Tired eyes, C’est la Vie, but it doesn’t have to be.

C’est la (C)Sea is a Vitamin C + Sea Active = CC (Color Correcting) power gel for the under eyes. Triple-action brightening that works immediately and builds over time, because a bright future deserves both.

A loose, cooling gel that breaks on contact and pats effortlessly into the under-eye, setting to a smooth, dry-silk finish. A sheer peach-gold tint neutralizes discoloration, reflects light and shifts tone for a more radiant under-eye area, effortlessly wearable alone or layered cleanly under makeup.

A stable, oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative thrives where other forms degrade, working beyond the surface to support brighter, more even-looking skin over time. Seanactiv, a clinically studied marine algae active, targets dark circles, crow’s feet and uneven texture at the source, visibly improving tone, firmness and vibrancy with every use.

Results are immediate and cumulative. Dark circles look softened on contact. The under-eye looks smoother, more refined, more alive. Non-tacky, never heavy, always hydrated. For the woman who does it all, lives it well, and still looks like she slept.
