Peptides (Eye Area)

A peptide eye cream for the look of fine lines around the eyes. Applied around the eye area, it helps the skin there look smoother, supporting a firmer-looking eye contour over several weeks of consistent use.

• Softens the look of fine lines around the eyes
• Promotes the appearance of smoother skin around the eyes
• Supports a firmer-looking eye contour

• Pat a drop-sized amount around each eye with a fingertip, along the brow bone and under the eye. Pat rather than rub — the skin there reacts to friction.
• Stay on the orbital bone, the ridge you can feel around the eye socket. Keep it off the lash line and out of the inner corner, so it cannot wick into the eye.
• Morning or evening both work. If a retinoid eye product is already part of your routine, the arrangement the studies actually tested is the peptide product in the morning and the retinoid at night.
• Every day from the start is fine. This is among the gentlest things you can use around the eyes, and no study found an easing-in period was needed.
• Give it about four weeks before judging it, and expect the visible difference to keep building after that.
• If your lids feel heavy in the morning, use less or choose a lighter texture — that feeling comes from a rich cream sitting near the lid, not from the peptides.
• Leave it off while the skin around your eyes is irritated or looking red, and start again once it has settled.

For external use around the eye area only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

No cosmetic regulator in these four markets sets a maximum strength for peptides (eye area). That is a limit on the rules, not a signal to use more: how much goes into a product is the formulator's decision.

Some sources below are the official product information for prescription medicines — some contain this ingredient at higher strengths, others are cited for how they interact with it. We use them for their safety and handling detail only. A cosmetic product is not one of those medicines and is not intended to treat any condition.
