Seeing Double: These Serums Also Double as a Brightening Eye Cream

Since skin is thinner under the eyes, it often shows the first signs of ageing, including fine lines, dark circles, and skin laxity. One way to reverse the process is to use a brightening serum; however, to improve your results, it’s important to combine it with a Vitamin A product as well.

Brightening serums, such as Simply Brilliant  reduce the appearance of dark circles and discolouration. Simply Brilliant is formulated with powerful antioxidants and 10 skin-specific, plant-based ingredients shown to brighten and even skin tone. It’s gentle enough to use on the skin under the eyes. Adding a Vitamin A-based product stimulates cellular turnover and diminishes the fine lines that often form in this sensitive area.

Vitamin A & Brightening

Vitamin A and its derivative Retinol boost cellular turnover and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. As we age, our bodies naturally produce less collagen. As a result, fine lines and wrinkles begin to form as early as our 30s. Applying Vitamin A-based products may keep premature ageing at bay, helping skin appear brighter and younger.

Vitamin A serums that brighten your eyes

Define Vitamin A Resurfacing Treatment contains Chirally Correct AHAs as well as a 2% encapsulated Retinol AGP complex. Ideal for all skin conditions, Define stimulates collagen and elastin production to restore and smooth the delicate skin under the eyes. Apply it in the evening along with Simply Brilliant for best results. Refine Retinol Serum contains 4% Retinol AGP complex to restore damaged skin and improve the skin’s texture and tone. The formula stimulates collagen and elastin production to reduce the appearance of fine lines around the eyes and reduce the signs of aging. Since it’s so potent, begin applying it every third evening or so until you’ve developed a tolerance for nightly use. Serum 16 is professional-strength retinol that brightens the skin while boosting collagen. It’s formulated to tackle deeper lines, including crow’s feet, and visibly reduce the signs of aging while brightening the skin. Apply it every third night until you’ve built the tolerance to use it nightly.
