What they flagged

Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

What the gurus are saying

Silky, whipped texture is the detail these experts keep coming back to, with many saying it sinks in fast without the greasy shine of heavier eye creams. Weight is where opinions split, with some finding it a midweight and others calling it heavier than most K-beauty eye creams. The main complaints are the scent, which some find unpleasant, and a deep silicone applicator that some would rather skip.

"This one isn't as heavy as Numbuzin but still works and absorbs pretty quickly. For moisturizing power I'm putting it in A tier, just below Haru Wonder. My one complaint about these bakuchiol eye creams, including this one, is the scent, it's not great."

I Tested 17 Skin1004 Products… Here’s What I’d Actually Repurchase

"It's okay, it's pretty okay to buy. I prefer the version without the little device that the global market sells because that's annoying. If you're too afraid of retinol, bakuchiol can be a good replacement, and it's pretty hydrating, not too heavy but not too light either, right in the middle. I love the packaging because it's easy to use. [...] Overall it's okay, an easy, affordable eye cream to start with in your early 20s to 30s, great for all skin types."

"This one is brand new to me so I can't give [...] long term thoughts, but [...] so far I'm very happy with it. It's exactly like the other Probio-Cica products in that it's thick and nourishing, feels a bit heavier, which is a great, fantastic option since most K-beauty eye creams I've tried have been lightweight and it's harder to find a heavier one. It's an incredible price too, about eight dollars for a nice thick heavy eye cream."

"I do really like the Pro Bioa line from Skin1004. I love the eye cream. [...] I found the eye cream, the Pro Bioa Cica eye cream is the product that I probably purchased the most and repurchased the most. [...] I started using this in the middle to end of 2024 and it really has not left my regular skincare routine since. [...] I've gone through quite a few tubes of this. Probably one of my favorite eye creams in K beauty. [...] It has this really gorgeous silky moisturizing cream texture."

"I believe I showed this to you in my last skincare routine"

One-Handed Skincare?! | Routine After Spraining My Wrist

"I've only been using this for a few days so far. It has a deep applicator which I don't love. It's this silicone type material. All you do is press at the bottom to get the cream to come up and then you can use this as your applicator. The idea is that this is used as your applicator. Prior to spraining my wrist I was not using this because I don't really love these things. I was just using my fingers. However, now that I have sprained my wrist this is one-handed skincare."

The Best Skincare of 2024!

"The texture is what really won me over. I'm really a stickler for texture with eye creams. I look for something that's nourishing, repairing, moisturizing, soothing, but then you want your anti-aging benefits too. Texture-wise, this is the most beautiful silky moisturizing rich texture that's not heavy, not balmy, and not greasy. Some moisturizing textures are so beautiful but they take forever to sink in, [...] and you see the streaks of the cream on your face because it's not absorbing."

"This is the Skin1004 Probio-Cica Eye Cream and I'm getting down to the bottom of this, it's my second tube now, and I really like it because look at that gorgeous, silky, luxurious texture. I've been seeing this in almost all of my routines for the last couple of months, so I've been really loyal to this one. I think it's brightening. I know I said it at the end of my first tube, I was like I'm pretty sure it's brightening, but I'm not entirely sure."

Skincare Empties + Newbies | Repurchase or Replace?

"The things that I really like about this eye cream, really the texture really won me over. It is very creamy, it's very silky, it's very nourishing, but it almost is in more of like a whipped kind of texture. There's just a little bit more of an airiness and a lightness even though it is a cream. It's not really dense and hard to spread, or like some eye creams that you almost have to warm up between your fingers before you apply them so they actually spread and absorb more easily."

My 2025 Skincare Wins and Lessons | Chatty Skincare Routine

"This is the Skin1004 Probio-Cica Eye Cream. And this actually is a great product to talk about as my next lesson, which is viral fails are not as good as boring staples. So this eye cream from Skin1004, you've seen me use quite a bit starting last year. Um, and I've gone through quite a few tubes consecutively. And it's interesting because my job really is to test a lot of different skincare products and new skincare products, right? And that's so fun."

Sickness Reset | AM Skincare Routine After a Cold

"I really have fallen in love with this eye cream and finally by the end of 2024 I found an eye cream I actually enjoy. I really love the texture of this, it's really buttery, it's almost like a whipped kind of an eye cream, but it really does actually absorb into the eye area very nicely. It's very smoothing and plumping, and I believe a little bit brightening as well with the bakuchi. But it's not like greasy, it's not like coating my eye area in a thick heavy barrier of a product."

Best SKINCARE I EMPTIED in 2025!!

"I have to talk about the Skin1004 Probio-Cica Eye Cream. I've had two empties of this this year. [...] This eye cream, wow, this rocked my world. I started using this towards the end of 2024, like in the fall. [...] It's just kind of like a Goldilocks moisturizing eye cream for me personally. It has this really great traditional cream texture, but it's silky. It's really easy to spread. It's quickly absorbed into the skin. It's not really heavy, dense, greasy, or hard to spread."

11/10 ⭐ Skincare Empties I Recommend!

"This is my first empty of this but it's not going to be my last one. I love the texture because it's really moisturizing and very nourishing but it's not heavy and greasy. It's got a really nice whipped cream texture to it and it really absorbs nicely. It's just very luxurious. I found that the applicator tip screws off, which is actually really useful because I was able to squeeze out so much more product by taking the applicator tip off and really getting so much more value out of this."

"I'm going to put on my eye cream while I tell you about this, which is the Skin1004 Probio-Cica Eye Cream. I'm going to put this on before the retinol just to protect that delicate eye area."

2024 Skincare Wins and Lessons | PM Routine

"This is the Skin1004 Probio-Cica Eye Cream and as you can see it does have this applicator tip but my tube is basically empty and I love that the applicator actually screws off and you have basically like this true eye cream tube, so it's so much easier to squeeze out the last bits before you maybe cut it open and get some more out of it. I was so delighted when I discovered that about this eye cream when I was getting towards the bottom and it was so hard to squeeze out with that applicator."

My Top 5 Eye Creams | 2025 Edition

"I love this so much that I'm actually on to my third tube of this already. I really think that this eye cream is best for those who are looking to smooth and firm the skin around the eyes and especially if you're looking for brightening. I find this to be a really great brightening eye cream. It's also very moisturizing if you have dry skin around your eyes or if you feel that you need a little bit more like skin repair."

December Faves | Haruharu, SKIN1004, Unove

"I've emptied my tube and I haven't really talked about this too much but I'm actually really liking this so much that I've already bought two more. [...] This was [...] a slow burn for me because [...] when I first opened it, I saw this silicone under-eye applicator and I don't really like these. [...] I've used them before and [...] I always find myself just putting it onto my finger and patting it in instead. Dragging it across my skin isn't my favorite, and it takes a little bit longer."

Empty Skincare and What I Replaced Them With!

"I've been so picky about skincare, but I really like this a lot, a lot, a lot. This actually has a really similar texture to the Herborean eye cream because it has that silky cream texture. [...] But it's not heavy, dense, hard to spread. [...] It's luxurious and silky and moisturizing, but it's not incredibly rich. [...] It's just a little bit more elegant. It sinks in a little bit better. Your skin is still silky on top. This is probably my fourth tube. It might be the fifth."

My SKIN1004 Top 5 Picks!

"I absolutely adore this. It's got a really great ingredients list, a really great texture, and I even like the packaging. [...] Ingredients-wise, we have niacinamide, a great brightening ingredient that can also help strengthen the skin barrier. We have centella. It definitely helps with brightness, so this is definitely a formula that comes together to help fight that under-eye darkness and it definitely does deliver on brightness. Centella may also help to stimulate collagen."

"When I squeeze it out, it's sort of like a midweight. If you're prone to millia from really rich creams, this is a really nice eye option as well. But it also is quite hydrating. [...] Texturally stunning. Wears well under makeup. You could use this during the day and at night. Bakuchiol has only been studied to be effective or as effective as retinol."
