Eyecare serums are one of the most effective ways to target dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines, helping you achieve brighter, younger-looking eyes. If you’ve ever wondered how to apply eye serum correctly, this guide will walk you through each step to get maximum results. Whether you’re new to skincare or refining your daily routine, you’ll learn how to make the most of your eye serum.
What Does an Eye Serum Do and How Does It Work?
Eye serums are lightweight formulas designed to hydrate, plump, and brighten the delicate skin around your eyes. They usually contain powerful ingredients such as:
- Hyaluronic acid and glycerin – to retain moisture and smooth fine lines
- Aloe vera – to soothe and calm puffiness
- Peptides – to support collagen production and firm the skin
Because of their lighter texture, serums absorb quickly and can be applied before an eye cream for maximum benefits.
Step 1: Start With Clean Skin
The first step in applying eye serum is to ensure your face is clean. Any makeup, oil, or dirt left behind can prevent your serum from fully absorbing. Use a gentle cleanser that is safe around the eyes.
Our Alpha-Paradise Cleansing Dew is enriched with Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin E, which help fortify the skin barrier while removing impurities. It’s lightweight, non-irritating, and safe for use over the delicate eye area to remove mascara.
Step 2: Apply Your Eye Serum Correctly
Dispense half to one full pump of serum onto your fingertips (your ring fingers are best since they apply the least pressure). Gently press and tap the serum around your eyes, moving under the eyes and along the brow bone. Avoid pulling or tugging at the skin.
The Poly-Peptides Focus Contour HA Eye Serum combines peptides Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 to boost collagen production, along with sodium hyaluronate for long-lasting hydration. This blend helps smooth fine lines and visibly plump the skin.
Step 3: Follow With Skincare
Eye serums work best when paired with an eye cream to lock in hydration. After applying your serum, follow up with a nourishing eye cream and your moisturiser.
The Zinc & Protein A+ Clarifying Comfort Cream contains zinc oxide and tea tree oil to calm irritation, repair the skin barrier, and fight acne-causing bacteria—perfect for keeping your routine simple yet effective.
Step 4: Stay Consistent
Consistency is key for seeing results. Apply your eye serum twice daily—morning and night—as part of your skincare routine. Over time, this habit can visibly reduce puffiness, soften fine lines, and brighten the under-eye area, leaving your skin smoother and more youthful-looking.
Frequently Asked Questions About Eye Serums
1. Can you use an eye serum every day?
Yes, our eye serums are formulated for daily use and work best when applied morning and night for continuous hydration and repair.
2. Do you put eye serum on before or after moisturiser?
Always apply your eye serum before eye cream and moisturiser so the lightweight formula can absorb fully.
3. What’s the difference between eye serum and eye cream?
Eye serums are lightweight and packed with concentrated active ingredients, while eye creams are richer and help lock in moisture. For best results, use both.
4. How long does it take to see results?
With consistent use, most people notice improvements in hydration and puffiness within 2–4 weeks, and more significant changes in fine lines after 6–8 weeks.
