For years KZbin dermatologists said don't bother with eye creams. However, over the past 6 months they're recommending them. I just buffer my regular retinol with moisturizer around my eyes. No irritation and no need to spend another $40 on another product.

[@bettyg1227]

I will do the samething thanks for the advice ❤

[@oumaouma591]

Do you use the retinol serum for the under eye skin ?

[@jeremyhall525]

@oumaouma591 I put moisturizer on around my eyes first, and then I put a little retinol serum on afterwards. I'm not an expert, it's just works for me and saves me buying another product.

[@samiavirmani8912]

I use my prescription retinoid around my eyes before the moisturizer. So far no irritation but I am not sure if it’s working? I am 45 years old and I use moisturizer after it and then 20 minutes later I put aquaphor around my eyes too.

In australia I just found the physiolift. But was 45 dollars so not bad and I really loved the texture like you said! Thank you always for your videos! I love 💕

[@sunseeker65]

Right now, my favorite eye cream is the Timeless Hydrating Eye cream with Hyaluronic Acid and Matrixyle 3000. It is so soothing and cooling. I typically use it at night, because it is a bit thicker. What I love best is that it can be safely used on the eyelids as well. I have super sensitive skin, and this works well without irritation. Thanks for all your wonderful videos! I've tried and loved many of the products you've discussed and you helped me establish a great skin care routine for my 65 yr old skin.

[@kamhs7770]

How did it go ??

[@atmanandaprepare]

for those of you with periocular dermatitis- I was so scared to ever use another active ingredient anywhere near my eyes. mine was persistent and unresponsive to anything but zero treatment for months (it took 5 month to go away and still not totally gone under my mouth.) well now i am on 3 months avene retrinal eye cream and i am really seeing the results and miraculously no dermatitis relapse so far!! i am actually not sensitive to this at all. i would recommend just putting it above and below the eye and staying away from right on the lash line or the outer corner where it can sit in the lines

[@dejavu3777]

In this video you mention alternating the Avene Retinal Eye with the Tula Pro-ferm Overnight Complex. In the Spring/early summer, you changed up your skincare routine replacing C with bakuchiol. My question is: what's the best way to change your routine whether it's your entire routine or alternating or switching products for one specific concern, e.g. eye treatment? Or does it even matter? You probably already have a video on this; if so could you just point me to it? Love your channel - you do an excellent job 💯

[@margieryne6220]

Thank you for sharing this information!🥰

[@piki4862]

Based on your prior recommendation I use Avene

[@Aprilpixie]

I’m loving the Lather Australian Plum Eye Crème. This will fall into the non-retinoid, vitamin C, moisturizing, eye cream category. The description on the website says that it also diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, but I’m not seeing how. The ingredients seem to be more on the brightening moisturizing side not anti-aging, but I notice immediate brightening improvement as soon as I used it. It’s also middle of the road expense wise at $35.

[@cxc3093]

Do you use them morning and night? Can you alternate the budget one from first category with budget one from second category. Thinking maybe won’t have irritation. Just wondering how often to use, since I moisturize 2x a day. Love all the expertise you share in simple organized form.💜☺️

[@callalys]

Could you do a "what to wear on the slopes" (Skincare , makeup products) and for apres-ski, please?

[@jayneyp8683]

Hey folks, I'd like to make a recommendation. I have very sensitive skin and I am loving the Garnier Retinol Berry. It took a couple of months for me to work up to using it every day but I really love it. It's recommended for the eye area as well but I haven't worked up to that yet! But give it a try, it's super budget friendly :)

[@lbeard7661]

Thanks for that recommendation!

[@xLeBang]

cant you also use the sandwich method for your eye cream (moisturizer + renitol serum + moisturizer) and it will have similar results?

[@taranemasoumi9187]

Thank you for your informative videos.

[@zzludzz]

Thank you for that. That first product you mentioned sounds exciting. I may try out once the product I use runs out. Question though, and have tried to get answers but I just don’t; I use eye serum, don’t they penetrate deeper into skin than creams? Isn’t there a better benefit in serums? If I use a eye serum than don’t do eye cream? Is there a danger in using both? Wish a serum would have all ingredients that are beneficial but all use different ingredients. My eye concerns are lines under eyes (anti aging…etc) So that product you mentioned, though eye cream sounds intriguing. Thanks you and all who can give input.

[@ziflair37]

Hi Dr, I used neutrogena wrinkle repair eye cream, and got lots of new wrinkles around the eyes a week after. I googled and saw similar comments. Should I try other brands or stop using retinol? Thanks

[@patriciapowell8223]

Do you have a video that discusses eye bags? What they are, why they happen, and how to reduce them, if possible?

[@saramaloney6082]

Thank you for this! I love the RentinAL Avene one, and their Physiolift. I have mild rosacea and can tolerate both. I have seen wonderful results with them. Going to check out your others.

Do you prefer one or the other?

[@MatthewMcCoy-cf2no]

When would you use the Peter Thomas Roth Power Eye Serum? Morning? Night? Where would it fall in routine?

[@chrismahfouz7709]

Thank you Dr! I appreciate you! 💖

[@Mandapanda.]

Hear me out..I randomly bought a completely safe/sealed bottle of retinol serum from dollar tree for $1.25…it’s amazing and I’ve seen results with it! I thought I was crazy but I have been reading on it ever since and people LOVE it!! It’s not too strong so I can use it all over my face and under my eyes. My crows feet have truly gotten noticeably better within the first couple weeks! I love it! I have used lots of expensive, fancy products and I can’t believe how well this dollar tree find works! GET IT!!

Can you use vitamin c under your eyes day and night? Do you have recommendations for day and night eye cremes?

[@kenschwartz2035]

Can any of these eye creams be used on the eyelid? Looking for something to tighten my eyelids. Maybe you could do a video on that. Thanks!

Is there anything you can use under the eye along check bone for puffiness,?

[@theresaiaizzo9703]

Hi. Just ordered RetrinAl 0.1 Intensive Cream. Can you please recommend best moisturizer to pair with this

[@marcellef8302]

Hi Dr Locke, I've just found this video and, unfortunately, I am too late to get the deep discount but, I just ordered the TULA eye cream from Sephora, while they are having their semi-annual sale. I am 61 an have suddenly noticed wrinkling skin under my eyes (lack of sleep is to blame, I know). I have never used retinol products and I had blepharitis in 2007, and I have a few milia near my eyelids. Therefore, I thought the TULA would be best to start out a good de-wrinkling treatment for me. Thank you very much for your recommendations. Take care ☺

[@annettehansen6329]

I love both Tula eye products

Can we use Physiolift serum around eyes ?

[@jamieminchew1605]

What eye cream would you use for someone using Retin a under the eyes

[@gurlypops1806]

Can I use tretinoin, kojic acid soap, and the ordinary BHA AHA peeling solution in the same week? I plan to use tretinoin a few times a week and the ordinary once a week, the kojic acid soap would be anytime im using neither tret or the ordinary. I just have all these products and I was wondering if it's okay to use them together.

[@daniellelavallee9204]

Should we apply eye cream to eyelid, or just under eye??

I have physiolift eyes and I use it to prevent wrinkles. Apparently I have very strong skin and I use it every day without any problem but, is it correct to use it everyday???

[@ashleyroyer6140]

Hello 👋🏽 My name is Ashley! I’m a new subscriber. I’m addicted to watching your videos and they are VERY, VERY helpful! I have a quick question/request…I’m 38 years old and have Very DRY skin. Iv always gotten out of the shower (Not a hot shower) and put lotion or body butter on right away and I feel like an hour later my skin is going to crack. So Iv been thinking that maybe it’s my body wash. Can you recommend a hydrating body wash that doesn’t smell like a strong perfume? Or even unscented would be fine. I would greatly appreciate your recommendation. Also, what do you recommend putting on Dry skin after a shower? Preferably not an oil. Thank you!!! 😊

[@natalieversaga5326]

I am 45 and have the same problem. My favorites are Cerave ( for normal to dry skin) I wash my face and body with it. And after - Topicrem, ultra- moisturizing body milk. I use it for body and when my face cream does not work enough I use it for face too.

[@amurillohn]

Thanks!! All my purchases are thanks to your advice! Would I use a retinal cream, as the new Naturium retinaldehyde cream serum 0.05%, on my eyes area? What do you think about the retinal eye of beauty of Joseon? ❤❤❤

[@tinagarry7230]

Thanks for this. Should these be used only for Night routine?

[@db-gb5xi]

All the products should have directions either on the packaging or the brand site. The retinol/retinal are generally for night use. The Burt's Bees can be used day or night since it's bakuchiol the same with the vit c ones. Any of the ones being used during the day should be followed up with sunscreen.

Hi! I am an esthetician. I want to be able to explain accurately to my clients about how certain ingredients work. With THD VIT C, is this more gentle for sensitive skin? Also, since this converts to L-ascorbic acid, does this mean this is most potent form of C?

[@blessedbythebest1003]

So you say the first one is “strong” does that mean someone could breakout? Also switching back and forth could it create reaction? Also do ages on any of these matter? (I’m 35)

[@TT-cj3ek]

I just wanted to tell you that I have been fine tuning my skin care and am trying to weed out my products I don’t need . You had a video on the 3 must have , retinoids , facial acids, and vitamin c. I have been using this 3 step method for 6 weeks now , (and I do some cycling on and off with other serums to switch it up) .. my skin is smooth , soft , the uneven tone and blotches are gone , and I’m never with dehydrated dull skin ( I live in the dakotas and winters are brutal ) I know it’s working because my daughter got in my car yesterday and she said “ mom ! ( she startled me ) seriously , what has happened to your skin , most women in their 50’s just let their skin go , but you have discovered the fountain of youth ) I will add also , I have been using trenoitin for the last year also , but I really needed the facial acids and a good stable vitamin C serum to polish and brighten my skin to the next level . Thank you for your advice and product reviews .

Use it on your face instead, neck and/or décolleté or tops of hands, elbows or top of the knees where wrinkles/crepey skin can show up. You can always repurpose products that are too strong for the more delicate areas. At worst mix it in with some body lotion like Eucerin and use on your whole body for benefits.

Nope…I used to do the same, for 20 years. But….it depends on the percentage, the specific formulation of that prescription…and the state of your skin at the time.

The avene retrinal and physio lift did nothing for me. I’m getting much better results with the Olay retinol max eye cream which is conveniently about half the price. The Olay straight away started to cause slight stinging and peeling in the under eye area, a sure sign that the retinoid is effective. Personally, I feel retinaldehyde is overrated and retinol is, overall, a better retinoid. It’s also possible that the Olay is better formulated and therefore more effective 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@oliviad5474 of course, skin irritation is a common side effect of retinoids. In fact, it is thought that it is this irritation that is partly responsible for the improvement of photoaging seen in retinoid users. Personally, jar packaging doesn’t bother me. I’m not sure other types of packaging are any better as only very few are truly air-tight. Products have preservatives for a reason and that is to prevent growth of micro-organisms, whether they are exposed to air or not.
