Illuminating Eye Serum

Benefits of Illuminating Eye Serum

Illuminating Eye Serum is a lightweight yet nourishing Finnish bio-retinol eye serum created for dark circles, puffiness, fine lines and dry or sensitive skin around the eyes.

Its concentrated oil-based formula combines gentle bio-retinol with Nordic botanical oils and a cooling stainless steel rollerball to help the eye area look brighter, smoother and more refreshed.

• Brightens dark-looking under-eyes – Helps improve the appearance of tired, dull and uneven-looking skin for a fresher, more luminous eye area.
• Helps reduce visible puffiness – The cooling stainless steel rollerball provides an instantly refreshing sensation and gently massages the delicate eye area.
• Smooths the appearance of fine lines – Bio-retinol helps support firmness, elasticity and natural collagen production without the dryness commonly associated with traditional retinol.
• Deeply nourishes without heaviness – Nutrient-rich botanical oils soften and replenish dry under-eye skin while helping protect against moisture loss.
• Soothes the delicate eye area – The fragrance-free formula helps calm sensitive, dry or easily irritated skin.
• Works beautifully under makeup – Its lightweight texture absorbs easily, helping concealer apply more smoothly without the eye area feeling dry or heavy.

The nourishing formula provides enough care to be used without a separate eye cream. It can also be applied around the lip contour where dryness and fine lines commonly appear.

Key Nordic Ingredients in Illuminating Eye Serum

Upcycled Scandinavian Coffee Oil

Made from upcycled Scandinavian coffee, this antioxidant-rich oil helps energise the appearance of tired-looking eyes. It supports a brighter, firmer-looking eye area and helps reduce the visible appearance of dark circles and puffiness.

Lingonberry Seed Oil

This nutrient-rich Nordic berry oil contains essential fatty acids and antioxidants that nourish, soften and replenish delicate under-eye skin. It helps calm visible redness while supporting elasticity, hydration and a more even-looking skin tone.

Oat Oil

Naturally soothing oat oil helps comfort dry, sensitive and easily irritated skin. Rich in skin-supporting lipids, it nourishes the delicate eye area, helps reduce moisture loss and leaves the skin feeling soft and protected.

Supporting Active Ingredients

Bakuchiol Oil – Gentle Bio-Retinol

Bakuchiol oil offers retinol-inspired smoothing and brightening benefits in a gentler form. It helps support firmness, elasticity and natural collagen production while improving the appearance of fine lines and uneven-looking skin — without the dryness commonly associated with traditional retinol.

Rosehip Seed Oil

Rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, rosehip seed oil helps replenish dry skin and support a smoother, more even-looking eye area. It also helps soften the appearance of fine lines and visible skin discolouration.

What Makes Illuminating Eye Serum Different?

Illuminating Eye Serum brings together three elements rarely found in one eye product: gentle bio-retinol care, nutrient-rich Nordic oils and a cooling stainless steel rollerball.

The concentrated oil-based formula delivers nourishment without requiring a separate eye cream. Its fragrance-free composition is designed for the delicate eye area and can also be used around the lips, where dryness and fine lines often appear.

Upcycled Scandinavian coffee oil adds a circular beauty element to the formula, transforming a Nordic everyday ingredient into high-performance skincare. The cooling rollerball turns application into a gentle massage ritual that refreshes tired-looking eyes while allowing the serum to be applied precisely and without unnecessary pulling of the skin.

How to Use the Eye Serum Roller

Shake well before use. Gently glide the rollerball around the eye contour using light, smooth movements without pressing or pulling the delicate skin. Pat any remaining serum into the skin with your ring finger.

Use morning and evening after toner and any water-based serum, but before moisturizer or facial oil. Allow the serum to absorb before applying concealer or other makeup.

The cooling stainless steel rollerball gently massages the eye area and helps tired, puffy-looking eyes feel refreshed. For an extra cooling effect, place the serum in the refrigerator for a short time before use. As the formula contains natural jojoba oil, prolonged refrigeration may cause it to solidify.

Illuminating Eye Serum can also be applied around the lip contour to nourish dry skin and soften the appearance of fine lines.
