Wide Awake
Brightening and Depuffing Eye Cream
10ml / 0.33 fl. oz.

Like 10 hours of sleep in a tube, this clinically backed eye cream instantly brightens, smooths, and blurs, helping visibly improve the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines over time. It’s made with a potent yet gentle blend of brightening THD vitamin C, niacinamide, and white shiitake extract. Caffeine plus arnica extract provide a tightening and calming effect while squalane brings fast-plumping hydration. 

Designed to be worn alone or under makeup as a smooth, hydrating base, Wide Awake is available in four flexible, color-correcting tints that help minimize the look of imperfections, sheering out to a soft-focus glow.

You in Wide Awake Brightening Eye Cream

Key ingredients for glowing results

THD Vitamin C + Niacinamide

The most gentle form of Vitamin C visibly brightens skin while helping calm inflammation. Brightening Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) deeply hydrates, supports the skin barrier, and improves the look of fine lines over time.

Caffeine

A powerful antioxidant that helps boost circulation to visibly depuff and awaken tired under eyes. Caffeine also helps protect skin from UV-induced damage, supports firmness, and slows the look of photoaging.

Arnica Montana Flower Extract

Helps calm inflammation and micro swelling in the delicate under-eye area, reducing swelling and discoloration to give the under-eye area a smoother, more even appearance.

Why Molly loves it

“As a founder, a producer, a podcaster, and a mom of three, I’m not exactly clocking a full eight hours. This little tube is my secret weapon to looking like I’ve got it all together. It brightens, depuffs, smooths—and gives that glowy, color-correcting tint I spent months obsessing over. For all my moms, my multitaskers, my do-it-all ladies, this is just as much for you as it is for me!”

Reviews

Great applicator

"This eye cream is great. It doesn kinda sit on the skin and I need to give it a little tap tappy to settle. Its fine. I have carnek skintone. . . this is less concealer and more eye cream. Definitely not thick enough to be worn alone. I actually wear it at night only. It's fine."

Cindy S. (5/5)

Great product

"I really love the peachy shimmer and the cooling applicator. This product is easy to apply and is absorbed well, it also mixes well with my concealer for more coverage. I bought one for a friend who loves it as well! Would recommend and purchase again!"

Jeanne W. (5/5)

Review of Wide Awake Eye Brightening Cream (02-Sheer Peach)

"This is my either my #1 or #2 favorite YSE beauty product, but also just ANY product…PERIOD! It goes on so light & smooth and covers at just the right tone & shade with the glossy and bright finish. It’s THE MOST PERFECT product for a girl like me who only wears makeup on special occasions. It makes your face look bright and alive and glowy without having to wear makeup. This coupled with the SPF 30 Skin Glow Primer are my all time favorite skin care products and believe me, I have done my fair share of dabbling. This product (& the primer) is absolutely AMAZING, PERIOD, but especially if you’re like me and want to still look bright, glowy and refreshed without wearing makeup. I’ll never NOT have these items in my skin care routine & I mean this whole heartedly! Buy it. They are both simple and subtle touches to your routine, but they make a gorgeous and confident boosting difference!! XOXO"

Kathleen L. (1/5)

Great for tired eyes!

"This really does brighten your eyes and depuff them as well. I mix two colors together (Mollys suggestion) and it gives great coverage without hanging onto fine lines."

Jennifer N. (5/5)

Love

"I’m loving this eye cream for its brightening and hydrating effects on the eyes. It’s so light weight and doesn’t crease in the least."

Kimberly B. (5/5)

Awesome eye cream!

"This is the best under eye cream/ brightener I’ve ever used. It goes on silky smooth and does not cake or settle into fine lines. Love it!!"

Adia P. (5/5)

Minimal coverage

"I love the texture of the eye cream and it doesn’t settle but I don’t find the coverage to be more than minimal. I’ve tried 3 different shades? It doesn't bother my extremely sensitive eyes which is wonderful!"

Shannon T. (4/5)

WONDERFUL!!

"I was originally given some samples of the under eye tint @ an event & was immediately hooked. Since then I have ordered every product in this line available. I am loving all of it. I have tried everything under the sun & YSE is the best of the best. If you are worried that it is pricey, it is NOT! You need very little & the products go a long way. I could not recommend any of these products MORE. QUALITY is everything & YSE has it!!! I highly recommend YSE to everyone."

Jill L. (5/5)

Not sure

"I’m not seeing a difference when I use this product. I’m not sure that I’m using it right. I’m gonna keep trying and see if I noticed the difference."

Alexandra R. (3/5)
