Eye Serum

A lightweight, replenishing moisturizer for the delicate eye area, Eye Serum softens the appearance of fine lines and strengthens delicate skin, while soothing visible signs of puffiness and stagnation. Flavonoid-rich, unrefined oils are combined with calming, medicinal herbs to provide the nutrients needed to restore, repair, and protect against oxidative stress.

KEY ACTIONS

  • Moisturizes and firms the delicate skin around the eye
  • Soothes puffiness, stagnation, and visible inflammation
  • Provides the nutrients needed to strengthen connective tissue

SKIN TYPE

Suitable for all skin types

The Eye Serum contains 22 plants; an infusion of fresh, whole medicinal herbs steeped for three lunar cycles combined with a blend of fresh, unrefined oils chosen specifically for the delicate eye area. Each light-weight seed and berry oil is chosen to nourish without heaviness, allowing the skin to feel supported rather than occluded. The result is hydrated, supple, firmer skin with visibly less puffiness.

Flavonoid and resveratrol-rich fruits and berries help to tonify and strengthen connective tissue. CRANBERRY, RED GRAPE, and BILBERRY have an herbal affinity for collagen and structural matrix. The building of connective tissue and strengthening of capillaries over time not only increases firmness and elasticity but also reduces the appearance of dark circles.

ROSEHIP FRUIT and SEED are rich in vitamins C, E, and A, alongside synergistic carotenoids and flavonoids. This combination of nutrients found in the Rose plant has been long valued for cellular renewal and longevity, and supporting the collagen matrix and structural integrity.

Deeply powerful anti-inflammatory herbs, including LICORICE and CHAMOMILE soothe the delicate skin around the eye, easing stagnation and puffiness. Nutritive, tonic herbs like NETTLE and FENNEL have a long-standing history of supporting eye health, and these plants ground the formula.

The faintest whisper of rare oils; calming ROMAN CHAMOMILE and firming WHITE ROSE are included for their ability to encourage resilience in this thin, expressive skin.

When weighing the differences between the Eye Serum and the Eye Balm, most make their choice based on textural preference. The Eye Serum is sometimes preferred for daytime use, a lightweight droplet that absorbs quickly, well-suited to pre-makeup application. The Eye Balm is a richer moisturizer for those with drier skin types, and is sometimes preferred for evening use. Using both is also common, and in that case, we recommend Eye Serum in the AM and Eye Balm in the PM.

PHYTOCHEMISTRY PROFILE

essential fatty acids (including omega 3 and GLA), carotenoids (including beta carotene, zeaxanthin, lutein, lycopene, ++), vitamin E, resveratrol, flavonoids (including rutin, quercetin, catechin, anthocyanin, ++), various polyphenols, vitamin A, phytosterols, vitamin D, phytoceramides, phytosteroids (triterpenoids), xanthones, oligomeric proanthocyanidins, vitamin C, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, zinc, selenium, tannins, potassium, copper, manganese, magnesium, nerol, geraniol, bisabolol, pinene, santalols, santalenes

USAGE
One drop of Eye Serum is enough for both eyes. Using a fingertip, apply to the under-eye area and circle around the orbital bone. Avoid tear ducts and lash lines. Apply to clean skin prior to primary moisturizer.

RITUAL
While a topical formula can support this delicate tissue, the most visible shifts often happen when plants are combined with warmth, circulation, and gentle massage. To reduce puffiness in the eyes, you should start with the neck.

Begin after cleansing by pressing a warm towel into the face, neck, and chest. Repeat this compress several times, allowing the warmth to soften tissue and encourage movement through the lymphatic and circulatory pathways in the neck and chest.

Mist the skin generously with Elixir, then apply one drop of Eye Serum along the orbital bone beneath the eye. Using light pressure, massage in small inward circles: from the lower orbital bone upward to the brow, then circle back around toward the inner eye.

Pause just beneath the brow bone and press gently while taking a slow breath in.

All massage should remain intuitive and comfortable. Finish your ritual with another mist of Elixir and your moisturizing Serum and/or Balm.

Use within six months of opening and before the recommended use-by date on the bottom of the bottle. Store in a cool, dry, and dark place.

EVENING PRIMROSE OIL

CRANBERRY SEED OIL
Cranberry Seed Oil contains a rare balance of omegas 3, 6, and 9 along with resveratrol, phytosterols, and phospholipids. This nutrient-dense oil supports vibrant aging while helping the skin respond to inflammation and oxidative stress.

Ëšorganically grown ingredient

Laurel Skin formulas set a benchmark for high ingredient and formulation standards that the beauty industry would collectively consider unreasonable. Here are a few highlights that set our Eye Serum apart:

  • Exclusive use of freshly pressed, unrefined, virgin oils to maintain antioxidant and nutrient availability
  • Exclusive use of 100% organic, biodynamic and regeneratively grown plants
  • A 3-month whole-plant infusion in every bottle
  • No lab-made, synthetic isolates, bioidenticals, or biomimetics – only whole plants
  • Micro-dosed essential oils for immediate phytonutrient support, without overwhelming the skin
  • The abbreviated list above cannot be found elsewhere – our level of care and integrity is proudly unreasonable.

    THE EYES AS A WINDOW
    Puffiness or dark circles around the eyes are rarely just a surface concern. In herbal traditions, it is linked to lymph stagnation, overall systemic inflammation, and the body’s fluid balance, which can be influenced by kidney function, sleep, and stress.

    Topical plants can support delicate eye tissue, but visible change happens more visibly when skincare is paired with simple self-care rituals. Gentle massage, warm compresses, and supporting circulation can help encourage movement through the lymphatic pathways around the eyes and face.

    Persistent puffiness or dark circles may also be a signal to look more broadly at nourishment, rest, and sunlight. As herbalists, we often see the skin as a reflection of internal balance. The small daily rituals we practice for the body can be just as important as the plants we apply to it.
