Notes
Medik8 Advanced Day Eye Protect™ is a lightweight eye cream formulated with advanced UV filters that provide broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. The formula includes potent antioxidants such as tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (a stable vitamin C derivative), carnosine, caffeine, and ectoin to combat oxidative stress and reduce puffiness around the eyes. Hydrating agents like glycerin and sodium hyaluronate help maintain moisture, while botanical extracts like moringa seed and cocoa seed offer additional skin nourishment. This fragrance-free, non-irritating formula is designed to protect and soothe the delicate eye area while supporting skin firmness and minimizing signs of fatigue. Although claims to minimize dark circles and protect against blue light are made, these effects are not fully validated by product-specific clinical data.
