Can Face Serum Be Used Under the Eyes? Product Claims and Safety Positioning

A face serum should not automatically be marketed for the eye area. The formula may contain fragrance, acids, retinoids or other ingredients that were not designed for close application around the eyes. Brand instructions must reflect the evaluated use area.

Suzhou Suvael helps skincare brands decide whether to develop one multi-area serum or a separate eye-care SKU.

Multi-Area Serum Requirements

A face-and-eye serum needs suitable texture, controlled migration and carefully selected ingredients. The package should deliver a small, repeatable dose.

When a Separate Eye Product Is Better

An eye serum can use a lighter dose, precision applicator and specific sensory target. It also allows clearer claims and routine communication.

Directions Matter

Labels should state the approved application area and advise avoiding direct contact with the eyes. Cosmetic appearance claims should not imply treatment of medical eye concerns.
