Sunday Riley Auto Correct Brightening + Depuffing Eye Cream for Dark Circles
by Sunday Riley · skin_care
Editor's Take
For tired under-eyes, this one earns its brightening claim with Caffeine and mineral gleam, but clean shoppers are staring at a silicone-polymer bill.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 7.8 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 7.5 / 10
- Clean Standards: 3.3 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 7.0 / 10
The Verdict
Efficacy is Strong at 7.8, and technology is Modern at 7.5, which matches the product's brightening and depuffing pitch. Caffeine helps with morning puffiness, while Mica and Titanium Dioxide give the fast soft-focus lift people expect from an eye cream at this price. The trade-off is clean, sitting at 3.3 because PEG-8 Beeswax, Phenyl Trimethicone, Dimethicone, and synthetic polymers do a lot of the cosmetic work. Worth it for instant under-eye polish with some real depuffing support, not for a strict clean-beauty shelf.
