Comparing K-Beauty Best-selling Retinol Eye Creams

We have gotten so many questions around our two best-selling anti-ageing eye creams. So here’s our take on their differences and suitabilities 👀
💓 Available at: www.skincupid.co.uk
🤍 SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream
Turn back the clock with this holy grail anti-aging eye cream. The main active ingredients are Retinol and Retinal, both of which are hailed by dermatologists to be one of the most effective active skincare ingredients for anti-aging. This eye cream helps smooth out fine lines, increase collagen production and elasticity. The formula is packed with star ingredients such as Niacinamide to brighten the under eyes, Centella Extract to soothe and repair, and Panthenol to nourish.
🤍 BEAUTY OF JOSEON Revive Eye Serum: Ginseng + Retinal
Revive the skin around your eyes with this nourishing Eye Serum. Formulated with 10% Ginseng Root Extract, a known nourishing and anti-aging ingredient often used in Korean traditional skincare remedies, and 2% Retinal Liposome that’s a star ingredient - this serum provides long-lasting hydration for the skin, and boosts the skin’s elasticity and collagen, therefore reducing the appearance of undereye wrinkles and fine lines. After use, the skin around the eyes will feel hydrated and rejuvenated. The texture is very silky and absorptions well.
🤍 HARUHARU WONDER Black Rice Bakuchiol Eye Cream
This silky eye cream brightens and improves the appearance of wrinkles as well as increases elasticity. The main ingredients are 2,000ppm fermented Black Rice Extract which helps with dark circles, and 5,000ppm Bakuchiol which is a natural alternative to anti-ageing superstar Retinol.
It is formulated to suit all skin types, including sensitive skin. It is fragrance-free, and the texture is creamy yet lightweight.

Can I also use the second one for dark circles and fine lines ?

[@samiha_humayra_]

Yes

[@sherryroses9560]

Do you have to do sandwich method even if its an retinol eye cream??

[@crackheadsimagination1135]

Absolutely, since the eye area is the most sensitive spot on your face.

[@twoleftfeet9626]

You don't have to no. But if you are sensitive it can help

[@HaninIssa-ui2gs]

Hi skin Cupid I suggest you say the side effects of the products aswell because I have bought the some by mi eye cream and by day two my undereys started to burn and are really red. I have no idea if my undereys are going to be sensitive forever after what happened. Please mention in your videos that it isn’t suitable for everyone!!

[@Ok-fp9si]

Did you continue using it? The same thing happened to me with BOJ eye cream. I kind of wanna keep using it and tolerate it but idk.

[@MeryemBoukhriss-qk2ln]

I suggest stopping using it. retinol can cause quite a mess of side effects if you overuse it. now give your skin a break (stop using even cleanser and spf) and only use an ointment (or cicaplast) after your skin recovers, reuse retinol but start slow (once or twice a week) and make sure not to mix it with other actives on the same application (aha bha pha vitamin c glutathione or niacinamide) and please make sure to always moisturize after retinol

[@MeryemBoukhriss-qk2ln]

also!! don't use retinol on damp skin

[@jasmine7345]

The beauty of Joseon ginseng + retinal (light pink bottle) should be used every other day if you haven't used retinoids before. And with sunscreen if used during the day. Or you can use the Haruharu black rice eye cream for similar benefits without the hassle. But I'd still recommend using sunscreen, regardless of which products you're using. Hope this helps! - a very sensitive skin, skincare user 😅

[@Ok-fp9si]

@@jasmine7345 I started using it every 2 days, it it’s helped! Thank you though!

Hi, which eye cream would u recommend if you suffer from milia

I was also having this near my nose bridge only... Summers m due to sweating aur zyada ho jata tha... I have a combination skin.. And I'm 16 rn.. Toh abhi from dec i started using benzac AC on someone's recommendation... It worked... The only concern is... Millia have been treated but uski jagah pr open pores aa gaye hain.. As this tube is drying.. So ab for open pores I'm using niacinamide💀... But yaa the millia have finally ended

[@mariamaya7239]

Which one better for 40’s with wrinkle and dark circle ..?

[@pnk4120]

Defo the first one Mi ( purple one ) 💜

[@kalyanideepali]

Are these eye creams suitable for the eyelid area? Because my skin is starting to sag there

[@skincupid]

Yes!

[@KawaiiKandi]

Late response but I’d ask a dermatologist (one you can see in person is better). In general this is a big no. Eyelids are very sensitive and it has a higher chance of getting into your eyes. You could get dry eye symptoms as well as irritation on your eyelid skin which will not be fun for you!

[@user-xs5sg2kr3o]

Can i use these retinol eye cream on my face ?? For dry skin

[@camilapolanco3290]

Dr. Dray has a full video about the Beauty of Joseon one, at least that I know it can be used on the entire face

[@mandysingh]

Love this but skin Cupid sells the products for so much more expensive then where I get it from 😂

[@Bangtanworld-zm6hf]

Exactly , even on yesstyle so many of their products are cheaper on this

[@vanisha1093]

What would you recommend for dark circle and fine line if we were to include Corsx snail mucin eye cream with these 2?

[@skincupid]

Either the Goodal Vita C Eye Cream or the Haruharu Wonder Bakuchiol Eye Cream!!

[@vanisha1093]

@@skincupid Thank you for your reply. What is Corsx Snail Mucin eye cream good for?

Do I have to apply spf after using one of them?

[@shadesuthida7225]

wear retinol only at night and wear sunscreen during the day :)

[@shahnaznafil]

Hey, I wanted to get the Haruharu one as it seems safer but how often can I use it?

You can use it daily!

[@nightwolf2629]

For dark circles which one is good? BOJ or some by mi??? Plz suggest..And can we use some by mi one on our face as well?

[@dindin.skully]

Somebymi. Aside from the retinoids (anti aging), it contains niacinamide and transexamic acid which have brigthening properties that will help reduce hyperpigmentation.

[@udhaya2699]

Hi @skincupid I have stubborn dark circle for 6 years which one should I use pls suggest me one pls I want to get rid of this circles

[@user-xs5sg2kr3o]

Use the purple one(some by mi ) it's perfect. First two months you'll see the difference ❤

[@munazzasultana968]

I have dark circles for years..can you suggest me which one should I use?

[@Shenyyy195]

Hi! I heard from a dermatologist that for hyperpigmentation dark circles use vitamin c/niacinamide and for dark circles due to blood vessels use caffeine eye creams and retinols can also help (0.1%-1%)

[@tamara-gv6gq]

Is the last eyecream good for teens

[@Tttt28882]

Teens should only use a regular entire face moisturizer… Unless a doctor says u should use an eye cream!

[@user-nk5km3ws1r]

Hi what age do you recommend to start using an eye cream is 18 too young ? :)

[@simbaboo7811]

Start by 25

[@User22-ul8gb]

It depends if you have wrinkles you can use retinol eye creams. Or just want to brighter undereyes use vitamin c niacinamide based one. If you have no concerns no need to use any . Use a typical moisturizer.

[@lhuynh5843]

hi, can i use the joseon of beauty one on a daily basis?

[@skincupid]

It would depend on your skin's sensitivity, but we would recommend 2-3 times a week!

[@lizzieyvette]

But then why do some dermatology doctors say not to use it on your eyes because it can mess up the tissue or something like that

[@MeryemBoukhriss-qk2ln]

that depends on the formulation, if it's an eye cream it's formulated intentionally not to break you skin barrier and irritate it. even though, start slow with retinol

[@lizzieyvette]

@@MeryemBoukhriss-qk2ln thank you 😊 for your help

[@user-dn4ut3oe4e]

which do you recommend for sunken eyes?

[@jasmine7345]

Beauty of Joseon ginseng + retinal (light pink)

[@user-zp1ne4sc7b]

I have dark circle what i have to use

[@girlsmth]

You can use any,depends on your budget

[@laurenchung8272]

Can I use these every day twice a day? I’m 22 and have combo skin. I already use retinol pads toner twice a day as well. My under eyes tend to get dry

[@twoleftfeet9626]

You need a urea undereye cream, not retinol. Retinol is for anti aging

[@catherinejoseph2821]

Can you use the Mi eye cream during AM ?

[@skincupid]

We would recommend to use retinol eye creams in the evening!

[@reshmaa5724]

can the some by mi eye cream be used during the day?

[@skincupid]

We recommend using retinol products at night time ❤

[@serinthomas2349]

Your products are damn expensive and are way more costly than its original price.. Yestyle, styledotty and macaron are much affordable options...

[@FatemaBegum-vv6ek]

I am looking for a light weight, hydrating eyecream... Which will be suitable for me ? I have no sensitivity

[@skincupid]

Majority of eye creams tend to be quite lightweight as the skin is thinner there, so it would depend on your skin concern! Retinol eye creams are both great for anti-ageing and dark circles, and definitely the most powerful out there if you have no sensitivity to exfoliants!

[@Dilina111]

@@skincupid I never used retinol before. What whould you recommend for the beginners. I have a few wrinkles under my eyes.

[@Yumfills]

Can I use the revive ginseng eye cream as a 17 year old ?.... And also just after using face wash Can I apply the eye cream directly and then apply moisturizer?

[@christine_notchristina]

Hi! Yes you can use the BOJ retinal + ginseng eye serum during night even as a 17 year old because it only has 0.02% concentration so it's a good starting point for using retinol-prods. Face Wash > Eye Serum > Moisturizer. You're right, this is the recommended order of use. Please observe how your skin reacts, okay? Even though its mild, please do not blind side your skin by putting too many things and too much right away. 😊

[@Yumfills]

[@Zhoxise]

I am 18 can I use an eye cream with retinol?

[@bubblestee]

No, you may not need it but technically you can use it

No, dermatologists recommend retinol in your mid 20s. Just use SPF and a basic eye cream.

[@hadiqamuskanjaved4902]

Do you ship to India??

[@skincupid]

Yes we do!

[@abravabu8746]

what should i use for dark circles?

[@skincupid]

Either would work well, but if you are starting out with retinol it is best to limit the use to a 2-3 times a week!

hi I am 15, is it safe for me to use the beauty of joseon eye cream that contains retinol?

[@asminamalla2147]

you should avoid using retinol all together, only start using it in your 20's cause retinol actually does more harm than good if you use it in young skin.

[@Ok-fp9si]

At 13 you're still developing and often bad skin can be a part of growing. You may grow out of it or you may not. Speak with a professional. I'm 26 and only just started using it.
