7% Vitamin C Eye Gel to Brighten Dark Circles + De-Puff
Phyto-C Eye Return Gel is a lightweight eye gel formulated for the delicate under-eye area to help minimize the look of puffiness and dark circles. Powered by 7% L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), this formula is designed to visibly brighten and support a more refreshed-looking eye contour. Hyaluronic acid helps attract and hold moisture for smoother-looking skin, while zinc sulfate helps keep the under-eye area feeling calm and balanced. The gel texture absorbs quickly, leaving a smooth, refreshed finish without residue.
Ideal for daily use, Eye Return Gel is made for all skin types and is especially well-suited for younger skin looking to maintain hydration and brightness. Use it morning and/or night to keep the eye area looking rested, vibrant, and more even-toned over time. Apply before eye cream or moisturizer as part of your eye routine, and always avoid direct contact with the eyes.
- Who it’s best for: all skin types; especially younger skin seeking hydration + brightness around the eyes
