Brilliant Eyes Bio-Advanced Daily Eye Cream

Hello, Janet. We love that you want to use your moisturizer everywhere! Yes, many of the same benefits of using the cream around your eyes can also be experienced by applying it to other areas on your face, hands or body. As always, we recommend doing a patch test to make sure your skin reacts positively, before applying it all over.

Hello, Terri! We understand that some ingredient names can be confusing or misleading, but do not worry, Cetyl and Cetearyl Alcohol are not drying to the skin. Some alcohols are good for the skin, and others, such as Ethel or Denatured Alcohol (which are basically like rubbing alcohol) are very drying to the skin.

Fatty alcohols, such as Cetyl and Cetearyl Alcohol, actually help condition the skin. A simple way to remember which alcohols are safe and good for your skin (and hair) is that they start with a “C” or an “S.”

Hi, Barbara. For optimal results, it’s best to use this product twice a day – once in the morning and again at night. Anytime you cleanse your face you should always follow with a moisturizer, so it’s a good habit to just use the cream immediately after washing. Before bed is also optimal, as not only is it always beneficial to have clean skin while sleeping, but the nourishing ingredients will be able to soak into your skin overnight, giving your skin ample opportunity for healing, promoting glowing, healthy looking skin when you wake up!

If you have any questions about any of this or would like personalized attention for your unique situation, please contact us.

Hi, Jasmine – Because this product contains palm oil, it cannot be classified as “non-comedogenic.” However, typically most are concerned with a product being non-comedogenic because they are concerned with PEGs, which these products do not have in them.

It’s important to not assume that a product is bad for you if it is not non-comedogenic because heavy oils are needed to effectively moisturizer normal to dry skin. Where heavy oils tend to be a problem is for those who have oily and acne prone skin. Often it depends on the type of oil, such as PEGs, which our skin care products do not contain. You can find a complete list of ingredients, including additional details about each, by looking in the indgredients section near the top of this page.

Hi, Beth.

Yes! Not only can you apply it around your eye areas, but it can also be used to spot-
treat other areas on your skin that you hope to decrease fine lines, wrinkles and unwanted skin discoloration (such as sunspots). The reason it is important to use an eye cream rather than your face moisturizer around your eyes is primarily because the skin around your eyes is more sensitive and delicate.

Even though our eye cream is made with some of the same ingredients as our Vitamin C Infusion moisturizer, some of the ingredients are lower in dosage so they are not as potent. This is intentional, as the thin skin around the eyes absorbs better than the thicker skin on other areas of your face, and if you use something too strong, it could cause irritation around the eyes. Our Brilliant Eyes cream is formulated to be very gentle, without any fragrances, and additional ingredients that are tailored specifically for the fragile tissue around the eyes.

Hello, Anabelle –

Yes! Just keep in mind that it is not a replacement to invasive treatments like chemical peels, laser, surgery or applying harsh chemicals to your face – all topical serums, creams and moisturizers take time to work and show results.

All that said, our Brilliant Eyes cream is formulated with restorative ingredients that have been known to protect the cells from further damage, and help repair damage and hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin). When used consistently, you can expect to see visible improvements such as firmer, brighter skin, fine lines and wrinkles minimized, more even skin tone and complexion, and spots diminished. Of course, any expert will agree that it’s always important to apply sunscreen daily to help protect and prevent your skin from further damage caused by UV exposure.
