Medik8 R-RETINOATE® DAY & NIGHT EYE SERUM

The result of 8 years of work, the revolutionary molecule retinyl retinoate combines traditional retinol and the active form of vitamin A, retinoic acid.

The encapsulated form is exclusive to Medik8 formulations. 8x more powerful than retinol[1], retinyl retinoate works directly without having to be converted to retinoic acid like other forms of vitamin A.

It helps stimulate cell regeneration and support collagen synthesis, resulting in a visibly smoother, firmer and more radiant eye area.

While retinyl retinoate is incredibly powerful, it has been proven to be extremely gentle on the skin, making it perfect for around the delicate eye area.

This form of vitamin A is also photostable, meaning it does not break down in sunlight and can be used both during the day and in the evening.

Humectants multi-weight hyaluronic acid and glycerin infuse hydration into skin for visibly smoother, hydrated eye contours.

r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum is optimized for the eyes, with two additional eye-active ingredients, hesperidin and caffeine, which work to reduce the appearance of dark circles, resulting in a visibly fresher eye area.

*Vitamin A supermolecule, especially for the eyes

Medik8-exclusive retinyl retinoate is proven to be 8x more powerful than retinol[1], yet well tolerated by even the most sensitive skin.

*Hesperidin
Hesperidin, also known as Vitamin P, is used as a brightening agent because it helps suppress the transport of melanin in the skin, leading to a reduction in dark circles for more awake-looking eyes.

*Caffeine
Ideal for reducing puffiness and darkness under the eyes.

Caffeine is known as a vasoconstrictor that can help reduce dark circles while visibly firming and lifting the entire eye area.

*Multi-weight Hyaluronic Acid
With a unique ability to attract and retain over 1,000 times its own weight in water, Hyaluronic Acid draws moisture from the lower layers of the skin to provide intense hydration.

*Glycerin
As a natural humectant, glycerin retains water in the skin to keep it hydrated and comfortable.
