Frequently asked questions
FAQYes! This eye cream is completely safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreens. The plant-based formula with Persian Silk Tree, Hibiscus, and Oat Extract provides gentle yet effective care for the delicate eye area.
No, this product is NOT fungal acne safe. It contains several ingredients that can feed Malassezia yeast, including: Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate (ferment), Shea Butter, Marula Seed Oil, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, and Glyceryl Stearates. If you have fungal acne, consider CeraVe Eye Repair Cream or Good Molecules Yerba Mate Eye Gel instead.
Yes, you can use this eye cream with other active ingredients. Apply it as a hydrating layer after your active serums. However, if using retinol around the eyes, apply this cream first as a buffer to reduce potential irritation. The Hibiscus contains gentle AHAs, so avoid layering with strong exfoliating acids directly on the eye area to prevent over-exfoliation.
This eye cream works best for dry, normal, combination, and sensitive skin types. The emollient-rich formula with Shea Butter and Marula Oil provides excellent hydration for those with dry under-eyes. Sensitive skin types benefit from the fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested formula. Those with very oily or acne-prone skin may find it slightly too rich and should use a thin layer.
Results vary by concern: Immediate hydration and cooling sensation upon first use. Reduced puffiness within 2-4 weeks of consistent use. Noticeable improvement in dark circles typically takes 4-8 weeks. For best results, use morning and night consistently. The eye area loses moisture 50% faster than the rest of your face, so regular application is key.
Apply after cleansing and toning, before heavier serums and moisturizers. The suggested order is: Cleanser → Toner → Eye Cream → Serum → Moisturizer → SPF (morning only). Eye creams go on before facial serums because the eye area is more delicate and needs targeted treatment before heavier products are applied.
This eye cream has a comedogenic rating of 2 out of 5 (low-moderate). The main potentially comedogenic ingredient is Shea Butter, which rates 0-2 on the comedogenic scale. Most users tolerate it well, but if you're highly acne-prone or experience milia easily, patch test first. The formula is oil-free in terms of heavy mineral oils but does contain plant-based oils.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. Look for the open jar symbol on the packaging with "12M" indicated. The 0.5 fl oz tube typically lasts 2-3 months with twice-daily use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The tube can be refrigerated for an extra cooling effect when applying.
Verdict: Cocokind Revitalizing Eye Cream is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a clean, affordable eye cream that effectively addresses dark circles and puffiness. The unique combination of Persian Silk Tree, Hibiscus Flower Acids, and Oat Extract delivers gentle yet noticeable results. The cooling metal applicator is a standout feature that makes application feel luxurious. While it's not suitable for those with fungal acne and lacks anti-aging peptides for deep wrinkles, it excels at hydration, brightening, and depuffing. Perfect for clean beauty enthusiasts, sensitive skin types, and anyone pregnant or breastfeeding who needs a safe, effective eye treatment.

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.

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.

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.
