The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Eye Serum
by The Ordinary · skin_care
Editor's Take
Among eye serums, this one earns its shelf space: Matrixyl Synthe'6, Eyeseryl, and Niacinamide target lines, puffiness, and dullness without luxury-brand theater.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 8.8 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 8.5 / 10
- Clean Standards: 8.0 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 8.3 / 10
The Verdict
The peptide network is unusually serious for this category, with Matrixyl Synthe'6, Eyeseryl, and Syn-Ake covering wrinkles, puffiness, and expression lines. Niacinamide and Acetyl Glucosamine add credible brightening and barrier support, while cyclodextrin helps stabilize and deliver the actives. Conventional glycols lead the base, while trace Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin, and Polysorbate 20 keep it outside stricter clean standards without undoing the strong profile. One of the sharper eye-serum picks on the shelf.
