HOW IT WORKS

Twin-Encapsulated​​​​​ Retinaldehyde

Proven to work up to 11 times faster than retinol[1], retinaldehyde targets the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, discolouration and uneven skin texture. A twin-encapsulation delivery system produces an ultra-slow release, gradient effect of retinal in the skin to ensure equal power and gentleness.

​​​Ceramides

Found naturally in the skin’s barrier, ceramides easily penetrate the skin to infuse the delicate eye area with rich nourishment, comfort and support.

Hyaluronic Acid Filling Spheres

A breakthrough form of hyaluronic acid that is able to fill in and smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and expand within the depth of the wrinkle to give the appearance of plumpness.

Chamomile Extract

Chamomile extract (also known as bisabolol) is a natural antioxidant that helps to support and visibly calm delicate skin to ensure optimal comfort during use.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND

"Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye has been expertly optimised for the delicate eye area. We based the formula around twin-encapsulated, stabilised retinaldehyde to ensure ultra-slow retinal release. This mitigates irritation around the very delicate eye area without any compromise on results.

Our progressive ladder system with 3 strengths of retinal allows you to start low and slow, moving up in strength when you are ready to intensify results.

Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid filling spheres and ceramides help to address key concerns around the eyes such as fine lines & wrinkles, working to visibly lift and smooth the look of eye contours.

The formula itself is nourishing yet lightweight and soothing; perfectly balanced for the easily-overloaded eye area. The packaging is also designed to deliver optimised dosage for this sensitive area."

HOW TO USE

After cleansing in the evening, apply Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye around the eye area, avoiding eyelids.

Application should be phased in gradually. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night. You should always use a sunscreen in the morning while using vitamin A. New users start at Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 3, and existing users of Crystal Retinal (original) can match the level of their face strength to the eye cream. Patch testing prior to use is advised.
