Why It Works
Why It Works
What gives Lighten Up its soft, brightening feel?
Radiance support
Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Licorice Root Extract, Kiwifruit Extract, Caffine, and N-Acetyl Glucosamine help support a brighter-, more refreshed-looking eye area.
Smooth + firm support
Tripeptide-29 + Bakuchiol help support smoother-, firmer-looking skin over time.
Comfort-first hydration
Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid, Beta-Glucan, and Allantoin help keep the delicate eye area feeling soft, comfortable, and lightly cushioned.
Silky, nourishing cream texture
Sunflower Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Isoamyl Laurate, and a gentle cream base help Lighten Up feel smooth and comforting without heaviness.
The result:
Under-eyes look brighter, smoother, and more refreshed - without the heavy or harsh feel.
How to Use
How to Use
First use your favorite Pure + Kiwi cleanser. Then gently apply to the delicate skin around your eyes using clean fingertips. Follow with your favorite Pure + Kiwi serum and moisturizer. Use morning and night.
Pro Tip: Apply once in the morning and again at night. Hydration and brightening benefits can be seen immediately. Improvement in firmness and hyperpigmentation can take up-to 8-12 weeks - as cell turnover typically takes 30 days.

Why Pure + Kiwi works
-
Made for Reactive Skin
Gentle, supportive formulas for skin that feels dry, tight, red, or easily irritated.
-
Calm-First Method
We keep routines simple:
Gentle Cleanse → Calm → Seal -
Botanicals that Comfort
New Zealand botanicals + proven actives help support softer, calmer, steadier-looking skin.
-
Barrier-first, Always
No harsh actives. No fragrance. No essential oils.
Just steady support for sensitive skin.
The Calm-First Method: Cleanse Gently → Calm → Seal
Stop the sting-and-start-over cycle
If your skin reacts to everything, harsh cleansers and random actives often make it worse. Pure + Kiwi helps you cleanse without stripping, calm flare-prone skin, and seal in a barrier-first routine made for sensitive, eczema- and rosacea-prone, acne-prone, and hormonally reactive skin. Our difference: consistency over intensity -New Zealand botanicals paired with proven actives in a routine your skin can actually stick with.
Small-batch care with founder-led guidance
Pure + Kiwi is personal: made with intention, with a brand voice that actually understands reactive skin. You’re not left alone after checkout - we help you use products in a way that supports your barrier and reduces flare risk.
I have used the lighten up eye cream for about 4 months and it has helped reduce dark circles and puffiness. My under eyes look brighter and more rejuvenated. The cream goes on smoothly and absorbs easily. I have had no skin irritation. I would recommend this product!
