We developed this formula to protect and soothe sensitive or reactive skin prone to redness. This soothing skin care product aims to replenish and protect the skin’s moisture barrier, which greatly improves comfort and reduces facial redness.
Three ingredients are mainly responsible for this product’s efficacy.
Quassia amara extract: Quassia amara is a small tropical shrub whose bark has been used for a long time in traditional medicine. It possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiparasitic properties.
Niacinamide (vitamin B3): niacinamide helps restore and preserve an intact skin barrier. It also possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It reduces the appearance of redness and skin blotching.
Glycerin: glycerin is a humectant beneficial to the skin: it helps maintain optimal hydration of the surface layers of the epidermis.
The formulation also contains squalane, a vegetable emollient that softens and smooths the skin. Squalane is a natural component of human sebum.
Make sure your skin is clean and dry
Apply in small dots around the eye area
Gently smooth until absorbed, 15 minutes before exposure to the sun
Test your skin’s sensitivity to the formula before using it on a daily basis. To do so, apply a small quantity on the inner surface of the forearm or behind the ear.
Allow to dry and ensure the absence of a reaction such as redness or a burning sensation over the next 24 hours.
If you experience any sort of irritation, rinse with water. If irritation persists, consult your healthcare practitioner or contact us for advice.
A flagship ingredient for Reversa. Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane. It has the ability to penetrate skin surface layers due to its small molecular size.
Plays a critical role in protecting body cells and tissues from damage caused by the free radicals generated by natural body processes and environmental stresses.
It's been AGES since I've seen an eye cream with SPF. This one by Reversa is great! It's creamy and stays put. I put it on as soon as I wake up along with my Reversa daily moisturizer with spf 30. I feel well protected for the day!

Très bonne crème contour des yeux, FPS 15 en bonus !
J’ai 45 ans, une peau mixte, réactive et sensible. Ma peau a du vécue ! J’ai eu beaucoup d’acné pendant mon adolescence ainsi qu’à l’âge adulte (j’en ai encore parfois) ! Je n’ai vraiment pas beaucoup de signes visibles de l’âge, mais je souhaite prendre soin de ma peau. Je n’ai aucun problème avec cette crème contour des yeux ! Il faut TOUJOURS tester les produits contenant de l’acide glycolique avant de les utiliser. Il faut aussi éviter de mélanger certains produits contenants des ingrédients actifs, donc appliquer la crème sur une peau propre, sèche et non irritée. Je parle en connaissance de cause !
Je l’aime parce que :
- Pénètre bien dans la peau du contour de l’œil, est bien absorbée et n’a pas d’effet collant;
- Aucun parfum ou odeur;
- Protection solaire UVA/UVB FPS 15
- Produit canadien 🍁
- Sans cruauté animale
- Bon rapport qualité/prix
- Sans parabène, sans huile. Pas complètement naturelle, mais une liste réduite d’ingrédients douteux.
La marque Reversa est une belle découverte pour moi !

Finally - eye cream that works!
Have been using this for a while - on my 4th tube. I only put it under eyes and outer corners up to eyebrow.
Works wonders when used properly.
I see other customers have complained about irritation after putting this on their eyelids - why would anyone put a glycolic acid on eyelids????
Recommend this product.

This cream caused terrible swelling of my eyelids
I have a range of Reversa products and I'm always happy to support Canadian cruelty free brands, but this cream in particular caused my upper eyelids swell with terrible itching and burning sensation. It took me a week to get rid of this irritation and my the area around eyes now looks very dry and wrinkly. Would not recommend anyone to use this product. I've contacted this brand before writing this review, but never heard back, which is also really bad customer experience.
Hello,
we are sorry to hear about your skin reaction after using our anti-wrinkle eye contour cream SPF 15.
This is indeed a very fragile zone, it appears this area on your skin did not tolerate well either the glycolic acid or possibly another ingredient in this product.
As mentioned on the warnings, we do not recommend using this product on eyelids or too close to the eyelid’s margins.
With the information that you sent us, we will contact you directly to have more information and see how we can help you.
Sorry again for this inconvenience.

Antiwrinkle eye contour
This totally burnt my eye contour and eyelids.
Looking so dark now, what do I use to clear the burn and dark discoloration on my eyelids.
I tried applying the "retinol A" and "hydrolic" each time after cleaning, got worst with a stinging sensation.
I need your expert advice on what to do.
I have a range of your products, 😍 all worked good but for the antiwrinkle that got my eyes damaged.
Thanks to revert.
Hello Mrs. Ukadike, we are happy that you like and use many of our products.
We are so sorry that you got a bad reaction regarding our anti-wrinkle eye contour cream SPF 15. It contains 4% of glycolic acid, your skin may not tolerate this molecule well.
We do not recommend applying this product close to the eyelids margin. We also do not recommend applying retinol to your eyelids, this powerful molecule can also be irritating if your skin is not used to it.
If irritation persists, we advise you to consult a healthcare practitioner.
Unfortunately, we do not have specific products for the eyelids.
