Bright Start Retinol Alternative Eye Cream

Bright Start can be used morning and night. We love it in the morning as a wakeup call for eyes. The cooling ceramic tip and light-reflecting pearl make it a calming, brightening part of your morning routine.

We recommend applying Bright Start before your moisturizer and SPF.

Sea Fennel Extract, the plant-based retinol alternative in Bright Start, delivers the benefits of traditional retinol without the drawbacks. It’s safe for sensitive skin and eyes, safe for daytime use, and there’s no need to build tolerance.

The plant-based retinol alternative used in Bright Start, Sea Fennel Extract, isn’t actually a retinoid—it’s a botanical extract with similar benefits. That means it’s safe to use with products containing Vitamin C like our True Skin Serum Concealer.

Bright Start is formulated for all skin types. It’s fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and safe for sensitive skin and eyes.

Bright Start is formulated with sheer, light-reflecting pearl to softly illuminate eyes, but it won't add any coverage. We love pairing it with True Skin Serum Concealer to conceal dark circles or discoloration. Over time, Bright Start is clinically proven to reduce dark circles.

We created Bright Start for a moment of morning calm. Squeeze the tube to swipe a small amount under your eye, flip to the cooling side of the ceramic tip, massage in slow arcs from the outer corner of your eye in and above the brow bone, and tap gently to help any excess product absorb.
