La Roche-Posay Redermic R Anti-Aging Retinol Eye Cream
Works for
Evens skin toneRetinol, Retinyl linoleateWorks well
“This anti-aging pure retinol face cream helps visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles & age spots.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: retinol.
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
ExfoliationRetinolWorks well
“Pure retinol helps promote the skin's natural exfoliation process and resurface the skin”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: retinol.
Anti-agingRetinol, Adenosine + 1 moreWorks well
“Redermic R Anti-Aging Retinol Eye Cream”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains retinol, adenosine.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
MoisturizingIsocetyl stearate, Glycerin + 9 moreWorks
“While Hyaluronic Acid plumps skin with moisture to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: dimethicone, isocetyl stearate.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Retinol, Caffeine + 2 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (retinol) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

For some reason, probably caffeine, it makes my undereye skin very very dry in the morning. I tried to add moisturizer over it but it didn't help. It absorbs quickly, but in the morning skin is dry and with many fine wrinkles, more than without any cream.
Μου εκανε ζημεια στα ματια και τωρα με τσουζουν πολυ. Δεν την συνιστω.
Buonissimo
