Eye Area Innovation: Peptides, Retinol, and More in Four Standout Launches
Eye care innovation is moving beyond basic hydration, with new treatments targeting multiple concerns—lifting lids, reducing puffiness, brightening dark circles, and smoothing fine lines. These latest launches combine targeted delivery systems with powerful actives to support the delicate eye area and restore a refreshed, youthful look over time.
Paula’s Choice Pro-Collagen Peptide Firming Eye Serum
This gel-based treatment is paired with a cooling metal applicator to deliver an instant depuffing effect while absorbing quickly into skin. The formula combines four targeted peptides to address sagging, puffiness, fine lines, and dryness. Tridecapeptide-1 helps improve wrinkles and skin texture, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 supports firmness while reducing irritation, and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 provides hydration and skin-restoring properties. Designed for 360° application, it works across lids, under-eyes, brow bones, and outer corners.
Kopari Ceramide & Retinol Dual-Core Eye Balm
With a unique dual-core design, this glide-on balm delivers targeted treatment without tugging the delicate skin. The encapsulated retinol core smooths fine lines, improves tone, and supports skin renewal, while the ceramide-rich outer layer strengthens the skin barrier and locks in moisture. Squalane adds lightweight hydration and helps improve texture. The encapsulation technology makes it gentle enough for both morning and evening use.
Peach Slices Snail Rescue Ultimate Eye Gel
Formulated with 70% snail mucin, this cooling gel hydrates, smooths, and helps repair skin while improving elasticity. Niacinamide (2%) brightens and targets dark circles, while birch juice provides antioxidants to protect and balance skin. Hyaluronic acid delivers lasting hydration, and centella asiatica (cica) helps calm irritation and reduce redness. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture makes it suitable for daily use, morning or night.
Biossance Squalane + 5% Niacinamide Brightening Eye Serum
This roll-on eye serum uses a 360° lymphatic roller to deliver a cooling effect while applying its active formula. 5% niacinamide brightens and soothes, oil-soluble vitamin C enhances luminosity, and caffeine revitalizes tired eyes while helping to reduce puffiness. Dual peptides target firmness and depuffing, while squalane provides lightweight hydration. Ideal for quick morning refreshes or pre-event touch-ups.
