Sunday Riley Auto Correct Brightening + Depuffing Eye Cream for Dark Circles
by Sunday Riley · skin_care
Editor's Take
Worth reaching for when tired eyes need stage lighting: caffeine tackles puffiness while mineral reflectors brighten quickly, though the clean score takes the hit.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Efficacy: 7.8 / 10
- Modern Tech: 7.5 / 10
- Clean Beauty: 3.3 / 10
- Sustainability: 7.0 / 10
The Verdict
Efficacy is Strong at 7.8, with Caffeine supporting depuffing and Mica plus Titanium Dioxide giving dark circles an immediate optical lift. Technology is Modern at 7.5, using silicone film formers to keep that soft-focus finish smooth and durable. Clean is Weak at 3.3 because PEG-8 Beeswax, Phenyl Trimethicone, Dimethicone, and synthetic polymers are central to the base. A credible pick for quick brightening and morning puffiness, not a clean-beauty above the middle.
