I had high hopes for the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Bakuchiol Eye Cream, mostly because I love their toners and ampoules. But unfortunately, this one just didn’t work for me.
The texture is nice — lightweight, spreads easily, and doesn’t sting my eyes. It layers well under makeup and feels refreshing at first.
But after using it every night for about a month, I can honestly say I didn’t see any real change in my under-eye area. No difference in fine lines, no brightening, no long-term hydration.
It’s not irritating, and I appreciate the ingredients (bakuchiol, centella, probiotics), but it just feels like a basic moisturizer in fancy packaging. For the price, I was hoping for more — even just a smoother texture around my eyes or some plumping. But it felt like nothing changed at all.
Maybe this works better for younger skin or someone just starting eye cream, but for me (late 20s, fine lines starting to show), it just wasn’t effective.
A pass for me.
Curious if anyone’s had success layering this with something more active, like a peptide serum or retinol underneath?
