Jade Energy

Tired eyes show up fast. A late night, a long day on a screen, or just a few years of living can leave the skin under your eyes looking puffy, dull, and creased, even when the rest of your face looks fine. Jade Energy is an energizing eye balm made for exactly that look. It's a silky, cooling-feeling balm built on green coffee oil, kahai nut oil, hemp seed oil, and nourishing butters, with vitamin E and antioxidant-rich frankincense and rosemary, and it melts into the delicate skin around your eyes without feeling heavy. It's $68 for 0.5 oz, rated 4.9 stars across 46 reviews, and 98% of reviewers would recommend it.

An Under Eye Balm for Tired, Puffy Eyes

An under eye balm has a different job than a serum. It's richer, it melts on contact with skin, and it stays put, which makes it a good fit for the thin, dry area under your eyes that loses moisture quickly. Jade Energy is formulated for tired looking eyes, puffiness, fine lines, and dullness, and it's designed for all skin types, especially skin that's tired and stressed. The page describes it as energizing and invigorating, and customers agree, and the reviews are strong: one said her skin feels like butter, and another said it gives just the right amount of hydration. It helps reduce the appearance of puffiness and fine lines, though puffy eyes have many causes, from sleep to salt to allergies, and no balm can fix all of them.

Eye Balm vs. Eye Cream: What's the Difference?

An eye balm and an eye cream both hydrate, but they feel different. An eye cream is typically lighter, and it sinks in quickly. A balm is built mostly from oils and butters, so it's richer and leaves a protective layer that slows moisture loss, which suits dry skin and nighttime use. Jade Energy is a balm, so you need only a small amount. If you want a lighter texture for daytime, or a peptide formula aimed at crow's feet, Eye Need is our eye cream and SuperLift is our eye serum. Many people use a balm at night and a cream or serum in the morning. Browse our eye care collection to compare.

Green Coffee, Kahai, Hemp Seed Oil, and Vitamin E in Our Eye Balm

The formula leans on plant oils and butters. Green coffee oil is one of the key ingredients and gives the balm its energizing character. Hemp seed oil and flax seed oil bring omega fatty acids that support the skin's moisture barrier, and kahai nut oil, macadamia and meadowfoam seed oils, and shea, mango, and cupuacu butters add rich nourishment. Tocopherol acetate (vitamin E) is an antioxidant that helps protect, condition, and soothe skin, and frankincense oil and rosemary extract round out the antioxidant support. It's formulated with no synthetic fragrance.

Hyaluronic Acid and Jade Energy: What's Not in the Jar

Many eye products advertise hyaluronic acid, and it's a great ingredient for water-based hydration. Jade Energy doesn't contain it, and it doesn't contain niacinamide or peptides either. It hydrates differently: the oils and butters soften skin and help keep moisture from escaping. If you want hyaluronic acid in your routine, apply a hydrating serum such as Barrier Bliss first, then press the balm on top to seal it in.

Is This a Brightening Eye Balm? Dark Circles, Honestly

The product page calls Jade Energy an energizing and brightening eye balm, so as a brightening eye balm it's meant to leave the area looking fresher, and it lists dark circles among its concerns, so here's what to expect. There's no vitamin C or other pigment-fading ingredient in the formula, and a balm doesn't target the causes of dark circles, which include genetics, thin skin that shows blood vessels, and pigment. What it can do is hydrate and smooth the under eye area so it looks fresher and more rested, which can make circles look softer. One reviewer keeps hers in the fridge and says her dark circles lighten when she applies it before bed, and results vary. If dark circles are your main concern, our eye cream for dark circles collection is a better starting point, and Ultima C Serum can help even out skin tone on the rest of the face.

Eye Balm for Sensitive Skin

Jade Energy has no synthetic fragrance, parabens, or phthalates, which is helpful for sensitive skin. It does contain frankincense oil and rosemary extract, and the skin around the eyes reacts faster than the rest of your face, so patch test on your jawline first, keep it out of your eyes, and stop if you notice irritation. If your skin is very reactive, check with a board certified dermatologist before adding a new eye product.

Eye Balm Regular Price and What You Get

Jade Energy's regular price is $68 for a 0.5 oz jar. Because a balm is rich, you need only a small amount each time, so a jar lasts through weeks of daily use. There's no sale price listed on the page, so check the product page for current offers and stock. For policies on returns and refunds, see the store's policy pages or contact customer service before you buy.

How to Use Eye Balm Morning and Night

Melt a small amount onto your fingertip and massage it around the orbital bone, avoiding the eye itself. Reapply as needed for added hydration and protection. At night it works as the last step of your routine, so you can wake up to softer skin, and in the morning you can apply it under makeup, then sunscreen such as Day Drops SPF 50. Store the jar out of direct sunlight in a cool, dry place. For consistent use over a few weeks, keep it in your daily routine, and take the free skin consultation if you want help building the rest of it.
