KEY INGREDIENTS

0.03%-0.1% Twin-Encapsulated Retinaldehyde, Patent-Pending Retinal Stabilisation System, Ceramides, Hyaluronic Acid Filling Spheres, Chamomile Extract, Dermatologically Tested, Ophthalmologically Tested

  • Twin-encapsulated retinaldehyde, 0.03% to 0.1% — vitamin A released ultra-slowly to target fine lines, wrinkles, texture and firmness while staying gentle on the eye area.
  • Ceramides — mimic the skin's own barrier lipids to replenish and nourish.
  • Hyaluronic acid filling spheres — expand within the wrinkle to plump out its appearance.
  • Chamomile extract (bisabolol) — a natural antioxidant with soothing, anti-inflammatory properties for delicate skin.

Fragrance free. Dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested. Vegan.

How to use

Use in the evening, on clean skin. Patch test 24 hours before your first application.

  • Cleanse and pat the skin dry.
  • Apply a small amount around the eye area, avoiding the eyelids.
  • Let it absorb before the rest of your night-time routine.

Phase it in gradually: twice a week for the first two weeks, every other night for the next two weeks, then every night. Finish one tube before moving up to the next strength. Always wear a sunscreen in the morning while using vitamin A.

FAQ

Which strength should I start with?
Start at 3 if you are new to vitamin A or your skin is sensitive. Finish the tube, then move up to 6 and later 10 as your skin gets comfortable.
Can I use it every night?
Not straight away. Phase it in over four weeks — twice weekly, then alternate nights, then nightly.
Do I need another eye cream on top?
No. It is designed as a complete night-time eye treatment on its own.
Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Vitamin A is generally avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Speak to your GP or midwife first, and ask us about an alternative.
Do I still need SPF?
Yes. Always use a sunscreen in the morning while you are using vitamin A.

Wake up to smoother eyes.

An overnight eye cream built around retinaldehyde, the form of vitamin A that works faster than retinol. It is twin-encapsulated for an ultra-slow release, so the delicate eye area gets the benefit gently — 100% of sensitive skins in Medik8's study agreed strength 3 was gentle.

It comes in three strengths, from 0.03% to 0.1%, so you start low and move up a rung once your skin is comfortable. Ceramides and hyaluronic acid filling spheres do the nourishing, which means it works as a complete night-time eye cream on its own.
