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

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.
