Here's an honest look at the Fundamental Nourishing Eye Butter.
What it is, in one minute
- A soft, butter-like eye cream that cushions dry-feeling skin around the eyes.
- What's inside: sunflower seed oil, betaine, panthenol, sodium hyaluronate, adenosine, niacinamide, caffeine and a peptide group (copper tripeptide-1, oligopeptide-29 and -32, acetyl hexapeptide-8).
- No fragrance or essential oils on the ingredient list.
- Size and PAO: 20 g; 12 months after opening.
It's a good fit if…
- The skin around your eyes feels dry or tight, especially in winter.
- You want a richer night eye step for skin that looks crepey (see caring for crepey-looking skin).
- You prefer a cushioned finish to a fast-absorbing gel.
Skip it — or pair it — if…
- You want a light, cooling morning step under concealer — the Fundamental Eye Awakening Gel fits better (see eye gel vs eye butter).
- You're prone to small white bumps (milia) around the eyes with rich creams — use a very small amount or a gel.
- You want a big de-puffing effect — a cooling eye patch is more targeted.
How to use it
- Take a rice-grain amount per eye.
- Warm it on your ring finger and tap it along the orbital bone.
- Use at night, or in the morning if your eyes feel dry, before moisturizer.
