DERMA E Vitamin C Brightening Eye Cream, 0.5 fl oz

DERMA E Vitamin C Brightening Eye Cream combines stabilized vitamin C, niacinamide and caffeine with light-reflecting mineral pigments for a brighter-looking eye area. It is a leave-on eye cream designed to address the appearance of dullness, dark circles and fine lines in a morning routine.

Brightening and an optical smoothing effect

The carton highlights stabilized vitamin C and niacinamide. DERMA E describes the mineral pigments as helping blur the look of fine lines and illuminate tired-looking skin, while caffeine and cucumber extract help improve the appearance of under-eye bags and fatigue.

These are cosmetic appearance benefits, not a promise to permanently remove dark circles or treat an eye condition. A light-reflecting finish is distinct from a lasting change in skin pigmentation.

Three vitamin C ingredients and formula details

The published formula lists ascorbyl palmitate, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate and sodium ascorbyl phosphate. It also includes sodium hyaluronate, panthenol, allantoin, green tea, cucumber and turmeric extracts, plus ubiquinone and tocopheryl acetate.

Hydrolyzed wheat protein appears in this ingredient list, so review the current package if wheat-derived ingredients are a concern. This Brightening Eye Cream should not be assumed to have the same formula as DERMA E's older No Dark Circles Perfecting Eye Cream.

How to use in the morning

The manufacturer's directions for this Brightening Eye Cream say to gently tap a small amount onto clean, dry skin around the eyes in the morning. Follow the precautions and directions on the current package and avoid getting cream into the eyes.

Do not substitute the older Perfecting Eye Cream's twice-daily, eyelid or reapplication instructions. Introduce the cream according to your skin's tolerance and discontinue use if irritation occurs.

The listing name states 0.5 fl oz, but the pictured carton is marked 0.5 oz / 14 g. Fluid volume and net weight are different measurements; this is a labeling discrepancy, not a verified conversion. Check the current package for its declared quantity, final ingredients and warnings.
