The Eyes Are the First to Tell Our Story
The skin around our eyes is the most delicate on the entire face. It is five times thinner than the rest of the face, produces almost no natural oils, and has very few sweat glands. That means this is the area where fatigue, dehydration, and the passage of time show first.
Dark circles, puffiness, and the first fine lines are not enemies — they are signals that this delicate area needs care different from the rest of the face.
In this article, I want to share why we created our Eye Serum, what is inside, and how to apply it step by step to honor the eyes that carry your story.

Why Does the Eye Area Need Its Own Product?
Applying regular face cream around the eyes is not enough, and in some cases it can be counterproductive. Facial moisturizers are designed for stronger skin and often contain ingredients that are too active for this thin area.
A dedicated eye product is formulated with:
•A lighter texture that absorbs without congesting the skin.
•Gentle actives that nurture without irritating.
•Localized application in small doses, so the area is not overloaded.
Ammaterre Eye Serum: Three Ingredients Working in Harmony
When we formulated our Eye Serum, we wanted to do it from a place of simplicity: three natural ingredients that give this area what it truly needs, without overwhelming it.
🌿 Marula Oil — The Natural Decongestant
Extracted from the fruit of the African Marula tree, this oil is rich in antioxidants and vitamins. It is our star ingredient because it reduces the appearance of dark circles and decongests the area, leaving a more rested look.
🥒 Cucumber — The Time-Tested Soother
Cucumber has been used for centuries to refresh and calm the eye area. Its extract delivers an immediate sense of freshness and smooths the surface of the skin, helping reduce puffiness.
💧 Natural Squalane — The Balance Your Skin Recognizes
Squalane is a component your skin produces naturally, but its production decreases with time. When applied, it balances natural oils, brightens the area, and provides the elasticity that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Together, these three ingredients form a botanical blend that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines within seven days of consistent use.

How to Use Our Eye Serum: Step by Step
1.Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser at night.
2.Tone your skin if that is part of your routine.
3.Apply two drops of the Eye Serum on the tip of your ring finger (the gentlest of all your fingers).
4.Tap softly around the eye, moving from the inner corner outward. Never rub or pull the skin.
5.Finish along the bone beneath the eye and lightly upward toward the temples.
6.Wait a few minutes before applying your night cream.
Use the Eye Serum once a day, preferably before bedtime, when the skin enters its renewal phase.
