Here’s How Retinolite Pycno Undereye Gel Works for You
Pycnogenol: Enhances microcirculation, reduces melanin production, and protects collagen in delicate undereye skin.
Stabilized Retinol: Boosts collagen, refines texture, and promotes even skin tone through gentle renewal.
Squalane + Kalahari Melon Seed Oil: Hydrates deeply and support a healthy, resilient skin barrier.
One gel. Two pathways. Complete undereye care.
Unlike most undereye creams that target just one cause, Retinolite Pycno Undereye Gel addresses both pigmented and vascular components, offering a more complete, science backed solution. Even in structural types, it helps visually soften shadows by enhancing brightness and skin density.
