ClayCo Ginseng Cica Brightening Under Eye Cream With Retinol

ClayCo's Ginseng Cica Eye Cream is formulated with 0.15% Retinal (a Vitamin A derivative marketed as faster-acting and gentler than standard retinol), Centella Asiatica (Cica), Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Alpha Arbutin and Niacinamide. It's positioned as a lightweight, nightly under-eye treatment aimed at visibly reducing the look of dark circles, puffiness and fine lines while soothing and hydrating the delicate eye area. The 15g cream is vegan, cruelty-free, and free from parabens and sulfates, and is marketed as suitable for all skin types.

Key Ingredients

• Retinal (0.15%) — A Vitamin A derivative that helps smooth the look of fine lines and support cell turnover; marketed as faster-acting than standard retinol at a low, gentler concentration
• Centella Asiatica (Cica) — Calms and soothes the delicate under-eye skin while supporting the skin barrier
• Panax Ginseng Root Extract — Supports circulation to help de-puff and energise tired-looking eyes
• Alpha Arbutin — Helps visibly brighten and even the look of pigmentation around the dark-circle area
• Niacinamide — Helps strengthen the skin barrier and supports overall brightening
• Caffeine — Stimulates micro-circulation to help reduce the look of puffiness

How to Use

Cleanse the face and pat dry. Take a small pea-sized amount and gently dot it around the orbital bone, avoiding direct contact with the eyes, then pat gently with the ring finger until absorbed. Suitable for nightly use as part of a routine; as with any retinal-based product, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen the next morning since retinal can increase skin's sun sensitivity.
