For dark circles, uneven tone, and dull eyes.

A targeted brightening eye cream from Mary & May — the Korean clean-beauty brand built on the motto "less is more," where every product name tells you exactly what's inside. This one delivers two of the most clinically-recognised brightening actives in skincare, at meaningful concentrations: 1,000ppm of tranexamic acid (the dermatologist favourite for stubborn pigmentation, including melasma) paired with 1,000ppm of glutathione (the master antioxidant that blocks melanin production). Around them, niacinamide and vitamin C (ascorbic acid) work on tone clarity from two additional pathways — together, that's four brightening actives in a single eye cream, all working synergistically.

The texture is the part that earns its versatility. It's a rich, creamy formula that absorbs without heaviness, so it works equally well on the eye area, around the mouth, or anywhere on the face that needs brightening attention. Sea buckthorn oil delivers a generous dose of vitamins, panthenol soothes, and hyaluronic acid hydrates. EWG green-grade ingredients only, dermatologically tested, free from 16 harmful ingredients (parabens, artificial fragrance, mineral oils, sulfates, and 12 more). Packaging is made from recycled paper and soybean oil ink, in line with Mary & May's clean-beauty positioning.

Best For: Dark circles, hyperpigmentation, post-acne marks, freckles, melasma, or any area of dullness around the eyes — also a great spot-treatment for stubborn pigmentation anywhere on the face, and gentle enough for clean-beauty seekers.

Key Ingredients

Tranexamic Acid (1,000ppm) A clinically-recognised brightening active that targets stubborn pigmentation. Particularly effective on hormonal melasma, sun-induced dark spots, and persistent under-eye darkening. Glutathione (1,000ppm) The master antioxidant that blocks melanin production at the source. Works synergistically with tranexamic acid for layered brightening. Niacinamide A clinically-relevant concentration that brightens, evens tone, and disrupts pigment transfer. Adds another brightening pathway alongside the hero duo. Ascorbic Acid (Pure Vitamin C) Brightens, supports collagen production, and works as an antioxidant. The fourth brightening active in the formula. Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae Rhamnoides) Fruit Oil and Panthenol A nourishing-and-soothing pair. Sea buckthorn delivers vitamins and antioxidants, panthenol keeps the eye area calm and hydrated.

How to Use

After serum, squeeze a small amount onto your ring finger (the lightest pressure of any finger). Gently tap around the eye area, focusing on the orbital bone rather than the mobile eyelid. Pat in until absorbed. Use morning and evening. Can also be used as a spot treatment on darker patches anywhere on the face — laugh lines, around the mouth, or persistent pigmentation. Tip: Use it as a brightening spot treatment, not just an eye cream. The 1,000ppm dose of both tranexamic acid and glutathione is genuinely high enough to work on facial pigmentation, so apply a small amount to any dark spot, melasma patch, or post-acne mark for targeted care. The rich texture also makes it ideal for night-time application on stubborn pigmentation.
