TATCHA The Silk Peony Melting Under Eye Cream
The Silk Peony eye cream is formulated by TATCHA as an under-eye treatment designed to deliver hydration, smoothing and line-softening around the delicate eye area. On contact, its cushiony balm texture melts into skin to release a rich blend of silk proteins, Japanese white peony extract, and TATCHA’s proprietary “Hadasei-3” superfood complex to hydrate, smooth fine lines, and improve skin softness.
It’s sold under the name “Melting Under Eye Cream | Hydration with Line-Smoothing Eye Cream for Wrinkles and Hydration.”

What It Does — Benefits & Expected Results
With regular use (morning and/or night), many users report the following benefits:
-
Improved hydration and suppleness around the eyes — dryness, tightness or flakiness tends to diminish.
-
Smoother skin texture and softened fine lines / wrinkles — the silk proteins and peptides help blur and reduce the look of fine lines over time.
-
More radiant, fresh-looking under-eye area — skin appears plumper, softer, and less dull which can subtly brighten the eye region.
-
Good base under makeup — because of its melting balm texture, it primes the under-eye area well, helping concealer or foundation sit more smoothly.
For many people, this eye cream helps make the fragile under-eye area look healthier, more moisturized, and less lined. For some, it also helps reduce dryness-related creasing when wearing makeup.
Key Ingredient Science & Why It Works
Silk Protein + Liquid Silk & Silk-derived proteins
These help create a “moisture veil,” softening fine lines and smoothing texture around the eye.
Japanese White Peony Extract
Supports the delicate under-eye skin barrier, helps lock in moisture, and strengthens skin resilience.
Hadasei-3 Complex (fermented rice, green tea, algae) + Antioxidants
Provides antioxidant benefits, helps fight oxidative stress, supports skin health and contributes to more youthful-looking skin over time.
Humectants & Emollients (e.g. glycerin, squalane)
These help retain moisture, soften the skin, and give a smooth, supple feel.
Who It’s Best For — Ideal Users & Use Cases
This Silk Peony Under Eye Cream is especially well-suited for:
-
People with normal to dry or sensitive skin around the eyes — those who experience dryness, tightness, or fine-line creasing.
-
Individuals seeking gentle anti-aging care — those wanting to soften early fine lines, improve texture, or maintain youthful skin around the eyes.
-
Users wearing makeup frequently — for whom a smooth under-eye base helps concealer/foundation apply more evenly and last longer.
-
Anyone looking for a luxury, nourishing eye cream using high-quality ingredients and thoughtful formulation.
-
People wanting a balanced cream — moisturizing + anti-oxidant + barrier-support, rather than harsh active treatments or heavy oils.
It might be less ideal for those with very oily skin who dislike richer formulas, or for those expecting dramatic wrinkle reversal (this is more about maintenance, hydration, and prevention)
Pros & Cons
-
Rich, nourishing formula ideal for delicate under-eye skin — hydrates and protects without excessive heaviness.
-
Effective at softening fine lines and smoothing texture around eyes (especially from dryness or early-aging).
-
Blurs skin and improves under-eye radiance — gives a smoother, more youthful appearance.
-
Absorbs well, layers under makeup smoothly — doesn’t cause pilling under concealer/foundation.
-
Uses premium natural and botanical-derived ingredients (silk proteins, peony, fermented botanicals) for hydration + antioxidant protection.
-
Smaller size (15 ml / 0.5 oz) — may run out fairly quickly if used both morning and night.
-
As a richer cream, may feel slightly heavy/too moisturizing under eye for those with very oily skin or in hot climates.
-
Price is higher compared with regular eye creams or basic moisturizers — expected for a premium product.
-
Results (smoothing, anti-aging) tend to be subtle and develop with consistent use — not immediate miracles for deep wrinkles.
