Beauty review: Murad Retinal ReSculpt Eye Treatment

I’m a firm believer that every single person over the age of 25 should be using some form of retinoid to optimise their skin health —and pretty much every skin specialist will agree with me. The vitamin A derivative is a virtual skin health powerhouse that speeds up cell turnover, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and boosts collagen. But one benefit you don’t usually see listed on the label? The ability to sculpt, which is in part why Murad’s Retinal ReSculpt Overnight Treatment, which starts working in as little as two weeks, continues to sell out time and time again.
A true retinoid is generally prescription only, and if you want to buy something over the counter to address your concerns, you pretty much have two options: retinol and retinal. The latter, which is used in Murad aforementioned product, has been clinically proven to work nearly 11 times faster than traditional retinol, and I am a huge fan of the Retinal ReSculpt Overnight Treatment for exactly that!

Now it has been joined by a next-gen eye cream that reduces the appearance of deep-set lines and wrinkles, visibly lifts and firms droopy, sagging lids and folds, and restores visible elasticity, and yep – it’s also powered by retinal.
Perfect for all skin types, Retinal ReSculpt Eye Lift Treatment delivers retinal encapsulated in an exclusive delivery system for enhanced stability and targeted delivery deep within skin’s surface, allowing for 2.5x more effectiveness (vs. free retinal)—while still being gentle on delicate under-eyes and lids. Pure joy to use (only in the evenings, mind), its powers also come supercharged with re-sculpting gentian root extract and oat sugar extract to amplify retinal’s benefits—especially on droopy eyelids and folds—for a lifted, firmer and tightened appearance
While powerful, I love that this is gentle enough for nightly use, and that it’s blissfully free of nasties like parabens, formaldehydes, phthalates, mineral oil, oxybenzone, and sulphates SLS & SLES. It is also gluten-free, cruelty-free, and comes in recyclable packaging, just the icing on the cake!
Applied in the evening on a clean face, you pat this beauty around the eye orbital bone and the lid, just below the brow. Don’t get too close to the lash line and as always, keep that sunscreen coming the next day.
If you love Murad’s Retinal ReSculpt Overnight Treatment as much as I do then grabbing a pot of this little wonder is a no brainer, but for those that are yet to fall for its charms? Grab one anyway – you won’t be disappointed.
