With countless new eye creams on the market, it can be difficult to know which one is right for you or what results to expect. The eye area is challenging and hard to treat effectively as it’s delicate, fragile, and highly prone to creasing.
As someone who loves eye creams, I’m already a huge fan of Dr. Sam’s Flawless Nightly Eye Serum, which features in the Best Retinoid Eye Creams — Fiona Brackenbury but the question is, can the Flawless Brightly Eye Serum match up?
In a recent video, Dr. Sam said that this is one of the most complicated and effective active products she’s created to date. After an extensive 44 iterations, let's dive in to see if it’s worth the hype.
Who would benefit from Dr Sam’s Flawless Brightly Eye Serum?
Tired Eyes: If you find the skin around your eyes is showing everything from late nights, lack of sleep, poor quality or interrupted sleep. Or you typically find yourself with tired eyes, signs of fatigue and darkness under the eyes in the morning.
Lines & Wrinkles: While everyone wants to either tackle or prevent lines, as the skin tissue ages, the more challenges it faces. This is a great preventive eye cream if you’ve noticed lines creeping in.
Darkness & Under Eye Shadows: If the under-eye area is getting visibly darker and morning concealer is essential. Eye creams that deliver instant brightness (like this one) are a game changer.
What results can you expect from Dr Sam’s Flawless Brightly Eye Serum?
As a skin expert, I look for ingredients that can intensely hydrate the skin while supporting collagen and elastin production. Dr Sam’s Flawless Brightly Eye Serum has been created to deliver instant results and longer-term benefits.
What results can you expect from Dr Sam’s Flawless Brightly Eye Serum?
Instant Boosting Properties: Immediate under-eye brightening that reflects the lights beautifully as well as help diffuse the appearance of dark shadows and blue-purplish tones. Many eye creams are overly rich causing milia or excess hydration meaning makeup doesn’t last. This product is perfectly hydrating, seals in moisture and acts like a primer and moisturiser to plump and smooth the under-eye area.
Longer-Term Properties: Smooth the appearance of fine lines and floods the skin with hydration resulting in a more smooth and plump complexion. However, the true strength lies in its long-term benefits, addressing the root cellular ageing with advanced skincare science.
What are the key ingredients found in Dr Sam’s Flawless Brightly Eye Serum?
As a skin expert, I look for ingredients that can intensely hydrate the skin whilst also supporting collagen and elastin production. The reason I want both, is that the collagen delivers strength and support whilst the elastin allows the skin to spring back to its original shape. Without elastin, your skin will sag so it’s essential to have both.

Thanks to shea butter, avocado, and mango seed oil, Dr Sam’s Flawless Brightly Eye Serum provides instant hydration. Plus, its optical brighteners deliver immediate brightness and reduce the appearance of dark circles and shadows under the eyes.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is a brilliant skincare ingredient but particularly in eye serums and cream as it helps strengthen the skin barrier and improves skin texture. Niacinamide helps speed up ceramide production and the more ceramides, the more moisture to support collagen and elastin production. -
Milk Thistle helps tackle the cells that are misbehaving. These cells aren't functioning as they should be and can drag down healthy cells with them. Imagine a fruit bowl; there is one rotten apple and it's not long before it impacts the freshness of the rest of the fruit. Similarly, this happens with collagen. For example, the old damaged collagen should naturally be cleared by the skin, however when the skin becomes tired, stressed and inflamed, the old damaged collagen sits like the rotten apple - impacting all the good collagen.
Milk Thistle targets cellular senescence (a root cause of ageing) while also providing powerful antioxidant protection, making it beneficial for the delicate area around the eyes.

Sunflower Shoot Extract boosts the skin's battery cells. Within the skin cell there are mitochondria that convert energy into a usable form (ATP) for the skin. As the skin ages, less ATP is produced so ingredients like these are key to replenish the battery cells. This life force is optimal for 30+ years when the levels of ATP have started declining.
-
Ectoin is an amino acid that can protect your skin against oxidative stress (a process that ages the skin cells), whilst reducing inflammation and increasing hydration. Ectoin is brilliant for dry, thirsty and parched skin.
I love Dr Sam’s Flawless Brightly Eye Serum. Put simply, the eye area feels hydrated, plumped and looks instantly brighter. Plus, it's the perfect primer for makeup and sits perfectly under concealer or foundation.
Suitable for all skin tones, Non-comedogenic and fragrance-free, Cruelty-free and vegan.
