What Do Koreans Use for Dark Circles? A Scientific Deep Dive into K-Beauty Eye Care

Introduction
Korean skincare is famous for its obsession with a bright, youthful "panda-free" under-eye area. With the global rise of K-Beauty, consumers are flooding search engines with the specific question: "What do Koreans use for dark circles?"

The answer is not a single product, but a sophisticated menu of ingredients tailored to specific biological causes.

At Guangzhou Rysun Biotechnology, we specialize in decoding these global trends through science. Founded in 2014 by Ivy Wong after identifying market inconsistencies, and inspired by deep discussions with a Swiss anti-aging expert, we combine Asian skincare philosophy with European manufacturing rigor.

Backed by our Research Institute and 20 leading scientists, we are here to guide you through the ingredients Koreans use and how Rysun manufactures these high-value formulations for global brands.

The "Type" Comparison: Matching Ingredients to the Problem

To answer "what do Koreans use," you must first ask "what kind of dark circle is it?" Korean dermatology distinguishes between three types. Here is how we compare the solutions:

1. The Brown Circle (Pigmentation)

• The Cause: Melanin accumulation from sun damage or friction (rubbing eyes).
• What Koreans Use: Niacinamide + Rice Extract.
• The Science: Koreans prefer Niacinamide because it is gentle enough for the thin eye area but effectively blocks pigment transfer. Rice extract adds a brightening, hydrating glow.

• The Rysun Formulation: We use pharmaceutical-grade Niacinamide in our eye creams, ensuring it brightens without irritating the delicate ocular tissue.

2. The Blue/Purple Circle (Vascular)

• The Cause: Poor circulation or thin skin showing blood vessels underneath.
• What Koreans Use: Ginseng + Retinal.
• The Science: Ginseng is a traditional Hanbang ingredient that boosts circulation. Retinal (Retinaldehyde) thickens the dermis so vessels are less visible.
• The Rysun Formulation: Leveraging our 253 intellectual properties, we specialize in stabilizing Retinal. We encapsulate it to ensure it thickens the skin without causing the peeling often associated with Vitamin A.

3. The Hollow Circle (Structural)

• The Cause: Loss of fat and collagen, creating a shadow.
• What Koreans Use: PDRN (Salmon DNA) + Volufiline.
• The Science: PDRN is a trendy regenerative ingredient derived from salmon that repairs tissue. Volufiline is a plant extract that mimics a "lipofilling" effect, plumping the area.
• The Rysun Formulation: This aligns with our Swiss-inspired anti-aging focus. We manufacture advanced serums combining these actives with Peptides to restore volume and bounce.

The Ingredient Spotlight: Manufacturing the Trends

If you want to launch a K-Beauty inspired eye line, these are the key ingredients Rysun can manufacture for you:

Salmon DNA (PDRN)

• Why it's trending: It promotes unparalleled tissue regeneration.
• Rysun Capability: We source high-purity PDRN and formulate it into bio-compatible serums that absorb rapidly without leaving a sticky residue.

Snail Mucin (or Phyto-Mucin)

• Why it's trending: Intensive repair and hydration.
• Rysun Capability: For brands wanting a vegan angle, Rysun utilizes plant-based mucin alternatives (Yam/Okra) that offer the same elastic texture and repair benefits.

Ginseng Root Extract

• Why it's trending: It energizes tired eyes.
• Rysun Capability: Our advanced extraction technologies ensure high levels of ginsenosides (the active compound), making the product effective rather than just marketing hype.

The Manufacturer’s Role: Safety in the Eye Zone

While the ingredients are exciting, the eye area is dangerous territory for formulators.
"Inconsistent quality" in eye creams can lead to stinging, milia, or infection.

Rysun Biotechnology ensures safety through:

• Ophthalmologic Standards: Our Research Institute balances the pH to match human tear fluid (pH 7.0), minimizing irritation.

• Viscosity Control: We use our 105 product patterns to engineer creams that stay in place. They do not "migrate" (travel) into the eye, preventing blurry vision or stinging.

• Strict QC: We implement up to 50 inspection procedures. The eye area has no tolerance for bacteria. We ensure our manufacturing environment in the Guangzhou High-Tech Development Zone is pristine.

Conclusion

So, what do Koreans use for dark circles?
They use Ginseng for circulation, PDRN for repair, and Niacinamide for brightening. They treat the root cause, not just the symptom.

At Rysun Biotechnology, we have the technology to bottle these trends. We combine the innovation of K-Beauty with the safety standards of Swiss science. Partner with us to create an eye care line that delivers real, visible results for every type of dark circle.

FAQs

Q1: Is PDRN (Salmon DNA) safe for everyone?
A: Generally, yes. It is highly bio-compatible with human skin. However, Rysun always recommends vegan alternatives (like plant-based EGF) for brands targeting vegan consumers.

Q2: Can I use Retinal under my eyes every night?
A: Korean routines often suggest starting slowly. Rysun formulates specific "Eye Retinal" creams with lower concentrations and added buffers (like Ceramides) to allow for safe nightly use.

Q3: Does Volufiline really work for hollow eyes?
A: While it is not a surgical filler, Volufiline helps stimulate adipocytes (fat cells) to retain volume. Rysun combines it with Peptides for a synergistic plumping effect that improves the look of hollows over 8-12 weeks.

Q4: Can Rysun make an eye cream that targets ALL types of dark circles?
A: Yes. We specialize in "All-in-One" formulations. By blending Niacinamide (Brown), Caffeine/Ginseng (Blue), and Peptides (Hollow), we can create a comprehensive solution for the mass market.
