What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently praise this as one of the best eye serums available, with near-universal acclaim for its ability to smooth crepey texture, depuff, and brighten dark circles. A drop goes far and the small bottle lasts months with daily use. The formula is gentle enough for twice-daily use and layers well under other products. Reviewers emphasize consistency yields visible results across multiple aging concerns. The only noted drawback is a slightly oily texture on application, though it absorbs quickly without interfering with makeup or other skincare.

"The NIOD Fractionated Eye Contour Concentrate made me realize the skin around my eyes needed something completely different than the rest of my face. That crepey skin entered the conversation, and this was one of the first products that really brought about change to the texture under my eyes. It wasn't overnight, it was gradual, but it was very specific. It made me realize that I needed to really treat it differently. I've repurchased this at least five times. This tiny little bottle lasts for ages, we're talking 6 months, because you just use the tiniest amount."

"This is an eye serum called the Fractionated Eye Contour Concentrate. I love this product. I've gone through so many bottles of it. It has been instrumental in helping reduce the crepiness under my eyes. This is where I feel I'm showing my aging, and it's not even the wrinkles so much as it is the texture of my skin, so this has been vital. I've probably gone through six or seven of these."

"This is the fractionated eye contour concentrate and it's all about texture and it just got rid of all of that crepiness. I've used this for so long now. I buy it over and over and over again, I'm never without it. I get it during the buy one get one free sales and the Good Friday sales. I tried using a new eye cream without this one and I'm already like, you can see a difference."

"I've been using it for years. I would buy this first before that eye serum because this does it all and I really like the cream. It's a little bit more moisturizing on the skin and this has the exosomes, the growth factors, the NIOD one does not. So, this just does a little bit more in my opinion and from my experience."

MY 5 GO-TO PRODUCTS FOR BRIGHT UNDER EYES AND SIGNS OF AGING
"This is one of the most impressive eye serums I have ever used. There's peptides in here, other types of antioxidants, there's superoxide dismutase. The AHAs are further down in the ingredient list so I would assume that the percentage of those are pretty low, but it really is gentle and it does help to keep everything really soft and smooth and of course, bright. You can use it every day twice a day and it's a great one because it pairs up nicely with other skin care products including an eye cream on top if you wanted to, face moisturizer, sunscreens, concealers. I've never had an issue with this interfering with anything and the more consistent you are with this, the better. It is very lightweight and it's one of the best eye serums on the market."

"This is the eye serum that I use every day. If I'm not using it in my morning, I will use it at night, but I mainly use this at least once a day. And there are times where I will use this twice a day. This is one of the best eye serums I've ever used. I've been talking about this for years. I've been using this for I don't even know, it could be 5 years or more. I've been using this consistently for that long. And I can assure you that this is an eye serum that actually performs and it's one that will target all eye concerns. So if you have crepiness, you have dullness, dark circles, puffiness, crows feet, fine lines and wrinkles, this is going to firm, it's going to brighten, it's going to smooth everything out. It does it all. And if you are consistent every day, at least once a day, I'm telling you, you will see results. This has a lot of peptides in it. It also has antioxidants in here. There is an ingredient called ruscus aulitus, which is derived from an evergreen shrub. And this ingredient depuffs. So, I really like this for the morning because I do wake up almost every morning with puffy under eyes and sometimes underneath that brow bone."
HONEST BEAUTY EMPTIES | SKINCARE & HAIRCARE PRODUCTS I'VE USED UP + WILL I REPURCHASE?
"The NIOD Fractionated Eye Contour Concentrate is an eye serum that I've been using for years. It's full of peptides and there's also antioxidants in here. It is very depuffing. A lot of the times I will use this in my morning skincare routine if I'm ever puffy, especially underneath that brow bone. And it's also very brightening and hydrating. It honestly targets all eye concerns. So, if you're looking for an eye serum that doesn't have retinol and harsh actives, then this would be great to look into. This can be used morning and night, twice a day, or you can just use it once a day."

"This is a wonderful eye serum to soften fine lines and wrinkles and to give that brightness around the eye. If you do have dark circles and discoloration, this serum can help to brighten it. It does help to depuff. I love this eye serum for the morning. I am somebody who wakes up quite puffy around the eye area most of the time, and it really does an excellent job to depuff, especially that area underneath the brow bone. It's wonderful and it does help to firm the skin. There are peptides in this formulation, there's caffeine, there's niacinamide, there's wonderful ingredients and it's really advanced. I highly, highly recommend this eye serum. You bet I'll be picking up like two of these because it is that good."

"This contains glycolic acid and some AHAs to really help keep the skin nice and exfoliated and smooth. There's a lot of antioxidants in here as well as peptides. The ingredient list is very advanced and this is truly one of a kind. All you need is one little drop and that will do both of your eyes, so a little bit does go a long way with this. This can be used every day, twice a day. If you're looking for a good anti-aging eye serum that can be used daily, you have to look into this one."

"The NIOD Fractionated Eye Contour Concentrate is another product that I have seen sell out many times. This is one of the best eye serums I have ever used, especially for signs of aging, but also this really helps to depuff and it really helps to give that overall brightness around the eye area. So if you have dark circles this will be a great option. For those that have texture, that creepiness, this honestly addresses all of those concerns. This formulation contains a lot of different types of peptides which I feel helped to firm the skin around the eyes. It really helps to soften those fine lines. There is niacinamide in here, so great if you do have dark circles. There's panthenol, there's glycolic and lactic acid in here, great for texture, and there is also vitamin C, and the list goes on. So there are so many wonderful anti-aging ingredients in this little bottle here, and I honestly haven't found anything like it. I use this every day, sometimes twice a day, and this is a very underrated eye serum."
RATING NIOD'S BEST SELLING SKINCARE | THERE ARE 10 PRODUCTS AND I'VE USED THEM ALL!
"This ingredient helps to de-puff and I'm telling you it does. I really love this eye serum especially for the morning because I wake up puffy almost every morning so I really do feel like this eye serum works for that, but it also really helps to keep that skin nice and smooth and bright around the eyes. If you have crepey skin, if you have some texture, this really is great for that. I think this is one of the best eye serums. It's very thin and lightweight, you can use it every day twice a day, and if you're not sure if you'd like to use it every day then that's okay too, use it once a day or a couple of days a week. It really is great, especially if you're looking for a nice serum that has ascorbic acid, which is vitamin C. We also have Centella asiatica in here and the list goes on. 10 out of 10, highly recommend."
THE ORDINARY & NIOD SALE 2023 | I SPLURGED ONCE AGAIN AND THIS IS WHAT I PURCHASED!
"This is their eye serum that is perfect for signs of aging, great for crows feet, texture, to give brightness around the eyes. It can really help to de-puff and to treat dark circles. There is a lot of peptides in here, there's antioxidants, there's vitamin C, there's niacinamide and the list goes on. Honestly, it is exceptional. I've been using this for a couple of years and it's one of my go-tos. So if I'm not using this there are two other eye serums that I'm using instead. This bottle will actually last a very long time. It's 15 mls of product but all you need is one little drop on your ring finger and that would be enough to do both of your eyes. Less is more when it comes to the eye area, so don't use too much because it's not necessary. If you're looking for a good eye serum with advanced ingredients then I would say go with this one."

"This is one of the best eye creams you will ever use. When it comes to the results, it's great at minimizing dark circles, puffiness, inflammation. It has some anti-aging benefits, too. And it's just a great allround treatment for the under eye. It's slightly oily in terms of its texture. I don't mind that because it sinks in really, really quickly, and you can put makeup on top of it. If you let it settle for like 2 minutes, then you can put makeup on top of it. It hydrates you like no other product under the eye. And it's just a really, really nice one."

NIOD SALE ANNOUNCED - Up To 50% Off 😱 (My NIOD Favourites)
"I don't think I've ever found an eye cream or serum that's been able to target those fine lines and wrinkles dark circles and discoloration the way that this has. It has a slightly oily texture on application but don't let that put you off, it sinks in without a trace and just leaves behind a veil of hydration. After a couple of uses you'll definitely see your under eye confidence going through the roof, and it's worth every single penny. Small but mighty, and yeah a product that my under eye has definitely been missing."

NIOD SALE ANNOUNCED - Up To 50% Off (My NIOD Favourites)
"The NIOD Fractionated Eye Contour Concentrate is one of the very best eye creams around. There are 15 different active components within this to help smooth out the under eye, eliminate discoloration, remove crow's feet and the lines and wrinkles. It's a great all-rounder and it's also super gentle, so if you're somebody that struggles with watery, runny eyes, if you use anything under them, this is a really great option. It does come with a slightly higher price point, which is why I only buy it during the sale, but I definitely know when I'm using this my under eye loves me for it. I've noticed the difference under the eye and it's phenomenal. It only comes in a small 15 ml bottle, but that's all you need. One drop gently applied under the eye and around the orbital bone will give you amazing results without you having to need a whole lot of product. It's small but it's mighty, and having tried a lot of different eye creams, I'd say honestly this is the best of the best. I'm giving it a 10 out of 10."

NIOD ARE BACK - Exclusive New Product Information & NIOD Favourites
"I stopped using it because I thought there's cheaper alternatives on the market, and I loved a lot of the other alternatives that I was using. Then the sale came around last November and I thought let me put one on order and see am I missing out on anything. Well, since then I've bought another three and I've never looked back. I don't think my under eyes ever looked as good as when I'm using this product. Are there cheaper options available? Absolutely. But do they work as well as this? They just don't. I've tried to wean myself off this for cheaper options, none of them worked as well. This is phenomenal and it's amazing. One of my absolute favorite products."

Should You Change Your FALL & WINTER ANTI-AGING SKINCARE ROUTINE?
"This is a new introduction to my eye routine. I use one drop divided for my under eye area, and it will last you forever. However, it's a greasy, oily product and I don't use it during the day because it just makes my under eye greasy looking and accentuates the look of my hollows under my eye. I have reintroduced it over top my Dermatology HPR for my night routine."

DECIEM: THE ORDINARY & NIOD | Innovative Anti-Aging Skincare on a Budget
"I have reintroduced this more recently. I'm using it in combination with the Dermatology HPR eye cream. The HPR formula is a little bit more watery, it sinks in, and then I follow it up with the fractionated eye concentrate because this is a little bit more viscous, just following the rule of layering. I didn't like using this in the past because it has a slightly oily texture and I was like, oh that's so annoying, but I've moved it into my skincare routine. I never use it during the day because it just makes my under eye look greasy."

"This product is $70 for 15 ml. I would not go out of my way to repurchase this at $70. For me personally, I have not seen a huge difference in the way that my eye area looks using this compared to the glycerin skin protectant, and therefore I would be more inclined to just continue using that and not pay the big bucks for this. It is a good product. It does what it says it's supposed to do for the most part. It's just very expensive. Skincare products can only do so much, and you really have to have some sense of what it is you're dealing with around the eyes that you are hoping this product will address and set your expectations accordingly. If you have significant laxity around the eye area, a lot of redundancy, shadowing related to that, this is not likely going to give you dramatic results, and you may feel as though your money was wasted."

NIOD Fractionated Eye Contour Concentrate: IS IT WORTH IT?
"You really only need a drop to nicely create a thin film on the lower eyelid and the upper eyelid. But be really careful about getting this within roughly a millimeter of the lash line because if it gets into your eye it burns. It burns. It's a nuisance if that happens. So don't use too much and don't allow it to seep into your eyes by getting it too close to the lash line. Not a ton of difference in the appearance of my eyelids or the skin around my eyes. I will say that I noticed that my eye contour area out where the crow's feet are appears smoother, brighter, firmer, but my expression wrinkles look the same. Little fine lines less obvious than had I put nothing there, not any more diminished than when I use my favorite product to use around the eyes, a glycerin skin protectant. I get very similar results in terms of diminishing little fine lines, the dehydration lines especially, and brightening up and smoothing out the contour around my eyes where the crow's feet area is. This product with the peptides does actually lead to sustained hydration like it claims because a lot of it in my opinion likely relates to the moisture retaining properties of peptides. I also have noticed that I have a reduction in those little fine lines, but it's not strikingly different than what I would observe with the glycerin skin."
