Not a basic eye gel

The under-eye area is fussy.The formula cannot be lazy.

Most eye products lean on one familiar ingredient.

Illuminate V2 stacks peptide support, fresh-eye support, tone support, hydration and comfort so the story feels complete - not token.

The total peptide number is the proof point. It gives the formula more credibility than a trace-peptide eye gel.

03 Bright look

Vitamin C + alpha-arbutin

A glow-support stack for under-eyes that look dull, shadowed or uneven.

HA + comfort ingredients

Hydration and comfort support help the eye area feel smooth, cushioned and easy to layer.

Helloskin High-peptide under-eye serum with a full support system.

Peptides, caffeine, tone support, hydration and comfort in one lightweight formula.

Basic caffeine gels Usually one familiar ingredient.

Caffeine is useful, but it is not the whole under-eye story on its own.

Heavy eye creams Can feel rich, but not always wearable.

Illuminate is designed to sit lightly under moisturiser, SPF and makeup.

Formula support stack

Under-eyes are dramatic.This formula came prepared.

Not just a caffeine eye gel. A full under-eye system.

We grouped the formula into jobs customers can understand: peptide support, fresher-looking eyes, tone support and daily comfort.

How to use it

Tiny amount.Soft little taps.

The routine is small on purpose.

This is an eye serum, not a face serum. Use a tiny amount, tap gently around the under-eye crescent, then let it settle before moisturiser.

Tap the crescent, not the waterline.

Rice-grain amount Under-eye crescent

Rice-grain rule. One small amount is enough for both eyes. More product does not make the area look better faster.

01

Start tiny.

Use a rice-grain amount for both eyes. This is a concentrated eye serum, so more is not the flex.

02

Follow the crescent.

Tap from the inner under-eye outward around the orbital bone. Keep it soft and avoid dragging.

03

Let it settle.

Give the serum a moment before moisturiser so the under-eye stays lightweight, not slippery.

04

Seal gently.

Follow with moisturiser. Morning routine? Finish with SPF and keep the area makeup-friendly.

Best timeUse morning, night or both if your eye area tolerates it well.
PairingApply before heavier creams so the serum sits closest to skin.
Makeup noteLet it settle first so concealer sits smoother over the top.
Care noteAvoid direct contact with eyes and do not apply on irritated skin.

Ingredient guide

Under-eye formulas, made less confusing.

A plain-English guide to the 15% peptide eye system, the fresh-eye support stack and how Illuminate V2 fits into a real routine.

Why 15% total peptides matters around the eyes

The eye area is where tiny formula differences feel obvious. Illuminate V2 is built around a 15% total peptide system rather than one token peptide callout. The named peptide system includes Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Dipeptide-2, giving the formula a more complete story for under-eyes that look tired, puffy or less smooth.

Dark-circle appearance needs more than one angle

Visible dark circles can come from shadows, uneven-looking tone, tired-looking skin, puffiness and dryness. That is why the formula pairs peptides with caffeine, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, alpha-arbutin, niacinamide, phytonadione and antioxidant support instead of relying on a single brightening ingredient.

Built to feel light, not greasy

Eye serums need to work in real routines: under makeup, under SPF and close to a delicate area. Illuminate V2 uses humectants, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, betaine, bisabolol, allantoin and madecassoside so the product can feel hydrating and smoothing without behaving like a heavy eye cream.

How to think about results

This is cosmetic skincare, so the goal is appearance: brighter-looking under-eyes, a fresher-looking eye area, smoother-looking texture and a more hydrated finish. For the best experience, use a tiny amount consistently and avoid dragging the skin.

Questions

Eye serum, explained simply.

Plain-English answers for a strong eye-area active serum.

15% peptide system + cosmetic-safe under-eye support.
What is Illuminate V2 Eye Serum made for?

Illuminate V2 is made for under-eyes that look dark, puffy, tired or uneven. The formula focuses on cosmetic appearance: brighter-looking under-eyes, a fresher-looking eye area, smoother-looking texture and lightweight hydration.

What makes the 15% peptide system special?

The 15% total peptide system gives the product a stronger formula story than a basic caffeine eye gel. It combines eye-area peptides, Matrixyl-style support peptides and fresh-eye peptide support for a more complete under-eye routine.

Can I use it morning and night?

Yes. Start once daily if your eye area is sensitive, then build to morning and night if comfortable. In the morning, apply before moisturiser and SPF. Use a tiny amount and tap gently around the orbital bone.

Is this an eye cream or an eye serum?

It is a lightweight eye serum. It is designed to sit under moisturiser, SPF or makeup rather than replacing a rich eye cream if you prefer extra cushioning.

What should I expect for visible dark circles?

Visible dark circles can be influenced by skin tone, shadows, sleep, hydration, facial structure and genetics. Illuminate V2 is positioned to support brighter-looking, fresher-looking under-eyes and a more even-looking eye-area tone.

Can I use it with retinol or vitamin C?

Yes, but keep the eye area comfortable. If you use a retinol eye product, alternate nights at first. Illuminate V2 already contains a vitamin C derivative, so you do not need to layer multiple active eye products unless your skin is used to it.
