Fix Your Crepey Under Eye Skin! | 3 At-Home Anti-aging Treatments

[@ufosrus]

Nice to see a dermatologist whose face is not overly shiny.

[@glitchessence]

I use The Ordinary’s retinal emulsion around my eyes. There’s zero irritation and after a month of use has dramatically changed my face. I look 10 years younger! I recommend this product to everyone. It’s extremely gentle for a 0.2% retinal xx

[@debbiesokoloff1991]

I notice in the comments that a lot of us wonder about using these products you recommended on our upper eyelids and on the brow bone. I have very crepey skin on my eyes near the inner corner and I have little bumps on and near the brow bone. I have tried some eye creams in those areas, but experienced irritation from that. I’d love to see a video from you about this area. Thank you for your informative videos!

[@dg7438]

I'd think it's not safe, instead try small footprint machines like plasma arc pen or micro/nano needle

[@ivinskio]

Absolutely loved this video! I want to share my experience with red light therapy for those curious. I started using a red light therapy panel from Future Form Official, which was actually recommended by my dermatologist. After incorporating it into my routine, I've noticed significant improvements in my skin complexion and a reduction in wrinkles. The panel is affordably priced, making it accessible for those of us mindful of budget. There are numerous scientific papers backing up the benefits of red light therapy, and I've seen firsthand how effective it can be. Thank you all for sharing such valuable insights here!

I’m 47 and have only had one line under my eye for the past year. I use SPF daily, Tretinoin but not near my eyes as they water and sting if it’s too close so I do put it to the orbital bone which is where that fine line is.

[@LT-sg6rr]

This one irritated my eyes and also started peeling around the areas I applied. I stopped using it.

[@StephOuiseau]

It also absorbs very quickly and pills the least under concealer!

[@__NewEarth__]

@@LT-sg6rr bummer..just goes to show how everyone responds differently to products. I did a lot of research on retinoids and it's actually normal to experience peeling at the beginning; but obviously if it's super irritated stop. There are hacks you can try like layering moisturizer, retinoid and moisturizer on top and slowly increasing the days you apply the retinoid until you're using it everyday. Sorry if u already knew that or don't find this helpful, i just wanna share what worked for me (with tretinoin; I stopped using BOJ) Peace!🌟

Elta MD UV Restore broad-spectrum SPF 40 does not irritate the eyes. It’s also a physical sunscreen, not a chemical sunscreen, for anyone concerned about endocrine disruptors. It’s a bit spendy, but worth it since it’s the only option that checks the above criteria (that I’ve been able to find!). I’m all ears if there is a dupe out there.

[@kristenholmes9373]

I looked at the Maelove peptide product, and while it seems to contain a lot of great ingredients, it also contains sodium benzoate, a preservative which can cause inflammation. It also can react with vitamin C to produce benzenes, which are carcinogenic (and vitamin C is a recommended skin care topical). I have fairly sensitive skin, yet I use prescription-strength tretinoin (0.025%) on my under-eye area, based on the recommendation of several other KZbin derms, and have never had a problem. It seems to work just fine; my skin there doesn't get red or flakey. I've never had eye irritation either. Thanks for the video, it's all helpful.

[@sazdoxie4247]

Great point you make about Sodium Benzoate. It’s a preservative used in everything! Toothpaste, food, soap, household cleaning products. And, I am allergic to Sodiym Benzoate. Patch tests don’t lie!

[@MNMMOMMA2]

Hyaluronic Acid draws moisture from the air, but if the air is dry, it will also dry the skin out. It also depends on the weight being used. If it's a low molecular weight, it goes deeper and has the potential to dry the skin out even more. Have you tried using a good moisturizer over the Hyaluronic serum? Since it draws moisture from the air, I find a good moisturizer is best when using Hyaluronic, it helps to keep the skin from drying out. I hope this helps ❤
