FIRST AID BEAUTY | EYE DUTY NIACINAMIDE BRIGHTENING EYE CREAM

This review was originally part of my blog article titled, A Few New Eye Creams I’m Really into Now With Farmacy, First Aid Beauty and More! You can still catch the full piece here.

I’ve reviewed multiple products from First Aid Beauty on the blog, and published an entire brand review titled, Brands I Love: First Aid Beauty and the Best Facial Skincare For Sensitive Skin.

If you’re unfamiliar with the brand’s clean facial skincare for sensitive and irritated skin, get acquainted with FAB! Hands down, First Aid Beauty offers some of the best face creams for sensitive skin.

First Aid Beauty was founded in 2009 by Lilli Gordon, a mother, grandmother, and entrepreneur with a background in beauty who, like so many, struggled with sensitive skin. 

All of the brand’s products are formulated to calm inflamed skin, prevent irritation — and deliver nothing that could antagonize the skin, particularly sensitive skin.

FAB uses tried-and-true, soothing ingredients like Colloidal Oatmeal, Oat Kernel Extract, Shea Butter, Feverfew Extract, even honey, at active levels. And nary a drop of denatured alcohol, fragrance or fragrant plant oils. I love that about First Aid Beauty and it’s one of the reasons that I trust them to offer some of the best skincare for sensitive skin.

So sure I was pumped about the brand’s newest eye treatment, the Eye Duty Niacinamide Brightening Eye Cream. As expected, it’s a clean, well-formulated and gentle treatment for around the eyes. But, it’s quite unexpected, too.

The first thing you notice about Eye Duty is its strikingly iridescent orangish hue. If it weren’t in a tiny 15mL pot labeled eye cream, I’d have no idea what it is. Maybe a primer, a concealer, a tone corrector?

FAB says it’s “an illuminating eye cream that visibly brightens, hydrates, and smooths the eye area while helping to reduce the appearance of dark circles over time.”

It’s a rather extensive INCI for an eye cream and I’m going to estimate that Eye Duty contains a concentration of 5% Niacinamide, a healthy dose of the antioxidant power brightener. The inclusion of a truly active level of antioxidant Niacinamide is perhaps my favorite thing about Eye Duty.

Is niacinamide good for dark under eyes?

It can help brighten dark circles. Niacinamide is making an appearance in eye creams these days, and for good reason. "Niacinamide is helpful for the eyes for a combination of safety and efficacy," says Keaney.

Is niacinamide good for eyes?

The researchers found that nicotinamide not only inhibits these cell transformations, but can also reverse that cell transition and slow down the development of eye diseases that may lead to vision loss or blindness.

Do eye brightening creams actually work?

While eye cream has its benefits, it can't do much for reducing undereye puffiness or diminishing dark circles. While eye creams help undereye puffiness, the results are temporary — and require caffeine. "If the eye cream has a high concentration of caffeine, you can temporarily minimize eye puffiness," says Jaliman.
