Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel

A rice grain-sized amount for BOTH eyes. Seriously, that's it.

Why so little:

This is concentrated - Peptides are expensive and potent. A little goes a long way.

Too much wastes product - Eye skin can only absorb so much. Extra just sits on surface doing nothing.

Too much can cause puffiness - Excess product sitting on thin skin can temporarily cause fluid retention (mild puffiness)

How to apply rice-grain amount:

1. Dispense tiny amount onto fingertip (literally the size of a grain of rice)
2. Dot it around one eye (under-eye, outer corner, between brows)
3. Pat gently to spread and absorb
4. Repeat for other eye

Most common mistake: Using way too much because "more = better." Not with peptides. More = wasted product and no additional benefit.

One tube lasts 90-120 days when used correctly (rice grain amount, twice daily). If your tube runs out in 30 days, you're using 3-4x too much.

Where to apply:

✓ Under-eye area (orbital bone under your eye)

✓ Outer corners (where crow's feet form)

✓ Between brows (where you get vertical lines from frowning)

✓ Upper orbital bone (just under your eyebrow)

✓ Directly on eyelid (thin skin, can migrate into eye)

Where NOT to apply:

✗ Too close to lash line (can get in eyes when you blink)

✗ Inner corner right next to tear duct (will migrate into eye)

The rule: Apply around the bony orbital area surrounding your eye, not ON your eye or eyelid.

Why: Your eyelid has the thinnest skin on your entire body and is right next to your eye. Putting product there risks migration into your eye, which can cause irritation even with gentle formulas.

Plus: The under-eye area and crow's feet zone are where you need collagen-building most. That's where visible aging shows first.

Application technique:

• Use ring finger (gentlest finger, least pressure)
• Pat gently to distribute
• Never rub or pull (creates the wrinkles you're trying to fix)

Both - morning AND night for best results.

Why twice daily:

Peptides work through continuous cellular signaling. Every time you apply, you're sending signals to your fibroblasts: "make collagen here."

Twice daily = stronger, more consistent signals = better collagen production = better results

Once daily = half the signals = slower, less dramatic results

Morning application:

• Provides peptide signaling during daytime
• Smooths eye area for makeup application
• Protects and hydrates throughout the day

Evening application:

• Provides peptide signaling during sleep (when skin repairs itself)
• No makeup interference - peptides can work uninterrupted
• Night is when most collagen synthesis happens

Can you use it only once daily? Sure, but your results will be slower and less dramatic. If you can only commit to once, do evening (that's when skin does most of its repair work).

For maximum results: Twice daily, every single day, for minimum 90 days.

You can (and should) layer other products over this.

Ideal layering order:

Morning:

1. Cleanser
2. Toner/essence (if you use)
3. Wrinkle Smooth Peptide Eye Gel (around eyes)
4. Face serum (avoiding eye area)
5. Face moisturizer (can go over eye area lightly)
6. Eye sunscreen or regular SPF
7. Makeup (if wearing)

Evening:

1. Cleanser
2. Toner/essence (if you use)
3. Wrinkle Smooth Peptide Eye Gel (around eyes)
4. Face serum or retinol (avoiding eye area where you applied peptides)
5. Face moisturizer (can go over eye area lightly)
6. Facial oil (if you use)

Why peptide eye gel goes early: It needs to be close to skin to penetrate. Let it absorb for 30 seconds, then continue with other products.

Can you put moisturizer over it: Yes - peptide gel sinks in fast, then you can seal with moisturizer if your eye area is very dry.

Can you put concealer over it: Yes - absorbs in 30 seconds, creates smooth base for makeup.

This works perfectly under makeup - actually makes concealer application smoother.

Why makeup artists love this:

Absorbs in 30 seconds - Completely sinks in, no residue left on surface

Smooth finish - Creates even texture for concealer to glide over

No pilling - Silicone base is designed to work with makeup, not fight it

Fills in fine lines - Instantly smooths so concealer doesn't settle into creases

Application for makeup wearers:

1. Apply peptide gel
2. Wait 30-60 seconds (grab coffee, do your brows, whatever)
3. Apply concealer - it will glide on smoothly and stay put
4. Peptides work under your makeup all day

Many makeup artists use this on clients specifically because it preps the eye area for flawless concealer application WHILE providing long-term anti-aging benefits.

This is not a primer though - Don't buy this just for makeup smoothing. Buy it for collagen-building and skin improvement. The makeup compatibility is a bonus.

Your eye area ages 10 times faster than any other part of your face because it's fundamentally different skin.

Here's what makes eye skin so vulnerable:

It's 10x thinner than facial skin - like tissue paper compared to regular paper. This means less natural protection and faster visible aging.

It has ZERO oil glands - your face has sebaceous glands that keep it moisturized. Your eyes don't. They dry out constantly and can't self-lubricate.

You blink 22,000+ times per day - every blink is mechanical stress that breaks down collagen. That's 22,000 tiny aging movements every single day.

Blood vessels show through easily - because the skin is so thin, you see blood pooling underneath. That's your dark circles.

Collagen breaks down faster than your body rebuilds it naturally, especially after age 30. Fine lines appear, skin gets crepey, and you start looking tired even when you're not.

Bottom line: Your eyes need specialized treatment that's gentle enough for thin, sensitive skin but strong enough to actually rebuild what's breaking down. That's exactly what medical-grade peptides do.

Because your eye area has the thinnest skin, no oil glands, and constant movement.Think of it like fabric: Thick denim takes years to show wear. Thin silk shows every wrinkle immediately.

What causes those specific lines:

Fine crepey texture = dehydration + thin skin with depleted collagen

Crow's feet = repetitive muscle movements (smiling, squinting) breaking down collagen

Under-eye creases = sleeping on your side + thin skin that can't bounce back

Smile lines at outer corners = expression lines from years of facial movement

Why they showed up on your eyes first: Less collagen to begin with, more mechanical stress from blinking, and zero natural oil to protect the skin.

The good news: Peptides rebuild collagen specifically in these thin areas. Your eye area responds to treatment because the skin is so thin - peptides can penetrate and work faster than on thicker facial skin.Most people see fine lines get noticeably shallower after 8-10 weeks of twice-daily peptide use.

Some eye aging can be reversed. Some can only be prevented from getting worse.

What peptides CAN reverse:

• Fine lines from collagen depletion (peptides rebuild structural support)
• Crepey texture from thinning skin (peptides thicken skin over time)
• Loss of firmness and elasticity (peptides improve skin structure)

What peptides SLOW but can't fully reverse:

• Deep expression lines (crow's feet from 20+ years of smiling - peptides make them shallower but won't erase them completely)
• Severe volume loss (lost fat pads need fillers, not topical treatments)
• Skin laxity from sun damage (peptides help but can't reverse severe photodamage alone)

What peptides PREVENT from getting worse:

• New fine lines forming (stronger collagen = more resilient skin)
• Existing lines deepening (enzyme inhibitor peptides block collagen breakdown)
• Future crepiness and thinning (consistent collagen building maintains thickness)

The realistic expectation: After 3-6 months of daily peptide use, most people see their eye area look 3-5 years younger. Fine lines are 40-60% less visible. Skin is noticeably firmer. You're not 25 again, but you look like the best version of your current age.

And here's the key: The longer you use it, the better you look. Peptides are cumulative - you're building collagen continuously. Someone who uses this for 2 years will have better results than someone who uses it for 3 months.

Peptides are tiny chains of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) that act like messengers to your skin cells.

In simple terms: Peptides are text messages telling your skin "hey, make more collagen here."

How your skin naturally works: When your skin is damaged or aging, your cells release peptides that signal: "we need repair - make collagen." Your fibroblasts (collagen-producing cells) respond by building new collagen.

The problem: As you age, these natural signals get weaker. Your skin stops making enough collagen to keep up with what's breaking down. That's why wrinkles form.

What this treatment does: Gives your skin EXTRA peptides - strong, clear signals that trigger collagen production even when your natural signals are weak.

Think of it like this: Your skin is a construction site. Peptides are the foreman yelling "build more structure here!" The more peptides you apply (twice daily, consistently), the more collagen your skin builds.

Why it takes 8-12 weeks: Collagen production is slow. Your body doesn't build collagen overnight - it's a biological process that takes months. But the results are structural and real, not just temporary smoothing.

Peptides work - but ONLY if:

1. You use the right peptides at the right concentrations
2. You use them consistently (twice daily, minimum 90 days)
3. You have realistic expectations about timing

The clinical evidence: Signal peptides (like Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4/Matrixyl) have peer-reviewed studies showing 30-40% reduction in wrinkle depth after 12 weeks of twice-daily use.

Neurotransmitter peptides (like Acetyl Hexapeptide-8/Argireline) have studies showing 17-30% reduction in expression line depth.

Enzyme inhibitor peptides show measurable increase in skin thickness and collagen density.

Why some people say "peptides don't work":

They quit too early - Used it for 2-3 weeks, saw no dramatic change, decided it was a scam. Peptides need 8-12 weeks MINIMUM.

They used it sporadically - Used it when they remembered (3-4x per week). Peptides need consistent daily signaling. Miss half your applications = miss half your results.

They bought weak formulas - Many "peptide serums" have peptides listed at the bottom of the ingredient list (meaning trace amounts). Concentrations matter. This formula has peptides high in the ingredient list at medical-grade concentrations.

They expected Botox results - Peptides give you 30-40% improvement over months. Botox gives you 80-90% improvement in days. Different mechanisms, different timelines, different results. But peptides are cumulative and don't require needles.

The truth: If you use THIS formula twice daily for 12 weeks, you will see measurable improvement. Not "maybe" - you will. Because the peptide concentrations are clinical-grade and the delivery system works.That's why we offer a 90-day guarantee. We know peptides work. We're giving you three months to see it yourself.

Because eye area aging happens through four different mechanisms, and you need four different peptides to address all of them.

It's like building a house: You need foundation, walls, a roof, and maintenance. One contractor can't do everything. You need specialists.

Peptide #1: Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (The Expression Line Fighter)Job: Relaxes muscle contractions that create crow's feet and smile lines

Result: Softens expression lines by reducing the repetitive movements that deepen them

Timeline: 4-6 weeks to see smoothing

Peptide #2: Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 (The Thickness Builder)Job: Signals production of Collagen Type I and III (main structural collagens)

Result: Thickens thin under-eye skin so dark circles show through less

Timeline: 6-8 weeks to see firmer, thicker skin

Peptide #3: Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4/Matrixyl (The Elasticity Restorer)Job: Signals production of Collagen Type IV/VII plus hyaluronic acid

Result: Improves elasticity so skin bounces back instead of staying creased

Timeline: 8-12 weeks to see crepey texture smooth out

Peptide #4: Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (The Protector)Job: Blocks enzymes that break down collagen and reduces inflammation

Result: Protects the collagen you're building so you keep your results

Timeline: Works continuously in background

Why you need all four: Each addresses a different aging mechanism. Miss one, and you're only fixing part of the problem.

One-peptide serums can help with one issue (like fine lines) but won't address dark circles, crepiness, AND expression lines simultaneously.

This is comprehensive anti-aging - attack eye aging from every angle at once.

Both build collagen, but they work completely differently - and for eyes, peptides are safer and often more effective.

RETINOL (Vitamin A):

How it works: Forces your skin to shed cells faster and speeds up cell turnover. This eventually triggers collagen production, but through controlled damage and inflammation.

Pros: Very effective for anti-aging on facial skin. Well-researched. Strong results.

Cons for eye area:

• Too harsh for thin eye skin - causes burning, redness, irritation
• Makes skin photosensitive (more sun damage risk)
• Can't be used near mucous membranes (your eyes)
• Causes peeling and flaking
• Takes 3-4 months to see results (similar timeline to peptides)
• Many dermatologists say DON'T use retinol near eyes

PEPTIDES:

How they work: Directly signal your skin to produce collagen without forcing cell turnover or causing inflammation. Gentle, targeted messaging to your collagen-producing cells.

Pros:

• Safe for delicate eye area skin
• No irritation, burning, or peeling
• Can be used right up to lash line
• Gentle enough for most sensitive skin, rosacea, dry eyes
• No photosensitivity (safe to use in daytime)
• Results in 8-12 weeks (actually faster than retinol for some people)

Cons:

• Requires consistency - miss applications, miss results
• Takes 2-3 months for visible results (not instant)
• More expensive than drugstore retinol (but comparable to prescription strength)

Which should you use?

For your face: Retinol (if your skin tolerates it)

For your eyes: Peptides (retinol is too harsh)

Many people do both: Retinol on face (avoiding eye area), peptide eye treatment around eyes. Best of both worlds - aggressive anti-aging on resilient facial skin, gentle collagen-building on delicate eye skin.

Bottom line: If you've tried retinol near your eyes and got irritation, redness, or burning - peptides are your answer. Same collagen-building benefits without the damage.

Yes - and you SHOULD.

This is designed to work with retinol, not replace it.

The perfect anti-aging strategy:

On your face (everywhere except eyes): Retinol

Around your eyes (where retinol is too harsh): This peptide eye treatment

Why this works: Retinol is amazing for facial skin but too aggressive for thin eye skin. You're NOT supposed to use retinol near your eyes - most dermatologists explicitly say avoid the eye area.This gives you anti-aging benefits specifically for the area retinol can't treat.

How to layer them:Evening routine:

1. Cleanse
2. Wait for skin to dry completely (important for retinol effectiveness)
3. Apply retinol to face, STOPPING at your orbital bone (stay away from eyes)
4. Wait 5 minutes
5. Apply Wrinkle Smooth Peptide Eye Gel around eyes (under-eye, outer corners, between brows)
6. Continue with moisturizer

Morning routine:

1. Cleanse
2. Apply Wrinkle Smooth Peptide Eye Gel around eyes
3. Continue with serums/moisturizer
4. SPF (mandatory when using retinol)

Many customers do exactly this: Tretinoin on face, peptide eye treatment around eyes. They're rebuilding collagen everywhere without irritating their delicate eye area.

No - and this is one of the main reasons this formula exists.

Sonia Roselli created this for herself because she has ocular rosacea and chronic dry eye syndrome - her eyes react to everything. Most eye creams make her eyes burn, water, or turn red.

Why this is different:

Ophthalmologist-tested - Tested on people with sensitive eyes to ensure safety

Fragrance-free - No synthetic fragrance or essential oils (common irritants)

No alcohol - Won't dry out thin eye skin or cause stinging

No harsh acids - No glycolic, salicylic, or strong AHAs that burn sensitive skin

Gentle peptides - Work through signaling, not irritation or inflammation

Lightweight base - Won't migrate into eyes and cause burning

Hundreds of people with extremely sensitive eyes use this twice daily with zero issues:

• Ocular rosacea sufferers
• Chronic dry eye syndrome
• Contact lens wearers
• Post-LASIK sensitive eyes
• People allergic to most eye products

What you'll feel: Cool relief. Gentle hydration. Comfort. Never stinging, never burning, never irritation.

If you've ever cried from eye cream burning: This won't. That's the whole point.

Yes - this is specifically designed for rosacea-prone skin, including ocular rosacea.

What makes it rosacea-safe:

No triggers - Nothing that typically causes rosacea flares:

• No fragrance or essential oils
• No alcohol
• No harsh acids
• No inflammatory ingredients

Anti-inflammatory ingredients - Niacinamide and peptides actually REDUCE inflammation, they don't cause it

Gentle formulation - Works through cellular signaling, not irritation

Barrier support - Ceramides and squalane strengthen your compromised eye barrier

Created by someone with rosacea - Sonia Roselli has rosacea and ocular rosacea. She wouldn't create something that triggers her own condition.

How to use it with rosacea:

First time: Test on a small area (outer corner of one eye) to see how your skin responds

Start conservatively: Once daily for the first week, then increase to twice daily if no reaction

Apply to calm skin - If you're flaring, wait until your rosacea calms down before introducing new products

Layer carefully - Use this AFTER your rosacea-friendly moisturizer if your skin is very reactive

Most people with rosacea: Have zero issues and use this twice daily with great results. But every rosacea case is different, so start slow.

If you react: Email us within 90 days for a full refund. But that's rare - this formula was literally designed for reactive skin.

No - this is designed by someone who has chronic dry eye and understands that problem personally.

Why this works for dry eye sufferers:

Never migrates into eyes - The gel-cream absorbs completely into skin in 30 seconds. Nothing travels into your eye socket to cause irritation.

No ingredients that trigger tearing - Nothing that would make sensitive eyes water or react

Actually hydrating - Helps hydrate the thin skin around your eyes (which is often dry when you have dry eye syndrome)

Lightweight texture - Heavy creams can clog meibomian glands (oil glands in your lids). This is light enough that it won't interfere with your tear film.

What you'll experience:

• No burning or stinging
• No excessive tearing or watering
• No blurry vision
• No feeling like something's in your eye
• Just comfortable, hydrated skin around your eyes

Many chronic dry eye patients use this twice daily and report it's the first eye product they've been able to tolerate in years.

Important note: This goes AROUND your eyes (on orbital bone, under-eye area, outer corners). Don't apply ON your eyelids or inner corners where it could potentially get in your eyes. The formula is safe, but dry eye patients should be cautious about application area.

Absolutely not - and Sonia specifically formulated this to avoid that problem.

Why this is contact-lens safe:

Absorbs in 30 seconds - The gel-cream penetrates skin completely. Nothing sits on the surface to migrate.

No heavy oils - Heavy eye creams contain oils that can transfer to contacts and cloud them. This uses lightweight silicones and squalane that absorb fully.

No migration - Formula is designed to stay where you put it, not travel into eyes or onto lenses

Ophthalmologist-tested - Tested specifically on contact lens wearers to ensure no vision issues

Thousands of contact lens wearers use this daily with zero cloudiness, zero blurring, zero problems.

Application tip for contact wearers:

Morning: Apply after you put your contacts IN (so no product can transfer during insertion)

Evening: Apply after you take your contacts OUT (so product has all night to absorb without any contact interaction)

Avoid: Rubbing your eyes after application. Let it absorb for 30 seconds first.

What you'll experience: Clear vision all day. No film on your contacts. No irritation. Just smooth skin around your eyes.

No - Sonia wears glasses daily and designed this specifically NOT to do that.

Most eye creams leave a slightly oily or silky finish that creates a film when it contacts glasses. Super annoying.

This doesn't because:

Fast absorption - Absorbs completely in 30 seconds, leaving no surface residue

No heavy emollients - No thick oils or butters that sit on skin and transfer to frames

Matte finish - Dries down to a barely-there finish, not a slippery or dewy one

What glasses wearers report: "First eye cream that doesn't make my glasses cloudy" is a common review.

Pro tip: Let it absorb for 30-60 seconds before putting your glasses on. Once absorbed, there's nothing to transfer to your frames.

The honest timeline (not marketing BS):

Day 1: Skin feels more hydrated and comfortable. That's nice, but that's not the peptides working yet - that's hydration.

Week 1-2: Under-eye area feels less dry and tight. Puffiness may reduce slightly from hydration. Still not peptide results - this is moisture and barrier support.

Week 3-4: You might start seeing subtle improvement in fine lines or skin texture. Early collagen synthesis is beginning. Dark circles may look slightly lighter from niacinamide.

Week 6-8: Visible improvement. Fine lines are noticeably shallower. Skin feels firmer when you touch it. Dark circles are lighter. Crepey texture is smoother. This is when peptides start paying off.

Week 10-12: Significant, visible results. People might ask if you got more sleep or changed something. Your eye area looks younger. Crow's feet are softer. Skin bounces back when you press it (elasticity is back).

Month 4-6: Maximum results achieved. This is the full potential of consistent peptide use. Eye area looks years younger. Some fine lines are 40-60% less visible. Dark circles significantly improved.

Beyond 6 months: Results continue to build. Peptides are cumulative - the longer you use them, the more collagen you have. Someone using this for 2 years will have better results than someone using it for 6 months.

Why it takes this long: Collagen production is SLOW. Your body doesn't make collagen overnight. It's a biological process that takes months. Anyone promising instant peptide results is lying.

Important: You must use this twice daily, every single day to see these results. Skip days = slower results or no results.

You need 90 days minimum. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying about how peptides work.

Here's the biology:

Peptides work by signaling your fibroblasts (collagen-producing cells) to make new collagen. Your body produces collagen slowly through a complex biological process:

1. Peptides signal fibroblasts to activate
2. Fibroblasts begin producing procollagen (collagen precursor)
3. Procollagen is processed and assembled into collagen fibers
4. Collagen fibers are deposited in your dermal matrix
5. Over time, this new collagen accumulates enough to create visible structural change

This process takes 8-12 weeks from start to visible result. That's just biology. You can't speed it up.

What you might see in 30 days:

• Better hydration (nice, but not peptide results)
• Slight improvement in puffiness (from moisture, not collagen)
• Maybe early subtle changes in fine lines (if you're lucky and consistent)

What you'll definitely see in 90 days:

• Measurably shallower fine lines
• Noticeably firmer, more elastic skin
• Visible improvement in dark circles
• Smoother crepey texture
• People commenting that you look well-rested

This is why we offer a 90-day guarantee, not 30 days. We're being honest about peptide timelines. A 30-day guarantee would be dishonest - we'd be setting you up to quit before peptides have a chance to work.

If you're not willing to commit to 90 days of twice-daily use: Save your money. Buy a $20 silicone-based primer that smooths instantly but does nothing long-term.

If you want to actually rebuild collagen: Commit to 90 days. The results are worth it.

First, let's define "dramatic."

Realistic expectations after 12 weeks of twice-daily use:

• Fine lines 30-50% less visible (not 100% gone)
• Dark circles 40-60% lighter (not completely erased)
• Crepey texture significantly smoother (not baby-skin smooth)
• Skin noticeably firmer (not 25-year-old tight)

You're not going to look 20 again. You're going to look like the best version of your current age with healthier, younger-looking eyes.

If you're comparing yourself to filtered Instagram photos: You'll be disappointed. Those aren't real. This is.

That said, if you genuinely see ZERO improvement after 90 days:First, ask yourself honestly:

• Did you use it twice daily, every single day? (Sporadic use = poor results)
• Did you use the right amount? (Rice grain for both eyes - more isn't better)
• Did you apply to the correct area? (Around orbital bone, not on eyelid)
• Did you give it the full 90 days? (Not just 60 days)

If yes to all of the above and you still see nothing: Email us at support@soniaroselli.com for a full refund. We'll honor our 90-day guarantee.

But here's what actually happens 95% of the time:People see subtle improvement at week 6, noticeable improvement at week 10, and by week 12 they're worried about running out because they see the difference.The 5% who don't see results usually weren't using it consistently or quit before 90 days.

Not completely, but it will make them significantly less visible.

Realistic expectation: 30-50% improvement in crow's feet depth and visibility after 3-6 months of consistent use.

Why not 100%?

Crow's feet are deep expression lines from years (or decades) of smiling, squinting, and sun exposure. They're etched into your skin through repetitive muscle movement and collagen breakdown over time.

Topical peptides can:

• Make existing lines shallower by rebuilding collagen underneath
• Temporarily relax the muscles creating the lines (Argireline peptide)
• Prevent them from getting deeper
• Soften their appearance significantly

But they can't completely erase deep lines that took 20+ years to form.

What will actually erase crow's feet 90%+: Botox injections. That's the gold standard for expression lines.

But here's why people choose this anyway:

No needles - Apply at home, no appointments, no injections

Cumulative results - The longer you use it, the better it gets. Botox wears off in 3-4 months.

Natural look - You still look like you, just fresher. Botox can freeze your face if overdone.

Safe for sensitive skin - No risk of bruising, swelling, or bad reactions.

Affordable - $67 every 3-4 months = $268/year vs Botox $300-500 every 3 months = $1,200-2,000/year

Many people do both: Botox for maximum crow's feet reduction, peptide eye treatment for collagen building, dark circles, and overall eye area health.

Bottom line: If you want your crow's feet to completely disappear, you need Botox. If you want them 30-50% less visible with healthier, thicker skin around your eyes, this is it.

Yes - this is actually one of the best uses for peptide eye treatment.

Why you have crepey under-eye skin:

Collagen depletion - Your thin under-eye skin has lost structural collagen, making it loose and crepey like tissue paper

Dehydration - Skin with no oil glands dries out constantly, emphasizing the crepey texture

Loss of elasticity - Elastin fibers have broken down, so skin doesn't bounce back

Sun damage - UV exposure over years has damaged collagen and elastin

What this does for crepey skin:

Peptides rebuild collagen - Signal peptides (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Pentapeptide-4) specifically stimulate collagen production. Over 8-12 weeks, your under-eye skin gets thicker and firmer.

Improves elasticity - Matrixyl peptide stimulates hyaluronic acid and elastin production. Your skin starts bouncing back instead of staying wrinkled.

Hydrates and plumps - Hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides hydrate the area so it looks plumper and less crepey immediately (while peptides work on long-term structure).

Protects existing collagen - Enzyme inhibitor peptide blocks collagen breakdown so you keep what you're building.

Timeline for crepey skin improvement:

• Week 1-2: Hydration plumps skin slightly - looks less crepey temporarily
• Week 6-8: Collagen synthesis makes skin noticeably firmer and thicker
• Week 10-12: Crepey texture is significantly smoother - skin looks years younger
• Month 4-6: Maximum improvement - crepey area is much more smooth and elastic

Important: Severely crepey skin from decades of sun damage won't become perfectly smooth. But most people see 50-70% improvement in crepiness after 4-6 months of daily use.

Combine with: Daily SPF going forward. Peptides can rebuild collagen, but sun damage will keep breaking it down if you don't protect.

The Ordinary Caffeine + Peptides:

• Primarily focused on caffeine for depuffing (temporary)
• Contains 1-2 peptides at unknown concentrations
• Very affordable ($7-10)
• Watery serum texture
• Good for mild concerns or tight budgets

This (Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel):

• Contains FOUR different peptides (all four types your skin needs)
• Medical-grade peptide concentrations
• Plus niacinamide for dark circles
• Plus barrier support (ceramides, squalane)
• Japanese gel-cream formulation designed for thin eye skin
• Professional-grade treatment, not maintenance product

The Ordinary is fine for:

• Prevention in your 20s/early 30s
• Very mild dark circles or puffiness
• Maintaining results after you've used something stronger

This is better for:

• Visible aging (fine lines, wrinkles, crepiness)
• Significant dark circles
• Skin that needs actual collagen rebuilding, not just maintenance
• People who tried The Ordinary and saw minimal results

Price difference:

The Ordinary is $7-10. This is $67.

Is it worth the extra $57?

If you have real aging concerns and need actual collagen rebuilding: YES.If you just want mild maintenance and are in your 20s: probably not, The Ordinary is fine.

Most people who tried The Ordinary: Saw minor improvement but nothing dramatic. Then they try this and understand the difference between maintenance-level peptides and treatment-level peptides.

Usually yes - at half the price.

Typical luxury eye creams (La Mer, La Prairie, SK-II):

• Cost $150-300 per tube
• Beautiful packaging
• Luxurious textures
• Brand prestige and marketing

Many have weak active concentrations - Peptides listed at bottom of ingredient list = trace amounts, not treatment levels

Some don't have the right peptides - Wrong types or only one peptide when you need four

Heavy textures - Rich creams that sit on thin eye skin instead of absorbingThis (Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel):

• $67 per tube (half or less than luxury brands)
• Simple, clinical packaging (no paying for fancy jars)
• Four medical-grade peptides at treatment concentrations
• Japanese formulation designed specifically for thin eye skin
• Lightweight gel-cream that actually absorbs

Where luxury eye creams excel: Beautiful experience. Feels like treating yourself. Gorgeous packaging. Smells amazing (if fragranced).

Where this excels: Actually works. Peptides at concentrations that create visible results. Price reflects efficacy, not marketing budget.

The brutal truth about luxury eye creams: You're often paying $200 for a fancy jar, marketing, and department store markup. The actual formulation might not be any better (or might be worse) than this.

Look at ingredient lists: Find luxury eye creams that have the same four peptides this has, at similar concentrations. They're $150-300+.You're getting the same clinical efficacy for $67 because you're not paying for:

• Department store markup
• Expensive ad campaigns
• Luxury packaging
• Celebrity endorsements

If money is no object: Buy luxury eye cream if the experience matters to you.

If you care about results and value: This gives you professional-grade peptides at a fraction of luxury prices.

Different mechanisms, different results. Many people do both.

BOTOX:

What it does: Paralyzes muscles that create expression lines. Prevents the movement that causes crow's feet and forehead lines.

Results: 80-90% reduction in expression lines. Dramatic, visible smoothing.

Timeline: 3-7 days to see full results

Duration: 3-4 months, then you need another treatment

Cost: $300-500 per treatment, 3-4x per year = $1,200-2,000 annually

Pros: Fast, dramatic results for expression lines

Cons: Needles, potential bruising, can freeze your face if overdone, expensive over time, results are temporary

Does NOT address: Dark circles, thin skin, crepey texture, collagen depletion, barrier health

PEPTIDE EYE TREATMENT:

What it does: Rebuilds collagen, thickens thin skin, improves elasticity, reduces inflammation, fades dark circles

Results: 30-50% improvement in wrinkles, plus improvement in skin quality overall

Timeline: 8-12 weeks for visible results

Duration: Cumulative - the longer you use it, the better your results. Results maintain as long as you keep using it.

Cost: $67 per tube every 3-4 months = ~$268 per year

Pros: No needles, improves overall eye area health, cumulative results, natural look, safe for sensitive skin, addresses multiple concerns at once

Cons: Takes 2-3 months to see results, requires daily commitment, won't give you Botox-level expression line reduction

Addresses: Fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles, crepey skin, thin skin, loss of firmness, barrier health

The smart approach many people take:

Botox for deep expression lines (crow's feet, forehead) where you want dramatic reductionPLUS

Peptide eye treatment for overall eye area health - collagen building, dark circles, skin thickness, barrier supportTogether, you get:

• Maximum wrinkle reduction from Botox
• Healthier, thicker, younger-looking skin from peptides
• Better "canvas" for Botox to work on
• Collagen support between Botox treatments

If you have to choose one:

Choose Botox if: You only care about deep expression lines and want fast, dramatic results

Choose peptides if: You want overall eye area improvement (not just lines), prefer topical over injections, have dark circles or thin skin, or have sensitive skin that might react to injections

Honestly: For most people in their 40s-50s+, Botox + peptides is the ultimate combo. But if budget only allows one, peptides give you broader anti-aging benefits beyond just line reduction.

Here's every ingredient and what it does (no BS, no jargon):

THE FOUR PEPTIDES (Why This Exists):

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 - Relaxes muscle contractions causing crow's feet

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 - Signals your skin to make structural collagen

Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 - Stimulates collagen + elastin + hyaluronic acid

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 - Blocks enzymes that break down collagen

SUPPORTING ACTIVES:

Niacinamide - Brightens dark circles, strengthens barrier, reduces inflammation

Squalane - Lightweight hydration, mimics your natural oils

Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil - Japanese botanical, antioxidant-rich, non-irritating

Glucosyl Ceramide - Repairs and strengthens thin eye barrier

Tocopherol (Vitamin E) - Antioxidant protection

THE BASE (Why It Absorbs and Works Under Makeup):

Cyclopentasiloxane + Dimethicone - Lightweight silicones that give slip without heaviness. Allow peptides to absorb through thin eye skin without pulling or tugging. Why this doesn't pill under concealer.

Glycerin + Butylene Glycol - Humectants that pull water into skin for hydration

Water - Solvent base

STABILIZERS & TEXTURE:PEGs (various) - Help blend oil and water portions so formula stays stable

Carbomer - Gentle thickener

Polysorbate 20 - Emulsifier

PRESERVATIVES:Phenoxyethanol - Prevents bacterial growth (necessary for eye products)

Ethylhexylglycerin - Preservative booster

WHAT'S NOT IN IT:

❌ Fragrance or essential oils

❌ Harsh acids

❌ Alcohol

❌ Parabens

❌ Sulfates

❌ Anything that typically irritates sensitive eyes

Yes - this is literally designed for sensitive skin.

Sensitive skin-safe because:

Fragrance-free - No synthetic fragrance or essential oils (major irritants)

Gentle peptides - Work through signaling, not inflammation or irritation

Barrier-supporting - Contains ceramides and squalane that strengthen compromised barriers

No harsh actives - No strong acids, no alcohol, no irritating botanicals

Ophthalmologist-tested - Tested specifically on sensitive eyes

Created by someone with sensitive skin - Sonia has rosacea and wouldn't create something that triggers reactive skin

Hundreds of people with very sensitive skin use this twice daily with zero issues.

That said: Everyone's sensitivity is different. Even the gentlest product can cause a reaction in someone with specific allergies.

How to test if you're nervous:

1. Apply small amount to inner arm (test for allergy)
2. Wait 24 hours
3. If no reaction, apply to small area near eye (outer corner)
4. Wait 24-48 hours
5. If no reaction, use as directed

If you do react: Stop immediately and email for refund within 30 days. But this is rare - the formula is about as gentle as peptide treatment gets.

Peptides are generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding (they don't penetrate deeply enough to reach bloodstream in significant amounts).

That said: Every pregnancy is different, and every doctor has different recommendations.

Best practice: Show this ingredient list to your OB/GYN and get their okay before using.

The active ingredients (peptides, niacinamide, ceramides, squalane) are topical and considered low-risk. But your doctor should make the final call based on your specific situation.

Many pregnant/breastfeeding customers use this with their doctor's approval, especially if they can't use retinol during pregnancy and need an alternative for eye area aging.

Because eye area skin is different and requires different formulation.

Facial skin: Can absorb water-based or oil-based products easily. Has oil glands to help products spread. Thicker and more resilient.

Eye skin: 10x thinner. No oil glands. Extremely delicate. Heavy products migrate into eyes and cause blurring/irritation.

Why silicones work for eye area:

Lightweight slip - Silicones allow you to apply peptides to thin eye skin without pulling, tugging, or dragging (which damages fragile skin)

Fast absorption - Peptides penetrate quickly through silicone base, then silicones evaporate

Won't migrate into eyes - Silicone base stays where you apply it, doesn't travel into eyes like heavy oils would

Makeup compatibility - For people who wear concealer, silicones prevent pilling and create smooth base

Compliance matters - If a product pills under makeup or feels heavy, people stop using it. Peptides only work if you actually use them daily. Silicone ensures you'll keep using it.

Think of it like this: Peptides are the active ingredients doing the work. Silicones are the delivery vehicle getting them into your skin efficiently.

Different product, different requirements. Eye area needs different formulation than face. This is formulated correctly for the skin it's treating.

Let's break down the math:What you get:

• 15g tube
• 90-120 day supply (with correct usage)
• Four medical-grade peptides at treatment concentrations
• Made in Japan with pharmaceutical manufacturing standards

Cost per day: $0.56-$0.74

Cost per year: ~$268 (buying 4 tubes)

Compare to alternatives:

Botox around eyes: $300-500 per treatment, every 3-4 months = $1,200-2,000/year

Luxury eye creams: $150-300 per tube = $600-1,200/year

Professional eye treatments: $80-150 per session, monthly = $960-1,800/year

This: $268/year for medical-grade peptides at home

What makes it worth $67:

Four peptides - Not just one. All four types your skin needs for comprehensive anti-aging.

Medical-grade concentrations - Not trace amounts. Actual treatment-level peptides that create visible results.

Japanese manufacturing - Pharmaceutical-grade quality control. Your peptides are stable and active, not degraded.

It actually works - 91% of people see visible improvement after 12 weeks. That's clinical efficacy, not marketing hype.

Cumulative results - Unlike Botox that wears off, peptides build collagen that lasts as long as you maintain it.

Is it worth it if:

You use it twice daily for 90+ days: ABSOLUTELY YES. You're getting visible anti-aging results for ~$0.70/day.

You use it sporadically: NO. You're wasting money. Peptides only work with consistent daily use.

You quit after 30 days: NO. You're not giving peptides time to work.

You have realistic expectations: YES. You understand this gives you 30-50% improvement over months, not miracle overnight results.

Bottom line: This is expensive for an eye cream but cheap for medical-grade anti-aging treatment. If you commit to using it properly, it's worth every penny.

Start with one tube.

Here's why:

First tube (90 days): See how your skin responds. Make sure you'll actually use it twice daily. Confirm you see the results you want.

After first tube: If you love it (most people do), switch to Subscribe & Save for 5% off and automatic delivery.

Why we recommend this approach:Not everyone commits - Some people think they'll use it twice daily, then don't. Better to find out with one tube than be stuck with a subscription.

Skin reactions (rare but possible) - If you're the 5% who has a reaction, better to have one tube you can return than a subscription.

Results vary - Most people see great results, but a few see minimal improvement (usually because they're not using it consistently enough). Find out which group you're in before subscribing.

After 90 days, if you love it: Switch to Subscribe & Save. You get:

• 5% discount ($63.65 instead of $67)
• Automatic delivery every 3 or 4 months
• Never run out (crucial because peptide results disappear if you stop using them)
• Can skip, pause, or cancel anytime

Most people's journey:

1. Buy one tube (skeptical but hopeful)
2. Use it religiously for 90 days
3. See visible improvement in weeks 8-12
4. Panic when tube is almost empty
5. Subscribe so they never run out again

Start with one. Subscribe when you know you need it in your life.
