Retinol Eye Concentrate, 15ml
A lightweight concentrate designed to smooth the skin in the delicate eye area, this targeted eye treatment is formulated with a milder strength of retinol to gently reduce fine lines and uneven skin tone without irritation. The long-lasting lamellar structure forms an invisible film around the active ingredients to ensure stable, gradual release into the skin – prolonging the presence of retinol in the skin and therefore its efficacy. The triple-action roller ball applicator delivers added lymphatic drainage when massaged into the skin. If new to retinol, introduce at night 2-3 times a week, building to every other night. For those already using retinol, use nightly.

Matched with Retinol for age-renewal benefits, the skin will be smoothed and firmed. The first signs of fine lines will be prevented, and the existing appearance of fine lines will be reduced. The addition of Aloe Vera strategically soothes to minimise the risk of irritation around the delicate eye area.
