Drunk Elephant shows us how with their new eye cream that uses plant-based retinol.
More often than not, people will say that retinol is a product that should be used at night before bed. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not because it will cause damage but dermatologists say that this is because if used in the daytime, retinoids may degrade under sun exposure and would lose their effectiveness. It wasn’t until recently that we discovered that it can actually be used in the daytime too.
But not every skincare product is created the same–including retinols. Enter the A-Shaba Complex Eye Serum by Drunk Elephant—it’s a gentle smoothing and moisturizing eye serum that includes 0.1% retinol that is plant-based. It also has antioxidant-rich caffeine and copper peptides to reduce puffiness and give a more youthful glow.
The plant-based retinol itself was formulated to improve skin elasticity while lessening the look of wrinkles and fine lines, and is a retinol that’s more stable, so it stays efficient despite exposure to sun. To use Drunk Elephant’s A-Shaba Complex Eye Serum, use one pump of the product and gently pat around the eyes including the orbital bone area. This retinol can be used day or night. But, make sure to always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen along with it.
