Description
The skin around your eyes is thin and constantly in motion, which is why fine lines, loss of firmness and a tired, shadowed look often show here first. Medik8 r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum is Medik8's most advanced eye serum, created for mature skin and for anyone who wants to target visible signs of ageing around the eyes with a scientifically backed approach.
How it works
The formula features Medik8's exclusive encapsulated retinyl retinoate, scientifically proven to be 8x more powerful than standard retinol: it visibly smooths and firms the eye contours while the encapsulation keeps it gentle on the delicate under-eye area. Caffeine helps the eye area look fresher and less puffy. Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin bind moisture for a plumper, smoother look, and squalane supports the skin barrier. Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (a stable vitamin C form) and tocopheryl acetate help the eyes look brighter and more awake.
Texture and where it fits in your routine
A light, creamy serum texture that absorbs quickly and never feels tacky, so make-up sits well on top. Thanks to its unique formula it can be used both morning and night - always wear an SPF during the day, such as Advanced Day Ultimate Protect SPF 50+. Apply the serum before your eye cream or moisturiser. Within the CSA routine it pairs naturally with vitamin C in the morning (such as C-Tetra) and your vitamin A at night: Crystal Retinal on the face, this serum around the eyes.
Frequently asked questions
Can I combine it with Crystal Retinal?
Yes. Use Crystal Retinal on the face and r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum around the eyes. Build up gradually and watch how your skin responds.
Is it suitable for sensitive under-eye skin?
The encapsulation allows a gradual release, keeping the formula gentle on the delicate skin around the eyes. If in doubt, start with once daily.
How long does 15 ml last?
You only need a rice-grain amount per eye. Used morning and night, 15 ml typically lasts several months.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the Medik8 r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum actually do for the eye area?
- The Medik8 r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes while also targeting puffiness and dark circles. Caffeine and theobromine stimulate microcirculation, sodium hyaluronate plumps the skin, and a lipid-soluble vitamin C helps brighten the eye area — leaving it looking firmer, smoother, and more awake.
- What makes retinyl retinoate different from regular retinol?
- Retinyl retinoate, the star ingredient in Medik8 r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum, is an encapsulated ester that converts into retinoic acid directly on the skin — without the irritation typically associated with classic retinol. Medik8 states it is 8x more powerful than standard retinol, making it a highly effective yet gentler alternative for the delicate under-eye area.
- Can I use this eye serum during the day, or is it only for nighttime?
- Unlike most retinoid products, the Medik8 r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum is formulated for both morning and evening use. The encapsulation technology shields the retinyl retinoate from light and oxidation, keeping it active around the clock. Medik8 does recommend always wearing SPF during the day for optimal skin protection.
- How do I apply the Medik8 r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum correctly?
- Apply a small amount of the Medik8 r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum to cleansed skin around the eye contours, morning and evening. Use your ring finger to gently pat it in, avoiding direct contact with the eyes. Always apply it before your eye cream or moisturiser to ensure the active ingredients absorb effectively.
- Is this serum suitable for sensitive skin or those new to retinoids?
- Yes — the Medik8 r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum is designed to be gentle on the delicate under-eye area. Because retinyl retinoate converts to retinoic acid without the irritation of classic retinol, it is well-suited for those who find traditional retinol products too harsh. The formula also includes skin-barrier-supporting hydrolysed glycosaminoglycans for added comfort.
- Where does this serum fit in my skincare routine?
- Use the Medik8 r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum after cleansing, applying it before your eye cream or moisturiser. It works both morning and evening, so it fits seamlessly into your existing routine without replacing any steps. Just make sure to follow up with SPF in the morning, as Medik8 recommends for optimal protection.
