Is this ok to use under your eyes? I haven't used it on my lids, but would it be ok there as well? Also, how often do you use it? I've been using it every night and I'm wondering if that's ok. I haven't had any sensitivity issues with it and I love the results, but wonder if using it every night is too often. Thanks!

I use it both on the my lids and under my eye nightly...I haven't had any issues at all.

i use it every night all over face and under eyes has helped with the fine lines .i love it. ps i read in allure mag to let your retinal serum sink into skin for about 20 minutes before applying moisturizer over it.

That's good to know. I usually apply moisturizer after about 5 mins and will wait the 20 mins now and see if I see a difference.

I too apply it nightly and under eyes and sometime lids and no problems. Love his stuff !

I am going to get an RX from the doctor next week for Retin A and then will probably just use every other night. I will have to start a new thread then to get the expert advice from the ladies on here ( as well as what my DR says to do )

PTR suggests using his Unwrinkle Night Cream on top of Retinol Fusion.

There was an article in Redbook several months ago-maybe in the summer-showing this product used all over the face including under the eyes so yes, it can be used under the eyes. The article discussed four different retinol products and showed before and after pics. I can't remember what the other products were. Happened to see it in the doctor's office.

I just saw a blogger on Youtube who mentioned that she uses retinol on her eye lids and it had really helped lift them because retinol helps rebuild collagen. So I used it on my eyes for the first time last night. I'd read about this blogger on Essential Day Spa, Hot & Flashy on Youtube. She said she uses .5% retinal nightly after working up from every couple of days to every other day to nightly. I noticed a big difference in the way her skin looks between her youtube videos earlier in the year versus now. She's 51 and looks darned good.

You mentioned going to every other night with PTR's product once you begin retina A and I would be sure to check with your DR on this before doing. It would seem like overkill to continue using PTR's Fusion once on RA. The skin does not need both a prescription strength retina a and a retinol product. Chat with your Dr about what additional products to use after starting RA as he/she will be your best source.

PTR created his Fusion product to have an absolute minimum amount of irritation to the skin. Not all retinol products are like that and retina A surely isn't. Many are very irritating and can cause a number of nasty side effects. You want to be sure you aren't increasing that likelihood by overdoing it.
