What the gurus are saying

This corrector earns praise for delivering visible luminosity under the eyes while staying lightweight and comfortable. Gurus highlight it as an effective makeup solution for genetic dark circles and under-eye discoloration, particularly noting its ability to brighten without feeling heavy. The product gained a devoted following after Becca's closure, when Smashbox took over the formula to preserve it.

"This is a classic product, something that I feel like everybody needs in their makeup kit or collection. It's so beautiful. I'm wearing it today underneath the concealer. It gives such a beautiful luminosity under the eyes, cancels out dark circles without feeling heavy as well. It's so beautiful."

"This is a great product for those of you that have discoloration under your eyes. Sometimes it's just genetic and people always want skin care to fix it, but sometimes makeup is the answer, makeup can fix it. This is a great option, it's so good that when Becca closed, the product went over to Smashbox because we didn't want to lose it."

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.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

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.
