Is the skin around your eyes getting thinner, with crow's feet or fine lines appearing? The Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 10 from Medik8 (a retinal eye cream with ceramides, strength 10) is developed specifically for the sensitive eye area. This strength is intended for advanced users who already tolerate lower retinal strengths well.

How it works

The formula combines retinaldehyde (retinal) with ceramides. Retinal works up to 11 times faster than traditional retinol and stimulates cell renewal, visibly reducing fine lines and crow's feet. Ceramide NP restores the skin's natural barrier function, while sodium hyaluronate and squalane deliver intense hydration and suppleness. Bisabolol and shea butter keep the cream comfortable to wear. Thanks to gentle-release technology, the retinal is delivered gradually, minimising the risk of irritation around the eyes.

Texture and use in your routine

A rich yet fast-absorbing cream that leaves no heavy film. Use it in the evening as the vitamin A step of the CSA routine, after cleansing and before your night cream. During the day, pair it with a vitamin C serum such as C-Tetra and always with sun protection, as retinoids make skin more sensitive to UV rays. For extra overnight renewal, add Advanced Night Restore to the rest of the face. Do not layer a second retinal product on the same area.

Frequently asked questions

Which strength suits me?

Strength 10 is for advanced users who tolerate lower retinal strengths well. New to vitamin A? Start lower and build up gradually.

Can I combine it with vitamin C?

Yes. Use vitamin C in the morning alongside SPF and retinal in the evening – exactly the Medik8 CSA philosophy.

Is it suitable for a sensitive eye area?

Gentle-release technology and ceramides minimise the risk of irritation. Start with 2-3 times per week and build up gradually to daily use.

Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 10 combines retinaldehyde with ceramides for the delicate skin around the eyes. Retinal works up to 11 times faster than traditional retinol and stimulates cell renewal, so fine lines and crow's feet are visibly reduced and skin looks firmer and more elastic. Ceramide NP restores the natural barrier function, while sodium hyaluronate and squalane provide intense hydration. Gentle-release technology delivers the retinal gradually, minimising the risk of irritation in the sensitive eye contour.

In the evening, apply a small amount around the eye contour on cleansed skin and tap in gently. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. Start with 2-3 times per week and build up gradually to daily use. Follow with your night cream if desired. Always use sun protection during the day, as retinoids make skin more sensitive to UV radiation.

With consistent use, fine lines and crow's feet look visibly smoother and the skin around the eyes feels firmer and more elastic. The eye area is better hydrated and more comfortable thanks to the ceramides. As with any vitamin A routine, results build gradually over weeks to months.
