One of the very first brand reviews I ever wrote was about one of my favorite skincare brands, KPS Essentials. For the article, titled Brands I Love and Believe in: KPS Essentials Science-Based Facial Skin Care and published in January 2019, I had the distinct honor of speaking with the founding scientist Ron Webb and co-founder, Natalie Novak-Bauss — an oncology aesthetician.
Skin care isn’t rocket science, but Ron just happens to be one. IRL! I love scientists of all kinds — and I love talking about skin care with scientists — particularly those who know how ingredients work in the skin.
The KPS formulas are smart because they’re really well-formulated and they make sense for the skin — from the perspective of a scientist, not of a marketer.
“What do you get when you cross a foodie, master gardener, organic farmer and certified oncology aesthetician with a rocket scientist that thrives on finding the root causes to problems using unconventional thinking?
PERFORMANCE-BASED, CLINICALLY VALIDATED, ORGANIC SKINCARE.”

Over the last year and a half, I’ve come to appreciate the exceptional quality of the KPS formulas and, in particular, the brand’s Antioxidant Eye Repair Serum.
The eye area is comprised of the most delicate skin anywhere on your face. That’s why I’m a proponent of not only a well-formulated moisturizer around your eyes, but the use of a sunscreen in the eye area each morning.
But finding an eye cream with sunscreen that you actually like to use isn’t easy. Trust me, I’ve tried them all!
As I’ve shared previously, my favorite eye cream with SPF is my longtime go-to, the SkinCeuticals Physical Eye UV Defense SPF 50.
It has a slight tint to it that helps conceal dark circles, and its light, paste-like consistency means it stays put.
Honestly, it’s the best eye cream with SPF that I’ve ever come across, hands down. I’ve recently grown fond of the Supergoop! Bright-Eyed 100% Mineral Eye Cream SPF 40 which I reviewed on my blog here.
Honestly, there’s no compelling reason to use a separate moisturizer around your eyes — unless you have a particular concern for dark circles and puffiness. If it’s good enough for the rest of your face, it’s good enough for your eye area. Skin is skin.
That said, I can appreciate a well-formulated eye treatment and know most people are conditioned to want a dedicated eye cream. And the KPS Antioxidant Eye Repair Serum gets me all fired up. I love everything about it.
KPS’s Antioxidant Eye Repair Serum contains a host of antioxidants and antioxidant-rich extracts including Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Camellia Sinesis Leaf Extract (Green Tea Extract).
Because it’s super lightweight — somewhat like a thicker, opaque serum — it’s very easily absorbed by the skin. It’s also 96.4% organic and made with natural, organic, and food-grade ingredients like pomegranate, rosehip, coconut and argan oils — as well as plant-derived hyaluronic acid.
