I am 38 and have small wrinkles and lines under my eyes. I have been using Retin A 0.05% on my face for 6 months with very good results but I have never used it under the eyes. I heard that Retin A thins the skin if used near the eye area and thus causing more wrinkles. Is this true? If not, which strength can I use to remove the undereye lines. Is there any other cream better than Retin A at removing lines and wrinkles around the eyes? Please Help!! Thanks, Zara
Answer: Retin-A Under the Eyes for Fine Lines Retin-A has numerous concentrations and can be used effectively every other night. A small amount under the eyes, well away from the lower lid margin may help with fine lines. This can be done twice a week to start and increased to every other night if tolerated. A retinol product may be easier to use and easier to tolerate and combined with an anti-oxidant or growth factor eye preparation, the fine lines will improve.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Retin-A around the eyes Retin-A and retinol products are great for around the eye. Since the eye skin is sensitive make sure you dose this appropriate. Either use a Retin-A / retinol product specific for eyes or combine it with another product to decrease the effective dose. Retinol products can help with skin turnover and making skin look younger!!

Answer: Is It Safe to Use Retin A Under the Eyes? VItamin A is the main ingredient in Retin-A. It does migrate under the skin when it is applied. When you apply only rub to the orbital rim. You will be surprised of the increased cell turn over rate around the eye. Rubbing it closer will make it hypersensitive.
