What the gurus are saying

The metal roller ball applicator delivers a cooling, massaging sensation that helps drain puffiness and refresh tired eyes, especially valued in hot weather. The medium gel texture hydrates without feeling heavy or oily, plumping fine lines and reducing mascara smudging, making it a good choice for anyone who finds traditional eye creams too creamy or greasy when temperatures climb. The cooling effect pairs well with the hydration to smooth the eye area long term.

"My old favorite eye serum is the Axis-Y. I still love this, I'm just out of it now, and that's the problem. They were only ten milliliters, tiny little things, so I finished them too quickly, which is frustrating."

"I finished another Axis-Y Vegan Collagen Eye Serum. It's my favorite eye serum, both for the packaging and for the formulation."

"I love the pump system on this. I love the formula, the ingredients list, absolutely phenomenal, full of humectants, very hydrating. I love applying it, such a soothing eye serum to use."
Axis-Y Products, RANKED: Best & Worst from this Vegan K-Beauty Brand!
"The Vegan Collagen Eye Serum, I love this product so much, it is innovation to its core. It's got hydrating ingredients and peptide ingredients in a low irritant formula, which is so nice to see for the eye area, and the design is genius, you pump it down and the product comes out through a roller ball. It's so delightful, you cannot help but enjoy applying it, and it's so hydrating that I feel fully convinced you'll see results very rapidly. It's also as affordable as it is, I paid about 14 dollars for it last time I bought it, and while it's small, so is your under eye area, so it lasted me about 2 to 3 months. This is my best eye serum."
BEST KOREAN SKINCARE OF 2024 (and of all time)
"This is going to be my favorite here, because while it has that joyous packaging that just feels so nice to use, as a standalone eye serum, if this was awful packaging I would still love the product. Fragrance free, which I just feel like all eye products probably should be, it's got some hydrating collagen, some peptides in it, some of my favorite peptides, it's got brightening niacinamide, it's even got ceramides. It's just such a perfect formula, you have the best product and the best packaging."

"Axis-Y leveled up this pump serum system, I think the Axis-Y Eye Serum just does it better than the Beauty Bio Eyelighter Concentrate."

"This Vegan Collagen Eye Serum is one I cannot stop talking about, it's part of Axis-Y's more recent move toward fragrance free products."
Skincare Empties: the Sunscreen Edition!
"I love this Axis-Y Vegan Collagen Eye Serum. The packaging is brilliant, you physically pump out the product and it comes out onto a roller ball, it's a cooling experience, it's wonderful. It's very hydrating too, it has a collagen triple hyaluronic complex and five peptides in it, and it's very affordable compared to something like the Tata Harper. I received this gifted through YesStyle and I immediately repurchased it before I was even out, that's how much I loved this product."

"I didn't even know the Axis-Y Vegan Collagen Eye Serum was a brand new release, but oh my gosh, I love it so much I already bought a backup. The pump packaging is brilliant, and I no longer feel like I have to repurchase my favorite Dr. Dennis Gross eye serum, this is that good."

"I wanted to try this AXIS-Y Vegan Collagen Eye Serum, which has collagen, hyaluronic acid, and five peptides, and it comes with a roller ball applicator. I have griped for many years on this channel about roller ball eye serums, but this is a brilliant system. I do like AXIS-Y, once again they come through with something that feels actually different, I like this brand. I'm also happy they kept it fragrance free, since they're normally a bit of a mixed bag on fragrance, but I think that's preferable in an eye cream since you're talking about a sensitive area. Unquestionably my favorite discovery today is the AXIS-Y eye serum, I'm really excited to try this more."

"Heat can make everything swell a little bit. If you're already prone to puffy eyes, you may notice that they actually get worse in the summertime. This product has a metal roller ball applicator, which is amazing for creating that cooling, rolling, massaging sensation in the eye area that is going to help to depuff the eye area, especially if you feel that or if you just have a hard time waking up and feeling refreshed in the morning. The coolness and [...] massage helps get the lymphatic drainage going in that area, which is also going to meaningfully contribute to depuffed eye area. The texture is a gorgeous medium gel. It is not oily, emollient, or moisturizing. It is truly hydrating and it's such an amazing gel texture. It cools and refreshes. It dives deep down with a lot of hydration. [...] When the under eye area gets a little dehydrated and it's not really plump, the fine lines appear a lot more prominent. [...] This gel texture actually really plumps and smooths out the eye area in a really appealing way, and then it hydrates long term. It feels really cooling and it's not heavy. So you're going to get a lot less mascara smudging if you're a makeup wearer and just less overall grease and heaviness in the eye area, plus the cooling sensation. [...] This is a great one especially for folks who maybe skip out on eye cream because of that creamy texture in hot weather."

How I Get a Warm Summer Glow Without Sun Damage (GRWM Skincare + Makeup)
"The Axis Y Vegan Collagen Eye Serum is another hot weather favorite from mine from last year. This has a beautiful plumping almost mediumlike gel texture. It's not super thin. There is quite a bit of body to this pure gel texture. It's incredibly refreshing. With the roller ball applicator here, you do get that cooling effect from the metal ball. It's not an amazing applicator for spreading and getting the product to absorb. You still don't want to use your fingers, but I just love that cooling sensation, especially when I'm waking up and I'm already feeling kind of overwhelmed from the heat, and that can happen pretty quickly. So I really like just that cooling, refreshing moment."

"I'm also a fan of some K beauty eye products, like the AXIS-Y Vegan Collagen Eye Serum is great."

"Between the three roller eye creams, Axis-Y is my favorite. These are more like a light eye gel than a classic eye cream, so I don't think I'm actually going to use it myself, maybe just for fun. But if you have dry, mature skin and care about wrinkles and want a good level of moisture, this isn't for you."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Source: DermNet

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Source: DermNet

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
