Did you know that the under-eye skin is much more susceptible to showing signs of premature aging compared to other areas? This is because the skin around the eyes is 40% thinner than on the rest of our face and lacks sebaceous glands which makes this area particularly prone to fine lines, dark circles and puffiness. We’ve got the solution to your question on how to achieve a brighter, more youthful-looking eye area. It's simple; it’s never too late for good eye care.
If you’re wondering what makes a good eye cream, here at Medik8, we’ve done the hard work for you. Our range boasts of carefully crafted formulas tailored to suit any eye care concerns. If you are looking to target particular concerns you’ll want to keep reading, we’re going to share our secrets to the key ingredients to look for when choosing the right eye product for you, including our brand new eye care launches.
Hyaluronic Acid > Illuminating Eye Balm
If you are looking to achieve brighter, younger-looking eyes you’ll want to be searching for hyaluronic acid. With the unique ability to attract and retain more than 1,000 times its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid acts like a moisture magnet to infuse hydration into a dry, dehydrated eye area. Look no further than Illuminating Eye Balm, our instant bright eye formula that works to minimize the appearance of puffiness and dark circles by combining soothing natural extracts with sheer, light reflecting minerals that offer lightweight coverage.
Illuminating Eye Balm can be used in the morning after cleansing either underneath or on top of makeup, leaving the eyes nourished, visibly brighter and youthful-looking. It can be topped up throughout the day as and when, to refresh the appearance of the eyes. One of its unique qualities is the subtle colour match tint, formulated with illuminating mineral pigments to enhance the beauty of the delicate under eye area, for a fresh and visibly youthful look that blends seamlessly into all skin tones.
Designed for those looking to:
- Visibly brighten the under eye
- Hydrate the eye area
- Target the appearance of dark circles and puffiness
Hesperidin > Eye Peptides
Had one too many late nights or are you growing tired of your dark circles? You’ll want to be looking for the ingredient hesperidin, also known as vitamin P. Hesperidin helps to visibly brighten under-eyes, which can help to improve the appearance of dark circles. If this sounds about right, you’ll want to be searching for Eye Peptides, our tightening peptide gel that works behind the scenes to create a visible tightening and awakening effect around the eye contours, for a well-rested look.
Eye Peptides can be applied morning and evening to reduce the visible signs of skin aging around the delicate eye contours as well as keeping the skin deeply hydrated. The neutral coloured serum creates a visible tightening effect and sinks into the skin beautifully, making it the perfect base for make-up and reducing the appearance of under-eye creasing. Eye Peptides is crafted with hesperidin, which works to support under the eyes, for an even-toned appearance.
Designed for those looking to:
- Brighten the appearance of the eye area
- Target visible signs of aging around the eyes
- Rehydrate eye contours
Retinol > Intelligent Retinol Eye TR
If you’re looking to target the visible signs of aging around the eye area, retinol is the key ingredient you should be searching for. The classic form of vitamin A, retinol is a gold-standard ingredient in anti-aging skincare. Retinol, also known as vitamin A can help to support natural exfoliation to leave skin around the eyes looking smooth and even-toned.
If you’re considering a retinol eye serum, you’ll have heard of Intelligent Retinol Eye TR. Our supercharged eye vitamin A serum, now upgraded with retinol-booster climbazole, is a high-performance eye serum that works while you sleep to help support the natural exfoliation process, helping to improve the look of skin texture and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eye area. Formulated with Time Release Technology, 0.1% retinol is gently delivered into the skin overnight to ensure skin remains comfortable. Combined with vitamin E for the ultimate nourishment, this eye serum provides all of the retinol power.
Designed for those looking to:
- Soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Hydrate the eye area
- Smooth skin texture
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate > C-Tetra Eye

C-Tetra Eye contains tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a stabilized form of vitamin C. Ever the multi-tasker, it helps to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while promoting visibly brighter skin for youthful looking eyes. Sounds good?
