THE STUDY

100%reported skin around the eyes felt smoother and more hydrated
100%liked the immediate absorption and the texture
8.8% mean improvement in the appearance of eye area fine lines and wrinkles, measured by instrument rather than reported. This is the size of the change. The percentages above are the share of people who saw one.

Why it's different
Retinol strong enough to work, on skin thin enough to matter.
-
Two retinols, one gentler by design
Bio-Retinol comes from the lentisk plant, a gentler alternative to conventional retinol. It works alongside a true retinol that is encapsulated in evening primrose to protect its stability. 2.5% of the two together.
-
Made for sleepwrinkles specifically
Most eye creams target the lines you make with your face. This one is built for the ones you get from your pillow, which is why it is an overnight product rather than a morning one.
-
An applicator thatdoes something
The metal-tipped applicator dispenses a measured amount and feels cool on the skin, which helps with morning puffiness. Store it in the fridge and it works harder.
-
Built on juice, notfiller water
SuperJuice Complex™ replaces conventional filler water with organic grape, apple, aloe and lemon juices. Over 2,000 ingredients are excluded by design.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Four ingredients doing the work.
2.5% Bio-Retinol +Retinol Complex
Bio-Retinol from the lentisk plant, plus retinol encapsulated in evening primrose for stability. Together they target the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
INCI: pistacia lentiscus (mastic) gum, oenothera biennis (evening primrose) leaf cellextract / [retinol/soybean]
Peptides and hyaluronic acid
Visibly firm and plump the delicate skin around the eyes. This is the pairing behind the firming and plumping claims.
INCI: acetyl hexapeptide-8, hyaluronic acid
Shea butter and jojoba
The cushioning half of the formula, so a retinol product does not leave the thinnest skin on your face feeling stripped.
INCI: butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter, simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil
Antioxidants and vitamins
Sagrantino SuperGrape and plant stem cells with CoQ10, vitamin C, vitamin E and panthenol, in the SuperJuice Complex™ base.
INCI: vitis vinifera (grape) fruit cell extract, ubiquinone (CoQ 10), magnesiumascorbyl phosphate (Vitamin C), tocopherol (Vitamin E), panthenol (Vitamin B5)
HOW TO USE
Press, trace, pat.
-
1ShakeAlways shake before every use. The serum and the pigments settle naturally, and a good shake brings them back into one smooth, even finish.
-
2ApplyDot onto forehead, nose, cheeks and chin, then blend outward with the Sculpting Foundation Brush or your fingertips. Layer for more coverage.
-
3SetPress with the PHYTO-PIGMENTS Flawless Finishing Powder to blur and lock in a luminous finish.
Tip:
TIP: keep it in the fridge. The cold applicator helps with morning puffiness.
TIP: it also works on the upper lip and the corners of the mouth.

Product details and FAQ
Everything else you might ask.
-
A crease that forms overnight from your face pressing into a pillow, rather than from the expressions you make. They show up most in the delicate skin around the eyes, and over time they can settle in. This eye cream is built to target them, which is why it is used at night.
-
This one is formulated for the eye area specifically, and in the four week study no irritation was observed under the study protocol. That said, the skin around your eyes is the thinnest on your face. If you are new to retinol, start two or three nights a week and build up as your skin tolerates it. Keep it off the lash line and out of your eyes.
-
Yes, and they are designed to be used together. The serum goes on the face, neck and décolleté, and this goes around the eye. Both are 2.5% Bio-Retinol + Retinol, so if your skin is new to retinol, build both up gradually rather than starting them at full frequency together.
-
A gentler retinol alternative derived from the lentisk plant. In this formula it works with a true retinol that is encapsulated in evening primrose to protect its stability, at 2.5% of the two combined.
-
The claims here are about the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, firmness and plumpness. The cool applicator does help with morning puffiness, and keeping it in the fridge makes that more noticeable. It is listed as suitable for under eye dark circles, but the study measured lines and wrinkles.
-
Talk to your doctor before using any retinol product if you are pregnant, planning to be, or breastfeeding. We are not able to advise on this for you.
-
15 mL / 0.5 fl oz. The applicator dispenses a measured amount and you only need a little for both eyes, so most people get around three months from a tube with nightly use.
