Revive Eye Serum: Ginseng + Retinal

Category
Eye cream
Fragrance-free

How to use

Apply a small amount around the eye area, avoiding direct contact with the eyes. Because it contains retinal, use it in your evening routine, start a few times a week to build tolerance, and patch-test first if you have sensitive skin. Retinoids can increase sun sensitivity, so pair with a broad-spectrum SPF every morning. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical advice, as it contains a leave-on retinoid.
