The under-eye area is very delicate, and active ingredients like kojic acid, glycolic acid, and arbutin can sometimes irritate if applied too close to the eyes. Your dermatologist may have recommended this product based on your individual condition. However, since these ingredients mainly target pigmentation (dark circles) rather than puffiness, it’s important to clarify with your doctor whether the goal is to treat dark circles or swelling. Use the cream only under their guidance to ensure safety and effectiveness.
