Vitamin C Eye Treatment

This eye treatment uses a blend of vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and caffeine to brighten and refresh. While these ingredients are safe, it also contains salicylic acid and natural essential oils, which may increase sensitivity during pregnancy. For that reason, we recommend using it with caution and only under your doctor’s guidance if pregnant or breastfeeding.

✅ Vitamin C derivatives (tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl palmitate) are pregnancy-safe antioxidants that support collagen and brighten the under-eye.

✅ Caffeine helps reduce puffiness and is safe in topical use.

✅ Hyaluronic acid + panthenol hydrate and soothe.

⚠️ Salicylic Acid appears in the formula. While in low cosmetic levels (and especially in rinse-off) it’s often considered acceptable, leave-on eye treatments raise more caution during pregnancy.

⚠️ Essential oils / fragrance-related compounds (lavender oil, grapefruit oil, limonene, linalool, citral, geraniol) are not contraindicated but can increase irritation or sensitivity.

❌ No retinoids, hydroquinone, or benzoyl peroxide.

This eye treatment uses vitamin C, caffeine, and hyaluronic acid to brighten and hydrate. It is considered low risk for pore clogging, but the combination of rich emollients and mineral pigments means those prone to milia (tiny under-eye bumps) should patch test first.

✅ Vitamin C derivatives (tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl palmitate) are non-comedogenic antioxidants that help brighten and protect the under-eye area.

✅ Humectants & hydrators (glycerin, hyaluronic acid, sorbitol, panthenol) add moisture without clogging pores.

✅ Caffeine helps with puffiness and is safe for acne-prone skin.

⚠️ Fatty alcohols & emollients (stearyl alcohol, ceteareth-20, dimethicone) — usually low comedogenic risk but can occasionally cause congestion or milia under the eyes.

⚠️ Mineral pigments (mica, titanium dioxide) — not comedogenic, but sometimes occlusive in heavy under-eye creams, which can contribute to bumps.

⚠️ Fragrance-related compounds (lavender oil, grapefruit oil, limonene, linalool, citral) — don’t clog pores, but can irritate sensitive under-eye skin, indirectly triggering breakouts or dermatitis.

❌ No lanolin, coconut oil, or strongly comedogenic occlusives.

This eye treatment brightens and hydrates with vitamin C derivatives and hyaluronic acid. While effective, it does include salicylic acid and fragrance components, which may be irritating for sensitive eyes. Patch test carefully and introduce slowly.

✅ Contains two stable vitamin C derivatives (tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate) that brighten with less irritation than pure ascorbic acid.

✅ Includes caffeine to help reduce puffiness and hyaluronic acid + sodium hyaluronate to hydrate the delicate eye area.

✅ Soothing agents like panthenol, algae extracts, and hydroxyphenyl propamidobenzoic acid support comfort.

⚠️ Contains dimethicone and acrylates, which are generally safe but may feel heavy for some users.

⚠️ Salicylic acid (low-level) is present — unusual for an eye product, and may cause tingling or irritation in sensitive skin.

⚠️ Fragrance-related compounds (limonene, linalool, citral from natural oils) raise irritation risk for fragrance-sensitive individuals.

❌ Eye skin is thin and reactive, making any active (vitamin C, salicylic) more potent.
