Most eye creams hydrate. This one goes further — pairing tranexamic acid with glutathione to visibly reduce pigmentation, puffiness, and the tell-tale shadow that no amount of concealer fully covers.
Every ingredient earns its place in this 30g jar.
Generic eye creams stop at hydration. This formula pairs two clinically recognised brightening actives — tranexamic acid and glutathione — in a texture that works morning and night without greasiness or pilling.
Based on user experience surveys conducted with regular product users.
Every morning and evening, after your toner and serum, gently pat a rice-grain-sized amount around the orbital bone using your ring finger — the lightest pressure keeps the delicate skin intact. Follow with SPF in the morning to protect the brightening work happening underneath.
Building confidence with clear answers to your concerns.
Twice daily — morning and evening — gives the best results. Apply it after your serum and before your moisturiser or SPF. Consistency over four to eight weeks is where the real brightening shift happens.
Yes. The formula is designed with the thin, reactive skin of the eye area in mind. Tranexamic acid is gentler on sensitive skin than alternatives like hydroquinone, and glutathione doesn't cause the irritation retinol can. If your skin is especially reactive, patch test on your inner arm first.
No — the silky, fast-absorbing texture sinks in rather than sitting on the surface. Give it 60 seconds to fully absorb before layering concealer on top and you won't have any pilling issues.
Most users notice the skin feeling more hydrated and plump within the first week. Visible lightening of dark circles typically becomes apparent after four to six weeks of twice-daily use — pigmentation takes time to shift, so stick with it.
Tranexamic acid interrupts the signal that triggers melanin production, which means it addresses pigmented dark circles (the brownish, discoloured kind) at the source rather than just temporarily concealing them. It's one of the more studied brightening actives available in skincare right now.
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that mops up free radicals — those reactive molecules that accelerate dullness and uneven skin tone. It also has brightening properties of its own, so paired with tranexamic acid the two actives reinforce each other rather than duplicating effort.
It's best not to layer the two in the same application. Instead, use this Mary & May cream in the morning and your retinol eye cream at night, or alternate nights if your skin is sensitive. Both can live in your routine — just not on top of each other.
The humectants in the formula help reduce the dehydrated, sunken look that makes under-eye areas appear puffy and shadowed. For acute morning puffiness caused by fluid retention, keep the jar in the fridge — the cool temperature on application gives an immediate de-puffing effect.
Real feedback from real customers.
My dark circles have genuinely shifted after about five weeks of using this morning and night. I have deeper-toned skin and I was sceptical that a brightening eye cream would do much, but the discolouration under my right eye is noticeably lighter. Impressed.
The texture is what got me first — it's that perfect in-between of rich and lightweight. Absorbs in under a minute and doesn't shift my concealer at all. 🙌
I've been using this for just over a month and the hollowness under my eyes looks less pronounced — I think the hydration is doing a lot of the heavy lifting there. Still waiting on more dramatic brightening but the texture alone makes it worth continuing.
Sorted my under-eye situation out completely. The puffiness I'd dealt with for years is so much better, and the cream smells subtly fresh without being perfume-heavy — a bonus for my sensitive nose.
I keep telling my colleagues about this. My fine lines around the corners of my eyes look softer and my under-eye area looks less tired even on long work days. Really well-formulated product.
Good eye cream — my skin drinks it up and I wake up with plumper-looking under-eyes. I'd love a slightly bigger jar for the price, but the results justify it.
The glutathione and tranexamic acid combo is exactly what my hyperpigmented under-eyes needed. Week six and the brown tones have faded noticeably. Definitely a permanent fixture in my skincare routine.
Bought this after seeing it recommended for darker skin tones specifically and it hasn't disappointed. Even coverage under my eyes, less shadow, and zero irritation — which is rare for my reactive skin.
Lovely, creamy consistency that doesn't drag the skin when you apply it. I use my ring finger and just tap it in gently. The brightening effect is gradual but real — I can see the difference in photos from a month ago.
This replaced an eye cream three times the price for me. The area under my eyes looks more even in tone and my crow's feet have softened — I didn't even expect that part, it's a bonus.
Geen irritasie nie, geen vetsigheid nie — net 'n rustige, goeie oogroom. The dark circles I inherited from my mum have lightened visibly after consistent use. Really happy with it.
The first thing my mum said when she saw me was that I looked well-rested. I hadn't slept any better — it's just this cream making the under-eye area look so much less hollow and dark.
I refrigerate mine and the cool tap-in every morning is such a nice way to start the day. The puffiness is gone by the time I do my make-up and the brightening results after six weeks are real — not subtle, actually real.
