The choice between the two eye creams comes down to what is bothering you. If it is shadow and dullness, this one, because vitamin C is the brightening active and it is here in a stable ester rather than a form that oxidises in the jar. If it is firmness and crepiness, the EGF cream. Buying both is rarely the right answer.

Key actives
| Active | What it does | Why we use it |
|---|---|---|
| Stable vitamin CTetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate | An oil-soluble vitamin C ester, more stable than pure ascorbic acid and gentler on thin skin. | Around the eye, stability and low irritation matter more than raw strength. |
| Firming peptidesPalmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 | Two peptides used to support the look of firmness and soften the appearance of fine lines. | They are the reason this is not only a brightening cream, and why it reads as more rested overall. |
| Bakuchiol with niacinamideBakuchiol, Niacinamide | A plant-derived retinol alternative alongside niacinamide, which supports tone and barrier comfort. | Both are here in supporting roles, and both are gentle enough for eyelid skin. |

Common questions
If your main complaint is shadow, dullness and looking tired, this one. If it is crepiness, thinning lids and firmness, the Bio-Renew EGF Eye Cream. If it is puffiness and you have oily skin, the Phyto-Active Eye Serum, because it carries no heavy base. Ask us if you cannot place yourself.
In this form, yes. Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is an oil-soluble ester, more stable than pure ascorbic acid and much less likely to sting. If your skin is very reactive, patch-test on the inner arm for a few days before you use it near the eye.
Yes. Keep the face serum off the eyelid and use this in its place there. You are not overdosing on vitamin C by using both, they are covering different areas at different strengths.
Tap it along the orbital bone, the bony ridge you can feel around the socket, and onto the lid. Stay off the lash line and out of the eye. If you wear contact lenses, put them in after it has absorbed.
