A-Shaba Complex Retinol Eye Serum with Caffeine + Copper Peptides

Drunk Elephant A-Shaba Complex™ brings retinol to the eye area at a dose the delicate skin there can handle: 0.1% vegan retinol, backed by 3% caffeine for puffiness and copper peptides for elasticity. One serum, three of the most common eye complaints.

What it actually does

• Smooths fine lines gently. The 0.1% vegan retinol improves the look of lines and wrinkles while helping ward off free-radical damage — a deliberately low dose for the eye area.
• Deflates the look of puffiness. 3% caffeine brings antioxidant benefits and, per the brand, visibly reduces puffiness.
• Supports firmness. Copper tripeptide-1 promotes collagen production and improves elasticity, according to Drunk Elephant.
• Brand-reported clinicals. Drunk Elephant cites an 8-week clinical study of 34 people in which 97% showed improvement in the look of under-eye bags, crow's feet and dark circles; at 4 weeks, 88% showed firmer-looking skin. Brand-run study — results vary.
• Vegan, cruelty-free, recyclable packaging.

How to use

1. Morning or night, pat one pump gently under and around the eyes, following the orbital bone.
2. Always pair with broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day — standard practice with any retinol.
3. Store it in the fridge for a cooling, calming application.
4. Brand tip: blend with Ceramighty™ AF (sold separately) for added moisture and barrier support.

Questions

Is 0.1% retinol enough to do anything?

That's the point of the formula: eye skin is thin, so the brand uses a gentle 0.1% dose and supports it with caffeine and copper peptides. Its cited 8-week study reported improvement in under-eye texture for 94% of participants.

Can I layer it with an eye cream?

Yes — Drunk Elephant suggests mixing it with its Ceramighty™ AF eye balm (sold separately) for moisture and barrier-strengthening alongside the retinol.
