eye\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"lede\"\u003eIt is a slim pink barrel about the size of a lip balm. You wind up a sliver of soft white balm, glide it along the bone under your eye, and pat it in with a fingertip. That is the whole product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost eye moisturizers come in a small glass pot. You dip a finger in, and every dip puts whatever is on that finger back into the pot. A stick skips that entirely. The balm only ever touches your skin, the barrel closes, and it goes in a pocket without leaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a moisturizer. It softens and conditions dry skin around the eye, and skin that is not dry looks smoother and less papery than skin that is. That is what we claim and it is the whole of what we claim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"band t\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"in\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"eyebrow ctr\"\u003eRead this before you read anything else\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ctr\"\u003eThe name on this carton says retinol. The ingredient list on the same carton does not.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nar\" style=\"padding:0\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maker, Shantou Youjia E-Commerce Co., Ltd. (FDA establishment number 711173127), filed the printed artwork for this exact carton with the US Food and Drug Administration under NDC 84067-381 — the pink 3 g stick, 2 x 2 x 8.3 cm, barcode EE012211191-3g. That is the box we ship, and the filed artwork is a picture of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is the ingredient panel printed on that box, word for word: \u003cstrong\u003eascorbic acid, hyaluronic acid, squalane, persea gratissima (avocado) fruit.\u003c\/strong\u003e The filing's own ingredient rows add water and jojoba oil. Retinol is not on the panel and it is not anywhere in the filing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThen the box contradicts itself.\u003c\/strong\u003e On another face of the same carton, the benefit copy reads: \"Contains rich and effective formula, specially added retinol.\" One side of the packaging says the ingredient is in there. The side whose job is to list the ingredients does not list it. The same manufacturer printed both and filed both in the same document.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween a marketing sentence and an ingredient declaration, we go with the declaration. \u003cstrong\u003eSo we are not selling this as a retinol product.\u003c\/strong\u003e We took the word out of our title, our tags and our search listing, because we will not put an ingredient in the name of something when the ingredient list does not support it. The carton you receive still carries it — we do not relabel what we ship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you are shopping specifically for retinol, do not buy this one.\u003c\/strong\u003e Buy from a brand that will put a percentage on the box and stand behind it. We would rather lose the sale than take it on a word we cannot support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"fine\"\u003eYou can read the filing yourself on DailyMed, the National Library of Medicine's label database: NDC 84067-381, set id 13c2064e-c1e5-36a4-e063-6394a90a6184. The carton artwork is the label image attached to it. Records like this are submitted by the manufacturer and are not reviewed or approved by the FDA — which is the point here. It is the manufacturer's own account of its own box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"band\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"nar\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"eyebrow\"\u003eIngredients\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is declared, and the large part that is not\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe filed panel is short, and the arithmetic shows it is not the whole story. Water is given as 0.9 mL of a 3 g stick, roughly thirty percent, and the five named ingredients come to under a tenth of one percent between them. That leaves most of what is in your hand undeclared, including whatever wax and oil base makes it solid enough to be a stick at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo source anywhere states a retinol concentration.\u003c\/strong\u003e We went through roughly twenty-five sellers listing this stick and not one of them puts a percentage on it. That is worth knowing even though the filed panel names no retinol at all: a number nobody will state is a number nobody is standing behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo panel names a preservative.\u003c\/strong\u003e Not the filed one, and not the ingredient list of any seller we could find. Several of those seller panels declare water first. A water-containing cosmetic that keeps on a shelf almost certainly has a preservative system in it, and nobody has said what it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have asked the supplier for the full declaration ordered by predominance. We do not have it yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat this means for you.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you have a known cosmetic allergy or reactive skin, this is not the product to take a chance on, because we cannot tell you everything you would be avoiding.

Under US law a cosmetic is something that cleanses, beautifies or alters appearance. The moment a product is sold as changing how skin is built or how it functions, it is being sold as a drug, and a drug needs an approval this one does not have. Those claims were not ours to make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pictures went with them. One was a grid of eye pairs labeled before and after — the pairs are not the same person, and the word \"before\" is misspelled on the image.
