This Lancôme Eye Serum Is The Only One You Need To Lift & Smooth Fine Lines

The stats don’t lie.

There are a lot of opinions about eye creams and serums out there, but the fact that skin under your eyes is, by some estimates, ten times thinner than skin elsewhere makes it one of the first places you’ll see fine lines, puffiness or a loss of collagen. After Lancôme’s epic success with their Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum and H.P.N. 300-Peptide Cream, the brand launched Rénergie Triple Serum Eye. It’s proof that eye-specific treatments work by smoothing out the appearance of wrinkles while plumping skin with a potent blend of three active ingredient blends.

The serum was tested on a wide variety of skin types—including sensitive skin—to absorb easily. So, yes, you can comfortably layer makeup on top of the lightweight serum without worrying about any pilling or creases. It’s even been tested to be safe for use on the upper lid area and temples, so you can lift and contour that area, too. The serum contains a triad of ingredient blends that make this one of our favourite eye treatments. Learn more, below.

It hydrates skin deeply.

The skin under the eyes has a weaker barrier function than the rest of the face, which means it loses moisture easily. Moisture in the skin already decreases as we age, so it’s important to focus on hydrating this area. This serum contains hyaluronic acid to intensely hydrate skin, giving it a more supple feel and appearance. It also contains SNK-peptide. Never heard of it? Yah, us either. It’s basically a blend of peptides that helps to strengthen the skin, so it’ll help to slow down the loss of moisture while smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

It helps brighten skin.

The serum contains a unique derivative of vitamin C that brightens the skin while also plumping it with collagen, giving it an overall more healthy appearance. In fact, Lancôme did a study in which people saw a 15% reduction in undereye puffiness. Vitamin C is also going to help protect cells from the effects of free radicals. But the serum also contains the superstar ingredient niacinamide, which helps to further brighten skin by treating uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation.

It can smooth fine lines.

We share a lot of expressions using our eyes–everytime we smile or squint a groove develops under our eyes. Over time, it’s natural for that to cause some creasing. Starting at the age of 30, some wrinkles and lines start to become more prominent. There’s good news, though. In one Lancôme study, this serum helped reduce the appearance of fine lines by 31%, and smoothed out crow’s feet by 12%. Thanks to this serum’s inclusion of vitamin F, that’s no surprise: It helps to smooth the appearance of fine lines while also soothing inflammation and puffiness.

That all may be reason enough to have this do-it-all eye serum swapped in for our daily routine, stat.
