I decided to use a tretinoin cream under my eyes because that is where my lines are! I don't think that you need to go through an "ugly phase" before the skin looks better.
The key is to start using the retinol/retinoid cream twice a week and build up the frequency gradually to avoid "uglies" and irritation. You can also prep your skin with a moisturizer if the retinol/retinoid cream is too strong.
I use 0.025 % tretinoin gel under my eyes four nights a week without any problems. In the morning I use a cream that is supposed to strengthen the delicate under eye skin in order to counteract the thinning effects of tretinoin. |
