RETIN-EYE Ⓥ Nature’s Retinol – Collagen Promoting EYE Serum (All Skin Types)
This very lightweight oil based eye serum is suitable to use on all skin types. As it contains no essential oils, its is suitable for use by people with sensitive skin types.
Has a slightly earthy scent with a hint of coffee (from the Coffee Bean Oil).
RETIN-EYE Ⓥ is made up of the following ingredients known for collagen production, hydration and smoothing of fine lines.
A small amount (1-2 drops) is sufficient to dab around eyes, lips and areas with wrinkles/fine lines.
- Bakuchiol – A gentle, plant-derived retinol alternative (Nature’s Retinol). It stimulates collagen production to smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet, improving overall skin texture. It is a non-photosensitising alternative to retinol, making it safe for both morning and evening use, without increasing sensitivity to UV rays.
It remains stable in sunlight and does not cause sun-induced skin irritation, though daily sunscreen is still recommended for overall protection. - Coffee Bean Oil – Beneficial for the delicate skin around the eyes due to its caffeine and antioxidant content. The caffeine in coffee bean oil can improve blood circulation, which can help to reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness under the eyes. It can stimulate collagen and elastin production, potentially leading to firmer, tighter skin around the eyes, which can help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Rich in antioxidants it can help protect the skin from damage by free radicals and environmental stressors.
- Squalane – Deeply hydrates skin, locks in moisture and improves skin texture. It reduces wrinkles and fine lines. Encourages cell regeneration and strengthens the skin barrier. Soothing and anti-inflammatory. Balances sebum production and help with hyperpigmentation.
- Jojoba Oil – Highly beneficial for the delicate skin around the eyes. Provides deep, lightweight hydration that mimics natural sebum to nourish and softening skin without irritation. Reduces fine lines and dark circles.
- Medium Chain Triglicerides (MCT) – is a natural moisturiser that deeply hydrates the skin without a greasy residue, making skin feel soft and supple. Acts as a lightweight emollient, which improves product spreadability and enhances the skin’s feel. Very low PUFA oil.
This Low PUFA lightweight oil based eye serum is the replacement of the ‘old’ PPS Eye Elixer that was discontinued in 2025.
RETIN-EYE Ⓥ Nature’s Retinol – Collagen Promoting EYE Serum (Mornings/Evenings) – Use once or twice a day:
If you do a morning routine with cleansing your face & neck skin with Rooibos Tea, then that is perfect as well. Pat skin dry with towel without drying the skin – your skin needs to feel slightly damp after drying excess water if you start with the HLA² Glo Ⓥ Facial Serum after cleansing.
Focus on specific areas of pigmentation, blemishes/acne or scaring to ensure sufficient coverage with the serum of these ‘problem’ areas to get the desired results.
This lightweight serum gets quickly absorb into the skin. If facial skin tends to be more dry, this serum provides a good oil based foundation before applying your skin type specific Moisturiser.

Use as a skin toner on face and neck (décolletage) before/after applying your Moisturiser and directly after applying the HLA² Glo Ⓥ serum. Can also blend with moisturiser for your skin type.
Gently massage oil into skin before applying your Moisturiser.

Our ‘heavier’ facial serum – Xtra Hydration – Hydrating Serum – can be applied as an oil based moisturiser, or in combination with your skin type moisturiser.
Step 5 – Apply Sunscreen/Sunblock: Apply any of the following products to protect facial skin.

I’m enjoying this serum. I see a visible difference in my frown lines between my eyebrows. No other wrinkles yet, so I’m using it as a preventative measure. I love that it is easy to apply an absorbs nicely without leaving an oily residue.
