Sunday Riley Auto Correct Brightening + Depuffing Eye Cream for Dark Circles
by Sunday Riley · skin_care
Editor's Take
Caffeine and Horse Chestnut do the depuffing work while Titanium Dioxide and Mica blur dark circles on contact; the silicone-heavy base keeps it smooth but tanks the clean score.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Efficacy: 8.5 / 10
- Modern Tech: 8.0 / 10
- Clean Beauty: 3.3 / 10
- Sustainability: 5.5 / 10
The Verdict
This formula earns its Highly Advanced technology band by suspending optical minerals in a multi-silicone film system that delivers immediate brightening and long-wear blur. Efficacy is strong , Caffeine constricts blood vessels, Horse Chestnut supports microcirculation, and the mineral blend optically corrects dark circles on contact. The trade: four silicones and ethoxylated waxes anchor the base, dropping clean to 3.3 and sustainability to mixed. Worth it if you want instant correction and proven depuffing actives, but this is a performance-first formula that skips the natural-beauty aisle entirely.
