Key actives
Caffeineactive
Caffeine constricts small blood vessels near the surface, which is why eye products use it for the look of puffiness and shadow. It is water soluble and works only while it is on the skin. On this eye cream's own ingredient list it is named forty-first.
Tocopherolantioxidant
Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer. The panel names it thirty-ninth on this eye cream's list, beside Caffeine.
Cholesterolbarrier lipid
Cholesterol is the third of the three lipids the outer layer of skin is built from, with ceramides and fatty acids. Formulas that carry all three are following the ratio skin itself holds. It is named thirty-sixth on this eye cream's list, alongside Caffeine.
Glycolipidsbarrier lipid
Glycolipids are lipids joined to a sugar. In a formula they work partly as barrier lipids and partly as mild emulsifiers, holding oil and water together. The panel names it thirty-eighth on this eye cream's list, beside Caffeine.
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extractplant extract
Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine. The panel names it forty-third on this eye cream's list, beside Caffeine.
How to use
- AM and PM, after cleansing and toner.
- Dot a small amount around each eye, along the orbital bone.
- Pat gently with a fingertip; avoid dragging the thin skin.
Where does this eye cream go in my routine?
After serum and before moisturizer, morning and evening. Anything thinner than an eye cream goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Caffeine and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market eye cream or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Caffeine and all. We match this eye cream to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this eye cream contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance. It sits on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this eye cream is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Caffeine?
Tocopherol, Cholesterol and Glycolipids. The order they are printed in on this eye cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Caffeine sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Squalane and Diisostearyl Malate.

How it works
The Super Vital Eye Cream is a 25ml eye cream, used after serum and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The active it is built around is Caffeine, named forty-first on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Tocopherol, Cholesterol and Glycolipids, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Caffeine stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the eye cream format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the eye cream IOPE sells in Korea, Caffeine and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this eye cream on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Caffeine on the list.
- This list names Fragrance, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.

It has also been proven that caffeine stimulates lipolysis, which Lupo et al postulated may contribute to improvements in lower eyelid sagging and puffiness.
