A light, milky eye cream that tackles fine lines and dark circles together. It pairs bakuchiol (0.5%), a plant-based alternative to retinol, with niacinamide and fermented black rice. It absorbs quickly with no stickiness, so it sits well under concealer.
Best for: fine lines, tired-looking or darker under-eyes, and anyone who wants retinol-style results without the irritation.
Key ingredients
- Bakuchiol (5,000ppm): a plant-derived ingredient that works in a similar way to retinol, helping smooth fine lines, but is much gentler on delicate skin.
- Niacinamide: helps brighten the look of dark circles and even out skin tone.
- Fermented black rice: rich in antioxidants that help protect the thin under-eye skin from daily stress.
- Adenosine and madecassoside: adenosine helps with the look of wrinkles and madecassoside (from centella) helps soothe.
How to use
Use it morning and evening after your serum. Split a rice-grain amount between your ring fingers and gently tap it around the under-eye area and on the eyelids until absorbed. Keep it out of the eyes themselves.
Why BTY loves it
Bakuchiol is a brilliant option for the eye area because it gives you anti-ageing benefits without the dryness or flaking retinol can cause. The light texture means it works under makeup too.

- Haruharu Wonder Centella Phyto & 5 Peptide Concentrate Cream
