Additional information
What it does
Late nights show around the eyes first. Elixir is a lightweight eye gel with hyaluronic acid and aloe vera to hydrate the delicate skin under the eyes, plus vitamin A (retinol) and vitamin C. It absorbs quickly with no greasy film, helping the eye area look smoother, brighter and more rested.
Key ingredients
- Hyaluronic acid — holds moisture in the skin.
- Aloe vera — soothing and hydrating.
- Vitamin A (retinol) — a well-known skincare ingredient for smoother-looking skin.
- Vitamin C — helps skin look brighter.
How to use
- After cleansing, take a small amount on your ring finger.
- Gently pat around the eye area along the orbital bone — don’t rub, and keep it out of the eyes.
- Let it absorb before moisturiser.
- Best used in the evening; wear sunscreen during the day when using retinol products.

Questions
Do men need an eye cream or gel?
Not essential, but the skin under the eyes is thinner and shows tiredness first. A light gel hydrates it and helps it look fresher.
Eye gel or eye cream?
Gels are lighter and absorb quickly with a cooling feel — good if you don’t like heavy creams. Creams are richer.
Can I use it every day?
Yes, but because it contains retinol, start every other evening and build up, and use sunscreen during the day. Stop if your skin feels irritated.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Retinol can be too much for some sensitive skin. Patch test first and introduce it gradually.
