What the gurus are saying

Retinaldehyde at clinical strength around the eyes has gurus crediting it with visible smoothing of fine lines and a plumping effect that lasts through the day. The texture earns consistent praise for being silky and hydrating without heaviness, and the three-tier strength system means those new to retinoids around the eyes can start gently and build up as their skin adjusts, which helps lower the risk of irritation. One note: the amber color from the retinaldehyde may help tone down under-eye darkness if yours leans purple rather than brown.

"This is my 2024 product of the year, my very favorite product that I feel like has made the biggest gamechanging difference on my skin. It's an anti-aging eye cream by Medik8 called Crystal Retinal Camide Eye. There are actually three versions of this anti-aging eye cream in three different strengths: a 3, a 6, and a 10, so you can start low and ladder up to get results as your skin adjusts to decrease your risk of side effects. This has retinaldehyde in it, which is the best anti-aging ingredient you can get over the counter, but it's very gentle on the eyes. It's made a lot of difference to my fine lines this year more than any eye cream I've ever used in the past. So it is a little bit of a splurge, but it's the cheapest you can get this all year long right now because it's 30% off."

"This has become one of my favorite eye treatments. I've been a long time fan of Medik8 for years now, and I've been the biggest fan of their crystal retinals. I credit them for being such a big part of my retinoid journey. I was really excited when these came out because I feel like this area around my eyes can benefit from something more, a lot lot more potent, and these are the first clinical strength retinoid formulas for the eyes. The texture for me is about as good as it gets. It is moisturizing enough, it's hydrating enough, it's silky enough. It doesn't sit heavily on the skin at all, but I just love how moisturizing it is. It plumps out the fine lines, gets rid of any kind of crinkles. I find that the yellow color from the retinoid really seems to work to neutralize the darkness under my eyes because my darkness is more of the purpley bruisy kind. I've not experienced sensitivity since I started using this."
