Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 6

Retinal in an eye cream with ceramides and shea butter. Rung 6, for skin settled at rung 3 on the face.

Retinal (retinaldehyde) in a lipid-rich eye base — shea butter, squalane and ceramide NP, with phytosterols and linoleic acid. Eye-area skin is thin and registers Vitamin A sooner than the cheek does, so the lipids in the base are not decoration.

Rung 6 sits between 3 and 10. Medik8 publishes no percentage for the eye line, only the rung and an instruction to match your face strength, so that is all we will tell you.

Move up only when the rung below has stopped asking anything of your skin. Finishing the tube you are on before climbing is the sensible order.

Applied in the evening, phased in over about a month. Sunscreen every morning while you use it.

Actives: Retinal (Retinaldehyde), Hyaluronic Acid

Suits: Skin settled at the rung below and comfortable there.

Not for: Skin new to Vitamin A, or currently reactive. Not for the eyelids. Not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
