The Inkey List Retinol Eye Cream 15ml

The INKEY List Retinol Eye Cream is a dermatologist-developed, targeted anti-ageing eye cream from UK-based The INKEY List, formulated specifically for the delicate periorbital skin around the eyes. Its hero technology is 3% Vitalease™ — a proprietary stabilised, encapsulated, slow-release retinol (Vitamin A) delivery system that controls the gradual release of pure retinol into the skin, minimising the irritation, sensitivity and redness typically associated with retinol while preserving its full anti-ageing efficacy. Pure retinol works at the cellular level to accelerate skin cell turnover, stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis, reduce the appearance of fine lines, crow’s feet and wrinkles, and smooth skin texture. The encapsulated Vitalease™ technology makes it gentle enough for the fragile, thin skin of the eye contour where standard retinol formulations are often too harsh. Ethyl Ferulate — a ferulic acid ester and powerful lipophilic antioxidant — synergistically stabilises and potentiates both the retinol and Vitamin E in the formula, protecting them from oxidative degradation and enhancing their overall anti-ageing performance. Tocopherol (Vitamin E) provides additional antioxidant protection and deep emollient nourishment. Sodium Hyaluronate delivers targeted hydration to the eye area, plumping fine lines and maintaining skin suppleness. Glycogen — a polysaccharide energy reserve naturally found in skin — acts as a skin-identical advanced moisturiser and metabolic activator, supporting cellular renewal and improving skin firmness and elasticity. Shea Butter Ethyl Esters — a lightweight, non-greasy derivative of shea butter — provide rich emollient nourishment without the heaviness of traditional shea, making the formula suitable for the delicate eye area without risking milia. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil create a skin-compatible, fast-absorbing lipid base. Copernicia Cerifera Cera (Carnauba Wax) forms a light protective occlusive film over the eye contour, locking in moisture and shielding the skin barrier. The emulsifier system — Cetearyl Olivate + Sorbitan Olivate (Olivem 1000) — creates a skin-biomimetic, non-greasy cream texture. Humulus Lupulus (Hops) Extract delivers anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and soothing benefits, reducing puffiness and calming the periorbital skin. Glycerin + Propanediol provide humectant hydration.
