What is IMAGE Skincare VITAL C Hydrating Eye Recovery Gel?

IMAGE Skincare VITAL C Hydrating Eye Recovery Gel is a hydrating and refreshing eye gel designed to soothe the delicate eye area while helping reduce the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles.

Its cooling gel texture instantly refreshes tired-looking eyes, while stable forms of vitamin C help nourish and brighten the skin. A targeted peptide complex helps improve the appearance of dark circles and wrinkles, and sodium hyaluronate helps attract water to the skin for added hydration.

The formula also contains nourishing antioxidants to support healthy-looking skin around the eyes.
