  • How To: The Renée Way +

    Apply a thin layer using your ringfinger (the weakest finger). Start at the inner corner of your under-eyes, tapping in a “C” shape and finishing at the brow bone. Avoid using on the eyelids and getting too close to the lashline since you don’t want cream migrating into your eye. Ideal for morning use.

In the Treatment Room

Apply eye cream to the bone area only. Anything closer, the oils can travel into the eyes causing puffiness and irritation.
Always use your ring finger to gently pat eye cream from the outside in. This motion goes against natural expression lines to help minimize creasing over time.
To prevent under-eye puffiness, avoid salty foods before bed and sleep on two pillows. A morning shower boosts circulation to help puffiness drain faster than washing at the sink.

    Love

    I’ve been using for years and haven’t found anything this good. Most eyes creams are way too thick and make my eyes puffy. This is moisturizing and deputing.

    Never giving this up!

    Absolute favorite

    I’ve been using this for years. It’s the only eye cream that doesn’t make me wake up with puffy eyes even during allergy season. Please never discontinue this!

    My #1 Eye Cream

    I’ve been using this for 6 or 7 years now. I have tried a thousand different eye creams, but this remains my favorite. My eye area is sensitive and I can get what look like tiny red pin-pricks all around my eyes, even though I always use gentle products. The Vitamin C Eye Brightener has never irritated my skin, and helps to calm it if it’s gotten irritated by something else. It has consistently kept my eye area hydrated, firm, bright, and glowy. I’m only 42, I haven’t had any wrinkles around my eyes yet, so I can’t speak to whether this cream is especially helpful for that. But it’s definitely a good choice to try for puffiness, dark circles, or sensitivity. (FWIW, if you have similar eye sensitivity, I also highly recommend the Soothing Eye Makeup Remover.)

    Vitamin C Eye Brightener

    This eye cream is great for the daytime. It keeps the wrinkles and dark circles away . Your eye makeup doesn't move when using it.
