How it works
This is eye care in a serum texture, aimed at the common complaint that an eye cream is too much under makeup. A drop or two spreads by itself over thin skin, which means the area is covered with barely any handling. It belongs before a face cream so that a rich layer is not already covering the orbital area. It holds less water through a night than a balm does and creases far less in the day, which is exactly the trade off. At a drop per eye a 10ml bottle runs for months, so the small size is less of a limit than it looks on the shelf.
Key benefits
- What it is: eye serum, 10ml, used the eye step, after serum and before face cream.
- Texture: a light fluid that creases less than a balm.
- Aimed at: the look of dark circles, a tired looking eye area, wearing concealer over eye care.
- Original Korean Formula: the version sold on Korean shelves, not a US reformulation.

What is the innisfree Vitamin C Niacinamide Brightening Eye Serum 10ml?
It is a 10ml eye serum, used after your face serum and before a face cream, tapped around the orbital bone with a ring finger. A serum texture creases less under concealer than a balm does, which is the usual reason people switch to one. A drop per eye is the dose.
What is the difference between an eye serum and an eye cream?
Texture and holding power. A serum is a fluid that settles quickly and sits well under concealer, and a cream is a balm that holds more water through the night. If your eye cream creases in the day or migrates into the eye overnight, a serum is the format to try.
Where does the eye serum go in the routine?
After your face serum and before your face cream, which is the slot in which nothing rich is yet in the way. If you also use an eye cream at night, the serum goes first. Sheet masks and eye patches come earlier still.
Can I use the 10ml in the morning under makeup?
Yes, and that is where a serum texture is at its best. Tap a drop around each orbital bone, give it a minute, then apply concealer. A tiny pot lasts a long time at a drop per eye, so the size is less limiting than it looks.
Is this the same version sold in Korea?
Yes, this is the Korean-market formula rather than a US reformulation of it. The 10ml comes with Korean primary labelling and an intact barcode, which is what lets you verify what you have received. We hold stock in the United States.

How to use
- Use it in the eye slot of the routine, after serum and ahead of a face cream.
- One drop per eye, tapped rather than rubbed around the orbital bone with the lightest finger.
- Wait a minute before makeup, which is usually all a light fluid needs.
- Avoid the waterline entirely, because a thin fluid will find its way into the eye if you get close to it.
Worth knowing
- Keep it clear of the waterline, since a light fluid travels into the eye easily.
- Patch test at the outer corner for a few nights before going right around the eye.
- Tap rather than rub, because friction is what the eye area tolerates least.
