Safety Notes

• When starting, keep your routine simple. Avoid layering with retinoids, strong acids (AHA/BHA), or other actives in the same evening.
• Retinal increases cell turnover, so fresher skin is revealed — SPF is essential every day.
• If irritation occurs, pause and reintroduce slowly.
• Pregnant or nursing? Retinal isn’t recommended — please check with your healthcare provider.

Patch-test first! Every skin is unique — what my skin loves, yours might not. Dab a little behind your ear or on your jawline and wait 24h before full use.

Key Ingredients Explained

Ginseng Root Extract (Panax Ginseng) – A hero ingredient in traditional Korean medicine, rich in saponins and antioxidants. It helps support circulation, reduce puffiness, and firm the under-eye area over time.

Retinal – A more potent but gentler form of vitamin A than retinol. Speeds up cell turnover, helps reduce fine lines, and smooths skin texture — without the typical irritation. Time-released for better tolerance in delicate eye areas.

Niacinamide – A brightening multitasker that helps reduce the appearance of dark circles, supports the skin barrier, and improves overall skin tone. Great for tired, uneven under-eyes.

Macadamia Seed Oil – A nourishing plant oil rich in oleic acid and squalene. Softens and replenishes the delicate eye area without feeling greasy.

Cholesterol + Ceramide NP – These are skin-identical lipids that restore and reinforce your natural barrier. Especially important for dry or sensitive under-eyes prone to flaking or irritation.

Peptides (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5) – A small-chain peptide that supports collagen production and improves skin elasticity over time. Helps prevent and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Sodium Hyaluronate – A humectant that draws moisture into the skin and helps plump fine lines from within. Lightweight and non-sticky — layers well under makeup or SPF.

Cocoa Extract (Theobroma Cacao) – Antioxidant-rich and skin-soothing. Helps protect against environmental stressors while softening and conditioning the skin.

Hydrogenated Lecithin – An emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent that mimics natural skin lipids. Helps active ingredients penetrate more effectively while calming sensitivity.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E) – A classic antioxidant that supports skin repair and helps defend against premature ageing caused by environmental stress.
