OOTD Dark Circle Eye Serum 30g

The skin under the eyes is thinner than anywhere else on the face, which is why a dedicated product makes sense rather than taking face serum up to the orbital bone. The ootd dark circle eye serum is a 30g serum built for that area, with a 19-ingredient formula.

The ingredient list is short and the actives sit at the end, which is standard for a formula at this concentration. Niacinamide, Ceramide NP and ascorbic acid are the three the brand leads with: niacinamide for an even-looking tone, Ceramide NP to support the skin's surface, and ascorbic acid as the vitamin C. Glycerin, allantoin and cetearyl olivate handle the base. The texture is light enough that it absorbs without leaving anything sticky, which matters under concealer.

This suits anyone wanting a targeted eye step. The brand states the formula is EVE Vegan certified and cruelty-free. Note it does contain fragrance, so it is not the right pick if you only buy fragrance-free eye products.
