Medik8 r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum is an advanced vitamin A eye serum designed to visibly target fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles, puffiness and dryness around the eyes. Powered by Medik8’s exclusive encapsulated retinyl retinoate, the lightweight eye treatment helps create a brighter, smoother and more youthful-looking eye contour while remaining gentle on the delicate under-eye area.

At the heart of the formula is retinyl retinoate, an innovative vitamin A molecule developed to deliver powerful age-defying benefits both day and night. Medik8 states that retinyl retinoate is 8 times more powerful than standard retinol, helping to visibly smooth the appearance of fine lines and refine skin texture around the eyes.

The multi-action formula also combines hesperidin and caffeine to target the appearance of dark circles, puffiness and tired-looking eyes. Multi-weight hyaluronic acid and glycerin help attract and retain moisture, leaving the delicate eye area feeling hydrated, supple and comfortable.

The result is a comprehensive anti-ageing eye serum that targets multiple concerns at once for an eye area that appears smoother, brighter, refreshed and more awake.
