Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSCamellia Sinensis Leaf Extract ~0.2-0.4%Promising
Green tea leaf extract from Jeju Island packed with polyphenols (EGCG, ECG) that provide antioxidant protection against free radical damage. It also has anti-inflammatory and mild antibacterial properties beneficial for the sensitive eye area.
- Antioxidant: Polyphenol catechins neutralize free radicals from UV exposure and environmental stressors
- Anti-inflammatory: L-theanine and polyphenols help soothe irritation and calm inflamed blood vessels
- Hydration: Studies show topical green tea extract can boost skin elasticity and hydration levels
Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil ~0.2-0.4%Promising
Tea seed oil expressed from dried kernels of the green tea plant. Rich in oleic acid, it acts as an effective emollient that draws and retains moisture in the skin while providing a protective lipid layer.
- Emollient: Oleic acid content softens the upper skin layer and restores the skin barrier
- Antioxidant: Contains Vitamin E and polyphenols that may help slow signs of aging
- Anti-inflammatory: Helps soothe redness and calm delicate periorbital skin
Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) ~0.5-1%Proven
A well-studied humectant and skin-conditioning agent that converts to Vitamin B5 in the skin. Panthenol attracts and binds water, strengthens the moisture barrier, and promotes wound healing for healthier under-eye skin.
- Barrier Repair: Stimulates lipid synthesis in the skin barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss
- Humectant: Attracts moisture from the environment and deeper skin layers to hydrate the surface
- Soothing: Anti-inflammatory properties help calm irritated or stressed skin
Glycerin ~3-5%Proven
A classic humectant naturally found in human skin. Glycerin's low molecular weight allows it to pull moisture deep into the skin layers, improving hydration, elasticity, and barrier function.
- Deep Hydration: Draws water from the environment and dermis to keep the outer skin layers plump
- Barrier Support: Improves the skin barrier, helping protect against irritants and bacteria
- Antimicrobial: Has documented antimicrobial and antiviral properties
Dimethicone & Silicones ~2-4%Proven
A combination of Dimethicone, Methyl Trimethicone, and Cyclopentasiloxane creates a smooth, silky finish. These silicones act as occlusives, locking in moisture and temporarily smoothing the appearance of fine lines.
- Occlusive: Reduces transepidermal water loss by forming a breathable protective film
- Smoothing: Temporarily fills in fine lines and creates a velvety skin surface
- Non-comedogenic: Dimethicone is generally well-tolerated and non-pore-clogging

Pat and Massage
Using your ring finger (lightest touch), gently pat and massage any excess serum into the skin until fully absorbed. Avoid pulling or tugging the delicate eye area.
Follow Up
Continue with your serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen (AM). For extra depuffing, store the roll-on in your fridge before use for a boosted cooling effect.

- You enjoy a cooling, massage-like application ritual in your routine
- You love K-beauty and green tea-based skincare

Consider alternatives if:
- You have fungal acne (malassezia) around the eye area — this formula is not FA-safe
- You need aggressive anti-aging with retinol, peptides, or vitamin C for deep wrinkles

- You want a richer, more occlusive eye cream for very dry or mature skin
- You prefer fragrance-free eye care products

Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESLightweight serum absorbs without adding greasiness. Silicones give a smooth finish, though some oily-skin users may find the dewy finish slightly too moisturizing for the under-eye area in humid weather.
This is where the product shines. Glycerin, panthenol, and green tea seed oil deliver layered hydration. Ideal for dry, tight under-eyes. May still need a heavier eye cream on top during winter months.
Hydrates the typically drier orbital area without interfering with oilier zones. The lightweight texture balances well and layers effortlessly under other products.
Contains fragrance/parfum and five fragrance allergens (Linalool, Limonene, etc.) which may cause irritation for reactive skin. Patch test recommended. Otherwise, the base formula is gentle.
Comedogenic rating of 2/5 due to Cetearyl Alcohol and Glyceryl Stearate. Not fungal acne safe. Generally fine for the eye area specifically, but those prone to milia near the eyes should use sparingly.

Frequently asked questions
FAQUse with caution. While this product does not contain retinoids, salicylic acid, or hydroquinone, it does include Fragrance/Parfum along with fragrance allergens such as Linalool, Limonene, Butylphenyl Methylpropional (Lilial), Citronellol, and Hexyl Cinnamal. Butylphenyl Methylpropional in particular has been flagged for reproductive toxicity concerns and has been banned in the EU since 2022. Consult your healthcare provider before using during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
No, this product is not fungal acne safe. It contains several ingredients that can feed Malassezia yeast, including Cetearyl Alcohol (fatty alcohol), Glyceryl Stearate (ester), Stearic Acid (fatty acid), and Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil (contains oleic acid). If you are prone to fungal acne or perioral dermatitis, consider a fungal-acne-safe alternative.
Yes, this product is generally compatible with retinol, vitamin C, AHAs, and BHAs since it does not contain any conflicting active ingredients. Its hydrating and soothing formula can actually help buffer any dryness or irritation caused by actives. Apply your actives first, let them absorb, then follow with the eye roll-on for hydration. If using retinol at night, the panthenol and glycerin in this serum can help soothe the eye area.
This product is best suited for normal, dry, and combination skin types that need hydration around the eye area. It performs excellently for dry under-eyes and combination skin. Those with oily skin will find it lightweight enough to use without heaviness. However, sensitive skin types should be cautious due to the fragrance content, and it is not ideal for those prone to fungal acne.
Immediate effects include cooling relief, reduced puffiness sensation, and instant hydration. Clinical testing showed a 23% improvement in hydration and 13% reduction in puffiness after just one use. After two weeks of consistent AM/PM use, 96% of participants felt their eyes looked brighter and less tired. For long-term barrier strengthening and sustained hydration, expect 4-8 weeks of regular use.
Apply after cleansing, toning, and essence, but before heavier serums, moisturizers, and sunscreen. In a Korean skincare routine, it fits at step 4 — after essence and before facial serum. Use twice daily, morning and night. It can be used on its own or layered under the innisfree Intensive Hydrating Eye Cream for extra nourishment.
The product has a comedogenic rating of approximately 2 out of 5. It contains Cetearyl Alcohol (comedogenic rating 2), Glyceryl Stearate (rated 2-3), and Stearic Acid (rated 2). While these are unlikely to cause breakouts for most people, especially when applied only to the eye area, those who are very prone to milia or closed comedones around the eyes should patch test first and use sparingly.
The product has a Period After Opening (PAO) of 12 months. At 10ml with twice-daily use, most users report the bottle lasting approximately 2-3 months depending on how much product is dispensed per pump. Store in a cool, dry place (or refrigerator) and keep the rollerball clean to maximize shelf life and hygiene.
Verdict: The innisfree Intensive Hydrating Eye Roll-On with Green Tea Seed is a solid, affordable K-beauty entry point for anyone seeking lightweight under-eye hydration with a satisfying cooling application experience. The rollerball applicator is the real star — it genuinely helps depuff morning puffiness and makes the skincare ritual feel luxurious. However, the formula itself is relatively basic: green tea extract and seed oil are present at low concentrations, and there are no advanced actives like caffeine, peptides, or niacinamide for dark circles or anti-aging. The presence of fragrance and non-FA-safe ingredients limits its suitability for sensitive and fungal-acne-prone users. Best for: hydration-focused individuals who value the rollerball experience and a gentle, nourishing formula for their daily eye care routine.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
