Squeeze a rice-grain amount onto the metal tip and dot it under each eye along the orbital bone — the ridge you can feel about a finger-width below the lash line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePat it in with your ring finger rather than dragging. The skin there is thin, and patting moves less of it. Keep the cream off the lash line and out of the eye itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould a retinol and vitamin C eye cream go on morning or night?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNight is the simpler slot, because retinol and ascorbic acid both prefer to sit undisturbed and neither needs daylight. If you use it in the morning instead, follow with sunscreen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf retinol is new to you, start at two or three nights a week for the first two weeks, then move to nightly once the skin has settled. The 15 ml tube lasts roughly two to three months at a rice-grain dose per eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore you use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor external use only. Keep it out of the eyes; if it gets in, rinse with plenty of water. Avoid broken or irritated skin, and stop using it if redness, swelling, or itching develops — the Korean label also notes to consult a specialist if that happens after sun exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your skin is reactive, patch test on the inner forearm for a day or two before the first full application. If you are pregnant or nursing, check with your doctor before using any retinol product. Read the full ingredient list on the box if you have known sensitivities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReading the label\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure ascorbic acid vs vitamin C derivatives — what is the difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePure ascorbic acid differs from derivatives such as 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate in that it is vitamin C in its unconverted form. Derivatives are more stable in a jar but have to convert on the skin first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnconverted ascorbic acid needs an acidic base to stay stable, which is why this formula is built at pH 4.6. The ingredient list carries both approaches: ascorbic acid second from the top, and three derivatives further down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRetinol vs HPR (hydroxypinacolone retinoate) — how do they differ?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRetinol differs from HPR in that retinol converts inside the skin in two steps before it reaches its active form, while HPR is an ester of retinoic acid that binds retinoid receptors directly, without that conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKorean formulas often list the two together — the marketing shorthand is \"double retinol\" — and Orthotamin lists them at 1,000 ppm combined. The tube also lists retinyl palmitate, the gentlest retinoid of the three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this Mommy Care Orthotamin Vitamin C Eye Cream authentic and made in Korea?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Orthotamin Vitamin C Eye Cream is made in Korea for Mommy Care, with Olive International Co., Ltd. (올리브인터내셔널) as the Korean responsible distributor. Kosbee buys it into US stock and ships sealed 0.5 fl oz (15 ml) tubes from our own New Jersey warehouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you apply Orthotamin Vitamin C Eye Cream?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it after cleansing and toner. Squeeze a rice-grain amount onto the metal tip, dot it under each eye along the orbital bone, and pat it in with your ring finger rather than dragging. Keep it off the lash line, and follow with sunscreen if you apply it in the morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this eye cream use pure vitamin C or a vitamin C derivative?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt lists both. Ascorbic acid — pure, unconverted vitamin C — sits second on the ingredient list at 10,000 ppm, which is 1% of the formula, sourced from the United Kingdom at 99% assay. Three derivatives are also listed: 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does Kosbee ship this Korean eye cream?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKosbee stocks this eye cream at our own warehouse in New Jersey and ships within one business day, so orders inside the United States arrive in days rather than weeks from overseas.
