Key Ingredients in Minimalist Vitamin K + Retinal 01% Under Eye Cream

Vitamin K

Vitamin K is one of the key highlighted ingredients in this eye cream. Minimalist includes it in the formula for under-eye discoloration and dark-circle concerns.

It is used as part of the product’s targeted approach to improving the appearance of tired-looking or uneven-looking under-eye skin.

Retinal

Retinal is a vitamin A derivative and an intermediate form between retinol and retinoic acid. In skincare, Retinal is commonly used in products focused on visible fine lines and skin texture.

In this under-eye cream, Retinal is included as part of the formula’s fine-line and texture-focused benefits. Because the eye area is delicate, follow the product directions carefully and avoid applying too close to the eyes.

Caffeine

Caffeine is included in the formula for under-eye puffiness concerns. It complements the other ingredients in the product’s multi-target under-eye formula.

Eyeliss

Eyeliss is a combination of ingredients including:

• Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone
• Dipeptide-2
• Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7

According to Minimalist, this peptide-based complex is included to address concerns related to under-eye bags, puffiness and skin firmness.

Haloxyl

The formula also contains ingredients associated with the Haloxyl complex, including:

• Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1
• Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7
• Chrysin
• N-Hydroxysuccinimide

These ingredients are included as part of the product’s dark-circle and under-eye appearance-focused formula.

Hyaluronic Acid

The formula contains Sodium Hyaluronate and Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, forms of Hyaluronic Acid commonly used to support skin hydration and maintain a comfortable skin feel.

Zerumbone

Zerumbone is included as part of the product’s pigmentation and uneven-looking under-eye tone-focused formula.

When Should You Use It?

According to Minimalist, this eye cream is recommended for PM use every day.

Beginner Guidance

If you are new to Retinal or vitamin A skincare:

• Start with a small amount.
• Follow the official usage instructions.
• Avoid applying too close to the eyes.
• Introduce other new active ingredients gradually.
• Monitor how your skin responds.

• Perform a patch test before first use.
• Use only a small amount around the eye contour.
• Avoid applying to irritated or damaged skin.
