What the gurus are saying

Hydration and under-eye brightening are what reviewers point to with this eye cream. The visible brightening effect on the delicate area pairs nicely with the moisture delivery for a refreshed look. Not many gurus have stepped in to review it yet, so you're seeing early feedback, but the consensus so far is solidly positive from everyone who has tried it.

"For lightening and brightening in the morning, I can't pass up the Tatcha Silk Peony Eye Cream. Beautiful eye cream for nice hydration in the morning. It probably doesn't work as well under makeup as the Dr. Loretta gel, but this is great for no makeup makeup days for hydrating and brightening the under eye."

"I love this eye cream by Tatcha. It is a cream versus a gel. This just gives lovely hydration plus a little bit of brightening, and you don't need much, but it's really a lovely eye cream."

"I love an eye cream or an eye gel. My two favorites are the Tatcha and the Dr. Loretta. For an eye gel my number one favorite [...] is the Dr. Loretta eye gel, and for a cream, the Tatcha. It always just brightens up my under eye area. Now I used to think that a cream was creating milia, and I think for some people it does, but this does not seem to do anything but kind of hydrate and brighten my under eye area."

"Eye creams, do you need a dedicated eye cream? No. Do I love a dedicated eye cream? Yes, I have to admit. I'm going to be using a tried and true, this is the one by Tatcha, a nice creamy hydrating formula. I'm almost down to the bottom of this. This will be my morning eye cream."

"As far as eye creams, I know they're controversial. I didn't use an eye cream until a couple years ago, but my absolute favorite Sephora eye cream is the one by Tatcha. It's a bit luxury, but I absolutely love it. It's a cream formula, which some people worry about getting milia. I am prone to milia, but I haven't had a problem using this. It just brightens up the under eye, it's super hydrating. I put it in about the third step of my skincare routine and then go on with the rest of my serums while that kind of soaks in."

"Tatcha is one of those brands I've always felt iffy about. The experience is very luxurious, it feels so nice on the skin, it really is lovely, but between the price points and the added fragrance in the products it is just too luxurious for my taste, and I feel like there's lots of comparable Japanese and Korean skincare products that deliver similar results and experiences for a much more affordable price. It's $67, which isn't crazy, but it is expensive, and it has parfum fragrance in it. That's a big issue I have with Tatcha, especially for an under eye product. The under eyes are so sensitive to begin with, you don't want to be really messing with them, and there's just a lot of comparable products out there, so I don't really get the hype."

What the evidence says.

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

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.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
