YOUR JOURNEY

WHAT TO EXPECT

FIRST USE

Dark circles reduce as soon as it goes on, and the puffiness comes down over the next few minutes.

WEEK 1

You look less tired first thing, on the mornings that usually show it.

WEEK 2

The area looks smoother and more even. This is usually the point someone else notices before you do.

MONTH 1

Dark circles and fine lines look softer, and the change holds through the day rather than the first hour.*

ONGOING

You stop thinking about your eyes. They look the same on the days you are tired as the days you are not.

*Independent trial, 111 volunteers (mean age 42), 15 days.

THE TWO CLOCKS

Most skincare asks you to choose. Something that works today and does nothing to your skin, or something that changes your skin in eight weeks and does nothing this morning. The same statements, measured on both clocks.

WHY WE STARTED HERE

“We started here because this is what men were actually searching for. Not skincare. Tired eyes.
It’s the fastest thing we make. Put it on and the dark circles reduce straight away, because the light-reflecting minerals go to work the moment they’re on the skin. The puffiness comes down over the next few minutes.
That was deliberate. Men want to see something happen, and most of this category asks you to wait a month before it gives you anything.
What it does underneath takes longer. The wild ginger and the marine actives work on the circles and the fine lines over the weeks, so it keeps getting better the longer you use it.
It’s the product men tell us they notice first, and the one they replace without thinking about it.”

Great So Far
I am new to the YCODE universe, my entry point being the Well Kept Advanced Eye Serum. So far it's been really great, as advertised. For the last few years I've been raiding my wife's Korean skin care supply, and I finally decided to branch out on my own. Going to add some more YCODE items to my shelf for sure.

Good for waking the eyes up first thing in the morning, with a refreshing coolness that reduces any puffiness. Feels nice to apply and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. It's become a simple, satisfying part of my morning routine.

Serene Serum
First time using the advanced eye serum and after testing many other so called advanced eye cream brands this actually works .. it's a first ! Lovely smooth texture that seems to liven the very soul of your eye area, smoother lines, less dark shades more brightening and reduced puff. Love the idea of the skin tone options and adore the calm & cool packaging. I'm in for more !
