Ganoderma Lucidum peptide clinically proven to reduce eye bags, crow's feet and dark circles. Made for Indian skin.
The skin under your eyes is 0.5mm thin four times thinner than the rest of your face. Most eye products mask symptoms. Kinoko Labs targets the biological root causes using Ganoderma Lucidum Peptide, one of the most clinically validated under-eye actives in dermatology today.
Vascular or pigmentation-based discolouration, including hereditary or sun-triggered dark circles.
Morning puffiness, fluid retention, or chronic eye bags from sleep, diet, or allergies.
Fine lines at the outer eye corners from collagen loss and expression.
Those who've experienced irritation or paradoxical darkening from synthetic actives.
There is no single cause treating only one while ignoring the others is why most eye serums underdeliver.
Skin thins ~1% per year from your mid-twenties. Blood vessels show through as shadows; elasticity drops.
Hereditary dark circles, high sodium, alcohol, and poor sleep dilate vessels and cause fluid accumulation.
Melanin-rich Indian skin produces excess pigment from sun or inflammation. Chemical brighteners often worsen this.
Raises cortisol, increases fluid retention, and reduces lymphatic drainage all visible under the eyes next morning.
The most effective eye serum targets vascular darkness, hyperpigmentation, and collagen loss simultaneously without irritating the most delicate skin on your face.
Eye Creams / Patches
Sit on skin surface limited penetration depth
Thick textures can cause milia and congestion
Patches are single-use no cumulative benefit
Cannot address structural collagen loss over time
Kinoko Labs Under Eye Serum
Gel-cream featherlight, fast-absorbing
Lower molecular weight actives penetrate the dermis
Daily use builds cumulative results over weeks
Targets dark circles, puffiness and crow's feet together
Revered in Eastern medicine for 2,000 years. Today its hydrolyzed peptide is one of the most clinically validated under-eye actives available.
Ganoderma Lucidum
Hydrolyzed Mushroom Peptide
Repairs Dermal Degradation
Stimulates fibroblast activity to rebuild collagen and elastin thickening thin, translucent under-eye skin.
Prevents Oxidative Damage
Polysaccharides and triterpenoids neutralise free radicals that accelerate under-eye aging.
Reduces Melanin
Directly inhibits tyrosinase reducing melanin at the source without irritation or PIH.
Biocompatible for Indian Skin
Mushroom-derived, not synthesised. Safe for melanin-rich, sensitive Indian skin types.
Repairs, protects, and brightens three mechanisms no single synthetic active delivers together.
Next-generation postbiotic that accelerates renewal and strengthens the under-eye barrier.
Targets fat accumulation directly responsible for eye bags the cause most serums ignore.
Every conventional eye serum ingredient has a mushroom-science equivalent that delivers the same result without the side effects.
Conventional Ingredient
Vitamin C
Brightens by inhibiting tyrosinase.
Unstable, oxidises quickly, irritates sensitive skin.
Standard Hyaluronic Acid
Draws water to skin surface.
Large molecules stay on surface. Limited structural benefit.
Caffeine
Temporarily reduces vessel dilation.
Effects are temporary. No cumulative benefit.
Retinol
Boosts collagen and cell turnover.
Too potent for under-eye skin. Risk of irritation.
Kinoko Labs Mushroom Alternative
Ganoderma Lucidum Peptide
Inhibits tyrosinase naturally without irritation.
Stable, gentle, validated for Indian and sensitive skin.
Lactococcus Ferment Lysate
Hydrates and strengthens skin density from within.
Smaller bioactive molecules penetrate the dermis.
Quinoa Seed Peptide
Reduces fat accumulation at the biological source.
37% reduction in eye bag volume in 28 days.
Ganoderma Polysaccharides
Rebuild collagen support and combat oxidative stress.
Biocompatible no inflammation, all skin types.
Brown circles need melanin inhibitors. Blue/purple circles need structural collagen support. If unsure, choose a formula targeting all three.
Ingredients are listed highest-concentration first. Key actives appearing in the bottom third are present in amounts too small to deliver results.
Synthetic fragrance is a leading cause of contact dermatitis around the eye. Look for paraben-free and fragrance-free.
Kinoko Labs publishes specific numbers: 37% eye bag reduction, 26% crow's feet reduction measured at 28 days of independent clinical testing.
Gel-cream absorbs instantly. Plumps the undereye and reduces the shadow from dehydration.
Ganoderma inhibits melanin production. Visible brightening begins at week 3–4.
Quinoa Seed Peptide targets fat accumulation. 37% eye bag volume reduction at 28 days.
26% wrinkle reduction in 28 days. Collagen-stimulating actives thicken skin progressively.
Lactococcus Ferment Lysate fortifies the barrier protecting delicate undereye skin.
Results compound over time not a temporary fix. Daily use builds cumulative structural improvement.
Skin feels softer. Morning puffiness noticeably reduced. Dehydration fine lines visibly improved.
Dark patches appear less intense. Skin tone evens and reflects light more uniformly.
26% wrinkle reduction and 37% eye bag reduction driven by consistent twice-daily use.
Skin is firmer, more lifted, and looks genuinely rested. Results become self-sustaining.
Clean skin only. Pat gently never rub. Slightly damp skin improves absorption.
The serum is concentrated. One small drop per eye is all you need.
Ring finger exerts least pressure. Tap gently from inner corner outward along the orbital bone.
Allow full absorption before layering. Tap only never rub or blend.
Apply before SPF. Addresses overnight fluid retention. Layers invisibly under makeup.
Apply before moisturiser. Night is when collagen synthesis peaks maximum benefit.
One drop per eye is correct. Overloading causes migration toward the lash line and wastes formula.
The thin orbital skin has very little elasticity. Always tap never rub or drag.
Clinical data is built on twice-daily consistent application. The cumulative effects require daily signalling to skin cells.
Apply to your inner forearm for 24 hours before first use, especially with reactive or sensitive skin.
Kinoko Labs is built on a single conviction: mushroom science is categorically superior for targeted skincare grounded in decades of mycology research. Three clinically-backed actives, a gel-cream engineered for the thinnest skin on your face, and independent clinical data to back every claim.
37% eye bag reduction, 26% wrinkle reduction, 13% eyelid fold reduction all at 28 days.
Formulation meets FDA standards. Verified, not claimed.
All-skin compatible including sensitive and melanin-rich Indian skin. No synthetic fragrance, no parabens.
Never tested on animals. Every ingredient ethically sourced and sustainably produced.

At ₹1,499, clinically tested, cruelty-free, paraben-free, and made for every skin type on the spectrum.
Clinically proven mushroom science for Indian skin.
Explore All ProductsHydration and puffiness improvement in 1–2 weeks. Visible brightening of dark circles at weeks 3–4. The clinically measured 37% eye bag reduction and 26% wrinkle reduction are achieved at 28 days of consistent twice-daily use.
Serums can significantly reduce dark circles. Hyperpigmentation circles can fade substantially with sustained use. Vascular or hereditary dark circles require ongoing maintenance. Stopping treatment will allow gradual recurrence.
Yes. Formulated for twice-daily use. No synthetic fragrance, parabens, or high-strength actives. Always patch test on your inner forearm for 24 hours before first application.
Completely. Dark circles and puffiness are biological, unrelated to gender. Men may have slightly thicker orbital skin so the timeline may be marginally longer but efficacy is identical.
The star active is Hydrolyzed Ganoderma Lucidum (Mushroom) Extract, supported by Lactococcus Ferment Lysate and Quinoa Seed Peptide. The formula also includes Sodium Hyaluronate, Aloe Barbadensis, Panthenol, Cucumber Seed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, and Calendula Extract.
Yes. Dermatologist-approved, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and all-skin compatible. Mushroom bioactives are inherently gentler than synthetic equivalents, particularly important for Indian skin prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
