Vitamin C for the eye area - done properly
The skin around the eye is thinner and more permeable than the rest of the face, which means it needs its actives calibrated differently. The iS Clinical C Eye Serum Advance+ uses 7.5% time-released L-ascorbic acid - the right concentration for periorbital skin - combined with copper tripeptide-1, hyaluronic acid, and zinc sulfate in a formula so deliberately minimal it has just ten ingredients.
That minimalism is the point. The eye area is where reactions happen and where unnecessary ingredients accumulate. Every ingredient in this serum has a clear job: the vitamin C brightens dark circles and supports collagen. Copper tripeptide-1 is clinically proven to diminish fine lines and visibly reduce crow's feet over time. Sodium hyaluronate hydrates deeply. Zinc sulfate reduces puffiness and provides photoprotection. Mushroom extract supports the barrier and calms inflammation.
The texture is almost water-light - it absorbs instantly, works seamlessly under eye cream or concealer, and doesn't migrate. One tiny drop covers both eyes. Reviewers describe it as genuinely brightening under the eyes within weeks, with consistent improvement in fine lines and puffiness over months. One reviewer noted it also strengthens lashes - an unexpected but welcome bonus from the copper peptide.
Who it's for:
Anyone with dark circles wanting a vitamin C-based approach to brightening
Fine lines and crow's feet around the eye area
Those wanting antioxidant and environmental protection for the eye area
Preventative users in their 30s who want to get ahead of eye-area ageing
Anyone who uses Pro-Heal Serum and wants to extend the same vitamin C philosophy to the eye area
"The C Eye Serum is a precise, minimal formulation - exactly what the eye area needs. Ten ingredients that are effective and really brighten the eye area with consistent use." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Apply 1 drop to the ring finger. Gently tap around the orbital bone, under the eye and along the brow bone. Avoid the eyelid and inner corners. Use morning, evening, or both. Layer under eye cream if desired. A practical note on application: apply to the orbital bone area rather than directly on the eyelid, and avoid the inner corners. The low pH from the ascorbic acid can sting if it migrates into the eye itself.
Fragrance-free, oil-free, silicone-free. Use within 6 months of opening - store away from direct sunlight to maintain vitamin C potency.
