Is retinol under eye cream an effective alternative to injectables?

Retinol alone is not enough for a dramatic result. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will be the best long term. However, non invasive less downtime options such as fillers, lasers, (Plasma pen) microneedling/(RF/)PRP, cosmelan peels and stem cells can all help give improvement. I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals. Best, Dr. Emer.

Retinol is the ineffective. Consequently it is available to the cosmeceutical industry to sell to us in virtually every skin care cream. However, it does not work. The prescription, product is known as tretinoin (retin A) was first used to control acne. It was also discovered that is helps reduce fine lines in some users. But Retinol is a scam in my opinion. The fillers are very good when you are ready.
