Medik8 r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum 15ml

At the heart of the formula is Medik8's patented encapsulated retinyl retinoate technology, an advanced form of vitamin A designed to deliver powerful age-defying benefits while remaining suitable for the delicate eye contour.

Retinyl retinoate is an innovative hybrid molecule combining retinol and retinoic acid. It helps support natural skin renewal and collagen production, visibly improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture.

Laboratory research has demonstrated up to 8 times the activity of traditional retinol in the studied model.

Unlike many conventional forms of vitamin A, retinyl retinoate is photostable, allowing it to be used in both morning and evening skincare routines.

The formula is enriched with targeted ingredients to address visible signs of fatigue and ageing around the eyes.

Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture, helping visibly plump the skin and smooth fine dehydration lines.

Caffeine helps reduce the appearance of under-eye puffiness, leaving the eye area looking fresher and more awakened.

Hesperidin, a citrus-derived ingredient, helps improve the appearance of dark circles and uneven-looking skin tone.

Vitamin E provides antioxidant support, while squalane helps nourish the skin and maintain its natural protective barrier.

A stabilised vitamin C derivative complements the formula, supporting a brighter, more radiant-looking eye area.

Its lightweight yet nourishing creamy texture absorbs comfortably without leaving an excessively greasy finish.

With consistent use, the delicate eye contour appears visibly smoother, firmer, brighter, and more hydrated, while signs of ageing and fatigue become less noticeable.
