Drugstore Eye Cream With Retinol

JudyL · ‎07-11-2010

Have been thinking of switching from my current eye cream with retinol to a drugstore eye cream with retinol. I have done some research and have found a couple of options. But would like to know from those that use a DRUGSTORE eye cream with retinol, which one you are using and how do you like it. Please DRUGSTORE recommendations only. Thank you!

I will be interested in recommendations too. The Natrium Retinaldehyde I have been using on my face has been working great. My eyes though could use a nonsurgical assist.

I haven't tried either, but the ROC and the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair both seem popular and well liked with reviews in the multiple thousands. There's one by No.7 too that gets fewer reviews but good ones.

I use the ROC and Neutrogena. I have sensitive skin and I use them am and pm. I like that they help with puffiness also. Used them both for years.

I am late to the game and just started getting serious about my skin care a little over a month ago, but I have been using the Roc cream every night. It's too soon to tell if it's "working" for me or not, but Dr. Dray (YouTube) said a retinol cream would help plump the skin under the eye.

She said many times, dark circles are exaggerated because a shadow is formed by bags, and if you can plump the skin right under the bag, it will make the area look better, and this cream was one of her recommendations. (Paraphrasing but pretty close to her statement if I remember correctly.) Anyway, it only takes a tiny amount to cover the area, so this tube will last a long time using it only at night.

I have a few fine lines but nothing major in my eye area. My main issues are bags and dark circles. Both my parents had bags/circles, so I was doomed to inherit them as was my sister.

Neutrogena and Roc are not cruelty free but No7 is.

I use the Olay one and like it very much!

I use Burt's Bees Firming Eye Cream. It has the retinol alternative Bachoichal sp? Oil. I like it, but eventually want to get back to Serious Skin Care Vitamin A eye cream.

@kate2357 - Received an email from Naturium that they now have an eye cream with Vit C, HA, and Retinol. Checked it out on their website and thought it would be worth trying. Compared it in cost and amount of product to the ones I have on my Amazon list to try - Olay, ROC, Neutrogena - and most of those are 0.5 oz for around $20-ish. The eye cream from Naturium is 0.7oz for $20. So a little bit more product for approximately the same cost. I looked at the ingredient deck and it seemed to be about like the others I mentioned. Know you like Naturium products so thought you might be interested in checking this out.
