There is no OTC cream, potion, lotion or oil that will help with crows feet. Prescription Retin A will help along with Botox. Wearing sunglasses will help to prevent further damage.

@Tricolor  ....and sleep on back. If you must sleep on side, use a satin pillowcase so skin slides across it. Less wrinkling.

Can you use Retin-A around the eyes?  I use it for Acne but never thought to put it on crow's feet.  Thanks for the help!!

I use it everywhere on my face, including my lids and the center parts of my lips. Also use it on my neck and dec. @Arianny

@Arianny, yes you can use in the outer eye area where crows feet form. I can't use it on my lids nor on my neck due to irritation but some people have no problem using it there.

@Arianny  Yes, I use Retin A on entire face, all around eyes, but unlike @SilleeMee, not on eyelids. Derm told me that could lead to “dry eye syndrome”. ***Retin A “travels” on its own, so I usually don’t apply right up to outer corner of eye.

I didn't know that @Shanus...about the dry eye thing. So far I'm okay but I will keep an eye on it...pun intended...lol Thanks for the heads up.

@SilleeMee  Derm since Retin A travels, on top lid, too easy to get in tear ducts. That’s the best I can remember. I only apply it 1/4” from lower inches, too. I figure it’ll make it’s way to under eye on its own, but in a less strong way.

I definitely do not slather it around my eyes or on my lids. I apply it there lastly, after the rest of my face, neck and dec are done....sort of the residual left over on my hands is what I apply on my lids so it's a very small amount.  Yes, you are right about Retin A travelling. Some people say they have dry lips after using Retin A, even when they haven't put it on their lips. Proof that it does travel. @Shanus

@SilleeMee. I also stay a little bit away from nostrils...gets dry & flakey there, too. ***For lips, I apply my lip balm or Aquafor first, then Retin A...seems to form a barrier.
