The delicate skin around the eyes is often the first place to show visible signs of ageing. Because it is thinner, more sensitive, and lacks oil glands compared to the rest of the face, this area is especially prone to fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles. That’s why a targeted eye treatment is essential for a complete anti-ageing skincare routine.
At Pt78 Skin and Body, we offer high-performance eye treatments that blend botanical extracts with scientifically proven actives. Alongside our Pt78 range, we proudly stock SkinCeuticals—a brand globally recognised for its advanced, dermatologist-recommended eye care solutions.
Why Invest in an Eye Cream?
Some people wonder if eye creams are really necessary—can’t your regular moisturiser do the job? The answer lies in formulation.
Eye creams are specifically designed to:
Target thin, delicate under-eye skin without causing irritation.
Contain smaller molecule actives for better absorption.
Address issues like puffiness, dark circles, and crow’s feet.
Strengthen capillaries and boost collagen around the eye area.
Regular moisturisers are too heavy for this sensitive skin and may even lead to puffiness. A targeted formula ensures results without compromise.
Pt78 Illuminate Eye Cream: Natural Brightening and Firming
Our Pt78 Illuminate Eye Cream is crafted with a blend of Australian botanicals and natural actives to refresh and brighten tired eyes.
Key ingredients include:
Cucumber Seed Oil: Hydrating and soothing, packed with vitamin E.
Kakadu Plum Extract: Rich in vitamin C, supports collagen production and reduces fine lines.
Quandong Extract: Boosts brightness, combats oxidative stress, and reduces visible signs of ageing.
This lightweight, vegan formula is designed for daily use and is perfect for those seeking a natural yet effective solution for puffiness and dark circles.
SkinCeuticals: Clinically Proven Eye Treatments
For those who want dermatology-grade results, SkinCeuticals offers some of the world’s most trusted eye products.
Formulated specifically to reduce dark circles and crepiness, this cream targets visible signs of ageing caused by glycation—a process that weakens collagen. With peptides and flavonoids, it brightens and firms.
A cutting-edge serum-in-gel texture, AOX+ Eye Gel contains vitamin C, ferulic acid, and phloretin to protect against oxidative stress while reducing puffiness and fine lines.
Best suited for mature skin, this balm nourishes while improving firmness and elasticity, reducing the depth of wrinkles.
Together, these options cover every eye concern—from puffiness to dark circles to advanced wrinkles.
Choosing the Right Eye Treatment
Not every eye cream is right for every concern. Here’s a simple guide:
For dark circles and tired-looking eyes: Pt78 Illuminate Eye Cream or SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Advanced Eye.
For puffiness and morning swelling: SkinCeuticals AOX+ Eye Gel, with antioxidants to energise and depuff.
For fine lines and wrinkles: Pt78 Illuminate or SkinCeuticals Eye Balm for deep hydration and firming.
For preventative care in your 20s and 30s: Lightweight formulas like Pt78 Illuminate provide daily antioxidant protection.
How to Apply Eye Cream Correctly
Even the best product won’t deliver results if applied incorrectly. Follow these steps:
Use a rice-grain-sized amount for both eyes.
Apply gently with your ring finger (least pressure).
Tap lightly under the eye and along the orbital bone—don’t rub.
Use morning and night for consistent results.
Layer under sunscreen during the day to protect from UV-related ageing.
Combining Eye Creams with Serums and Moisturisers
The eye area benefits most when part of a complete routine:
Morning: Start with SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Vitamin C Serum on the face, follow with AOX+ Eye Gel, then lock in hydration with SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore.
Evening: Apply Pt78 Refine A Retinol for cell turnover, followed by Pt78 Illuminate Eye Cream and Pt78 Moisture+ Hydrating Moisturiser.
This ensures your eye cream works in harmony with the rest of your routine for maximum results.

Eye creams are not a luxury—they’re a necessity if you want to maintain youthful, bright, and firm skin.

Advanced Eye, we have the right product to target your unique concerns.
