Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 3 is engineered to deliver visible results, transforming the eye area with consistent nightly application. The twin-encapsulated retinaldehyde ensures a steady, ultra-slow release, maximizing efficacy while minimizing irritation, even for delicate skin.
Upon application, the formula's rich texture, fortified with ceramides and hyaluronic acid, immediately provides a nourishing feel. Users can expect to notice improvements in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly 'crows feet,' as the retinaldehyde works to enhance skin cell turnover and collagen production. The inclusion of hyaluronic acid filling spheres helps to visibly plump the skin, reducing the depth of wrinkles and providing a smoother look.
Additionally, the chamomile extract (bisabolol) contributes to a soothing experience, counteracting potential sensitivities. Over time, the eye area will appear visibly depuffed, brighter, and more lifted, reflecting a more youthful and refreshed complexion. The 'overnight' effect refers to the active work the product does while you sleep, with visible improvements accruing over weeks of consistent use. Remember that individual results may vary, but the clinically proven formulation provides a strong foundation for significant aesthetic benefits.
Cleanse: Begin with a clean, dry face after your nightly cleansing routine.
Apply: In the evening, after cleansing, dispense a small amount (about the size of a grain of rice) of Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 3 onto your ring finger.
Dab: Gently dab the product around the orbital bone, avoiding direct contact with eyelids and tear ducts. Start slowly, applying every other night for the first two weeks, then gradually increase to nightly use as your skin tolerates it.
Absorb: Allow the product to fully absorb before applying any other eye creams or moisturizers.
Vitamin A Beginners: This strength (Crystal Retinal 3) is specifically designed for individuals new to vitamin A. If you have previously used higher strength retinoids, you might consider the Crystal Retinal 6 or 10 variants.
Sensitive Eye Area: The gentle, nourishing, ophthalmologically tested formula is suitable for the delicate skin around the eyes.
Other Skincare: Can be integrated into an existing skincare routine. Always apply vitamin A products before heavier creams or oils.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain product stability and efficacy. Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use.
Shelf Life: Refer to the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging, usually 6 or 12 months, for how long the product is good after opening.
Sun Protection: Always use a high-factor broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, as vitamin A can increase sun sensitivity.
