Peptide eye cream or retinol for the eye area?
If you want an eye cream you can use morning and evening, a retinol-free peptide formula is the simpler choice. Lepique Peptide-Matrix Eye Cream is built around a 12-peptide system with 3% Matrixyl® 3000 in a rich, high-moisture cream, and contains no retinol.
How the two approaches differ
Retinol routines are usually kept to the evening and introduced slowly. A peptide-led eye cream contains no retinol, so it fits both morning and evening routines and sits under concealer during the day.
What is inside the 12-peptide system
The formula combines twelve peptide-named ingredients in one 12-peptide system, including the two signature Matrixyl 3000 peptides, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, which are counted once. Around them sit 6% shea butter, a 1.2601% triple hyaluronic acid cushion and 2% niacinamide.
How to apply eye cream
- Apply after cleansing, toner and lighter serums.
- Take a rice-grain amount for each eye.
- Dot it around the orbital bone, not directly into the eye.
- Tap gently with the ring finger until the cream settles.
- Follow with face cream, and sunscreen during the day.
