The Pro-Collagen Peptide Firming Eye Serum is ideal for anyone seeking a total eye treatment that targets upper eyelids (loss of firmness), outer eyes (lines & crow’s feet) and under-eye (puffiness).
What’s the difference between the Pro-Collagen Peptide Firming Eye Serum and other Paula’s Choice eye treatments?
Although all our eye-area products contain a variety of anti-aging ingredients that target various concerns, the Pro-Collagen Peptide Firming Eye Serum is our first specifically formulated to depuff, firm and tighten. It is our most advanced peptide-focused treatment that specifically targets key factors and pathways that lead to undesirable changes around the eye, including fatigue-related puffiness, which can occur at any age.
How long does it take to see results when using the peptide eye serum?
While many report the eye area feeling instantly refreshed, results can vary from person to person ranging from one week for improved hydration to four weeks + for visible lifting, tightening and softening of fine lines.
Is the Pro-Collagen Peptide Firming Eye Serum paraben-free, vegan or silicone-free?
The Pro-Collagen Peptide Firming Eye Serum is paraben free and vegan. This product does contain dimethicone (a skin-softening ingredient), so it is not considered silicone-free.
How well does this formula depuff stubborn eye bags?
The Pro-Collagen Peptide Firming Eye Serum’s cooling metal tip can help alleviate under-eye puffiness related to fluid retention. This can be achieved by gently massaging the product under the eye in a back-and-forth rocker motion. This will help to break up and prevent pooling of fluid in this area.
More stubborn under-eye puffiness may be caused by a variety of factors including aging, lack of sleep, allergies, genetics and more. Depending on what’s causing bags under the eyes, there will be a variety of treatment options to consider.
