Eye Contour Gel-Serum

The African Botanics Eye Contour Gel-Serum is a highly concentrated, cooling treatment for the delicate eye area. Its lightweight gel-serum texture pairs regenerative biotechnology actives — including lupine and alfalfa peptides, yeast beta-glucan, fucoidan-rich seaweed, ceramides, niacinamide, and vitamin C — with caffeine, arnica, copper, and Dragon's Blood to visibly reduce the appearance of puffiness, dark circles, fine lines, and fatigue. The result is an awakened, lifted, more refreshed-looking eye contour.

This serum is designed for anyone seeking a high-performance treatment for the eye area — particularly those concerned with the appearance of puffiness, dark circles, fine lines, or signs of fatigue. Its fast-absorbing, fragrance-free formula is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and works beautifully under makeup.

Yes. Dark circles are addressed through a combination of caffeine, copper, Dragon's Blood, and arnica, which help support microcirculation and visibly brighten the look of the under-eye area. With consistent use, the eye contour appears more revitalized, even, and refreshed.

Yes. The serum delivers an instant cooling, depuffing effect, supported by caffeine, arnica, and the energizing gel-serum texture. These actives help drain, decongest, and visibly tighten the look of the under-eye area, leaving it appearing more lifted and awake.

Yes. Lupine and alfalfa peptides, yeast beta-glucan, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidant-rich vitamin C and ferulic acid work together to deeply hydrate, plump, and help soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. Over time, the eye contour appears smoother, firmer, and more youthful.

The cooling, slightly tingling sensation is part of the formula's energizing, depuffing action. It is created by the combination of active botanicals and circulation-supporting ingredients including caffeine, copper, and arnica, and it indicates that the serum is awakening and revitalizing the eye contour. The sensation subsides as the serum absorbs.

An eye serum delivers a higher concentration of targeted actives in a lightweight, fast-absorbing format, making it ideal for addressing concerns like puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines. An eye cream tends to focus on richer, occlusive hydration. The Eye Contour Gel-Serum is formulated as a gel-serum — combining the high-active performance of a serum with the cushioning hydration of a treatment — giving you both efficacy and comfort in a single step.

Yes. The serum's gentle, ceramide-supported formula makes it well suited to pair with active routines, including retinol. Apply the Eye Contour Gel-Serum first to clean skin around the eyes, and follow with additional treatments if using. For more sensitized skin, use it as your sole eye treatment to allow the actives to work without competition.

After cleansing, dispense a rice-grain-sized amount onto clean fingertips. Gently press and tap under the eyes and across the eyelids, working from the inner corner outward. Continue patting until fully absorbed to stimulate microcirculation and boost radiance. Use morning and evening, before your moisturizer or facial oil. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly and creates a smooth base for makeup.
