The Retinal Eye Cream 15 ml

RUHI Retinal Eye Cream was developed to specifically reduce fine lines and dark shadows - with an intelligent combination of 0.02% biomimetic encapsulated retinal, plant-based antioxidants, and barrier-strengthening lipids.

The regenerating eye care has a silky, weightless texture and unfolds its full power overnight.

• Regenerating eye cream - stimulates collagen production, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and diminishes dark shadows
  
• Intensely hydrates & nourishes, protects against oxidative stress
• Suitable for all skin types, especially dry, mature, or sensitive skin
• Key ingredients: 0.02% biomimetic encapsulated retinal, saffron, ceramides, squalane, pomegranate seed oil, aloe vera
  
• vegan, cruelty-free, formulated without fragrance or alcohol, >99% of natural origin, 71% from organic farming

Ruhi Eye Cream uses the latest generation of vitamin A - retinal (retinaldehyde) - in an innovative, biomimetic encapsulation. This active ingredient stimulates collagen production, promotes cell renewal, and refines the skin's texture without causing irritation. The formula is complemented by organic saffron, which stimulates microcirculation and provides antioxidant protection, as well as pomegranate seed oil, ceramides, and squalane, which strengthen and intensely nourish the skin barrier.

The skin compatibility of the Retinal Eye Cream was tested on sensitive skin and rated “very good.” It is best used in the evening, as retinal can make the skin sensitive to light. Also take a look at its sister product: Retinal Serum.

RUHI stands for modern organic active skincare from Germany - pure, effective, and responsible. The brand combines Ayurveda-inspired rituals with dermatologically grounded formulations. Ruhi products are made in Germany in a sustainably operated manufactory specializing in natural cosmetics. 

Key active ingredients

• Encapsulated retinal (0.02%) is a particularly effective form of vitamin A and supports skin renewal as well as collagen structure. It helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles, refine the skin's texture, and make the eye area appear firmer. Retinal requires only one conversion step to active retinoic acid and combines high cosmetic efficacy with good tolerability - especially interesting for targeted slow-aging care of the sensitive eye area.
• Ceramide NP, squalane & shea butter support the natural lipid barrier of the thin skin around the eyes. Ceramides are important components of the stratum corneum and help retain moisture in the skin, while squalane and shea butter complement the lipid film and make dry, rough areas softer and smoother. This combination is particularly valuable alongside retinal and for dry, sensitive, or mature skin around the eyes.
• Aloe vera, glycerin & snow fungus (Tremella) provide the eye area with moisture and help make dehydration lines appear less pronounced. Tremella is rich in water-binding polysaccharides, while glycerin binds water in the stratum corneum and aloe vera complements the care with soothing properties. As a result, the skin looks plumper, smoother, and less tight.
• Saffron extract provides crocins, crocetin, and other antioxidant plant compounds. It supports the skin in protecting against oxidative stress and contributes to a fresher, more even-looking appearance of the eye area. Saffron is a valuable complement to regenerating retinal care, especially for skin that looks tired or dull.
• Pomegranate seed oil & vitamin E complement the formula with antioxidant and lipid-nourishing benefits. Pomegranate seed oil is rich in the characteristic punicic acid and makes dry skin soft and supple, while vitamin E protects skin lipids from oxidative stress. Together, they support a well-cared-for, more resilient eye area.

How to use

• In the evening after cleansing, gently pat a small amount around the eye area. If you have sensitive skin, use it two to three times a week at first and gradually increase the frequency. Please use sun protection during the day.
