The Retinal Eye Cream 15 ml

The Retinal Eye Cream from Ruhi was developed to specifically reduce fine lines and dark circles – mWith an intelligent combination of 0.02% nature-identical encapsulated retinal, plant-based antioxidants, and barrier-strengthening lipids.

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

• Encapsulated Retinal (0.02%) - highly effective, nature-identical form of Vitamin A that stimulates collagen production and visibly smooths fine lines. According to studies, three times more effective and eleven times faster than retinol – with significantly better tolerance.
• Organic Saffron - precious plant extract with strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Protects against oxidative stress, gently brightens pigmentation spots, and prevents collagen breakdown.
  
• Ceramides - skin-identical lipids that strengthen the protective barrier and prevent moisture loss. Support skin regeneration and resilience.
• Bio-based Squalane - derived from sustainable organic sugarcane, it provides intensive care and improves moisture retention. Leaves skin silky soft and supports a healthy skin microbiome.
• Organic Pomegranate Seed Oil - rich in punicic acid, a rare fatty acid with exceptional antioxidant properties. Stimulates cell renewal, enhances elasticity, and balances the skin.
• Organic Aloe Vera Juice - deeply hydrates, soothes, and reduces skin irritation. Ideal for sensitive, dryness-prone skin areas.

The Ruhi eye cream uses the latest generation of Vitamin A – Retinal (retinaldehyde) – in an innovative, nature-identical encapsulation. This active ingredient stimulates collagen production, promotes cell renewal, and refines skin 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 the skin barrier and provide intensive care.

Active Ingredients

• Retinol, Retinal, Retinoid are derivatives of Vitamin A, which plays a crucial role in cell growth processes. Retinol is converted in the body into retinoic acid and then unfolds its power. The vitamin supports the skin's regeneration process, stimulates metabolism, and promotes collagen production. Its plumping effect improves skin texture and makes the skin appear fuller, smoother, and more even. Retinol increases sensitivity to sunlight and should ideally be used with UV protection or in the evening.
• Aloe Vera Extract / Juice (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract / Juice) provides natural moisture, prevents drying out of the skin and strengthens the natural skin barrier. Aloe Vera contains vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and essential amino acids. It supplies the skin with oxygen and is considered effective in supporting cell renewal. It binds moisture, has a cooling effect, and is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial.
• Safran (Saffron (Crocus Sativus)) is a brightening, antioxidant powerhouse with strong anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It removes dead skin cells and excess oil and helps combat blemishes and acne. It can protect against damage from UV radiation and prevent premature skin aging. Lycopene, zeaxanthin, as well as alpha- and beta-carotene help minimize scars, brighten the skin, and make it soft and smooth.
• Squalane or Squalane Oil (Squalane) is a lightweight, non-comedogenic, and non-greasy oil that leaves the skin silky soft. Squalane is a natural component of our skin barrier and is therefore very well absorbed by our skin. It protects the skin from moisture loss and prevents the oxidation of the skin's own fats. The regenerating oil helps prevent age spots, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, makes the skin supple, and promotes oxygen supply and cell regeneration. It is mostly derived from olive oil, less commonly from rice bran or wheat germ oil. For cosmetics, squalene is converted into squalane. Squalane contains no unsaturated compounds anymore and is therefore oxidation-resistant and longer-lasting. By the way, squalane was originally derived from shark liver, hence the name. Squalus is the Latin name for shark.
• Ceramides are lipids (fats) naturally found in our skin. They form the basis of our skin's barrier function. The skin barrier ensures that no harmful substances penetrate the skin and that the skin remains well hydrated. A functioning skin barrier is essential for healthy skin. Ceramides reduce water loss from the skin, also called TEWL (Trans Epidermal Water Loss), protect against environmental stressors, bacteria, and other influences the skin is exposed to. Ceramides are therefore an effective anti-aging ingredient that also helps keep the skin smooth and soft.
• Pomegranate Seed Oil (Punica Granatum Seed Oil) contains the rare Omega 5 fatty acids (punicic acid). These fatty acids have strong antioxidant effects and anti-inflammatory properties. The oil supports the fight against free radicals and premature skin aging, can reduce age spots, and promotes collagen synthesis, thereby aiding skin regeneration and repair. Furthermore, the oil contains secondary plant compounds such as flavonoids, polyphenols, and phytosterols, all of which have strong regenerative effects.
