Eye Serums are a relatively new category in the skincare world. Whether you choose to layer these under your favorite eye cream, or prefer the lightweight texture of a serum to a cream, and use them solo, these skincare active packed eye serums are sure to step up your skincare game.
I love eye serums because during the day I have a hard time finding eye creams that cooperate with my concealer and foundation. I prefer to use only an eye serum in the morning and then in the evening I will use an eye serum layered under my eye cream for a double whammy of effectiveness.
I also love that every one of these eye serums is packaged in opaque and airtight packaging to protect the beneficial ingredients inside.

I love how quickly my skin drinks up this serum for an instantly fresh look. I live for the purple and gold Tatcha packaging and the heavenly Tatcha scents.
