The Pearl eye treatment is made with the same good-for-your-skin ingredients as their best-selling Water Cream, but Tatcha also added Akoya pearl extract and pearl pigments to treat your skin, while also giving it a natural, but bright illumination. It comes in three underlights: Moonlight (for fair complexions), Softlight (for medium complexions), and Candlelight (for deeper complexions).
“Each one gives skin an instant luminosity and radiance, but it’s really a treatment,” explains Vicky Tsai on Wednesday at a press event in Malibu to announce the new launch. “It’s an undereye moisturizer and brightening treatment, so that your skin is even more beautiful and even more bright over time. You also get that instant light underneath as well.”
According to Tsai, our skin is made up of layers and if they’re smooth and there’s no duskiness to it, the light comes into your skin and it’ll bounce off this layer of water, and it’s what gives people this lit-from-within-glow. “It’s what we’re always trying to recreate with highlighters and shimmers,” says Tsai.
When skin begins to age, especially under the eyes since it’s such a delicate area, it can start to sag as well as glycate, meaning it can turn yellow or brown. The pearl extract that is inside the new eye treatment combats these two issues, working hard to support the natural collagen production in your skin and also help fight the yellowing or browning (aka glycation) in your skin over time. This, in addition to the pearl pigments, is what makes The Pearl able to achieve what your favorite concealer and eye cream can do, but at the same time.
