Why you’ll love it
  • 4% retinal liposome complex — a step up from basic eye creams for fine lines and texture.
  • Niacinamide and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid (vitamin C derivative) help brighten dull under-eyes.
  • Adenosine and peptides support the look of firmness and elasticity.
  • Bakuchiol works alongside retinal for additional smoothing and firming support.
  • Ginseng ferment and rice ferment help support a healthier-looking, more radiant eye area.
Smooths fine lines

Retinal liposome complex, adenosine, bakuchiol, peptides and hydrating ingredients help soften the appearance of fine lines, dryness creases and uneven texture around the eyes.

Supports firmer-looking eyes

Fermented bean extract, retinal, peptides, cholesterol and nourishing emollients help support the look of elasticity and firmness for tired or less bouncy-looking under-eyes.

Brightens dull under-eyes

Niacinamide, 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, ginseng ferment, rice ferment and antioxidant support help improve the look of dullness for a fresher, more awake appearance.

Hydrates and comforts

Glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, macadamia seed oil, hydrogenated lecithin, cholesterol and moisturising ingredients help keep the eye area feeling soft, smooth and comfortable.

Texture

A smooth, nourishing eye cream that spreads easily around the delicate eye area. It absorbs comfortably and leaves skin feeling moisturised, supported and softly refreshed without a heavy greasy finish.

How to use

Apply a small amount around the eye area after serum and before moisturiser. Gently tap with your ring finger until absorbed. Use around the under-eyes and outer corners, avoiding direct contact with the eyes.

Start 2–3 evenings per week and increase gradually if your skin tolerates it well. In the daytime, always finish with SPF. Avoid using on broken, irritated or freshly exfoliated skin.

Avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by a healthcare professional, as this product contains retinal.

Skin type

Best for tired-looking, dull, dry, fine-line-prone, mature and elasticity-concerned eye areas.

Also suitable for customers who want a Korean retinal eye cream for smoother-looking texture, firmness and under-eye radiance. Sensitive skin should patch test first and introduce slowly, especially if new to retinal or retinoid skincare.

FAQ

Is this a retinal eye cream?
Yes. It contains a 4% retinal liposome complex. This is not the same as 4% pure retinal — the liposome encapsulation helps deliver the retinal more gradually.

Is it good for fine lines?
Yes. Retinal, adenosine, bakuchiol, peptides and hydrating ingredients help improve the look of fine lines and dryness creases.

Can I use it every day?
Start 2–3 evenings per week. If your eye area tolerates it well, you can gradually increase use.

Can sensitive eyes use it?
Sensitive users should patch test first and introduce slowly. Avoid applying too close to the lash line or directly into the eyes.

Can I use it with retinol or other retinoids?
Avoid layering with other retinoids around the eye area, especially if sensitive. Alternate routines are usually safer.

Can I use it with exfoliating acids?
Avoid exfoliating acids around the eye area in the same routine. Keep the eye routine gentle.

Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by a healthcare professional, as it contains retinal.

Does it help with dark circles?
It can help improve the look of dull, tired under-eyes, especially when darkness is linked to dryness or lack of radiance. It may not fully correct genetic or structural dark circles.

Can I use it in the morning?
Best introduced at night first. If used in the morning once your skin has adjusted, always finish with SPF.

Who is this best for?
Best for dry, dull, tired-looking, fine-line-prone, mature or elasticity-concerned eye areas that want Korean retinal care with hydration and firming support.
