Radiance Under Eye Balm

The skin around your eyes is thin, and it's usually the first place to show dryness. This under eye balm from Radiance Lux is a rich, creamy formula made to moisturize that delicate area and leave it feeling soft and soothed. Mango seed butter and shea butter handle the comfort, with moisture-supporting botanical oils behind them.

It's an eye balm that melts in the moment you pat it on. Bakuchiol, green coffee seed oil and lycopene (an antioxidant ingredient delivered in jojoba oil) round out the blend, so the eye area feels nourished, smooth and hydrated without any heaviness.

The twist-up under eye balm stick format keeps things neat: swipe, pat, done. If you've been looking for an eye stick that slips into a makeup bag or gym bag, the 0.2 oz size is built for that.

Shoppers searching for the best under eye balm or the best under eye balm stick usually want the same three things: real moisture, ingredients they can actually read, and a texture they'll use morning and night. That's what we aimed for here.

Dryness around the eyes tends to be more noticeable as skin matures, which is why the butters and squalane in this formula make it a strong pick if you're comparing the best under eye balm for mature skin. It's also a fit for anyone who wants an under eye balm for dark circles, with one honest note: a moisturizing balm can't change what causes dark circles, like genetics or sleep. What it does is keep the area hydrated and smooth-looking, and that helps the whole eye area look more rested.

As a hydrating under eye balm, it's made for daily use in a morning and evening routine.

Under Eye Balm FAQ

What is an under eye balm, and how is it different from an eye cream?

An under eye balm is a richer, wax-and-butter based formula made for the thin skin around the eyes. Creams are usually lighter and water-based. A balm sits a little more cushiony, which is why it suits people whose eye area runs dry.

How does this eye balm feel on the skin?

Rich in the stick, then it softens and melts as you pat it in. You should feel soft and conditioned afterward, not greasy. If it feels like too much, use less and pat longer.

How do I use the under eye balm stick?

Twist up a small amount, lightly swipe it under the eye along the orbital bone, then pat with your ring finger until it's absorbed. Do it morning and evening. Keep it away from direct contact with the eyes.

Is this eye stick small enough to travel with?

Yes. It's 0.2 oz and has no jar or lid to fumble with, so it fits easily in a purse, desk drawer or carry-on.

What makes the best under eye balm?

Our short list: a formula that moisturizes without heaviness, ingredients you can recognize, and a texture you'll really apply every day. This balm uses mango and shea butters, squalane and botanical oils for exactly that.

What should I look for in the best under eye balm stick?

Look for a stick that stays firm enough to apply cleanly but softens on contact with skin. The beeswax and candelilla wax here give it structure, and body heat melts it in as you pat.

Is this the best under eye balm for mature skin?

We can't call anything the best for everyone, but it's formulated for the dryness that shows up around mature eyes. Mango and shea butters, squalane and bakuchiol are all there to keep skin feeling soft and smooth. Browse more in our skin care for older skin collection.

Will an under eye balm for dark circles make them disappear?

No, and we won't claim it does. Dark circles come from things like genetics, sleep and skin thickness. A balm keeps the area hydrated and smooth-looking, which can make the eye area look fresher, but it's a moisturizer, not a treatment.

Is this a hydrating under eye balm?

Yes. Mango seed butter, shea butter, squalane and jojoba oil work together to help replenish moisture around the eyes. For all-over hydration, pair it with our Daily Repair Crème.

How often should I use an under eye balm for mature skin?

Twice a day, morning and evening, is the routine this balm is made for. Consistency matters more than quantity, so a small amount each time is plenty.

What should the best under eye balm stick for mature skin feel like?

Cushiony and comfortable, with a smooth finish and no tug. This one glides on and melts in, so you don't have to drag at delicate skin to apply it.

Can I use under eye balm before makeup?

Yes. Apply it after cleansing and your serum, pat it in, and give it a minute before concealer or foundation. Start with a small amount so makeup doesn't slip. Need a clean start? Try our Purifying Foam Cleanser.

Does an under eye balm for puffiness work?

This balm isn't a puffiness treatment, and we don't claim it reduces swelling. What it does is soothe and moisturize the area so it feels comfortable and looks smooth. Puffiness that persists is worth bringing up with your doctor.

How much do I use as an under eye balm for under makeup?

Less than you think. A thin layer patted in and left for a minute is enough. Too much of any balm under makeup can make concealer slide.

Is this an under eye balm for men too?

Absolutely. Nothing about it is gendered, and the plain stick format is quick to use. See our men's moisturizers for more.
