How To Use

Application: After cleansing in the evening, apply a rice-grain-sized amount of Crystal Retinal® Ceramide Eye around the eye area, carefully avoiding the eyelids. Gently pat into the skin using your ring finger until fully absorbed.

Frequency: Application should be phased in gradually. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night once skin has built tolerance.

Timing: Evening use only

Layering: Apply after all face serums but before your nighttime moisturiser. Can be used in conjunction with Crystal Retinal facial serum for comprehensive anti-ageing benefits.

Expert Tips: Ladder up your visible age-defying results over time. New users or those using Crystal Retinal 1-3 for the face should choose Eye 3. If you already use Crystal Retinal 6 for the face, match to Eye 6. Those using Crystal Retinal 10-20 for the face can use Eye 10. Always use a sunscreen in the morning while using vitamin A.

FAQ

Q: Which strength should I choose if I'm new to vitamin A?
A: If you're new to retinaldehyde or vitamin A products, we recommend starting with Crystal Retinal® Ceramide Eye 3 (0.03%). This allows your skin to build tolerance gradually. If you already use Crystal Retinal for your face, you can match your current facial strength: those using Crystal Retinal 1-3 should use Eye 3, Crystal Retinal 6 users can use Eye 6, and Crystal Retinal 10-20 users may use Eye 10.

Q: How long until I see visible results?
A: Clinical studies demonstrate that 94% of users experienced a visible improvement in the appearance of wrinkles after just one use. However, optimal results develop progressively over 12 weeks of consistent use, with 97% of participants reporting significantly more youthful-looking eyes, reduced fine lines and enhanced radiance after this period.

Q: Can I use this if I have sensitive eyes or wear contact lenses?
A: Yes, Crystal Retinal® Ceramide Eye has been ophthalmologically tested and is suitable for sensitive eyes. In clinical trials, 100% of participants with sensitive skin agreed the formula was gentle. However, always avoid direct contact with the eyelids and eyes. If you wear contact lenses, apply the treatment after removing lenses in the evening.

Q: Why do I need to phase in the application gradually?
A: Although Crystal Retinal® Ceramide Eye is formulated with twin-encapsulation technology for enhanced gentleness, the delicate eye area benefits from gradual introduction to retinaldehyde. Phasing in allows your skin to build tolerance, minimising the potential for sensitivity whilst maximising long-term results. This approach ensures optimal comfort throughout your treatment journey.

Q: Can I use this product in conjunction with other eye treatments?
A: Crystal Retinal® Ceramide Eye is designed as an all-in-one nighttime eye solution. It can be layered with facial serums and moisturisers as part of your evening routine. However, avoid combining with other vitamin A eye products or potent actives around the eye area without consulting one of our skincare experts for personalised guidance.
