Glow Recipe’s New Vitamin C Eye Cream Does It All

Now that Labor Day Weekend has passed, summer—although unofficially—is pretty much over. Whether you’re saying goodbye to summer Fridays or are headed back to school to endure 8 AM lectures, your schedule is probably stacking up fairly quickly, leaving you with little time for rest this upcoming fall.

Well, you, your busy schedule, and your possibly tired eyes will be glad to know that Glow Recipe launches its Guava Vitamin C Bright-Eye Gel Cream ($38) today. This eye cream aims to banish both warm- and cool-toned dark circles, depuff the eye area—including the lid—and lift the delicate skin around the eyes. Basically, this product takes all the guesswork out of caring for your eyes, leaving you with a complexion that looks refreshed—even if you haven’t reached your eight-hour sleep goal in days.

It sounds a little too good to be true, which is why we decided to put the Glow Recipe Guava Vitamin C Bright-Eye Gel Cream to the test. Here’s what we’ve uncovered about the brand’s latest launch.

The Product

Before getting into why we love this eye cream, here’s a brief history of the formula. In Fall of 2021, Glow Recipe launched its Guava Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum, which was the number one skin care product at Sephora at launch. The fruit-forward brand expands its brightening Guava line today with the Guava Vitamin C Bright-Eye Gel Cream, a day-to-night lightweight gel cream meant to brighten and lift the entire eye area, including both the under eye and upper lid.
