Hello everyone, I am having a lot of skin issues. Maybe because i did not take good care of it when i was younger. After i was 28 years old, i found 1 wrinkle at the outer corner of one eye, and some fine lines under both eyes. I have tried a lot of eye creams and eye masks, but I do not have any luck to find one that fix the problem. The products I tried are:
sisley: sisleya Eye and Lip Contour Cream
la prairie: Essence Caviar Eye Complex + Cellular Eye Contour Cream
shiseido: future solutions Eye & Lip Contour Cream and Benefiance Pure Retinol Instant Treatment Eye Mask
SKII: advanced eye treatment film and signs eye mask CE
Janson Beckett: AlphaDerma
Any recommendations to fix the problem will be greatly appreciated. I really need your help!!!
Thanks |

Hi dryady, The advice rileygirl gave you on the other thread should help with crows feet and lines. I'll repeat it here: "I think you can get the anti-aging benefits from using Retin A, a topical C, an AHA product and sunscreen."
Use the C serum every morning or every other morning and alternate nights with Retin A and an AHA product. You can use all of the products under your eyes. |

| I second (I guess actually third) the suggestion of Retin-A. |

I've been thinking of using Retin-A for my eyes but I've read everywhere the the eye area is too sensitive to use it, and that the skin will become too dry and possibly even more wrinkled!
So I've been thinking of asking my dermatologist what he thought of using maybe 0.001% on the eye area.
Does anyone have experience using Retin-A around the eyes? Which concentration do you use? Did it help?
Thanks! |

I've been using RA micro 0.1% under my eyes, just ontop of the orbital bone, not all the way up to my under eye, and it does help lessen the lines. I've been using it every other night for the past two weeks and have gotten some minimal peeling, no more than the rest of my face. I expect continued improvement as I use it longer. |

I am in my late 40s and have been using retinoids, peels, Vit C and sunscreen for the past 3-4 years - religiously.
I can say that the texture of my skin has improved and I do not see any new wrinkles.
****nevertheless, the only thing that eliminates the wrinkles that were there before I started this regimin....is botox****

| Renova and botox. Botox will stop future wrinkles too. |

I alternate between .1% Tazorac and .05% Retin-A under my eyes and it's eliminating the fine lines there. I use it every 2-3 days and I haven't had the problems you describe. |
