Beauty buffs looking for a product that has been proven to reverse the signs of ageing are raving over one “youth activating” serum that beats another major brand.
It is the R-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum from celeb-approved brand Medik8. The specialist serum, which uses potent active ingredients, has been warmly received by customers, with many buying second or third bottles.
The serum uses the firms unique active ingredient, retinyl retinoate, which is proven to be eight times more effective than standard retinol in delivering age-defying benefits throughout the day and night. It is said to “dramatically” fade the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
This innovative formula not only smooths the appearance of eye contours but also visibly reduces puffiness and dark circles while being gentle on the delicate under-eye area. The result is a noticeably brighter, smoother and more awakened eye area, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Priced at £99 for a 15ml tube, the R-Retinoate Day and Night Eye Serum may seem costly, but shoppers insist ‘a little goes a long way’. Additionally, it can be used both during the day and at night, which is unusual for retinol products, meaning you don’t need to purchase separate eye creams for your morning and evening routine.
It’s important to note that retinol-based skincare can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so we strongly recommend using sunscreen every day, even if it’s cloudy outside. The La Roche-Posay Anthelios 400 Invisible Fluid SPF50 50ML (£16) is a great choice from Boots, or check out the SPF 50 Face Lotion from Beauty Bay, which costs £9.
Medik8’s R-Retinoate Day and Night Eye Serum has an impressive 4.6 out of five review-rating. Beauty fans love how it reduces the appearance of ageing around their eyes, with some even ditching their makeup.
