Medik8 Advanced Night Eye 15ml

Anyone using vitamin A who wants eye-area support alongside it
Fine lines and loss of firmness around the eyes
Puffiness and the appearance of dark circles
Dryness and crepiness in the eye contour
Pregnancy and breastfeeding, when retinoids are off the table
Sensitive eyes that don't tolerate a retinoid eye product
Anyone wanting an effective eye cream without adding another active

Suitable for all skin types.

After cleansing in the evening, apply a small amount around the orbital bone. Avoid the eyelids and the lash line — the product migrates as it warms on the skin, so you do not need to go close.

If you use a vitamin A eye product, apply that first and let it absorb, then follow with this. That order is the whole point of the formulation.

A rice-grain amount for both eyes is enough.

Evening use. There's no photosensitising active in it, but it's formulated as a night cream and is richer than a daytime texture calls for.

No phasing-in required. This can be used nightly from day one.

Matrixyl 3000 — a peptide duo (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7) that signals for collagen production. This is what targets firmness and line depth.

Midnight Repair Complex — saskatoon berry, dragon fruit extract and a cell-repairing peptide. Antioxidant defence overnight, when cellular activity peaks.

Caffeine — constricts blood vessels to reduce the look of puffiness.

Hesperidin — a citrus-derived flavonoid supporting microcirculation, targeting the appearance of dark circles.

Niacinamide — supports the barrier and evens tone.

Hyaluronic Acid & Squalane — hydration and nourishment for skin that shows dryness before anywhere else on the face.

No vitamin A. That is deliberate — the formula is optimised to be layered over a retinoid rather than duplicate one.

Immediate: The eye area feels nourished and looks less crepey. Rich creams do that on night one — it's real, but it's hydration, not change.

Week 1–2: Puffiness response is the fastest visible effect. Caffeine works on the day, not over months.

Weeks 4–6: Dark circle brightness improves where the cause is vascular or pigmentary. Dryness and crepiness noticeably better.

Weeks 8–12: Matrixyl 3000 is a collagen-signalling peptide, so firmness and fine lines are the slowest to shift. This is where they do.

If you're using it alongside vitamin A: the most useful thing it does is make the retinoid comfortable enough to keep using. Consistency is what produces results around the eyes, and barrier support is what buys you consistency.

Dark circles: manage expectations. Pigmentary and vascular shadowing improves. Hollowing does not — that's volume loss, and no topical addresses it.

r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum — apply first, then this over the top. The strongest eye combination in the range.

Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye — if you're using this vitamin A eye cream, you don't need Advanced Night Eye as well; the ceramides are already in it. Choose one.

Advanced Night Restore — the face equivalent. Same Midnight Repair Complex, same logic.

Advanced Day Ultimate Protect SPF50+ — the single biggest factor in how the eye area ages.

Hydr8 B5 — layer underneath if your eye area runs very dry.

Advanced Night Eye — no vitamin A. Antioxidants, peptides and hydration, designed to go over a retinoid or to be used on its own. The pregnancy-safe option.

r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum — retinyl retinoate, morning and night. The most advanced vitamin A option for the eye area.

Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye — retinaldehyde plus ceramides in one step. A vitamin A eye cream that includes its own barrier support.

The simplest way to choose: if you want vitamin A around your eyes, pick one of the other two. If you want eye-area support without adding another active — or you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or your eyes don't tolerate retinoids — this is the one.

Didn't this used to contain retinol?
Yes. It was called Hydr8 Night Eye and it contained vitamin A. Medik8 removed it in the reformulation and rebuilt the product to be used after a vitamin A serum instead. That was a deliberate decision, not a dilution.

Can I use it in pregnancy?
Yes. There's no vitamin A in it, and no ingredient in the formula that is contraindicated in pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you have any doubt, check with your midwife or GP.

Do I need this if I already use a vitamin A eye product?
It's the pairing Medik8 designed. The retinoid does the active work; this supports the barrier and adds peptides and antioxidants. Most people who abandon eye-area retinoids do so because of irritation, and that's exactly what this addresses.

Will it help my dark circles?
It helps the kind caused by pigmentation and poor microcirculation, via hesperidin and caffeine. It won't help hollowing caused by volume loss.

Is it too rich for daytime?
It's formulated as a night cream and the texture reflects that. Use it in the evening. If you want something for mornings under makeup, a lighter eye serum is the better choice.

How long does a 15ml pot last?
Around four months with nightly use, if you're using a rice-grain amount.

Can I use it on my eyelids?
No. Apply around the orbital bone. The product spreads as it warms, so you don't need to go close.
