Timing: Use as the final step before applying facial sunscreen, or as your complete eye area sun protection if not applying facial SPF to the orbital area.

Reapplication: Reapply throughout the day as needed for continued protection. Apply every 2 hours if in direct sunlight for optimal sun protection efficacy.

Layering: Apply after your morning vitamin C serum (such as Medik8 C-Tetra Eye) and before makeup application. Can be layered seamlessly under concealer and eye makeup products.

Expert Tips: For enhanced anti-ageing results, our experts recommend pairing with Medik8 Intelligent Retinol Eye TR in the evening to complement the CSA Philosophy (vitamin C and Sunscreen by day, vitamin A by night). Patch testing prior to use is advised - refer to medik8.co/patch for comprehensive guidance.

FAQ

Q: Can I use Advanced Day Eye Protect if I have sensitive eyes or wear contact lenses?
A: Yes, the fragrance-free, gentle formulation is specifically designed to be suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. The lightweight formula is ophthalmologically considerate and won't migrate into the eyes when applied correctly to the orbital area, avoiding the eyelids.

Q: How does this product protect against blue light from digital screens?
A: Advanced Day Eye Protect contains Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Extract, sustainably sourced from rare Peruvian Criollo Porcelana cocoa. This premium ingredient is rich in protective peptides and saccharides that shield skin photoreceptors from high-energy visible (HEV) blue light whilst neutralising free radicals generated by screen exposure, helping to prevent blue light-induced hyperpigmentation and premature ageing.

Q: What is glycation and how does Carnosine protect against it?
A: Glycation is a natural ageing process where dietary sugars react with structural proteins like collagen and elastin, forming Advanced Glycation End-products (A.G.E.s) that cause these proteins to become stiff and inflexible, leading to fine lines and wrinkles. Carnosine, a multi-tasking dipeptide in this formulation, works to inhibit the glycation reaction, protecting the delicate eye area from this glycation-derived skin ageing whilst also shielding against infrared light damage.

Q: Can I wear makeup over this eye cream?
A: Absolutely. Despite its SPF 30 protection, Advanced Day Eye Protect features an exceptionally lightweight texture with an invisible, non-greasy finish. The formula absorbs rapidly and provides an excellent base for concealer and eye makeup application without pilling or interference with cosmetic products.

Q: How long will one tube last with daily use?
A: With proper application (a liberal amount around the eye area), one 15ml tube provides approximately 3 months of daily supply, representing excellent value for a professional-grade eye treatment with comprehensive environmental protection.

Q: Should I use this product if I already wear facial sunscreen?
A: Yes, our experts recommend dedicated eye area sun protection as facial sunscreens are often avoided near the eyes due to potential migration and irritation. Advanced Day Eye Protect is specifically formulated for the delicate eye area with a non-migrating formula, providing targeted SPF 30 protection where facial sunscreen may not be thoroughly applied.

Q: Can I use this product in conjunction with vitamin A (retinol) eye treatments?
A: Yes, this product complements Medik8's CSA Philosophy perfectly. Use Advanced Day Eye Protect during your morning routine for daytime environmental protection, and pair it with a vitamin A eye treatment such as Intelligent Retinol Eye TR in the evening for comprehensive anti-ageing efficacy. Always use adequate sun protection when incorporating vitamin A into your skincare routine.

Q: How quickly will I see results from using this product?
A: Protective benefits are immediate upon application, with SPF and environmental defence activated instantly. For cosmetic improvements such as reduced puffiness and brighter dark circles, many users notice visible improvements within 2-4 weeks of consistent daily use. Long-term anti-ageing benefits, including reduced fine lines and prevention of premature ageing, develop progressively with continued use as the formulation works to protect and preserve the delicate eye area from environmental stressors.
