Reviews

Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 3 FAQs

What is Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 3 and what does it do?

Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 3 is a gentle, beginner-friendly night cream containing 0.03% retinal, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid. It targets fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness to leave the under-eye area smoother, brighter, and refreshed.

Who should use Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 3?

This eye cream is ideal for first-time vitamin A users or those with sensitive under-eye skin who want effective anti-ageing results without irritation.

Can I use it with other Medik8 products?

Yes. We recommends applying vitamin A products at night and vitamin C in the morning. For extra hydration, follow with Advanced Night Eye after applying Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 3.

How do I apply Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 3?

A: Apply a small amount to the under-eye area in the evening, avoiding eyelids. Start slowly: twice a week for the first 2 weeks, then every other night for 2 weeks, before progressing to nightly use. Always apply sunscreen the next morning.

When will I see results?

With regular use, improvements in fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness can be noticed within 4–12 weeks. Results depend on skin type and routine consistency.

Can this eye cream be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Vitamin A derivatives are generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Consult your doctor before use. For personalised guidance, book a Face Dr skincare consultation.

How does Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 3 differ from higher-strength eye creams?

Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 3 is designed for beginners, with a gentler retinal concentration to reduce irritation while still smoothing fine lines, brightening dark circles, and improving firmness. Higher strengths, like 6 or 10, deliver stronger anti-ageing effects for experienced retinal users.

What ingredients make it effective?

Key ingredients include twin-encapsulated retinaldehyde for gentle, gradual vitamin A release, ceramides to strengthen the skin barrier, hyaluronic acid filling spheres to plump fine lines, and chamomile extract to soothe the delicate under-eye area.
