Under-eye peptide technology
Your under-eyes asked for backup.We brought 15% peptides.
Illuminate V2 is built for eyes that look tired before you feel tired. A 15% total peptide system sits beside caffeine, vitamin C, alpha-arbutin, vitamin K support and comfort ingredients in a lightweight serum made for the under-eye area.
Not a basic eye gel
The under-eye area is fussy.The formula cannot be lazy.
Illuminate V2 stacks peptide support, fresh-eye support, tone support, hydration and comfort so the story feels complete - not token.
15% total peptide system
The total peptide number is the proof point. It gives the formula more credibility than a trace-peptide eye gel.
Caffeine + Dipeptide-2
Supports a fresher, more awake-looking under-eye when the area looks heavy or tired.
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.
Peptides, caffeine, tone support, hydration and comfort in one lightweight formula.
Caffeine is useful, but it is not the whole under-eye story on its own.
Illuminate is designed to sit lightly under moisturiser, SPF and makeup.
Formula support stack
Under-eyes are dramatic.This formula came prepared.
We grouped the formula into jobs customers can understand: peptide support, fresher-looking eyes, tone support and daily comfort.
15% total peptides support smoother-looking under-eyes.
The number is the proof point. It gives the formula more credibility than a trace-peptide eye gel.
Caffeine and Dipeptide-2 help eyes look less heavy.
A fresher-looking story for the mornings when under-eyes look puffy, tired or slow to wake up.
Vitamin C, alpha-arbutin and niacinamide support glow.
This is the brighter-looking lane for under-eyes that look dull, shadowed or less even.
HA, panthenol, bisabolol and madecassoside keep it wearable.
The eye area is delicate, so the supporting base matters as much as the active story.
Caffeine + Dipeptide-2
For under-eyes that look fresher, lighter and less tired.
Vitamin C + Alpha-Arbutin
Tone-support ingredients for a brighter-looking finish.
Vitamin K support
Adds a more targeted under-eye story without overclaiming.
HA + comfort stack
Hydration and comfort support for a smooth-feeling under-eye.
How to use it
Tiny amount.Soft little taps.
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 crescentRice-grain rule. One small amount is enough for both eyes. More product does not make the area look better faster.
Start tiny.
Use a rice-grain amount for both eyes. This is a concentrated eye serum, so more is not the flex.
Follow the crescent.
Tap from the inner under-eye outward around the orbital bone. Keep it soft and avoid dragging.
Let it settle.
Give the serum a moment before moisturiser so the under-eye stays lightweight, not slippery.
Seal gently.
Follow with moisturiser. Morning routine? Finish with SPF and keep the area makeup-friendly.

Overall formula read
This is a very strong dark-circle and puffiness-focused eye serum, especially with the confirmed 15% total peptide system. Based on the INCI, the peptide architecture and confirmed total peptide load, the saved formula review scores it 9.5/10. Potentially 9.7/10 if final texture, eye-area tolerance, pH, stability, packaging and long-term testing are all locked in.
Why it scores so high
This is not just a basic brightening eye serum. It is a targeted under-eye performance formula built around a 15% total peptide system, supported by caffeine, niacinamide, vitamin C, alpha-arbutin, vitamin K support, ferulic acid, antioxidants, hydration and calming ingredients.
Peptide architecture
The formula uses Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Dipeptide-2. The strongest story is the 15% total peptide system, which gives the formula a premium no-fairy-dusting position for under-eyes that look tired, puffy or uneven.
Puffiness-looking support
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5, Dipeptide-2 and caffeine are highly relevant to a fresh-eye serum story. The cosmetic positioning is about helping under-eyes look less puffy, less heavy and more awake, not making medical-style claims.
Brightening and tone support
3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Alpha-Arbutin, Niacinamide, Phytonadione, Ferulic Acid, Tocopherol and Ubiquinone give the formula a strong glow, antioxidant and more even-looking under-eye tone story.
Hydration and comfort
Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Panthenol, Betaine, Bisabolol, Allantoin and Madecassoside help make the formula feel more complete and eye-area friendly. This matters because a strong active eye serum still needs to feel comfortable.
Texture expectation
Based on the INCI, this should feel like a lightweight brightening eye serum: fresh, hydrating, smoothing, quick absorbing, non-heavy and suitable under moisturiser, SPF and makeup.

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.
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.
