It's this time of the year in which I introduce you to a new version of my favourite eye cream. Meet AHC Ten Revolution Real Eye Cream for Face (Season 10), a 2022 version of Korean cult eye cream or "Korea's National Eye Cream". Is Season 10 better than previous seasons? Why do I keep using AHC eye creams?
About the brand AHC
The name AHC stands for Aesthetic Hydration Cosmetics. According to AHC's website, the company started in 1999. The name of the brand is not random AHC makes skincare products similar to products used by aesthetics. It means that AHC makes professional products for personal use, it's nothing new since many aesthetic brands used at SPA have lines for personal use. If I have to compare the eye creams I use at home vs the eye creams I use during my internship as an esthetician - AHC is way better than pro eye creams. Eye Cream For Face is AHC's most popular product. One of the AHC ambassadors was Anne Hathaway. During the last few years actresses Kim Hye Soo and Jo Bo Ah in AHC commercials as well as actress Oh Yeon-Seo. Lately, Krystal Jung which you might recognize from girl group f(x) became AHC's ambassador. The last time I checked AHC sold 71 million eye creams, but according to amazing Odile Monod and her video review of this eye cream, AHC sold over 120 million eye creams. Right now thanks to Unilever, AHC is available globally. The acquisition of Carver Korea and AHC took a few years ago - in 2017. You have to remember that, even if Unilever is a big company available all over the world, AHC formulas in Korea and abroad are a bit different. I haven't tried non-Korean versions, but we will talk a bit about it later.
Do you need eye cream?
Some people believe that you don't need a special eye cream for your eye area. The skin around the eyes is thinner and more sensitive. There are some ingredients you shouldn't use near your eyes like AHA - you have to be very careful with AHA near the eye area, I put AHA only under my eyelid, but I try to be extra careful. Eyes have also different problems like puffiness, wrinkles, and dark circles - it doesn't mean that normal cream won't do anything about it, but sometimes it's better to choose a targetted product.
AHC Eye Cream For Face
The reason why this cream is called eye cream for the face is easy - AHC sells this cream as an eye cream, but they also recommend using their eye creams on areas where you can see wrinkles like the mouth or forehead. Right now AHC released 10 versions of eye creams. Season 1 - Real Eye Cream For Face is a firming product with EGF. Premium Real Eye Cream For Face is a season 2 version, this one brightens the skin. Season 3 Private Real Eye Cream For Face nourish the skin and Season 4 THE Real Eye Cream For Face is even better if it comes to hydration. The Pure Real Eye Cream For Face aka Season 5 which was my first AHC eye cream is a version for sensitive skin. I tried a version with that cute floral packaging made in collaboration with Marymond - you can read the full review on Kherblog. I didn't try Season 6 Ultimate Real Eye Cream For Face, this season is easily absorbed by the skin. Season 7 Ageless Real Eye Cream For Face contains biomimetic collagen, and it gets easily absorbed because the size of the formula is 1/300 of the pore size. What makes Season 8 Time Rewind Real Eye Cream For Face interesting is the number of peptides to increase the elasticity of the skin. Season 8 review is available on Kherblog, as well as season 9 - Youth Lasting Real Eye Cream For Face focused on 20s Biome AHC technology.

Before we start - remember that AHC creams are full of complex, we can only assume by looking at ingredients which complex AHC might use, but if the brand won't state it - you never know.
Hydrolyzed Collagen Extract is an extract obtained from hydrolyzed collagen. It's an anti-aging extract. Glycerin or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin. It's one of the NMFs - natural moisturizing factors. It's practical in hair care. Glycerin won't clog your skin or irritate it just the opposite - it protects your skin from irritation. Dipropylene Glycol is a solvent with moisturizing properties. Bifida Ferment Lysate is a probiotic and a product of the fermentation process. Bifida Ferment Lysate strengthens the skin and its natural microbiome. Bifida ferment lysate can make sensitive skin secure and less susceptible to the negative influence of external factors. This ingredient can help fix the damage caused by UV radiation or fix damaged DNA. Hydrogenated Polydecene is an emollient that leaves a silky, delicate, non-occlusive film on the surface of the skin. This ingredient is ideal for sensitive skin. Cyclohexasiloxane is a volatile silicone and emollient. It makes the product easier to spread on the skin, and it protects the moisture in your skin by creating a gentle, non-greasy film on the surface of your epidermis. Cyclohexasilocane quickly evaporates from your skin. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is a combination of coconut oil and glycerin. It's a notable emollient, quite common in skincare. It leaves a protective film on the surface of the epidermis to save your cutis from dehydration. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride has a significant role in skin care products - it makes the application process effortless. Some people might experience pore-clogging after using Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, but pore-clogging and skin reactions to ingredients are individual. What works for you might not work for someone else. Dicaprylyl Carbonate is a dry emollient. It prevents your skin from TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and makes your skin barrier stronger. It makes your skin velvet in touch. In hair care, Dicaprylyl Carbonate supports your hair condition from difficulties like exposure to cold and warm temperatures. It prevents hair from dryness. It can be used as a solvent or emulsifier. Water hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 - a vitamin soluble in water. It helps with problems like wrinkles, acne, skin texture, and enlarged pores and promotes collagen synthesis. Niacinamide makes the skin barrier stronger. It might be handy in cellulite treatments. Do you want to fight pigmentation or uneven skin? Try to mix niacinamide with Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Vitamin C, Tranexamic Acid or Retinol.
Caprylic/Capric/Succinic Triglyceride is an emollient. Cetearyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol. In the beauty industry, it's an emollient.

It's a source of oleic acid, stearic acid and linoleic acid. Shea butter is a well-moisturizing emollient that leaves a fine film on the skin and hair to protect from dehydration. It has soothing properties, and it might provide sun protection around SPF 2-4 (still, use proper sun-protecting agents instead of oils and butter for your safety). This ingredient is an excellent choice for dry skin and psoriasis. Shea butter hydrates hair and helps them look shinier. It's good to choose certified shea butter from a trusted source. Betaine is an amino acid. In skincare products, we use it for its moisturizing properties. Betaine keeps the water balance of the skin. It makes wrinkles appear less visible, and it soothes irritated skin. In hair care, betaine doesn't only moisturize the hair. It makes hair soft and shiny. Betaine in cosmetics usually comes from sweet beetroots. It naturally occurs in the skin and hair.

Centella Asiatica Extract is probably the most popular extract in skincare. It comes under a few names - Asiatic pennywort, tiger grass or Gotu kola. Centella Asiatica's roots are in Ayurveda. This extract is successful because it's a source of triterpene saponins - madecassoside and asiaticoside. Centella Asiatica Extract has anti-inflammatory properties. It speeds up the wound-healing process. You can use it to treat acne since it has soothing and antibacterial properties. It boosts fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin or even helps with hyaluronic acid synthesis. Centella is recommended for rosacea and cellulitis since it helps with blood microcirculation. In hair care, Centella can help with hair growth. Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract is a source of vitamins C, B1, B2 and B6. It's an antioxidant and it's supposed to support collagen synthesis. Fig contains substances that might make your skin sensitive to sunlight so always remember to use sunscreen when you use Fig Fruit Extract. Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract or Japanese Mountain Yam Root Extract is a source of ascorbic acid, tannin, iron, niacin, riboflavin and zinc. Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract is a source of proteins, vitamins like vitamin E and minerals like potassium. It's a rich antioxidant with antiseptic and anti-aging properties.

Coconut oil has very weak UV protection properties, but it doesn't mean that you can use it instead of sunscreen. Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil is an oily emollient. It's a source of oleic and palmitoleic acid as well as vitamins A and E. Macadamia Oil is a phenomenal choice for sensitive and dry skin. In hair care, this ingredient can help with dry and fragile hair. Sodium Hyaluronate or sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. It's a form of hyaluronic acid and naturally occurs in the skin. Sodium Hyaluronate has strong water-binding properties. Sodium hyaluronate combined with elastin and collagen is like a scaffolding for the skin. It has hydrating properties and leaves a hydrating film on the skin, but sodium hyaluronate prevents skincare products from drying. Soluble Collagen is a protein. Collagen usually leaves a moisturizing film on the skin since collagen molecules are quite big. Some people believe that collagen in skin care products will automatically boost the amount of collagen in your skin, but it's not how it works. Soluble collagen helps with the moisture of the skin by preventing TEWL (transepidermal water loss). This ingredient is not cruelty-free since it's usually derived from fish or cows.

Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is an emollient. It's a synthetic substitute for squalane. It leaves a delicate film on the skin, it prevents the skin from dehydration.

Panthenol is also known as vitamin B5, and it helps with irritation. Panthenol can soothe the skin irritated by preservatives, scent ingredients, and chemical sunscreens - it might have a meaning for lipids in our skin and skin barrier. It speeds up the healing process. It's good to use it after sunbathing. In hair care, Panthenol has moisturizing properties. If you have problems detangling your hair or hair growth go for Panthenol.

Vitamin B12 is important for hair as well - it might help with dandruff, hair loss and hair breakage. Tromethamine is a synthetic pH adjuster. Potassium Cetyl Phosphate is a surfactant and emulsifier for oil-in-water formulas. Potassium Cetyl Phosphate is quite common in SPF formulas since it makes sunscreen more water-resistant.

Maltodextrin is a stabilizing ingredient that can hydrate your skin and absorb sebum. Hexylene Glycol is an emulsifier. Squalane is an ingredient very similar to our sebum. Squalane and squalene sound similar, but there's a difference. Squalane has no double bonds while squalene has double bonds. What does it mean? Squalane is a more stable version of squalene. What I love about this ingredient is how well it works with all skin types, and how our skin needs it. Believe me, if your skin is irritated - go for squalane! This ingredient is usually derived from sugarcane or olives. It acts like an emollient and you need it in your life. Ascorbyl Propyl Hyaluronate just as the name says is related to Ascorbyl Acid and Hyaluronic Acid. This ingredient might be an antioxidant with great anti-aging properties. Hydroxyethylcellulose is a thickener and it creates a protective film on the skin. Hydrolyzed Lupine Protein is rich in peptides. Collagen is a big moisturizing molecule that leaves a film on the surface of the skin. It's an ingredient that naturally occurs in our skin. Collagen is made of amino acids. In our skin, we can find collagen types I and III. Collagen can't penetrate your skin, but it makes your skin barrier stronger and it can make wrinkles less visible visually. Ethyl Ascorbyl Ether or 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is a form of Vitamin C. This form is very stable in both oil and water. It's an antioxidant and skin-brightening ingredient. It stimulates collagen (type I and III) and elastin production. Ethyl Ascorbyl Ether helps with PIE & PIH pigmentation - this form shows the best effects on pigmentation and post-UV-exposure skin discolouration. It's better to use Vitamin C during the morning routine because it boosts the efficiency of sunscreen. We consider Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is the most stable form of vitamin C in skin care, and this version is suitable for sensitive skin. It's good to mix it with niacinamide and vitamin E. This form has weak points - it's the most expensive form of vitamin C.
Crithmum Maritimum Callus Culture Filtrate is an ingredient related to Crithmum, also knowns as rock samphire or sea fennel. This ingredient is supposed to help with dull skin, pigmentation and inflammation. It can boost wound healing abilities. Ascorbic Acid Polypeptide is a combination of ascorbic acid and proteins.

It has antistatic properties which makes it a phenomenal ingredient for both - skin and hair. Mannitol is a sugar, and sugars in skincare have moisturizing properties. Lactic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid. It's a natural moisturizing factor with exfoliating properties - the proper pH and concentration of this peel have an important meaning in how it will act on the skin. Lactic Acid is gentler than Glycolic Acid due to the bigger molecular size of the Lactic Acid molecule. In concentrations up to 10% it's a powerful moisturizer, any product with lactic acid above 10% can lift dead skin cells and help with wrinkles. Sarcosine or N-methylglycine is a natural amino acid that naturally occurs in the human body. It has anti-wrinkle properties, it helps balance acne-prone skin by moderating sebum production. It helps with the penetration of other ingredients. Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester or Calmosensine. It's a lipopeptide with anti-wrinkle properties.

How does AHC Ten Revolution Real Eye Cream for Face (Season 10) work?
Reviewing AHC eye creams is hard. Can you believe I'm lasting my 3rd tube of this cream? Yes, it took me 3 tubes to write this review, because even if daily I need to analyse products for my studies (cosmetology in my country is not the same as in the US, it's more about aesthetic cosmetology, beauty treatments and products). The main difficulty is not the number of ingredients, but how ahead AHC is! The technology AHC uses is quite ahead, in my opinion, you won't find any 2nd product like this in Europe. We have good creams and serums for the eye area like Lancome which I bought last year or Estee Lauder, but AHC makes me research a topic more than I research stuff for my trichology thesis. AHC Eye Cream For Face is manufactured by Kolmar Korea - a company which you heard a lot about when people are talking about sunscreens. It has sense why AHC eye creams are always up-to-date with the latest technologies.
AHC Ten Revolution Real Eye Cream for Face (Season 10) is based on HumaColl21 - I guess 21 stands for XXI human type collagen that boosts collagen types I and III synthesis. Geltor is a company that stands behind HumaColl21 - a biomimetic vegan collagen which Kolmar used in AHC Eye Cream For Face Season 10. I feel like Odile said it in the best way - this ingredient is recognised by skin like it's your own. Surprise? I was!
According to AHC, ingredients are 1/1000 size of the pore size. Just to mention, according to AHC, Season 9 ingredients were 1/500 size of the pore size, so Ten Revolution Real Eye Cream for Face is supposed to penetrate the skin even better. According to AHC, AHC Ten Revolution Real Eye Cream for Face (Season 10) contains 84 types of proteins, 16 vitamins, 11 types of hyaluronic acid and 10 types of collagen. It also contains human stem cells, 50 peptides, 10 growth factors and retinyl palmitate. This cream went through 76 clinical trials! AHC also used liposomes - companies are closing active ingredients in liposomes to make them penetrate deeper and work in deeper layers of the skin.
When AHC released AHC Ten Revolution Real Eye Cream for Face (Season 10) the promotional slogan was "Be The EyeCon". In general, AHC confused lots of people with many versions of season 10 including a change of aesthetic of seasons 10 and 9 in the last month. We had a red version of AHC Ten Revolution Real Eye Cream for Face (Season 10) with Aiki - a Korean dancer and choreographer. At the same time, AHC released a Tension Eye Cream Stick For Face which I wanted to test along with eye cream, but I couldn't bring it to Europe at an affordable price. Although many of the products you see on Kherblog and my social media like Instagram are coming from collaborations with brands and shops, there's still a part of products I buy on my own and usually, such products are the ones from my wishlist. Back to AHC, another version - Paris Fantaisie Edition was created in collaboration with L'Escape Hotel - a 5-star Korean hotel, since this hotel fits the Parisian aesthetic, it has sense why the packaging was so fancy! The next version was Green Festival Edition which in my opinion was super pretty. This edition was a celebration of AHC Eye Creams being called the No. 1 Eye Creams in Korea for 5 years in a row, but also to celebrate summer. Then we had Royal Cell Edition Eye Cream and this version was available in Chuseok gift sets. AHC also released a homme version of eye cream lately - a version for men.
I tried a few seasons of AHC Eye Creams and AHC Ten Revolution Real Eye Cream for Face (Season 10) is the best season so far! Even my mom keeps stealing my eye cream. I'm in my late 20's, my eye area is super sensitive and many eye creams are not for me, but AHC Ten Revolution Real Eye Cream for Face (Season 10) does a phenomenal job since people still believe I might be 10 years younger or even more. I don't get enough sleep, I work in front of the computer and I swear without AHC Eye Creams my eyes wouldn't look the same. This cream doesn't cause me any milia or skin sensitivity, I even feel like after I started to use AHC Eye Creams I have fewer problems with the eye area which in my case is super sensitive and problematic.
In 5 days AHC is going to release season 9 of its cult eye cream and I do plan to buy it because AHC keeps proving to me that it's worth it to keep using the same eye cream. AHC Eye Creams and AHC Ten Revolution Real Eye Cream for Face (Season 10) is so far the best in my opinion and if you want to buy someone a gift that works - go for it, if you're in your early 20's and want to take care of your eyes, it's also a good choice for you.
Where to buy AHC Ten Revolution Real Eye Cream for Face (Season 10)?
It's always a bit tricky to find AHC Eye Creams, but Olive Young** has the AHC Ten Revolution Real Eye Cream For Face Special Set with two tubes of 45ml eye cream (Aiki edition)** and a cooling globe. Normally, AHC Ten Revolution Real Eye Cream for Face (Season 10) had 30ml in a tube, but lately, I feel like the brand goes for 45ml since you can use it as a facial eye cream too. This set costs $65 at regular price, but for $35 you can get the AHC Ten Revolution Real Eye Cream For Face Firming Energy Special Set**, which is also an Aiki edition of AHC cream, but you get a single 45ml tube and 4 tiny 3ml tubes - ideal if you travel a lot. PS. feel free to use my code BETWEEND0 to save on your Olive Young order.
Overall, AHC Ten Revolution Real Eye Cream for Face (Season 10) didn't disappoint me, and I can't wait for season 11. What's your favourite eye cream?
