    Caution

    The product seemed absolutely wonderful at first. However, I would be super cautious with it if you have somewhat sensitive skin. At first, my skin didn’t say anything about it, but after a few days, my skin started to peel, and it burned and stung a lot. I immediately stopped using the product when I noticed my skin peeling. Now I’m healing my under-eye area. It looks like the product has "melted" my skin 🥺 I don’t dare to use the product anymore. I used it once a day, always in the evenings, a small drop. Such a shame, because otherwise, I have liked their products.

      Hey Isla! 🩷 I'm so sorry to hear that you've had such a reaction! Products containing retinal can cause such unpleasant symptoms, especially around the delicate eye area. Retinal renews the skin, which can lead to symptoms like redness, stinging, and peeling at the beginning of use. It's advisable to start using products that contain retinal (and all forms of vitamin A) gradually, for example, 1-2 times a week, and increase usage as the skin gets used to vitamin A. The acclimatization phase is especially important, particularly for sensitive skin! To get your eye area back to normal as quickly as possible, I recommend stopping the use of this cream and using a skin-repairing, redness-soothing, and moisturizing eye cream instead 💚 Also, avoid products containing active ingredients until the skin is fully healed. Protect the skin from UV rays, as it is now more susceptible to UV rays and their harmful effects. If redness, stinging, or peeling continues for several days, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for the best possible help! I hope your skin returns to normal soon 🤍
