Eye Retinal 0.02
0.02% encapsulated retinaldehyde, buffered for the eye area
Load 3 of 5 · Measured
Up to 3 nights a week
Two to four nights a week for most people, built up from one. Leave an unloaded night on either side while you are finding your pace.
A week has a budget of 12. At 3 a use, this is 4 uses a week if you run nothing else loaded. How the scale works.

Retinaldehyde at half the strength of Retinal 0.04, in a heavier buffered base built for the orbital area. It supports the look of fine texture around the eye, which is the one thing the Eye Cream cannot do.
Load 3, lower than the face retinoids for a reason: the skin here is thinner and less forgiving, so the formula is weaker and the pace is slower. Do not substitute a face retinoid around the eye because it is stronger.
If you already run a retinoid on your face, these are the same nights — not extra ones. Count the higher of the two, not both.
