Pro-Collagen Peptide Firming Eye Serum

Why did Paula’s Choice create another eye treatment?

Based on the increase in fatigue, stress, burnout and prolonged digital device usage, research shows that the eye area is one of the first to show signs of tiredness. That's why we developed an eye treatment that directly counters the impacts of our modern lifestyle. Consumers' top eye concerns are under-eye bags, fine lines and wrinkles. We took it a step further by formulating our eye serum with 4 specialised peptides to target the entire eye area: lids, outer eye and under-eyes. Additionally, we combined it with an application tool to optimise usage and benefits.

What’s the difference between the Pro-Collagen Peptide Firming Eye Serum and other Paula’s Choice eye treatments?

Although all our eye-area products contain a variety of anti-ageing ingredients that target various concerns people have for the skin around their eyes, this eye serum is our first formulated to specifically depuff, firm and tighten. It is our most advanced peptide-focused treatment that targets key factors and pathways leading to undesirable changes around the eye, including fatigue-related puffiness that can occur at any age.

Who is the Pro-Collagen Peptide Firming Eye Serum ideal for?

This eye serum is ideal for anyone seeking a 360° treatment that targets upper eyelids (loss of firmness), outer eyes (lines & crow's feet) and under-eye (puffiness).

How well does this formula depuff stubborn eye bags?

The cooling metal tip can help alleviate under-eye puffiness related to fluid retention. This can be achieved by gently massaging the product under the eye in a back-and-forth rocker motion, helping to break up and prevent pooling of fluid in this area. More stubborn under-eye puffiness may be caused by a variety of factors including ageing, lack of sleep, allergies, genetics and more. Depending on what is causing bags under the eyes, there are a variety of treatment options to consider. Learn more from our article: how to get rid of bags under eyes?

Does this product help with dark circles?

For dark circles, we recommend the C5 Super Boost Eye Cream, which is a concentrated vitamin C eye cream that precisely targets common under-eye concerns with a combination of 5% vitamin C, peptides, hyaluronic acid and a key ginger extract.

Can I use this serum all around the eye area?

Yes, this product is a comprehensive treatment for the entire eye area, including the eye lids. The four targeted peptides in the formula help to depuff under-eyes, visibly lift tired eye lids and soften the appearance of fine lines and crow’s feet.

Is the Pro-Collagen Peptide Firming Eye Serum suitable for sensitive or redness-prone skin?

Yes, because it does not contain any bio-active ingredients known to be a risk for triggering sensitivity or reactivity. For those who are highly sensitive, we always recommend patch testing in a small area first. Note that if sensitivity and redness are among your primary concerns, we recommend our CALM collection, which pairs well with other formulas including the Pro-Collagen Peptide Firming Eye Serum.

Does the Pro-Collagen Peptide Firming Eye Serum work well under make-up?

Yes, because it has a light, cushiony gel cream texture that absorbs quickly and sits nicely under other skincare products and make-up without pilling, leaving no film or residue behind.

Can I use this product while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Yes, you can safely use this eye serum if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. If you’re uncertain about trying out a new formula or a new combination of ingredients, check with your GP and follow their advice.

Is the formula gluten-free, vegan or silicone-free?

The Pro-Collagen Peptide Firming Eye Serum is paraben-free, gluten-free and vegan. This product does contain dimethicone (a skin protectant) so it is not considered silicone-free.

What is the applicator made of?

The metal tip is made from zamac, an alloy mainly composed of zinc, aluminum, magnesium and copper, and then plated with cobalt. These materials typically don't contain nickel. Consult your GP if you have concerns about skin allergies.

Can I layer the Pro-Collagen Peptide Firming Eye Serum with other Paula’s Choice Pro-Collagen products like the booster or moisturiser?

Yes, you can layer this eye serum with other Paula’s Choice Pro-Collagen products to enhance your overall results.
