Minimalist's Vitamin K + Retinal Eye Cream is the most aggressively formulated eye cream to come out of India's DTC skincare scene โ and it's priced like it has nothing to lose. Phytonadione (vitamin K1) targets dark circles by supporting the microcirculation that causes that blue-purple discolouration under the eyes. Retinal (retinaldehyde, 0.1%) addresses fine lines at one oxidative step closer to retinoic acid than retinol โ faster results with less irritation. The Eyeliss complex (N-hydroxysuccinimide + chrysin + palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + dipeptide-2) is a patented blend specifically designed for periorbital puffiness. Caffeine provides additional vasoconstrictive depuffing. Niacinamide brightens. Two forms of hyaluronic acid plump. At โน999 (roughly $12), this eye cream contains ingredients that would cost $65+ in a US or European equivalent. Minimalist's entire thesis is that Indian consumers deserve clinical formulations at Indian prices โ and this eye cream is the strongest argument for that thesis.

Every retinoid eventually converts to retinoic acid โ but the number of enzymatic steps it takes to get there decides how strong it feels, how much it irritates, and whether you'll actually use it in month three.
