What is an undertone?

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:

Pink/Cool

I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.

Neutral

I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.

Yellow/Warm

I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Reviews

Smooth formula

"This wears well under makeup, doesn’t make my concealer crease. I think it helps with fine lines somewhat. 4 stars because it’s hard to get the last bits out of the bottle and the pump always gets a little plug in it after use."

Bridget B. (4/5)

My new go-to

"This eye cream goes on light, soaks in nice and fast, and is non greasy which is great for my oily skin. I would definitely recommend this product to a friend."

Noelle O. (5/5)

bye fine lines

"of course we cannot get rid of our actual smile lines but i noticed my fine lines went away within a couple of weeks. i use this both morning and night and i use the amount of a pea and just split that between both of my eyes, so it seems like it'll last pretty long. i love the outset!"

Milan M. (5/5)

The best

"Great price point. I’ve used Ursa Major, kinship, Dr G and others but this takes the cake. I only have fine lines and puffiness no darkness and this does the trip."

Ashley D. (5/5)

Works Great

"I love how this doesn't irritate my eyes and works well to smooth my lines."

Kathy O. (5/5)

Bought again!

"I like this eye cream a lot and the price point is amazing. I feel brighter since using it!"

Katy S. (5/5)

Love this cream, especially for marionette lines

"I initially bought this cream for my eyes, and so far so good - eye creams are always hard to make an immediate impact but it goes on smooth, works under makeup, and is non irritating. However, I've noticed marked improvement in the lines around my mouth and nasal area after using this for ¬3 weeks at 2x/day"

Erin J. (5/5)

Game Changer!

"Before using this product I was searching for any product that would even slightly smooth the lines under my eyes. I did not want to resort to Botox, and do not like products that test on animals. This leaves very few products. I tried this product on a whim, I noticed results in about 2 weeks. I even told the employee at Credo how impressed I how."

Jordan G. (5/5)

Perfect eye cream

"Very rare that I find an eye cream doesn't sting the skin around my eyes. This cream was perfect for my sensitive skin. And a little goes a long way"

Diana (5/5)

Too soon to tell

"I like it, don't love it compared to Skin Ceuticles. The bottle isn't filled to the top either which I don't love."

Catherine P. (4/5)
