Do you need a separate eye product?

An optional step should have a reason to be there.

A separate eye product is a choice, not a requirement to complete your shelf.

Decide what you are choosing

You might prefer a separate formula and application step around the eyes. You might prefer a shorter routine. Neither preference creates an obligation to add another product.

Do not assume that a face serum or cream is suitable close to the eyes. Read the directions and warnings for the specific product.

What 002 is

002 Peptide Eye Gel is a gel-cream containing acetyl tetrapeptide-5, sodium hyaluronate and grape seed oil. Its full ingredient list is published on the product page.

Our directions call for a small amount along the orbital bone, away from the lash line and the eyes, before cream. If irritation occurs, stop using it.

Keep expectations ordinary

An eye product is a cosmetic. It is not a replacement for sleep or a way to make a persistent concern disappear. If you are dealing with an ongoing eye-area problem, ask a qualified clinician rather than choosing from a product headline.

If the step has no place in your day, leave it out. A routine does not improve simply because it gets longer.
