All the benefits of retinol, targeted for the most delicate area of your skin. This gentle, effective formula visibly softens lines and wrinkles while firming skin and restoring bounce.

For: Fine lines + Firmness

This lightweight balm helps firm up crepey skin, while being gentle on the delicate area around your eyes. Granactive retinoid (a gentler, less irritating form of retinol) reforms texture to soften the appearance of crow’s feet and reduce milia. Shiitake mushroom extract supports the skin’s moisture barrier, and nourishing antioxidants like vitamin E and black currant seed oil to help protect against premature signs of aging.

Net wt. 0.42 oz. / 12 g

How: Gently tap it into the skin with your ring finger. Skip moisturizer on this area (you won’t need it), but don’t forget SPF the next day.
Where: The undereyes. Start at the inner corners and move up towards the temples.
When: Every PM after applying serums but before using facial moisturizer and/or oil.

Good to Know: Your ring finger naturally has the lightest touch, so use it to apply eye products and avoid pulling.

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Keep out of reach of children.

Reviews Summary
Customers say this eye balm smooths and softens the under-eye area effectively. Many reviews mention its buttery texture and how a small amount goes a long way. The balm works well for nighttime use, though some find it too heavy for daytime wear. While most users notice improvements in skin texture, a few report it's too thick or difficult to spread. Frequent comments address how makeup applies smoothly over the product. Reviews indicate it's particularly appreciated by long-term users, with many noting they're repeat purchasers.

    I really like this versed product. It’s not as harsh on the skin as regular retinol. I’ve used this product to help here and there with my eye areas for years. I’ve never had an irritation or redness with it. It’s truly done a very good job for me. I’d recommend it to others. I only wish it were a little bigger container size. A little does last a good while though. Thank you.

    Works great!

    I haven’t had this product very long yet, but it’s seems great on my Milia that I struggle to get rid of! So I will definitely continue to use this under eye treatment to see how well it continues to work for me! Love it so far!

    Such a treat for my eyes

    I use the Smooth Landing day and night. Skin is softer and less puffy. Final step I needed in my skin care routine. Versed to the rescue again!

    Favorite eye cream

    So, I’ve used more eye creams than the number of years almost all of you have been alive (not collectively). This is my all-time favorite, and it’s so incredibly affordable (for some people). The texture is kind of waxy. Gently tap it around your eyes. It will keep that delicate skin hydrated throughout the day. It also imparts a dewy glow, which you may not want, so bear that in mind. I’ve used outrageously expensive eye creams. This is the one I choose.
