Eye Serums

Skin around your eyes

Nothing is more telling of your health or age than the state of the skin around your eyes. Dark circles, puffiness and wrinkles and lines around your eye appear mainly due to the following:

• Sun damage and other environmental factors
• Poor circulation (including blood and lymph circulation)
• Health problems (various conditions worsen the appearance of the area)
• Bad diet and/or skin care regime

FACT: It is a widely accepted fact that skin around the eyes must be treated with a different level of delicacy than the rest of your face

Do eye serums really need to be part of my beauty regime

Quality eye serums can really kick things up a notch when it comes to your skin care regimen. Here are a few reasons why:

• More concentrated & potent and offer greater penetration level than their counterparts, eye creams
• Serums do not contain heavy oils that most eye creams are based upon. (Oils are common irritants)
• Eye serums usually combine powerful ingredients into a highly reparative compound
• Quality eye serums dramatically improve the area around the eyes without causing reactions
• Great eye serums contain a combination of age fighting, nourishing, and high performing ingredients
• Eye serums cause the skin around the eye area to be revitalized and rejuvenated
• The delicate eye area feels refreshed and has a more youthful appearance after an application
• Due to their luxuriously thin consistency, eye serums quickly sink into the skin and can either be worn alone or layered with a richer eye cream

How to use Retinol Eye Serum

1. In the evening use the integrated spatula to apply Retinol Eye TR directly to the under-eye area.
2. Alternatively, place a drop on your finger and then blend into skin. 1 drop per side is all you need
3. Apply your hydrator as usual after every application.
4. If using Retinol Eye TR in daylight, ensure that an SPF hydrator is applied after every use for optimum under-eye protection. Retinol should not be used in direct sunlight
5. To build up skin tolerance to retinol, allow 3 day intervals between applications for 2 weeks.

Consult with your GP before commencing a retinol regime if pregnant, lactating, undergoing skin peeling procedures or taking prescription medication for acne.
