Key ingredients
Retinol 0.1% + 5% Cica Retisome — Sensitive Retinol Delivery
Retinol at 1,000ppm (0.1%) is confirmed for fine line reduction, collagen stimulation, and skin renewal. CicaRetisome™ 5% is an encapsulation technology that wraps retinol in a Centella Asiatica and Madecassoside shell — slowing its release to reduce irritation and making it significantly gentler for the delicate eye area. Retinol's benefits, with built-in sensitivity management.
Bakuchiol — Plant Retinol for Daytime Option
Bakuchiol activates the same skin receptors as retinol — stimulating collagen production and smoothing fine lines — without retinol's photosensitivity. Its inclusion alongside retinol creates a dual-pathway approach: the retinol drives deeper renewal (use PM); the bakuchiol provides complementary support and can be used AM if needed.
PDRN + 3 Peptides + Ceramide NP + Cholesterol
Sodium DNA (PDRN) supports repair and regeneration. Three peptides — Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 (reduces puffiness and dark circles), Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 (collagen stimulation), and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 / Argireline (relaxes expression lines) — each target a different aspect of eye-area ageing. Ceramide NP and Cholesterol rebuild the delicate barrier around the eye.
Built-in Flat Iron Gua Sha Roller
The flat, wider metal roller tip (shaped like a mini gua sha tool rather than a standard ball roller) covers more surface area per stroke and allows for a lifting outward-and-upward massage motion. The cool metal helps de-puff by constricting blood vessels on contact, while the rolling motion promotes lymphatic drainage. No hands needed — hygienic and mess-free application.
Product details
Full description
The Dr. Althea Retinol Flat Iron Eye Roller is an anti-ageing eye serum with a built-in gua sha-style flat iron roller applicator — designed to deliver retinol and a comprehensive anti-ageing active system to the eye area with a simultaneous lifting massage, without the hand contact and formula wastage of traditional eye cream application.
The retinol delivery system is engineered for eye-area sensitivity: Retinol at 0.1% (1,000ppm) is effective for fine lines and collagen stimulation, while 5% CicaRetisome™ encapsulates the retinol in a Centella Asiatica and Madecassoside shell that controls its release rate — reducing irritation significantly compared to unencapsulated retinol. Madecassoside is listed separately in the INCI, providing additional standalone cica soothing alongside the encapsulation system. Bakuchiol complements the retinol with a second, photostability-independent pathway for collagen stimulation.
Three targeted peptides address different eye concerns: Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 (under-eye puffiness and dark circles), Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 (collagen production), and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 / Argireline (expression line relaxation). PDRN (Sodium DNA) adds repair and regeneration depth. Ceramide NP and Cholesterol protect the barrier. Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, and Betaine hydrate. Tocopherol (Vitamin E) stabilises the retinol. Echinacea Purpurea Extract adds antioxidant support.
The flat iron roller tip is wider and flatter than a standard roller ball — modelled on gua sha tool geometry for broader coverage and a more effective lifting stroke. Fragrance-free. Vegan. PM use recommended — follow with SPF in the morning if used AM.

How to use
- 01Apply after cleansing and toner, before moisturiser. PM use recommended.
- 02Press gently on the pump to dispense a small amount of serum onto the flat iron roller tip.
- 03Roll the applicator outward and upward around the eye area — from inner corner to outer corner, then upward along the brow bone. Repeat 3–5 times per eye.
- 04Gently pat any remaining serum into skin with fingertips until absorbed.
Best paired with
Use before the Dr. Althea Retinol 0.1% Pure Serum as part of a full retinol anti-ageing routine — the roller delivers targeted retinol to the eye area first, then the serum covers the full face. New to retinol: start every other night and build up to nightly use over 2–4 weeks.
Suitable for
All skin types. Particularly effective for:
- Fine lines, crow's feet, and expression lines around the eyes
- Loss of firmness and elasticity in the eye and brow area
- Those wanting retinol eye care with built-in sensitivity protection
- Puffiness and dark circles — Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 + cool metal roller
Fragrance-free. Vegan. PM use recommended. New to retinol — start every other night. Contains encapsulated retinol (CicaRetisome 5%) for reduced irritation. 25ml.
