The Dr. Althea Retinol Flat Iron Eye Roller (0.85 oz / 25 ml) is a popular Korean skincare product designed to target fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness around the delicate eye area.
Often referred to as a "flat iron" for wrinkles, it combines an anti-aging eye serum with an integrated cooling applicator tool.
Key Features & Design
-
Built-In Gua Sha / Metal Roller Applicator: The tube features a cooling metallic tip that allows you to apply the serum hands-free. It acts as a mini Gua Sha tool to massage the skin, instantly depuff under-eyes, and enhance product absorption.
-
Size: 0.85 oz (25 ml), which is slightly larger than a standard eye cream (usually 15 ml), allowing it to also be used on expression lines around the mouth or forehead.
