What's the main difference between using this serum and a regular eye cream, and how should I layer it with other skincare?

The primary difference is texture and formulation focus. This product is a serum, meaning it has a lighter, often more aqueous consistency than a typical eye cream, which is usually an emulsion (a blend of water and oils). Its key ingredients—hyaluronic acid, polyglutamic acid, aloe vera—are humectants that work by attracting and holding moisture. This makes it particularly suitable for those who find creams too heavy, prefer a quick-absorbing layer before makeup, or want to target dehydration and a dull look. For layering: apply it to clean, slightly damp skin after your toner or essence. Allow it a minute to absorb. You can then follow with a richer eye cream if you need additional emollient or occlusive properties, especially in very dry climates or for nighttime routines. If using a treatment serum elsewhere on your face (like a vitamin C or retinol), apply those first, then use this eye serum specifically on the contour area.
