| Verdict | Bioeffect's EGF technology applied to the eye area — and one of the most scientifically distinctive eye treatments available. The EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) is the brand's hero active: a bioengineered human growth factor protein produced in barley plants via Bioeffect's proprietary ORF Genetics platform in Reykjavik, Iceland. The eye serum delivers EGF in a lightweight gel format calibrated for the thin, delicate skin around the eye, paired with hyaluronic acid for hydration and Trylagen (a complex of peptides and plant extracts for collagen support). The minimalist INCI is intentional — Bioeffect's philosophy is to let the EGF work without interference from unnecessary actives. At ~$90 for 6ml (the eye-area format uses less volume), premium per ml — but EGF-based eye treatments are rare and the Bioeffect platform is the most credible EGF delivery system in consumer skincare. | Nuori's fresh-batch eye cream — a peptide + caffeine formula from the Danish brand's Vital line. The active stack pairs caffeine (vasoconstriction and depuffing) with Matrixyl (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 for collagen support) and Tetrapeptide-7 (anti-inflammatory and ECM support), alongside hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and squalane. Nuori's fresh-batch manufacturing means the peptides arrive at effective potency rather than degraded from warehouse storage — meaningful for ingredients that lose efficacy over time. At ~$62 for 15ml, premium per ml — but the fresh-batch approach addresses the peptide-degradation problem that undermines many eye creams whose active ingredients have deteriorated before the consumer opens the bottle. |
