Facetheory Retinal Supreme Eye MultiBalm

Facetheory, the leading innovator in effective science-led skincare solutions, has expanded their retinal offering with the launch of the NEW Retinal Supreme Eye MultiBalm. Setting a new standard in anti-ageing eye care.

Formulated with scientifically proven ingredients, Facetheory Retinal Supreme Eye MultiBalm is a serum-infused overnight eye balm with sustained-release retinal and Granactive Retinoid®, firming peptides, brightening vitamin C and hexylresorcinol, plumping hyaluronic acid and squalane in a nourishing tri-butter blend.

Designed for those looking to effectively target all signs of ageing around the eye and suitable for all skin types, this nourishing balm melts into skin, offering a multitude of benefits including reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, firming the skin around the eye area, brightening dark circles, plumping, and smoothing the eye contour, antioxidant protection, and hydrating and nourishing the skin.

Retinaldehyde, a potent form of vitamin A, is seeing strong growth in the skincare industry due to its powerful anti-ageing and skin-rejuvenating properties. This ingredient provides many of the benefits associated with retinol but often with reduced irritation, making it particularly appealing to consumers seeking effective but gentle skincare solutions. Several factors are driving the rise of retinaldehyde-based products. First, consumers increasingly prioritise visible results without compromising skin health, especially for anti-ageing purposes. This aligns well with retinaldehyde’s ability to support cell turnover, reduce fine lines, and improve skin texture.

Another contributing trend is the broader consumer shift towards personalised skincare, which has encouraged brands to develop products that suit a variety of skin types and sensitivities - with retinaldehyde offering an effective option for those who cannot tolerate more aggressive ingredients.

Key ingredients include:

Retinal - 20x more potent than retinol, so a smaller amount is needed to be effective. This is a next generation retinoid that directly converts to retinoic acid, so it is less likely to irritate your skin. It also effectively targets all signs of ageing, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture. It is also responsible for giving the formula its unique yellow colour.
Granactive Retinoid® - Improves skin clarity and effectively targets all signs of ageing, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture with low levels of irritation.
Marine Bio-Retinol - Derived from Mediterranean microalgae and clinically proven to help boost production of collagen.
Vitamin C - Brightens the skin, evens skin tone, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Peptides - Reduces wrinkles, firms’ skin and boosts elasticity.
Hexylresorcinol - Provides antioxidant protection, helps prevent collagen breakdown, increases skin firmness and brightens dark circles.
Squalane - Derived from organic olives with a natural affinity to skin, this antioxidant lightweight lipid protects the skin barrier and seals in moisture.
Chamomile - Packed with antioxidants and famous for its skin soothing properties.
Coca, Shea, and Mango Seed Butters - Rich in antioxidants, this blend of soothing butters help to maintain a healthy skin barrier, soften, and hydrate the skin.
