A Korean Skincare Must Try: TirTir Eye Cream Review

| ,

I have always used an eye cream but didn’t necessarily have any that I was loyal to because many felt similar in terms of texture and results. But I’ve been testing quite a few over the past year and have narrowed down a handful of formulas that I truly love. It it important to use a separate eye cream rather than applying your regular moisturizers to the eye area. The under eye area is the most delicate and thinnest skin on the face and requires a product that is formulated with this in mind. Eye creams address different issues but the most common concerns are darkness, puffiness, fine lines, dehydration and loss of elasticity. It’s important to find one that is targeted to treat exactly what your issues are in order to ensure you will get the most out of that product. Just because something is labeled as an eye cream doesn’t necessarily mean that it is right for you. Try to identify what your concerns are with your eye area and then begin your search by looking for products that specifically say they address those issues. For me, I want my eye cream to help firm, hydrate and smooth. I discovered TirTir products last year after seeing them all over my social media (mainly Tiktok). So many people were raving about this Korean beauty brand named TirTir and decided to try their viral cushion foundation first. I instantly fell in love with it and have since tried so many of their products since then which are now regular parts of my skincare and makeup routine. The TirTir Collagen Lifting Eye Cream is the most recent product I’ve been testing from them and loved it so much that I wanted to dedicate an entire blog post to it. I’ll share more about the formula, who I think it would be best for and where to buy it.

TirTir Eye Cream Review

Since my under eye concerns are focused around hydration, firmness and smoothing, the Tir Tir Collagen Lifting Eye Cream seemed like the perfect fit for me. From the first time I tried it, I absolutely LOVED the applicator and way the product felt on my skin. I’ve been using it for the past two months exclusively and wanted to wait until I was using it long enough to feel I could give a proper review on my experience.

What Is TirTir Eye Cream?

The TirTir Collagen Lifting Eye Cream is an eye cream formulated to build collagen, erase fine lines and strengthen the skin. It contains plant-based collagen that helps soften deep wrinkles and fine lines while also building a shield on the skin that allows it to retain moisture. Dehydration especially around the eye shows itself in the form of loss of elasticity and fine lines. The main ingredients of the formula are niacinamide which helps brighten and even out the skin tone, avocado oil to deeply nourish and hydrate, a plant-derived collagen complex + 5 peptides to enhance elasticity, smooth fine lines and firm. In addition, it contains adenosine which boosts collagen production, reduces wrinkles and helps to calm sensitive skin. Even those with sensitive skin or eczema-prone skin can use this eye cream because of it’s super gentle yet effective formula.

One of my favorite parts of this eye cream is the metal ball applicator that allows for a precise placement while providing a comforting massage to help reduce puffiness and improve absorption. It’s a lightweight gel-like texture that absorbs almost instantly while still providing intense hydration.

What Are the Pros and Cons of the TirTir Collagen Lifting Eye Cream?

Pros

Price Point – The price point of this eye cream is incredibly affordable given the effectiveness of this formulation. I have found that most Korean skincare is priced well below U.S. brands but their formulations are often better and more advanced then their American counterparts. This eye cream is priced at $24 for .5 fl oz.

Application – I instantly fell in love with the metal ball applicator and how the perfect amount of product is dispensed with just one push of the button. The size of the metal ball is perfect and fits easily under the eye. It rolls without getting stuck and the product is applied evenly without even having to blend it out with your fingers.

Formulated for Sensitive Skin – If you have sensitive skin or even eczema-prone skin, this eye cream is a great option to use. It’s efficacious while still being very gentle.

Suitable for All Ages – I do find that the older you are, the most results you will get from certain skincare products. If you have very few lines and wrinkles or no loss of firmness due to age, you may not see the same level of change that someone who is more mature would see. So it’s often a waste of money to invest in something that is targeted for certain anti-aging concerns, if you are in your 20’s or 30’s. However, this is one of those products that would work well for almost any age. It’s incredibly hydrating and soothing which would greatly benefit someone younger, but it also helps to firm and tighten for those who are more mature.

Great For All Skin Types – This eye cream is formulated for all skin types – dry, combination, oily or normal. It’s lightweight enough for those with oily skin but still incredibly nourishing for those with dry skin.

Cons

Availability – There are a few places to purchase the eye cream from but it’s not as widely available in the U.S. as other American brands. Also if you are not as familiar with Korean beauty sites, you may be hesitant to purchase from them. All of the stores that I share in this post are authentic sites that have been verified sellers for TirTir.

Unfamiliarity with the brand – Even though Korean beauty and skincare in increasing in popularity in the U.S., many people are still hesitant to try products from brands they may never have heard of. In fact, when I first shared a review of the TirTir cushion foundation, a reader sent me a direct message asking if TirTir was a reputable brand because she was worried about purchasing a product from a brand she was not familiar with. TirTir is actually one of the most popular and trusted brands in Korea and has been around for many years. In my experience, the formulations and products coming out of Korea are some of the best I have ever tried. The truth is that the Korean beauty market is light years ahead of the American market in terms of innovation and technology. Many of the Korean beauty products I have tried are insanely effective and often priced lower than 80% of the brands I purchase from Sephora.

 Is the TirTir Eye Cream Worth It?

I absolutely think the TirTir Collagen Lifting Eye Cream is worth trying and I plan to repurchase it as soon its done. Because it’s such an effective yet universal formula, I think all skin types and any age range could benefit from using this. If your main concern is only dark circles, then this may not be the best option for you. It does contain ingredients to help brighten slightly but it would be best to invest in an eye cream targeted specifically for dark circles and brightening.

TirTir Eye Cream Before and After

Dehydration and fine lines around my eyes are my biggest concerns most days and the TirTir Collagen Lifting Eye Cream makes my under eye area so well hydrated. Under makeup or alone, the hydration lasts all day long. It minimizes the appearance of my fine lines and makes the area look smooth and healthy. It also wears beautifully under makeup so I love using it to prep my eyes before I apply my concealer.

More Eye Creams and Eye Masks That I Love and Use

Dieux Forever Eye Masks

If you find yourself repurchasing eye masks and under eye gels constantly and want to find an alternative option that still gives great results, the Dieux Forever Eye Masks are a great choice. The Forever Eye Masks were the first product launched by Dieux Skincare. They focused on the idea of sustainability and getting more out of your current eye creams and serums. These masks are made with medical grade silicone and are designed to be reused over and over. Apply them over your favorite eye cream or serum for a more targeted treatment and better absorption. Using the Forever Eye Masks allow the products to fully sink in. And leave the eye area looking hydrated and better prepped for the day.

OneSkin OS-01 Eye Topical Supplement (use code: MAREE15 to save)

The eye area is often the place where we see the signs of aging occur first so this eye cream targets all the same concerns as the face supplement but in a richer formulation. The Eye Topical Supplement contains the patented OS-01 peptide so it addresses all the same issues as the face cream. If you struggle with dehydration and dry under eyes, this is the most gloriously rich formula that will help bring moisture back to this area. I personally love to use it during my morning routine because it preps the skin under my eyes perfectly for makeup and concealer. In addition to helping moisturize the delicate skin under the eyes, it will help  firm sagging skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

The skin around the eye is one of the thinnest on the entire body so the OS-01 eye is formulated to treat it differently than the rest of the face. Looking at the before and after images that they have on their website, one of the biggest things I noticed was the reduction in inflammation around the eye which can cause the puffy tired look that so many of us struggle with. A small amount is all you need to treat both eyes and can be used both morning and night. (use code: MAREE15 to save)

Colleen Rothschild Illuminating Tinted Eye Cream

The Illuminating Tinted Eye Cream is a formula designed to nourish, brighten and correct. It has a slight peach tint which helps to brighten and counteract any dark circles. This is a lightweight eye cream with peach-colored illuminating pigments designed to revitalize tired eyes. It helps to treat under-eye darkness, fine lines, dryness and puffiness. It contains active ingredients hyaluronic acid to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as caffeine to reduce puffiness. The peachy tint helps to neutralize blue undertones making the area appear more even toned. Since there is a tint to this eye cream, it is best used during the day either worn alone or under makeup. For me this works wonders as immediately brightening up my under eye area without adding too much coverage.
