If you are having no problems with a retinol product under your eyes the next step up would be Renova .025% or Retin-A. That's what I started with. I used it twice a week at first with an eye cream or moisturizer on top. Wait to apply the moisturizer or eye cream for at least 10 to 20 minutes to make sure the Renova absorbs. You can use the Renova full face if you want to. Thats what I do. Anyway, once your comfortable with the twice a week application start adding another night. I've been doing this for almost 2 years now around my eyes and I am now using the .050% strength Renova every other night full face. I could use the .025% every night but for me, I like giving my under eye area a break every other night. On the nights I don't apply Renova .050% I just use my regular skincare. I don't know if your planning on getting your Renova from your doctor or dermatologist but I get mine form the new Medsmex website. I know there's been controversy on this board about Medsmex but I've been buying from them for over 5 years and I've never had an issue. I know the owners daughter Debbie and they are a reputable site. They recently had problems with hackers on their old website but the security has been updated and they started a whole new more secure site just for skincare. If your concerned about using your creditcard you can use a money order. I always use the $10.00 registered mail option for shipping, not the express one for $24.00. I have no issues using my creditcard but if you do, there are options, or else just get the Renova from your doctor. If you get Renova from your doctor you will only be able to get the .020%. which is fine, especially if your starting out around your eyes. They don't sell any higher percentages of Renova in the US anymore, only Retin-A. That's why I use medsmex for the .050% Renova. This is the product I started with on my face and under my eyes in the link below. They don't have a picture up yet but it's just a regular 30 gram tube of generic Renova called Retacnyl .025% for $11.75.

Good luck whatever you decide to do. Remember, it will take time to see results. It took your eye area years to age and to get to the way it looks now. 6 months to a year is not a long time to wait for Renova to repair it and help prevent further aging. |
