"One of my favorites for the morning is the iNNBEAUTY PROJECT Bright and Tight Eye Cream. This one's really nice, it has vitamin C, tranexamic acid, and peptides, so peptides are an alternative to retinol in the sense that they accomplish similar things and help tighten the aging skin, but the vitamin C and tranexamic acid will help with pigmentation. I have really enjoyed using this in the morning, I'm actually wearing it underneath my makeup right now. I would repurchase this again in a heartbeat."

"This one has three types of vitamin C's and there's also tranexamic acid so these two ingredients specifically can really help to brighten up the skin around the eyes if you struggle with dark circles discoloration dullness then vitamin C and tranexamic acid with consistency can really help to brighten and this eye serum really does brighten. I don't struggle with dark circles I'm very fortunate but sometimes my under eyes can be a little dull and this has been a great one to use to brighten up the skin specifically so I really love using this in my morning routine but this can be used every day twice a day. [...] There is also peptides in here which will help to firm the skin and address fine lines and wrinkles there's bakuchiol which is a plant-based alternative to retinol so it does very similar things to what retinol does but it is way more gentle."

"When everything feels and looks dull and fatigued or even anemic, it's all about the brightening. It contains three derivatives of vitamin C, the three that are the most powerful at visibly brightening the skin. This also contains 3% tranexamic acid as well as licorice root, which are both well known for helping brighten the skin and even out pigmentation. For aging concerns, there's also bakuchiol and peptides, and for the deep puffing, there's caffeine in this. But my favorite part of this eye cream is just that golden hue it has. This is similar to the Ula Hendrickson's banana eye cream. I just love that neutralizing golden hue, great for instant results as well. [...] When I use this, my eyes immediately just feel more awake. This is actually quite lightweight, it feels very refreshing, and of course this works really beautifully under makeup."

My Spring Morning Skincare Routine | 2024

"The texture is perfection. It's rich enough that you really feel that this is moisturizing for this area, but at the same time it dries down and absorbs super fast, which makes this so great for morning routine because this sits really well under makeup but at the same time it gives you long-lasting moisturization. This has been clinically tested to show results within 2 weeks of brighter eyes and less pigment. This is [...] all about the brightening of this area. It also contains tranexamic acid, 3% I believe, as well as some brightening vitamin C derivatives and it's got some peptides in it. [...] What I'm really drawn to and what makes me reach for this in the mornings is it's got those brightening pigments to it. [...] It's a real subtle brightening, perfect for neutralizing the more purplish pigment I get around here, which is more an anemic, like a bruise. This is also a very, very lightweight texture in my opinion."

"I actually don't love the INNBEAUTY Project Bright and Tight eye cream, I find it too thick and not moisturizing enough. It really feels more like if you took a concealer and mixed eye cream into it, whereas the Alpyn feels like an eye cream with some color correcting pigments in it. It's not enough moisture for me personally, when I tried to switch to this in my review my under eye area was getting dry."

I Tried the Innbeauty Project: My Hits & Misses!

"I was really enjoying this initially, not as my only eye cream but as an alternative for days I felt like skipping concealer, just a tiny amount under my eyes actually brightens up my skin. But when I tried to exclusively switch to it every day I didn't love it, it's not the most moisturizing eye cream I've tried and since I have dry skin I need moisturizing eye creams. It also isn't great under makeup, it plays funny with some of my concealers. It has 3% tranexamic acid plus three different forms of vitamin C derivatives and peptides, a beautiful formula, but all that said I do like it, just not every single day, and I wouldn't recommend making it your only eye cream."

What the evidence says.

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

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Tranexamic acid

Tranexamic acid has a growing body of clinical evidence for melasma and the stubborn patches of pigment that other ingredients struggle with.

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.
