Paula's Choice C5 Super Boost Eye Cream 0.5 fl oz — 5% Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid for Brightening and Fine-Line Smoothing

Paula's Choice C5 Super Boost Eye Cream is a concentrated, fragrance-free eye treatment that uses 5% stabilized vitamin C with hyaluronic acid and peptides to brighten dark circles, reduce puffiness, and smooth fine lines.

This lightweight eye cream is formulated to address common under-eye concerns—discoloration, dullness, loss of firmness, and dehydration—using a multi-active blend designed for delicate eye skin. The formula combines a clinically proven 5% pure, stabilized vitamin C complex with zerumbone (an antioxidant from ginger), hyaluronic acid for immediate and lasting hydration, and peptides that support collagen and elasticity. Packaged in an air-tight, opaque dispenser, the cream is protected from light and air to preserve potency through every pump.

How does this eye cream help reduce dark circles and uneven tone?

The stabilized 5% vitamin C complex targets visible discoloration and dullness around the eye area by supporting skin’s natural radiance. Zerumbone enhances antioxidant protection, helping to combat environmental contributors to uneven tone. Together the actives promote a brighter, more even-looking under-eye area without harsh exfoliation.

• 5% pure, stabilized vitamin C to support brightness
• Zerumbone antioxidant from ginger to reduce oxidative stress
• Lightweight texture absorbs quickly under makeup

Will this formula hydrate and smooth fine lines without feeling heavy?

Yes — hyaluronic acid in the formula attracts and holds moisture to plump the under-eye skin, while reparative peptides help support collagen and elasticity for smoother texture. The cream is designed to be lightweight, fast-absorbing and compatible with makeup and sunscreen layering.

• Multi-weight hyaluronic acid for immediate and lasting hydration
• Peptides to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and crow’s feet
• Non-greasy finish suitable for daytime and nighttime use

Is this suitable for sensitive skin and everyday use?

Paula's Choice formulates this product to be gentle yet effective, with no added fragrance and rigorous testing for sensitivity. The air-tight, opaque packaging preserves active stability, which minimizes potential irritation from degraded ingredients. Most skin types — including sensitive — can incorporate this cream into daily routines, ideally after cleansing and before sunscreen in the morning, and after serums at night.

• Fragrance-free and dermatologically tested for compatibility
• Air-tight dispenser keeps actives stable to reduce irritation risk
• Suitable for normal, dry, oily, combination and sensitive skin

How should I use it for best results and where does it fit in my routine?

Apply a small amount to the orbital bone morning and evening for consistent results; gentle tapping helps absorption without stretching delicate skin. Use it after lightweight serums and before moisturizers and sunscreen. Because vitamin C is included, pairing with broad-spectrum sunscreen during daytime enhances protection and long-term benefits.

• Use sparingly—one to two small dots per eye is enough
• Apply after serums and before creams; layer under sunscreen in AM
• Consistent use over weeks supports visible improvement

Who is this for: Paula's Choice C5 Super Boost Eye Cream is suited for anyone seeking targeted under-eye improvement—people fighting discoloration, puffiness, dryness, or early fine lines who want a science-backed, fragrance-free option. It’s especially useful for those who prefer potent, stabilized vitamin C in a gentle eye formulation and who value packaging that preserves ingredient effectiveness. If you have severe eye conditions or very reactive skin, patch-test first or consult a dermatologist before full use.
