Revive Eye Serum: Ginseng + Retinal

Freddie’s takeProbably the most interesting active-led formula on my list. Stabilised retinal liposomes sit alongside ginseng, and NP, so the supporting ingredients deeply hydrate and protect the barrier rather than it simply being a retinal serum marketed for the eyes.
