What the gurus are saying

This serum smooths under-eye texture and plumps skin noticeably, with most gurus praising its comfortable, occlusive formula that hydrates without heaviness or milia. The retinol content (not widely promoted) works gently enough for nightly use on delicate skin, and the stabilized vitamin C form suits those sensitive to standard ascorbic acid. One expert found it delivered no visible change despite sustained use and felt the price didn't justify the results, though he acknowledged it was a pleasant formula to apply.

"It is an elegant formula and feels very nice applying it on the under eye area, so it delivers luxury on that front. But besides that, I really didn't notice any difference on my under eye areas. I used this one for a long time and finally just gave up after a while because I was like, 'Okay, I don't think this is doing literally anything.' Is it a bad eye cream? No. But contrasting the price point with the actual results, [...] absolute zilch results."

"Summer Fridays has their Jet Lag eye serum, which they don't really promote as containing retinol but it does contain retinol, so I'd use it [...] at night. With retinol eye creams you want something lightly formulated because it's about consistency over intensity."

"I don't know where it came from, but I was just crossing off the inside corner of my eyes. This was a lifesaver because it smoothed it out. And listen, I had to get that stuff fixed within a week, within a few days because I need to wear makeup to film, right? [...] With that night mask, with having that kind of skin smoothed and evened out in texture, the next morning when you wash your face, when you go to apply your makeup, you're going to have a really beautiful texture."

"My favorite eye cream has to be the Jet Lag Overnight Eye Serum by Summer Fridays. This is really almost like an under eye mask because it's a lot more nourishing and hydrating and thick than your usual eye cream but made for that delicate skin around your eyes. It combines really super hydrating ingredients like glycerin along with gentle retinoids to help visibly minimize fine lines and smoother skin under the eyes."

"This is gonna really help, I believe. As far as the claims of that kind of instant pick me up, I [...] believe it. It's slightly thick, but it's not at the same time. When I applied it, I was like, oh, it's masky. It's occlusive. It's masky. But then it very, very gently and easily kind of sunk into the skin and sat better on the skin because it didn't fully sink in. But it felt extremely comfortable. And I'm gonna need another tube of this in like a week's time."

"The Summer Fridays Jet Lag Overnight Eye Serum has to be easily one of the best eye creams I have ever used, mainly because it's purposely made for that thinner, more delicate skin under the eyes and for nighttime use. It's nice and thick but doesn't take ages to rub in, so it sits comfortably without giving me milia. It's hydrating, moisturizing and soothing, and contains retinol that's safe to use under the eyes. It's made a difference especially to that texture under the eyes."

"I honestly love this eye cream. I feel like it really has made a difference. Honestly, this is like one of the only products that has actually helped my under eyes. [...] This eye cream has vitamin C, it has THD ascorbate vitamin C, which I am a fan of, and it's great for people who have sensitive skin. Ascorbic acid can be a little irritating for some people, so it's a nice form of vitamin C."

"The Summer Fridays Jet Lag Overnight Eye Serum is so new I haven't even talked about it on my channel yet, but [...] I love it that much already. The [...] texture is so beautiful and I've noticed a difference in just a few days using it at night. [...] My eye area feels more smooth, more hydrated, more plump and bright. I don't know what sorcery is in it, but I love it."

What the evidence says.

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

Retinoids

Retinoids are among the best studied ingredients in dermatology, with solid evidence for acne and for the fine lines and rough texture that come from sun exposure. Dryness and flaking in the first few weeks are common and usually settle.

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.

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.
