Hesperidin Also known as vitamin P, hesperidin is used as a brightening agent. It works by inhibiting melanin transport in the skin, helping to reduce the appearance of dark circles and achieving a fresher, more awake look. Caffeine Known for its vasoconstrictive properties, caffeine is ideal for minimizing the appearance of bags and dark circles. It helps reduce puffiness and dark circles around the eyes, while providing a firmer, lifted appearance. Multiweight Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic acid is known for its exceptional ability to attract and retain over 1,000 times its weight in water. It draws moisture from the deepest layers of the skin for intense hydration, leaving it nourished and revitalized. Glycerin: Working as a natural humectant, glycerin captures moisture in the skin, keeping it hydrated and comfortable. Instructions for use After your morning and evening cleansing routine, gently apply r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum around the eye area, carefully avoiding the eyelids. It is essential to use sunscreen every morning while using vitamin A. Before starting to use the product, it is advisable to perform a patch test.
