The new Skin Physics serum range has a solution for every skin concern, and this eye serum is a revitalising complex that de-puffs, brightens, tightens & firms for a smooth and vibrant eye contour.

Some of the ingredients that make this formula a winning one are:

• 5% Caffeine to constrict blood vessels and fortify delicate skin around the eye contour to reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffy under-eye bags.
• 3% Easyliance, an innovative tightener from nature – spreading out on the skin surface to form an elastic film that retracts and stretches the skin leading to visible and immediate decreases in wrinkle depth.
• Niacinamide helps to improve uneven skin tone, refines pores, improves skin elasticity, and reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
• Hyaluronic Acid. Attracts and retains moisture deep into the skin to hydrate and plump from within.
• Copper Peptides. Help to stimulate collagen and elastin, reducing the depth of lines and wrinkles.
