BARRIER EYE CREAM
A periorbital eye cream for the delicate under-eye area. Escin from horse chestnut supports the look of a comforted, less puffy under-eye, while a natural ceramide complex and multi-weight hyaluronic acid condition and hydrate thinner periorbital skin.
Backed by published research · references belowFormulated for Dry Skin and Sensitive Skin.
- Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline, a collagen amino acid ester, is a lipophilic carrier for hydroxyproline that conditions the appearance of thinner periorbital skin.
- Escin from Horse Chestnut Seed Extract, a venotonic botanical saponin, supports the appearance of a comforted, less puffy under-eye area1.
- Glycosphingolipids and Glycolipids, a Natural Ceramide Complex, are barrier lipids that support the look of a supple, conditioned barrier.
Hero mechanism: Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline, a collagen amino acid ester, is a lipophilic carrier that delivers hydroxyproline across the skin surface. Full mechanism and citations under Details and references.

Escin, a triterpene saponin from Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) seed, is documented for venotonic and anti-edematous properties1 and for the hyaluronidase-inhibition mechanism class among triterpene saponins2. Multi-Weight Hyaluronic Acid pairs surface and stratum-corneum-penetrating molecular weights for periorbital humectant support3. The Natural Ceramide Complex of Glycosphingolipids and Glycolipids provides barrier lipid support documented in cosmetic dermatology literature, and Black Tea Leaf Extract contributes theaflavin and polyphenol antioxidant support.

A RITUAL, CONSIDERED
Each formula stands on its own and belongs to the whole. Layered with intention, morning and night, the routine becomes unmistakably yours.
A twenty four hour rhythm
THE SKIN KEEPS TIME
Skin is not the same at midnight as it is at nine in the morning. Across a single day its temperature, its acidity and the moisture it loses to the air each move on a rhythm of their own. Morning and night are not two routines. They are one, kept in time.
