The Multi Balm is wax-based, so it sits on top of your routine, seals in what is underneath and travels with you. It covers the eye area, lips, smile lines and neck with one stick, where an eye cream is made for one zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the Multi Balm fragrance-free?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Medicube describes it as free from artificial fragrance, and there is no added parfum on the ingredient list. The formula does include geranium, ylang-ylang, bergamot and rose flower oils, which carry a natural scent, so if essential oils disagree with your skin that is worth knowing before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Where does it go in a routine, and can I use it with my retinoid?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: In the evening it is the final step, over moisturiser. In the morning it goes after moisturiser and before sunscreen. It contains retinol too, so if you already use a retinoid around the eyes, introduce the balm on those areas gradually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use the Multi Balm during pregnancy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: We don't recommend it. The balm contains retinol, and we don't recommend retinoids during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. It also carries EGF, listed as sh-Oligopeptide-1, and NAD, both newer skincare ingredients with no clinical safety data in pregnancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe driest moment for under-eyes is usually mid-afternoon, not bedtime, and a stick is the format that actually gets used then.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"sn-claims\"\u003e\u003csmall\u003e* Medicube clinical testing carried out by the Global Institute of Dermatological Sciences: under-eye hollowness +25.7%, crow's feet +10.7%, lip line +12.1%, neck line +5.6%, frown line +6.2%, forehead line +3.3%.
