Jet Lag™ Overnight Eye Serum

Summer Fridays Jet Lag Overnight Eye Serum is a night-only treatment for the eye area, built on three things at once: glycerin for water, ceramides for the barrier, and a mild retinoid blend for fine lines. It is non-comedogenic, and it is meant to do its work while you sleep.

What it actually does

• Softens the look of fine lines. Summer Fridays positions it to visibly reduce fine lines so the eye area reads smoother and firmer.
• Uses a gentle retinoid, not straight retinol. The blend is described as gentle — a deliberate choice for skin as thin as the under-eye.
• Floods the area with moisture. Glycerin is the hydrator here, and it is a humectant, so it pulls water in rather than sitting as an oil layer.
• Props up the barrier. Ceramides are included for barrier support, which matters when you are also using a retinoid.
• Nourishing rather than heavy. It is a serum texture, and non-comedogenic, so it is not designed to block pores around the eyes or on the temples.
• Brand-tested overnight claims. Summer Fridays reports results from independent clinical and consumer studies on participants aged 32 to 60, measured over two to four weeks, covering fine lines, hydration, firmness and the smoothness of the skin texture around the eye. These are study findings from the brand — individual outcomes differ.

How to use

1. Evening only. This is a nighttime step, as the name suggests.
2. Use a small amount and apply it gently around the contour of each eye.
3. Because it contains a retinoid, wear sunscreen through the day and introduce it slowly if your skin has not met retinoids before.

Questions

Can I use it if I've never used retinol?

The retinoid blend is formulated to be gentle, which is why it is considered suitable for the eye area at all. Even so, start two or three nights a week and build up as your skin settles.

Do I still need an eye cream on top?

Not necessarily — this is a nourishing serum with glycerin and ceramides already in it. If your skin is very dry, or you are adjusting to the retinoid, a plain moisturiser over the top is a reasonable buffer.

How much should I use?

A small amount per eye, traced around the orbital contour. With retinoids on thin skin, more product does not mean faster results — it usually means irritation.

When would I expect to see something?

The brand's own studies were run over two to four weeks, so that is the honest window to judge it on — with nightly use, not occasional use.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Items we already hold arrive at the short end of that window.

Payment methods and returns?

Credit card, debit card, Instapay and mobile wallets — cash on delivery is not available. Returns are limited to defective, damaged or expired items, reported within 1 day of delivery; approved refunds go back to the original payment method within 15 to 30 days.
