Olay Pro-Retinol Eye Cream, 15ml

Product Information

As a general rule of thumb, you shouldn’t put any eye cream (especially a retinol-based one) on your eyelids unless the directions specifically say that it’s okay to do so. This formula is one of those rare ones that can be applied around the entire eye, including on the lids, ensuring you get a 360-degree anti-aging effect. Because it’s a serum, the silky texture sinks into the skin beautifully. And as far as retinol goes, this formula touts a retinoid complex that combines a time-released version of the ingredient with a fast-acting one, plus a booster that ups the efficacy of both. Reviewers do note that this can cause irritation on very sensitive skin, so it’s probably not suitable if you have eczema or psoriasis-prone skin type. If you want to improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles around your eye area, there is no ingredient more scientifically proven than retinol. Yes, every dermatologist’s favorite ingredient is raved about for its ability to help stimulate collagen, retain water, and smooth the texture of the skin. But retinol is very powerful and can cause some irritation, so it needs to be used carefully and in the right potency, especially around the eyes. We asked New York City dermatologists Jeremy Fenton, MD, and Morgan Rabach, MD, for their advice. apply at night. "Retinols are not meant for daytime use, as they break down when exposed to UV light," Dr. Yeh explains. Retinyl is a pretty powerful ingredient so I try not to overuse – once at night, applied sparingly and patted in with a ring finger is enough. In the morning, my usual SPF moisturiser and primer are there to protect against any sun-sensitivity caused by the retinyl – another good reason for using at night.

When I became serious a while ago about using anti-ageing eye creams, I figured I could either test out a few different creams - or I could just save time and go with the proven results. As a busy working mum, of course I chose Option 2! Retinyl is a well-established ingredient in anti-ageing skincare, that improves cell-growth and skin texture, so I was happy about using Olay Pro-retinol to treat my most delicate area. It has made a difference to the skin around my eyes in a pretty noticeable way – so claims of retinyl being “a miracle product” don’t seem at all unusual. I never had pronounced crow’s feet – but they were there. Now, after a few months, they are barely noticeable. The fine lines under my eyes are still there, but are fainter and that area is much firmer and has lost any dry “crepiness”.

Eye creams often do not specify the percentage of retinol, but the higher the percentage, the greater the potency and the greater potential for irritation," Dr. Yeh explains. "Beginning with lower potency and working your way up is a good way to start." (A lower potency of retinol is generally 0.01% to 0.03%; 2% is on the higher end.) But not all retinol eye creams are created equally, so we tried a number of top-rated formulations. After using them for weeks at a time, our testers rated each formula's texture, skin feel, and how well it diminished the signs of aging around the eyes. We then combined these results with the recommendations of board-certified dermatologists while considering options for a range of budgets, skin types, and concerns. There are two things you should know about retinoids. One: They're wrinkle-fighting, skin-smoothing forms of vitamin A that come in plenty of shapes, sizes, and concentrations. Two: They don't have to cost a fortune.

Treat - Eye. Apply Eye Treatment daily under eye area, paying special attention to wrinkles and crow's feet. To ensure your skin doesn't get too irritated, look for retinol products that are formulated with moisturizing ingredients like niacinamideor B3, which help to calm inflammation. This is even more important when it comes to extra-sensitive parts of the skin. Fenton recommends choosing a product specifically made for the eye area if using retinol around your eyes. They’re specially formulated to be extra hydrating and minimize the likelihood of irritation.

the instructions. "For best results, follow the manufacturer directions of the individual product you are using," Wnek recommends. "It's also imperative to read any warnings on the label. " up a tolerance. If you're not used to using retinol around your eyes, "go slowly," advises Anthony Rossi, M.D., the founder of Dr. Rossi DERM MD and a dermatologist in New York City. "Apply a pea-sized amount or less and start by using it one to two times per week, increasing the frequency over a month until it can be tolerated nightly." Another added: "I have a few shallow crows feet which I hoped would respond to this cream. I used it every night for four weeks, just around my right eye, and can see no difference at all between the two sides.Formulated with Olay’s best wrinkle-fighting ingredient, Retinyl Propionate. Alleviates deep wrinkles & crow’s feet. Olay Eyes with Pro Retinol Eye Treatment was just what I needed for those fine lines and crows feet. I first started noticing my lines at age 28. Crows Feet were determined to make an appearance with every happy smile I gave. The natural scrunching of my eye not only showed my happiness but my age. I intend to use it for another couple of weeks just in case it does make a slight difference, and I will update this review. Update after another two weeks: still no improvement. It's a perfectly good eye cream, but doesn't reduce wrinkles in either four or six weeks." Olay’s best wrinkle-fighting ingredient is now in an eye cream!

Although there are several types of retinoids, retinol is the most widely known used one — and it, along with its fellow retinoids, has a bit of a reputation for causing irritation in new users. But that doesn't mean retinoids aren't right for you and your goals. "We've seen clinically that after two or three weeks the skin cells adapt to the retinoic acid and begin to tolerate the ingredient," Atlanta-based dermatologist Jonathan Weiss has previously told Allure. And many brands are formulating their retinoid products with both results and skin comfort in mind.

Not all retinoids are considered equal. While retinol is the most popular over-the-counter option, there are also other options— retinyl palmitate, retinaldehyde—which have similar effects but are slightly less potent. If you have sensitive skin and/or this is your first time using a retinoid, it can be a good idea to look for these. If you’re looking for both fewer wrinkles and firmer skin around your eyes (and really, who wouldn’t want that), reach for this cream, a staple among beauty editors. It relies on both retinol and a plant-based compound from babchi seeds that has similar firming and smoothing effects. There’s also a blend of natural oils that help increase skin’s elasticity, and you can use it both under and around your eyes, as well as on the upper brow area. The best part might be the applicator, though, a gold tip that feels cooling and makes it easy to gently massage in the product. A second wrote: "Amazing product for anti-aging, left eyes smooth & bright. Less wrinkles for sure" and a third added: "This is amazing from first use I noticed a difference I only use it every other night but gets my vote."

Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS. Microencapsulated retinol in this formula helps to fight fine lines and wrinkles, but it’s the other ingredients that make it an A.M. go-to. Namely, three kinds of hyaluronic acid that hydrate and plump fine lines (and also make this blend extra soothing, notes King), plus finely milled pearl extract that delivers a subtle luminosity. The two combined help create the ideal base over which to apply foundation and concealer, helping you appear bright-eyed and wide-awake. Like we said, just make sure you’re wearing an SPF 30+ sunscreen anytime you use any retinoid during the day—doubly important in the summer. You also can’t apply it to the eyelids, so just be careful when applying it.
