The Serum
Age Annihilating Collection
Algae Eye Serum
Drawn from the ocean’s depths, this cooling eye serum delivers a marine-infused hydration experience with the mineral wealth of Big Kelp and the quenching touch of hyaluronic acid. At its core, Argireline® Amplified peptide reveals a smoother, more refined eye contour, softening fine lines toward near invisibility.

The Truth About Your Eyes.
If you’re over 40 and noticing more eye wrinkles, a crepey look under the eyes, dark circles, or puffiness, you’re in excellent company. The eye area has the thinnest skin on the face, so it shows change first. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the most common eye-area issues after 45, how to tell one from another, what causes them, and what actually helps—from daily skincare (including our Abad Face Algae Eye Serum in the Age Annihilating Collection) to non-surgical and surgical options your dermatologist or oculoplastic surgeon might recommend.
What Are These Annihilating Ingredients?
Argireline Amplified peptide is a next‑generation version of the well‑known Argireline (acetyl hexapeptide‑8), a neuropeptide designed for expression lines. It targets the facial muscle–contraction pathway by modulating the SNARE complex involved in neurotransmitter release, a mechanism supported by peer‑reviewed research on Argireline’s parent peptide. In an eye‑area serum, this translates to a gentle, non‑irritating approach to softening the look of crow’s feet and fine lines.
Macrocystis pyrifera, also known as giant kelp, is a brown seaweed native to cool Pacific coastlines where it forms rich kelp forests. Its extracts are rich in marine polysaccharides and polyphenols that have been shown in peer‑reviewed studies to hydrate, soothe, and protect the skin. When used in an eye‑area serum, these compounds support the delicate periorbital skin by enhancing moisture, providing antioxidant defense, and helping reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Does our Algae Eye Serum have chemistry with makeup?
Smoother under-eye canvas for flawless concealer
This hyaluronic acid eye serum (Sodium Hyaluronate) and glycerin boost skin hydration, increasing flexibility and smoothing the look of fine lines and crepey texture—helping concealer apply evenly and resist caking or creasing. This is especially helpful for mature skin (40+).
Pro tip: Apply a pea-sized amount, tap gently, and wait 60–90 seconds before applying under-eye concealer or eyeshadow primer.
Peptide-powered support for expression lines
This peptide eye serum includes Acetyl Hexapeptide‑8 and Pentapeptide‑18—cosmetic peptides known to soften the look of dynamic wrinkles with consistent use. They don’t freeze muscles, but they can visibly refine texture over time, helping makeup sit more smoothly around the eyes.
Pro tip: Prefer a natural finish? Use serum alone under concealer. For extended wear, layer a sheer eye primer once the serum fully absorbs.
Eyelid-friendly base that supports smoother shadow and liner.
On the mobile lid, a lightweight, water-based gel like Algae Eye Serum creates a hydrated, non-greasy surface that helps powders and creams lay down more evenly. Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate pull in water, softening dry lid texture (common after 40). At the same time, the natural polysaccharides in Macrocystis pyrifera (kelp) extract can form a thin, flexible film that improves makeup grip without heaviness. Because the formula isn’t oil-rich, it’s less likely to break down eyeshadow or cause transfer—useful for mature lids that can be both drier on the surface and more mobile.
Pro tip for cream shadows: press, don’t swipe, to avoid lifting the hydrated surface. For powder, set your base with a touch of translucent powder if your shadows are skipping.
Discreet, natural-finish grooming for men 40+
If you prefer a “no-makeup” look—just fresher under-eyes on camera or in meetings—Algae Eye Serum’s lightweight gel hydrates without shine, so tint or concealer blends in invisibly. Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate provide a smooth, dry texture that can make the product obvious. At the same time, kelp extract’s light film helps sheer concealers grip without caking. The non-greasy finish won’t interfere with brow gel or liner if you use them.
Pro Tip: Use a pea-sized amount for both eyes; wait 60–90 seconds before spot-concealing shadows or redness.
1. Potent Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Edema (Anti-Puffiness) Action: Macrocystis Pyrifera extract helps reduce post-procedural inflammation, redness, and puffiness.
2. Powerful Antioxidant Protection: The extract provides antioxidant protection to support skin healing and protect vulnerable skin from further oxidative stress.
3. Enhanced Hydration and Barrier Repair: It delivers intense hydration and supports the reconstruction of the skin's protective barrier, which is often compromised by procedures.
4. Skin Soothing and Minimizing Irritation: The mineral complex (including zinc) in kelp has soothing and astringent properties, helping to calm irritated skin

Does our Algae Eye Serum like it sweaty?
Layers cleanly under SPF for outdoor workouts
This lightweight, water-based eye serum for active lifestyles layers well under sunscreen. Apply Algae Eye Serum first, wait 60–90 seconds, then follow with facial SPF. The non-oily finish reduces slip under sunglasses and visors during long runs or hikes.
Pro tip: Apply a pea-sized amount, tap gently, and wait 60–90 seconds before applying under-eye concealer or eyeshadow primer.
Sweat-compatible, non-greasy hydration for workouts
This gym-friendly eye serum uses Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate for sweat-compatible hydration without shine, while Butylene Glycol helps the gel absorb fast. Macrocystis pyrifera (kelp) extract adds a light, flexible film that stays comfortable during runs, cycling, or weight training.
Breathable comfort for high-movement training (HIIT, cycling, hot yoga)
Heavy creams can feel slick during high-intensity exercise. Our breathable, gel-texture eye serum with kelp extract’s film-forming polysaccharides provides flexible, non-greasy comfort that’s ideal for sweaty sessions.
Post-workout under-eye recovery after sun, wind, and chlorine
As a post-workout eye serum, humectants (Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate) rehydrate the outer skin layers after outdoor training, pool sessions, or wind exposure. Over time, cosmetic peptides (Acetyl Hexapeptide‑8, Pentapeptide‑18) help the eye area look smoother on rest days too.
3 Ways the Argireline® Amplified Peptide in our Algae Eye Serum helps prevent the deepening of crow's feet and other fine lines
1. Targeted Reduction of Dynamic Wrinkle Depth: Argireline® Amplified peptide helps reduce the appearance and depth of fine lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements, such as crow's feet and under-eye squinting.
2. Prevention of New Expression Line Formation: With continued use, it helps prevent the deepening of existing lines and the formation of new ones by training muscles to contract less forcefully.
3. Soothing Effect and Improvement of Skin Smoothness: The peptide can have a secondary soothing effect on the skin, improving overall smoothness and texture.
