After using Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye Treatment for a few weeks, I have mixed feelings about its efficacy. The serum is enriched with retinaldehyde and ceramides, promising to deliver visible results in reducing signs of aging around the eyes, such as crow’s feet, dark circles, and puffiness. While the formula is lightweight and nourishing, I found the results to be less noticeable than expected, especially considering the positive reviews and studies they claim. Additionally, the product comes in a small 15ml size, which can be quite expensive for the price.

On the positive side, Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye is designed with a twin-encapsulation retinal delivery system to ensure a slow and gentle release of retinal into the skin, making it suitable for sensitive areas like the delicate eye area. The combination of ceramides, hyaluronic acid filling spheres, and chamomile extract provide hydration, support, and soothing properties, addressing key concerns around the eyes like fine lines and wrinkles. The formula is carefully balanced for the easily-overloaded eye area, offering a nourishing and soothing experience.

However, I would advise caution, especially for those new to retinol products, as patch testing is essential. The product contains retinaldehyde, which can cause irritation for some individuals. Despite the claims of visible results, I did not notice significant improvements in my eye area even after using the product for four weeks.
