@@fateh3525 Are you able to see a doctor who can give you pills to sleep? I take trazadone, an antidepressant that has a sedative effect, and it puts me to sleep every night!
I have the same issue. It was worth it for me to take a sleeping pill and get my sleep under control. The sleeping pills do have side effects but worth it to be sleeping 7 hours a night instead of 3-4. I feel like I rather have those side effects than being a walking zombie (inside and out).
@@fateh3525 I've had insomnia due to my anxiety for as long as I can remember, and my current meds make it even worse. I ended up being prescribed Trazadone and it has changed my life! I can sleep early, and it also boosts my current anxiety medication because it was used for anxiety/depression originally, but now it's used primarily for the side effect of making you super sleepy. Makes a happier more balanced me :-) You should ask your doctor cause its commonly prescribed for insomnia
Hi I just wanted to thank you and say you were part of what gave me the wake up call to stop smoking. I smoked for 10 years and I thought as I'm taking such an active interest in skincare - I should really take care of my skin from the inside which I've heard you talk about by quitting smoking. Next month will be a year of happily being a non-smoker! 😊
I love Dr Dray because she is so honest about not having to buy high end skincare. I love the affordable products that she recommends like CeraVe, Neutragena, Avene, etc. they are wonderful products. I have dry skin, in my 60’s and would love to hear a little more on what blushes, concealers, exfoliators, etc would be good for dry skin. I am a fan Dr Dry. You have lovely skin! Also, would like to see more of your exercises you do in the morning! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this! If I ranked my skin concerns, under eye wrinkles are #1. Mine seem to be worse than they should be for my age and I blame allergies and years of rubbing them. The skin around my eyes always reacts to products with horrible eczema and blepharitis so finding products that I can tolerate is a huge challenge. Really appreciate you covering this topic!
My under-eyes are sensitive to vitamin a/ retinol so I can’t use those creams but they’re said to work the best. I think my best bet is to see a dermatologist and see what my best option is
Yes!!! Please do!! I live in the Caribbean and NEVER used sunscreen. Basking in the sun was a daily ritual lol...now am in my mid thirties, I wish I knew what I know now (and am not dark skinned. Am very light skinned) 😖😖
Yes, good to hear! I, too, grew up sun-worshiping, before sunscreens came along, and my under eye areas are full of wrinkles. 😩 Be sure to find a sunscreen with great UVA protection, one from Australia, the EU or Asian countries, and ALWAYS wear UV blocking, wrap around sunglasses and a hat when you’re outside.
^ Thanks for the warnings guys! I'm scarred for life now 😂😁 Atleast you all have Dr Dray now to help you try and reverse the damages that the sun has made to you lol

@@jamesondaweeb8448 it might just be the natural creases under your eyes at your age I doubt it is wrinkles, I think o have them because I use to be a smoker, so that gives you a good reason to never start :)
I used my tretinoin around my eyes and looked 100 years older a couple days later when my skin dried. Won’t do that again! I’m going to buy the Neutrogena one.

Kinda related: I’ve been using the LRP cica balm as an “overnight mask” for my under-eye area, and as a “spot treatment” for a small, HYPOpigmented, raised scar on the middle of my forehead (yeah, it’s not ideal 😢) I haven’t seen improvement with the scar, but I have observed diminishing of the teeny lines under my eyes! (For context, I am 24, with oily, Fitzpatrick IV skin)

I have used Dermalmd Anti Aging Serum for years at night, and really helps eliminates fine lines. Sad to say I was a smoker and it does help to decrease the wrinkles above my lips. What is left over after I apply to face, I use on hands. Softens them, too. at 73 yrs I need all the help I can get.
Dr Dray, love your videos but I have a question about the safety when it comes to retinol use around the eyes. Meibomian glands around your eyes can get damaged by retinol and can cause atrophy over time to cause dry eyes and even contact lens intolerance. Is retinol in fact safe to use around the eyes?
I’ve been using the Avene Retinal eye cream for a few days now. I purchased it due to your recommendation. I use CeraVe PM and Tretinoin on the rest of my face but Tretinoin is too drying for my eye area. So far I like the Avene Retinal eye cream, I am not sure yet whether it’s doing anything, but it feels nice and is moisturizing.
I saw a derm yesterday and she sadly didn’t have any idea what was going on with my skin. I wish I could see you! You’re so knowledgeable! Love your videos!!
I m 65 old man dealing with DDD now adult Scoliosis 15 years and the PAIN IS TAKING A TOLL!! Between sleep and all this is showing. I try to put on good front for my family but it’s SHOWING! I’ll try something Thank you 🙏🏻
Dr. Dray is the source of facts to counter online sellers masquerading as influencers. Edit: Just a thought, can retinol be used on the neck and hands?
Thank you Dr. Dray! I've fallen in love with Eucerin Skin Calming Cream for dry itchy skin. Is that safe to put on my face and around my eyes? Have a good week! :)
i am aware that applying tretinoin under eye area is controversial but honestly speaking from my personal experience it does work. my under eye has no wrinkle, no panda eyes and the skin structures around the eye area is very firm. Precaution needs to be taken for first timer because some people can get irritation but luckily I experienced none of it
Same for me. It works great around my eyes and around my lips. I'm 60 years old and that is where I need my tretinoin the most🙂 Another bonus is that it improved my eyesight a lot. I can now read the small print on the labels again, must be the vitamin A. I may never need glasses😁
actually, I do the same thing, but very careful on the upper lids , if I even go there. and after long time use like a year, I can actually feel me lids tightening up ;)
@@carriekernel5564 i just lightly brushed the residue of my tretinoin around my eyebrow without tapping my eyelids cuz tretinoin can travel easily down to that area. been doing it consistently for 5 years and the result was honestly astounding
Vit C in the AM and Retinol in the PM and SPF every day got rid of mine took a few years but about to turn 30 and I have zero wrinkles whereas when I was 22 I had them under eyes and on my forehead, swear by my routine. Simple yet effective
Hi Dr.Dray can you do an overview on JLO's new skincare line? It has been everywhere and an opinion from a board certified dermatologist would be highly appreciated! Love all your videos!
Can you make a video explaining how and to what extent a person can heal existing sun damage with topical vitamin a? As a 21-year-old, I’m wondering how much accumulated sun damage I can remove now that I wear sunscreen daily (thanks to your videos!)
I just recently discovered you and have been binging your videos for days! After spending the last 40 years boldly proclaiming the only thing I ever needed on my face was water and sunscreen, I'm now plagued by terrible rosacea and deep deep wrinkles. Sigh. Anyway, now enter you. While I do think you'd agree with my "less is more" approach, I think we can both see where I went wrong, and I'd like to help my daughters (and maybe even sons) avoid the same mistake. I find you to have a very "common sense" approach and manner of speaking that I find very relatable, and I imagine my children would relate to you as well. I enjoyed your "skincare for your 20s", "30s" "40s" videos. Could you please consider making a similar video such as: Skincare for Teenagers (popular products and TikTok trends) Skincare for Adolescents (for example, discussing periods and acne and how certain foods can exacerbate that) Skincare for Pre-Teens (perhaps explaining that pores get larger and blackheads become more common) Skincare for College Students/Young Adults (for example, addressing that birth control can suddenly cause acne and if you should switch your regular skin care products or if you should switch your birth control) Skincare for Teenage Boys Skincare for Young Adult Males I'm sure you have a very long list of video topics already, but a video targeted to these issues would be greatly appreciated. 🙏
Alright. I don't expect I'll receive any response on this but I'll write anyway and hope it will be of help. First some background info. I'm in my mid 20s. I've started using tretinoin 0.025% 2 years ago, on and off. For the past few months I've been using 0.1% strength tretinoin every night, along with a moisturizer. I get little to no irritation since my skin has adapted to it. My issue is as follows, I've been noticing the formation of undereye fine lines for a while now, and it's been continuously worsening. I didn't have any fine lines under my eyes before, I am certain of this because I've been obsessing over details on my skin since I was 12, mostly because I've always had skin issues (acne, scars, folliculitis, etc.) Now, I clicked on this video in hopes I'd find some methods to help me get rid of those newly formed wrinkles. Seeing how retinol is mentioned, and in my case that is the culprit of my problem, I am now even more confused as to what I should do and why tretinoin caused my issue in the first place. Any input would be gladly appreciated.
I just read a post on Reddit that said the exact same thing. Tretinion caused deep wrinkles underneath her eyes that weren't there before. Tretinion is an anti aging treatment but it can also dry the skin out which can cause even more wrinkles as a side effect. I'm so sorry for what happened.
Thanks for this and Happy Monday! I've always had creases under my eyes, but ever since I turned 30 they've taken over my face. Especially in the last few years. I haaaaate it.
This is the ONLY dr dray video I’ve ever watched that I found very unhelpful. I’ve already done everything she’s mentioned for sooo long and I don’t see any results. Idk if retinol just doesn’t work for me or what but I literally used it for a year and didn’t notice any difference. I really wish she would list off a ton of high end and affordable eye creams that legit work. CAN ANYONE IN THE COMMENTS PLEASE TELL ME WHAT PRODUCTS THEY HAVE USED THAT HAVE ACTUALLY DIMINISHED THE LOOK OF THEIR WRINKLES? Obviously there’s no 1 miracle product and I don’t expect that but I would like to purchase products that will make even a bit of difference..😩😩😩😩
Thank you for all your efforts. Very useful! I've learned so much through your channel. I use retinol on my face and also on my eyes. I have no bad reactions with retinol. Currently, I am using the skinceuticals retinol cream and eye balm followed by cereve moisturizer
I watched a video saying that retinol can sometimes destroy meibomian glands, and that sometimes they don't grow back. Does this really happen, or do they always grow back/does retinol not actually harm them? I assume that they're safe but that video made me a bit nervous.
I started using Vaseline around my eyes at nighttime...also on my lips and it doesn't make things disappear...but I do find the lines to be a bit more "relaxed"... I also like my Neutrogena Healthy Skin Face Lotion with SPF...I have always had dry skin and now a senior, even more so...but this product helps keep my skin feeling nice and moisturized all day.
Okay, so I discovered this after emergency surgery last fall ... I felt and looked like dirt except my lower eyelids looked fantastic. After asking the nurse a bunch of questions (while on intense painkillers, so it was a little confusing for him), we figured out it was the petrolatum from taping my eyelids shut. We both 🤣🤣🤣 .
Dr.Dray-- can you please make a video addressing the fact that retinol can cause dry eye disease? Had I known, I would have never used a retinol eye creme by neutrogena. Dry eye is incredibly debilitating and I never heard of it causing dry eye before. It destroys the meibomian glands in your eyes that secrete oil to stabilize the tear film. I feel like I have soap in my eye 24/7 with burning pain. I used it off/on for a year, while also using a vit a serum and eventually differin on the rest of my face. It is terribly uncomfortable, it hurts to go outside, watch tv, work on the computer. I regret using retinol and people should know about the possible side-effects so they can quit while they're ahead if they're experiencing dry eye symptoms. Also, there is no cure for dry eye-- only symptom management.
So sorry to hear you are suffering with this but thank you for the info. I was just going to purchase some retinol eye cream. I googled retinol and meibomian glands and there is all kinds of info about retinol causing dry eyes.
I had terrible dry eye. I used Restasis for 2 years faithfully every day morning and night. I stopped using it and my dry eye was cleared up for 10 years. It recently came back (probably because I'm obsessed with "no wrinkles allowed around my eyes")and used so many different products. Anyway, I'm going on 72 and still have next to "Very Little" wrinkles that are diminished by intense moisturizing. However, my dry eye is back and I'm now trying Xiidra which is working well at clearing it up. Why would you go on suffering from Dry Eye when there are those 2 medications out there that work great? Until they kick in and totally relieve your dry eye you can use Blink or Systane in the mid-day to relieve it. Just wait at lest a few hours before using either of those to make sure that the med get absorbed first.
Great suggestions Joan! Are you willing to share which intense moisturizing products you use to diminish your eye wrinkles? Mine bother me so much that I am desperate to find something that might help. Tnx
i have the same problem. As a result I totally avoid the eye area and that seems to work. HOWEVER it is the under eye area that I really want to treat!!! Frustration!!
My skin was beyond recognition. Dull, pale with spots and wrinkles. And I'm only 34, don't smoke or drink. But I'm stressed. My skin is dry and sensitive and I have wrinkles especially on my forehead and under my eyes. I've started using Cerave Face Cream with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid 2 months ago. One participant wrinkle I had in between my eyebrows has gone! Those under my eyes have smoothed out a lot and I feel like those on my forehead have a bit too. I'm struggling not to make face expressions when I talk and I'm sure that contributed too. This is my skin routine for now: Morning: Cetaphil detergent for sensitive skin, Cerave Face cream and Avène sunscreen SPF 50+. And in the night I wash my face with a calming detergent from Toleriane and apply the same face cream. That's it. I haven't yet found a wrinkle treatment for me. Most have perfume in it and it's not good for sensitive skin
Hi Dr. Dray, thanks for the great content! :) I was wondering if Matrixyl 3000 would be safe to use around the eyes, and could it even help with fine lines around that area?
What can I use to restore my facial skin from sagging and restore a firm contour to my jawline? Also , what fan I do to help with those puppet lines on the sides of the mouth? Thank you so much for your help.
You've helped me in so many ways, to improve my lifestyle and skincare. I'm most grateful. I'm using the neutrogenia wrinkle cream all over my face and hands. And of course sunscreen!
Hey dr dray! Great informative vid as usual! Quick q for you. If one is using trentinoin on face at night avoiding eye lids can they use the neutrogena eye cream at the the same time? Thanks!
Thanks Dr Dray. Been using retinol and retinaldehyde since last July. So far so good 🤩. Will look out for Neutrogena eye cream most like sold in the UK. Have a fabby good week :)
Thanks for sharing. What type of lasering called, resurfacing can be done around the eye area? Also I realized at home radio frequency devices are not nearly as strong as in office devices but have you seen any research to where any are producing any results at home?
Hi Dr Dray. I wanted to start using retinol around my eyes but I came across eye doctors that claim that retinol will disrupt the glands beneath and above the eyelids. Please could you comment on this? Perhaps it is still safe to put just under those areas and not on top? Thanks
I love your videos....so informative and helpful but also I love how you recommend products that are affordable to buy. By the way..your skin looks amazing.
Sleep is dismissed easily? Every video regarding under eye area has that same advice!!! Been looking for some innovative tips, but here we go all over again: moisture, sleep, retinol,... and imagine this: spend money on treatments :D thank you so much, this was "so refreshing"
The best mineral sunscreen that does not sting my eyes or make me break out is: Astivita face and body sunscreen lotion. Warning though, it isn’t hydrating (learned that the hard way haha) so make sure to thoroughly moisturize your skin, especially around the eyes! It may feel tacky and like you’re spreading petroleum jelly on your face but it’s the only one that doesn’t make my eyes puff and cry and sting. It also doesn’t have a smell, like you know when you go outside and the sun hits you and your sunscreen smells like citrus/chemicals as it’s working? yea, this doesn’t do that 😆. I ordered it in amazon it’s affordable af.
Kathryn Stewart, I saw a dermatologist and was informed my wrinkles were mostly due to my low estrogen levels. I'd definitely get checked by your gyn to see if your estrogen deficient. Best wishes. Xx
Hi Dr Dray-happy Monday! So question-do you see significant improvement with not only using good SPF and moisturizer around eye area/sunglasses but also Botox to crows feet? Considering Botox to tone down my early crows feet.
Hello, I’ve been a fan since you started out. What do you think of a 7% TCA peel done around the eye area? Whether it be done at home or in office by a professional? The have been doing at home chemical peels for 7 years now, but never around the eyes.
I swear doctor dray reads my google search history lol♥️ I’ve had under eye lines since middle school, so I don’t think mine are age related. I’ve suffered from rather severe allergic conjunctivitis since I can remember. Unfortunately, I rubbed my eyes rather vigorously ever since I was a kid. I wish I knew then that it would cause significant damage.
1. Vitamin A eye cream
2. Moisturizer
3. Mineral Sunscreen
4. 8hrs sleep
Radio-frequency to tighten the skin
damn you save time
I can’t even do this because they’ll all give me an allergic reaction 😫

I saw a derm yesterday and she sadly didn’t have any idea what was going on with my skin. I wish I could see you! You’re so knowledgeable! Love your videos!!
She should do telemed
I wore my sunscreen today for the first time indoors. I actually like the glow it gives my face.
I m 65 old man dealing with DDD now adult Scoliosis 15 years and the PAIN IS TAKING A TOLL!! Between sleep and all this is showing. I try to put on good front for my family but it’s SHOWING! I’ll try something
Thank you 🙏🏻
Dr. Dray is the source of facts to counter online sellers masquerading as influencers.
Edit: Just a thought, can retinol be used on the neck and hands?
Thank you Dr. Dray! I've fallen in love with Eucerin Skin Calming Cream for dry itchy skin. Is that safe to put on my face and around my eyes? Have a good week! :)
i am aware that applying tretinoin under eye area is controversial but honestly speaking from my personal experience it does work. my under eye has no wrinkle, no panda eyes and the skin structures around the eye area is very firm. Precaution needs to be taken for first timer because some people can get irritation but luckily I experienced none of it
Same for me. It works great around my eyes and around my lips. I'm 60 years old and that is where I need my tretinoin the most🙂
Another bonus is that it improved my eyesight a lot. I can now read the small print on the labels again, must be the vitamin A. I may never need glasses😁
actually, I do the same thing, but very careful on the upper lids , if I even go there. and after long time use like a year, I can actually feel me lids tightening up ;)
@@carriekernel5564 i just lightly brushed the residue of my tretinoin around my eyebrow without tapping my eyelids cuz tretinoin can travel easily down to that area. been doing it consistently for 5 years and the result was honestly astounding
I use cerave retinol. Its not irritating. I hope it works.. Thoughts?
I use the cerave resurfacing retinol serum all over my face even my eyes. My skin loves it
Has it helped with undereye wrinkle?
Vit C in the AM and Retinol in the PM and SPF every day got rid of mine took a few years but about to turn 30 and I have zero wrinkles whereas when I was 22 I had them under eyes and on my forehead, swear by my routine. Simple yet effective
What retinol did you use?
@@EM-mw6et Paulas choice
Paula's Choice also has a retinol?
@@KerrBearrxo you mean - CLINICAL CERAMIDE-ENRICHED EYECREAM?
@@perfectlyimperfect953 No, it's called Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment.
I have always used tretinoin around my eyes without any problems.
Hi Dr.Dray can you do an overview on JLO's new skincare line? It has been everywhere and an opinion from a board certified dermatologist would be highly appreciated! Love all your videos!
YES, please!!!
Yes yes yes!!!
And Pharrell Williams's line
Haha she has done a video about celebrity skincare. She isn't a fan of them. Probably especially if it has olive oil and fragrances in it.
Can you make a video explaining how and to what extent a person can heal existing sun damage with topical vitamin a? As a 21-year-old, I’m wondering how much accumulated sun damage I can remove now that I wear sunscreen daily (thanks to your videos!)
I have been waiting for this for so long!!!
Happy Monday and thank you, Dr. Dray!! ❤️
I just recently discovered you and have been binging your videos for days! After spending the last 40 years boldly proclaiming the only thing I ever needed on my face was water and sunscreen, I'm now plagued by terrible rosacea and deep deep wrinkles. Sigh. Anyway, now enter you. While I do think you'd agree with my "less is more" approach, I think we can both see where I went wrong, and I'd like to help my daughters (and maybe even sons) avoid the same mistake. I find you to have a very "common sense" approach and manner of speaking that I find very relatable, and I imagine my children would relate to you as well.
I enjoyed your "skincare for your 20s", "30s" "40s" videos. Could you please consider making a similar video such as:
Skincare for Teenagers (popular products and TikTok trends)
Skincare for Adolescents (for example, discussing periods and acne and how certain foods can exacerbate that)
Skincare for Pre-Teens (perhaps explaining that pores get larger and blackheads become more common)
Skincare for College Students/Young Adults (for example, addressing that birth control can suddenly cause acne and if you should switch your regular skin care products or if you should switch your birth control)
Skincare for Teenage Boys
Skincare for Young Adult Males
I'm sure you have a very long list of video topics already, but a video targeted to these issues would be greatly appreciated. 🙏
You mentioned retinol eye cream, but is it ok to just use Your tretinoin, or do we need a separate retinol to under eyes? Thx
an allergy gave me deep wrinkles for a few months and then they just ..disappeared! Can someone tell me what happened
Alright. I don't expect I'll receive any response on this but I'll write anyway and hope it will be of help.
First some background info.
I'm in my mid 20s. I've started using tretinoin 0.025% 2 years ago, on and off. For the past few months I've been using 0.1% strength tretinoin every night, along with a moisturizer. I get little to no irritation since my skin has adapted to it.
My issue is as follows, I've been noticing the formation of undereye fine lines for a while now, and it's been continuously worsening. I didn't have any fine lines under my eyes before, I am certain of this because I've been obsessing over details on my skin since I was 12, mostly because I've always had skin issues (acne, scars, folliculitis, etc.) Now, I clicked on this video in hopes I'd find some methods to help me get rid of those newly formed wrinkles. Seeing how retinol is mentioned, and in my case that is the culprit of my problem, I am now even more confused as to what I should do and why tretinoin caused my issue in the first place.
Any input would be gladly appreciated.
I just read a post on Reddit that said the exact same thing. Tretinion caused deep wrinkles underneath her eyes that weren't there before. Tretinion is an anti aging treatment but it can also dry the skin out which can cause even more wrinkles as a side effect. I'm so sorry for what happened.
Maybe the retinol formula in your product is not adapted for the under eye skin.
Thanks for this and Happy Monday! I've always had creases under my eyes, but ever since I turned 30 they've taken over my face. Especially in the last few years. I haaaaate it.
This is the ONLY dr dray video I’ve ever watched that I found very unhelpful. I’ve already done everything she’s mentioned for sooo long and I don’t see any results. Idk if retinol just doesn’t work for me or what but I literally used it for a year and didn’t notice any difference. I really wish she would list off a ton of high end and affordable eye creams that legit work. CAN ANYONE IN THE COMMENTS PLEASE TELL ME WHAT PRODUCTS THEY HAVE USED THAT HAVE ACTUALLY DIMINISHED THE LOOK OF THEIR WRINKLES? Obviously there’s no 1 miracle product and I don’t expect that but I would like to purchase products that will make even a bit of difference..😩😩😩😩
Thank you for all your efforts. Very useful! I've learned so much through your channel. I use retinol on my face and also on my eyes. I have no bad reactions with retinol. Currently, I am using the skinceuticals retinol cream and eye balm followed by cereve moisturizer
How to get rid of wrinkles above the eye lids ?????????
Ugh thank you for leaving links in the description!!! Makes it so easy
Your skin is GLOWING! 💖
I watched a video saying that retinol can sometimes destroy meibomian glands, and that sometimes they don't grow back. Does this really happen, or do they always grow back/does retinol not actually harm them? I assume that they're safe but that video made me a bit nervous.
I've heard of that too! I say better be safe than sorry and only apply retinol where you're getting wrinkles rather than slather it all over your eyes
Maybe I can help other people here with this. Do everything Dr Dray says, because she is the Goddess of skin care
Would love to know more on thread lifts and the evidence of producing collagen; also who potentially benefits from this procedure?
I started using Vaseline around my eyes at nighttime...also on my lips and it doesn't make things disappear...but I do find the lines to be a bit more "relaxed"... I also like my Neutrogena Healthy Skin Face Lotion with SPF...I have always had dry skin and now a senior, even more so...but this product helps keep my skin feeling nice and moisturized all day.
I did that too. It gave me milia after a while
Okay, so I discovered this after emergency surgery last fall ... I felt and looked like dirt except my lower eyelids looked fantastic. After asking the nurse a bunch of questions (while on intense painkillers, so it was a little confusing for him), we figured out it was the petrolatum from taping my eyelids shut. We both 🤣🤣🤣 .
My derm suggested this for undereye. It doesnt moisturize but keeps moisture from leaving the skin. Its great!
Dr.Dray-- can you please make a video addressing the fact that retinol can cause dry eye disease? Had I known, I would have never used a retinol eye creme by neutrogena. Dry eye is incredibly debilitating and I never heard of it causing dry eye before. It destroys the meibomian glands in your eyes that secrete oil to stabilize the tear film. I feel like I have soap in my eye 24/7 with burning pain. I used it off/on for a year, while also using a vit a serum and eventually differin on the rest of my face.
It is terribly uncomfortable, it hurts to go outside, watch tv, work on the computer. I regret using retinol and people should know about the possible side-effects so they can quit while they're ahead if they're experiencing dry eye symptoms. Also, there is no cure for dry eye-- only symptom management.
Great suggestion! I have yet to find an eye cream that doesn't burn, irritate & result in dry eyes . . . even ones without any retinol!
So sorry to hear you are suffering with this but thank you for the info. I was just going to purchase some retinol eye cream. I googled retinol and meibomian glands and there is all kinds of info about retinol causing dry eyes.
I had terrible dry eye. I used Restasis for 2 years faithfully every day morning and night. I stopped using it and my dry eye was cleared up for 10 years. It recently came back (probably because I'm obsessed with "no wrinkles allowed around my eyes")and used so many different products. Anyway, I'm going on 72 and still have next to "Very Little" wrinkles that are diminished by intense moisturizing. However, my dry eye is back and I'm now trying Xiidra which is working well at clearing it up. Why would you go on suffering from Dry Eye when there are those 2 medications out there that work great? Until they kick in and totally relieve your dry eye you can use Blink or Systane in the mid-day to relieve it. Just wait at lest a few hours before using either of those to make sure that the med get absorbed first.
Great suggestions Joan! Are you willing to share which intense moisturizing products you use to diminish your eye wrinkles? Mine bother me so much that I am desperate to find something that might help. Tnx
i have the same problem. As a result I totally avoid the eye area and that seems to work. HOWEVER it is the under eye area that I really want to treat!!! Frustration!!
dr.Dray anything on droppy eyelids!!💜
Using a 20% vitamin c is helping me..using with hyaluronic acid I guess can build collagen. Also I use Frownies to combat dynamic wrinkles
My skin was beyond recognition. Dull, pale with spots and wrinkles. And I'm only 34, don't smoke or drink. But I'm stressed. My skin is dry and sensitive and I have wrinkles especially on my forehead and under my eyes. I've started using Cerave Face Cream with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid 2 months ago. One participant wrinkle I had in between my eyebrows has gone! Those under my eyes have smoothed out a lot and I feel like those on my forehead have a bit too. I'm struggling not to make face expressions when I talk and I'm sure that contributed too.
This is my skin routine for now:
Morning: Cetaphil detergent for sensitive skin, Cerave Face cream and Avène sunscreen SPF 50+.
And in the night I wash my face with a calming detergent from Toleriane and apply the same face cream. That's it. I haven't yet found a wrinkle treatment for me. Most have perfume in it and it's not good for sensitive skin
Hi Dr. Dray, thanks for the great content! :)
I was wondering if Matrixyl 3000 would be safe to use around the eyes, and could it even help with fine lines around that area?
What can I use to restore my facial skin from sagging and restore a firm contour to my jawline? Also , what fan I do to help with those puppet lines on the sides of the mouth? Thank you so much for your help.
Thanks Dr. Dray. I’ve been meaning to say that I really love your closing tune. I always let it play to the end.
Thank you for the suggestion on sunscreen for children around the eyes!! Be blessed.
That’s the video I truly need
Please review the sunscreen from pipette!
Just noticed you’re at a million subscribers! Congrats!! 🎉✨
Thank you for suggesting OTC, reasonably priced products that you feel do the job!!!
You've helped me in so many ways, to improve my lifestyle and skincare. I'm most grateful. I'm using the neutrogenia wrinkle cream all over my face and hands. And of course sunscreen!
update?
Hey dr dray! Great informative vid as usual! Quick q for you. If one is using trentinoin on face at night avoiding eye lids can they use the neutrogena eye cream at the the same time? Thanks!
Congratulations for the 1M!
Could someone know if she has a video about retinol for beginners?!
I'm 29 years old and I very dry skin.
You look so nice! I think this hair style is really flattering on you.
Thanks Dr Dray. Been using retinol and retinaldehyde since last July. So far so good 🤩. Will look out for Neutrogena eye cream most like sold in the UK. Have a fabby good week :)
Greetings Naddy N hope u r well n Happy Monday😀👍💜....
@@whitneybrown4067 hey there Whitney. Doing well and hope you are too. Happy Monday! 😎🎉🇬🇧
Thanks for sharing. What type of lasering called, resurfacing can be done around the eye area? Also I realized at home radio frequency devices are not nearly as strong as in office devices but have you seen any research to where any are producing any results at home?
Reading my mind! I was wondering this morning what to do for my eyelids and under eye area.
Happy Monday Dr Dray & everyone. Always thankful for all your info. Happy 2021!
Hi Dr Dray. I wanted to start using retinol around my eyes but I came across eye doctors that claim that retinol will disrupt the glands beneath and above the eyelids. Please could you comment on this? Perhaps it is still safe to put just under those areas and not on top? Thanks
@@riorio745 Thank you :)
This was such a useful video for me, thank you so much
I love your videos....so informative and helpful but also I love how you recommend products that are affordable to buy. By the way..your skin looks amazing.
Dr. Dray, does using petroleum jelly under your eyes help reduce under eye wrinkles? Is it safe for people with milia?
Happy Monday! Thank you for bringing up this subject which helps me a lot! My main problem is the underside of my eyes!
You are so welcome!
SIO patches are amazing too!!!
So grateful for your videos. Thank you for your honest and professional opinion!
Sleep is dismissed easily? Every video regarding under eye area has that same advice!!! Been looking for some innovative tips, but here we go all over again: moisture, sleep, retinol,... and imagine this: spend money on treatments :D thank you so much, this was "so refreshing"
The best mineral sunscreen that does not sting my eyes or make me break out is: Astivita face and body sunscreen lotion.
Warning though, it isn’t hydrating (learned that the hard way haha) so make sure to thoroughly moisturize your skin, especially around the eyes! It may feel tacky and like you’re spreading petroleum jelly on your face but it’s the only one that doesn’t make my eyes puff and cry and sting. It also doesn’t have a smell, like you know when you go outside and the sun hits you and your sunscreen smells like citrus/chemicals as it’s working? yea, this doesn’t do that 😆. I ordered it in amazon it’s affordable af.
thanks for these tips and have a great Monday xo
You too!!
Happy Monday 😊 😃
Great video! I’m not a thirsty person ( post menopausal), so I was wondering if drinking lots of water helps eye wrinkles?
Kathryn Stewart, I saw a dermatologist and was informed my wrinkles were mostly due to my low estrogen levels. I'd definitely get checked by your gyn to see if your estrogen deficient. Best wishes. Xx
Hi Dr Dray-happy Monday! So question-do you see significant improvement with not only using good SPF and moisturizer around eye area/sunglasses but also Botox to crows feet? Considering Botox to tone down my early crows feet.
You are literally my role model!
Girl you look better with age. Thank you for the accurate info and keep on slaying at life
Hello, I’ve been a fan since you started out. What do you think of a 7% TCA peel done around the eye area? Whether it be done at home or in office by a professional? The have been doing at home chemical peels for 7 years now, but never around the eyes.
Which comes first: Retinol eye cream or moisturizer?
I swear doctor dray reads my google search history lol♥️
I’ve had under eye lines since middle school, so I don’t think mine are age related. I’ve suffered from rather severe allergic conjunctivitis since I can remember. Unfortunately, I rubbed my eyes rather vigorously ever since I was a kid. I wish I knew then that it would cause significant damage.
I’ve been waiting for this! 👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Same! The wrinkles under my eyes have been getting worse for a month or so now...and I'm only 26 lol
Me too
I’m approaching 30 and I’ve started to notice some wrinkles and creases 😭
@@sabrinag6583 Getting older sucks hhaha
hope the tips are helpful
Congrats on a million 🤘🏽 well-deserved
Thank you for sharing Dr. Dray. Is it safe and good to use Neutrogena Hydro boost water gel around the eye as a moisturizers?
