WHEN SHOULD I USE RETINOL EYE CREAM? PM only. Apply after cleansing, toning, and serums - before moisturiser.

WHY NOT USE IN THE AM? Retinol speeds up skin renewal, making skin more sensitive to the sun. Always use in your evening routine and wear SPF daily.

CAN I USE IT WITH OTHER ACTIVES? Avoid layering with high-strength Vitamin C, AHAs, BHAs, or PHAs in the same routine. Alternate on different nights instead and apply away from the under-eye area.

CAN I USE OTHER EYE CREAMS TOO? Yes - but not layered. Use Retinol Eye Cream at night and try Brighten-i Eye Cream or Caffeiene Eye Cream in the AM to target other concerns.

WHERE EXACTLY SHOULD I APPLY IT? Pat gently around the eye contour using your ring finger. Avoid the eyelids and waterline.

IS IT SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN? It’s formulated with slow-release retinol to reduce irritation. If your skin is highly sensitive or you're pregnant, choose a gentler eye cream.

WHAT AGE IS THIS FOR? Recommended for 25+, when skin cell turnover begins to slow.

WHAT IS RETINOL? A form of Vitamin A that boosts cell turnover and collagen to smooth and brighten skin.

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM RETINOL SERUM? This formula is specifically designed for the delicate under-eye area. It can also be used around the mouth (avoiding lips).

WHAT’S THE % OF RETINOL? Contains 3% Vitalease™ Retinol Compound = 0.09% slow-release retinol.

WHAT’S THE PH LEVEL? 5.0–6.0

HOW LONG TO SEE RESULTS? Up to 6 weeks. Stick with it and don’t overdo it - more isn’t better. Overuse can cause irritation.

IS IT VEGAN? Yes! Certified by The Vegan Society.

IS IT SAFE FOR PREGNANCY? No. We don’t recommend using retinol if pregnant or breastfeeding. Check with your doctor.

CAN I USE THIS WITH PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION? Speak with your doctor before use.
