High-level description: An encapsulated retinal eye cream built on a 4% liposome complex — that is 4% of the liposome-encapsulated retinal ingredient, not 4% pure retinal — with bakuchiol, niacinamide, five plant ferments and three sh-peptides to soften the look of fine lines and firm the eye contour.

Category: Eye Care

A retinal eye cream for fine lines, crepey texture and loss of firmness around the eye.

The retinal is liposome-encapsulated, which releases it gradually and is generally better tolerated on thin eye skin than a free retinal.

A note on the name: Retinal Liposome 4% refers to the percentage of the liposome-encapsulated retinal ingredient in the formula, not to 4% pure retinal. Retinal itself is present at a normal cosmetic level.

Bakuchiol, niacinamide and adenosine work alongside it, with five ferments — soy, ginseng, rice, Job's tears and potato — and three sh-peptides. Fragrance free, alcohol free, with a cushiony texture that does not migrate.

Encapsulated retinal gives you real vitamin A renewal in the one place most people are too nervous to use it.
Bakuchiol works alongside the retinal, so the smoothing support comes from two directions rather than one harsh dose.
Five ferments — soy, ginseng, rice, Job's tears and potato — plus three sh-peptides make it feel like a treatment rather than a moisturiser.
Fragrance free and alcohol free, which matters more around the eye than almost anywhere else.
Curated pick: The step up for anyone who has outgrown a gentle eye cream but is not ready to put a face retinal near their lashes.

Encapsulated Retinal (Retinal Liposome 4% complex) – Vitamin A renewal released gradually, to soften the look of fine lines with less of the sting.
Bakuchiol – A plant-derived smoothing partner that supports firmness without adding retinoid load.
Niacinamide & Adenosine – Help even out tone and support the look of firmer, smoother skin.
Five Plant Ferments (soy, ginseng, rice, Job's tears, potato) – Conditioning ferment filtrates that keep the formula comfortable.
sh-Oligopeptide-1, sh-Oligopeptide-2 & sh-Polypeptide-1 – Peptides that support a plumper, firmer-looking eye contour.
Cholesterol & Rapeseed Sterols – Barrier lipids that keep the eye area comfortable while the retinal works.

After cleansing and toning, warm a pea-sized amount on your ring finger.
Tap gently around the orbital bone, from inner to outer corner. Avoid the lash line.
Follow with your moisturiser.
Use at night. Start twice a week, move to alternate nights after a fortnight, then nightly if your skin is comfortable.
Wear sunscreen every morning. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Step 1: Oil Cleanser → Step 2: Water-Based Cleanser → Step 3: Exfoliator → Step 4: Toner → Step 5: Essence → Step 6: Serum / Ampoule → Step 7: Face Mask → Step 8: Eye Care (This Product) → Step 9: Moisturiser → Step 10: Suncream (AM)

Skin Types: Dry, Normal, Combination, Oily, Sensitive (introduce gradually)

Concerns: Fine lines and wrinkles, loss of firmness, crepey texture, dullness around the eye, early ageing

Pairs well with: Hydrating and barrier layers — hyaluronic acid, ceramides, panthenol and centella. A well-hydrated eye area tolerates retinal far better than a dry one.

Compatible with: Peptides, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, niacinamide and bakuchiol at any time. Vitamin C and any face retinoid are best kept to the opposite slot of the day.

Avoid using with: Exfoliating acids anywhere near the eye contour, and a second retinoid in the same evening. If you already use a face retinal, this replaces it around the eye rather than adding to it.

Layering tip: Apply to dry skin after your serum and before your cream. If you use a face retinoid, put this on first — it gives the eye area a head start before the face product goes anywhere near it.

Pro Tip: Retinal around the eye is a slow build, not a sprint. Two nights a week for the first fortnight is not being cautious, it is the fastest route to using it nightly. SPF every morning is non-negotiable while you are using it.
