I have sensitive facial skin with red tone. I have tired looking eyes; not big bags, just some slight wrinkling and sagging and tired look. Some suggested surgery, some injectables and the last doctor said Mixto laser. I'm afraid of all these, but won't the laser make me redder? Will it give me the youthful look under my eyes again? I'm 38 years old.

However, post-care skin care routine may differ. For example, less greasy emollient is warranted for acne prone skin whereas sensitive dry skin may benefit from thicker hypoallergenic petrolatum-based emollient.
