Dr. Althea - Retinol Flat Iron Eye Roller 25ml

The Dr. Althea Retinol Flat Iron Eye Roller is an anti-ageing eye serum with a built-in gua sha-inspired roller, designed to smooth fine lines, improve elasticity and refresh the delicate eye area.

Formulated with 1,000ppm (0.1%) Retinol and Bakuchiol, it supports skin renewal and helps soften the appearance of crow’s feet and expression lines. A blend of peptides, including Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5, provides targeted care for fine lines, loss of firmness and under-eye puffiness.

To balance the retinol, the formula contains 5% Cica Retisome™, enriched with Centella Asiatica and Madecassoside, alongside Panthenol, Ceramide NP and Hyaluronic Acid. These ingredients help soothe, hydrate and support the delicate moisture barrier around the eyes.

The flat roller applicator provides a cooling massage that helps distribute the serum evenly and temporarily refresh the appearance of tired or puffy under-eyes.

Use during the evening routine. Gently squeeze the tube to dispense a small amount onto the roller, then glide it around the orbital bone and under-eye area using light outward movements. Gently pat any remaining serum until absorbed.

Avoid applying directly onto the eyelids, lash line or too close to the eyes. Begin two or three evenings per week and gradually increase according to skin tolerance.

Clean the applicator after use and apply sunscreen every morning.
