See I’m one of those where differin or any strong retinol does in fact give me huge swollen eyes. Like so swollen it appears that my eyes are shut when they are not. I have to have a layer of petroleum or a thick ointment around my eyes, nose and mouth or else I can have a pretty extreme reaction. 😢
@MurdaMeg Same here !! I get very swollen lids if I go to close when applying. I never apply even that close to eyes, it usually happens when I'm lazy about applying my differin, like putting eye cream on after apply the differin but not washing my fingers properly after.

@@mckennadevore8692using retinol on your face, but avoiding eyes area would make you look stupid. You'd have more wrinkles on places that you've been avoiding.
Hi there do you mix the Tretinoin with anything? & how many times per week? I use the same .1% on my face & would like to try under the eyes I’m worried about the irritation.
@@colleenpec121 I only recently started adding a moisturizer n eye cream after applying tretinoin. For eyes, Kiehl’s avocado eye cream. For face, I switch between Kiehl’s barrier cream, PTR niacinamide cream, Skin Fix peptide cream. I apply tretinoin 3X a week n every night for underneath my eyes. If ur worried about sensitivity, try the sandwich method. Moisturize, tretinoin, moisturize or switch to a lower dosage if sensitivity occurs. Consistency is key. Please be sure to use a sunscreen everyday. Lastly, consult with ur dermatologist if u have any doubts or concerns. Good luck!
And I’ve been using Retinol around my eyes for a few years now- no problem. I’m an oily skin girl with little no sensitivity issues. I also exfoliate my under eye. 🤷🏾♀️
Me too.. I actually just put it on about 5 minutes ago- and made sure to put it on and around my eyes. Have been for years. I’ve never once had a problem with it. I wonder what she thinks of it if your skin doesn’t react poorly to it.. does she think it’s alright then? I’d love to hear her answer:)
After o use retinol, I use an eye balm to keep that moisture on the eyes all night since retinol is known for drying out ur skin. An eye balm is like a lip balm, or Vaseline, but it's specifically for ur eyes. (BEST PURCHASE EVER. GET THE EYE BALM)
I did and I looked like I was in a boxing ring! Swelling, painful redness and difficult to be outside in the sunshine. THANK YOU for this- wished I’d seen it sooner!
Eye wrinkles won’t be fixed by tretinoin much. The real issue is your eye area fat drifted down. You need fat, collagen from tret will help but fat is the main reason
YES. It’s fine just don’t get it IN the eye or in the water line. If it’s that irritating, just use moisturizer under, tret, moisturize again. (Sandwich method)
I use a very small amount around my eye area but not directly on the eyes. I also cycle my actives and skin care. When I do use my Tretinoin I'll use a serum and eye gel first and do the sandwich method. It seems to work well for me! I had to do a lot of research and a lot of talking to my dermatologist to figure out what would work for me. Now it's about replacing a very expensive serum with something more affordable! I think I've finally found my routine and now I'm adding light therapy and my husband cannot wrap his mind around it at all. Lol 😂❤ Love and appreciate your channel so much!
I also always use the sandwich method and go around my eye area, I have never had a bad reaction. Considering I have dry, sensitive skin, my skin has never peeled or dried out, in fact it looks more dewy and plump the next day
@@fatimaezzahra1966 I have seen results all around. But staying consistent is key. Have you started with an OTC retinol to start with? Low dose is best until your skin can get used to it
At first I was ok with retinol/retrinal around my eyes, but one morning I woke up and my eyes seemed to age YEARS. So now I protect them with vaseline, previous any substance, and they are happily back to normal, even using now adalpene ❤. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I have learned a lot from your content!!!
Ive used it around the eyes but not in eyelids, there are no irtitation, it can remove easily small wrinkles around my eyes also it thicken the skin around eyes
I request everyone to use retinol or tret at least 2 hours before going to bed. When i first used retinol around the eyes , it gave some serious irritation to my right eye, but when i started using it 2 hours before bed, there was no irritation at all...❤❤
Same experience! I got eczema all over my eyelids, I almost couldn't open my eyes in the morning every time I was using retinal, even though I was not applying it in the eye area and the rest of my face was fine with it. Then I realized that no matter where you apply it, it's bound to end up close to your eyes while you sleep, leading to side effects, if you apply it right before putting your face on the pillow
I found it my eyes super dry after I wake up if I apply it on my upper eyelid. But it’s just fine if I put it on lower eye bags and outer corners. 😅 It reduces mila as well.
I used tretinoin under eyes for a brief period, id say twice weekly for two weeks. My eyes were so painfully dry that i had to have a neighbor drive me to eye specialist. I couldn't read, my vision was so blurry and wore sunglasses even indoors. It took a year of periodic treatments with laser to heat up meibomian glands and express them to become liquid again. My left eye still gas problems. I will Never use it again! I had used retinol serum for a year previously with no issues.
I use retinaldehyde all around my eyes, including my eyelids. I worked up to it, using the La Roche-Posay eye cream/serum with retinol (redermic) for months. It's fine.
Use an eye balm over the retinol. You'll thank me. I use intensive eye balm by equilibrium hourglass. It's the best purchase I've ever made. All their stuff is freaking amazing.
I have used both Geek and Gorgeous Retinal 0.1% and YTTP Retinal+Niacinamide serum at 0.15% everywhere, eyes, lids and lips with almost no irritation. very very rarely I Will get a small amount of dryness on corners of my mouth, but taking a couple days off fixes it np
I use a very small amount of Bakuchiol serum on the lower part of my eye socket, the outer corners of my eyes, and on the brow bone. Never on the eyelid, nor directly under the eye. Simple reason: I don't want it to get into my eyes, because it stings!
I mean... Use a product made for the eye area that does contain a low dosage of retinol or protect that area with a cream or vaseline before using retinol around there
Ohhhhhh my gosh. I’m embarrassed to say I never read the instructions on my cereve retinol. I’ve been using 5 days a week for 3 months or so? And I’m so damn messy with my skin care so I just rub it everywhere all over. I’ve had dry eye for years but it didn’t have a major impact on my day to day until very recently when my flare ups are so frequent and so painful. I’ve stopped wearing all makeup because of it. I can’t wear my contacts. But you tell me the same thing that is transforming my skin texture is lighting my eyeballs on fire?! This video just saved me from myself 😅
Update: I changed my application technique and have only had 1 (ONE!!!) flare up in the last month and I think it was just because of my SPF dripping into my eyes. This video really improved my quality of life 😂😅
I use it around my eyes, technically. I mix my tret with an equal amount of night cream. I rub it into my face and neck, at the very end of rubbing my face I rub around my eyes. My under eyes and brow bone, also my lips. I have been using tretinoin almost 20 years!❤
@@heeeq0 I use 0.05 tretinoin and its generic, My insurance covers it. If you dont have insurance try Curology. I have used them in the past for tretinoin when I didnt have insurance. Its about 30$ a month which is about what I payed for with insurance. Curology uses doctors and nurse practitioners to consult over email, you send them some face pics, they ship everything to you right away. I was very impressed with them. There are other online companies now but I suggest Curology. Im not sponsored either lol
You should be careful mixing it directly with the moisturiser tho, it can separate into patchy bits and leave large amounts of retinol in some spots. (I use retinaldehyde too tho lol, it's very gentle)
@@ulisesorizaga I'm 63 and people routinely think I'm no older than 50. I stayed out of the sun and wore sunscreen regularly, so that's probably why I look younger than most people my age. I just started using Retin-A nightly a few months ago, so no visible effects yet. It takes 6 to 12 months of regular use to see results.
@@ulisesorizaga they probably didn't see your question but I'm 43. Acne has been the bane of my existence so I've used tretinoin since forever. It's been 2 years with tretinoin cream; about 6 months ago I started putting it right under my left eye to try to erase a dark spot freckle type of thing. The spot is GONE and my left eye looks 10 years younger than the right one, it's so weird but I didn't really notice until someone pointed it out. It's an accidental perfect control sample in a mini experiment; tretinoin under the eye does *wonders*
Perhaps using a thicker moisturizer first as buffer can help with irritation? I sometimes dab a *bit* of petrolatum too, let it absorb then put tret under my eyes. Haven't tried it on the upper areas yet. :)
Foolishly, I did. I have very sensitive Fitzpatrick phototype 1 skin; I applied a Strong retinol hoping to eventually "blur" the fine lines/ crepey skin around my eyes. It burned my skin- became bright red by the morning and looked like I had aged twenty years; and then, my under eye area began to peel... I had to wash the area with unscented baby wash and apply just a thin layer of Vaseline for the next week & a half. Lesson learned. 😞
I used my 0.025% tretinoin three times per week and had no issues. I'd apply it under my eyes and on the bone just under my eyebrows. Like you say, *never* on the actual lids. I'm on 0.05% now and haven't used it there yet, but eventually I will.
I was told many years ago by a dermatologist that tretinoin on my eyelids was fine as long as it didn’t irritate. It doesn’t so I use it. No eye problems so far, I look much younger than my age, but I’m concerned by these warnings so will scale back and see if I notice any difference
I learned the hard way NOT to put tret on my eyes and I wasn't even intentionally putting it there 😂. It happened because I would put it on the bridge of my nose and then wear glasses before bed (I need glasses cuz I'm blind as a bat without them). I guess the glasses made it easier for the tret to transfer onto my eyelids and I had dry, scaly patches on the inner corners of my eyelids for months until i figured out what i was doing wrong 🙃 My eyelids have thankfully gone back to normal since i stopped applying tret on my nose bridge.
I’ve been using tret around my entire eye without issues for over three years now. Like I don’t make a point of applying it to my eye lid the same way I do along the orbital bone, but some of the cream is definitely getting onto my eyelid as I rub it in everywhere else along my eye socket. I haven’t experienced any sensitivity or side effects there. The only part of my face that I’ve ever gotten sensitive from tret use has actually been my forehead, and I assume that that’s just because that’s the part of my face that’s always been the most dry. I can even apply straight to neck (which Dr. Idris has mentioned she has issues with) without any problem. As far as my neck’s concerned, it may as well be just another layer on moisturizer.
I have tried several times but it causes severe irritation under my eyes and sides of my nose. Tried so many different moisturisers as a base but my skin can’t take it! 💔
I have used tretinoin for 20+ years, now I have severe dry eye syndrome. If I use too much or too frequently it does make my eyes worse even though I avoid the periorbital area. Now I mostly spot treat twice weekly and full face every other week or so.
My eye under eye cream contains 0.1% tretinoin. I also use artificial tears. A worthwhile trade off for me. Also, mixing with lotion helps if it's too harsh, oh, and Vaseline is AMAZING!
I use a retinal around my eyes, both eyelids and under and have no problems (and I actually have pretty sensitive skin overall) 🤷♀️ Go figure. I only use it every other night currently, though.
If you've really long lashes like i do, it does transport anything i apply under my eyes into my eye sockets, no matter how careful i am to apply it not too close to the rims. I now have an inflamed permanent red rim around my eyes even when ive stopped. Also red veins on my eye whites from irritation.
Idk this so I have used it around my eyes since I started using retinol. Luckily, I never had an issue I guess. I am careful when applying anything around my eyes thou and I never get too close to the lash because I am terrified of getting stuff in my eyes especially product that could burn.
The problem is creams can migrate to the Meibomian Glands so it's important to keep lash area clear of cream or even apply a light eye cream first under the lashes to prevent the migration of retinol.
The only time retinol eye cream seems to dehydrate the skin on my eyes (I use it on the upper eyelid as well) is when I top it with vaseline. Let me tell you, vaseline intensifies retinol's effect SO MUCH for me.
I use .1% Tretinoin cream around my eyes and on my eyelids with Shisedo eye cream and it works great! I get peeling and my eyelids look almost lifted after about a year of doing this. I did use retinol products on my eyes for years before this though, so I’m sure that’s helped prime my eyes for the intensity of straight Tretinoin.
I thought retinol was supposed to help with wrinkles. Im 24 so I really don’t want to get eye wrinkles so I used retinol around my eyes 2x a week (+ my whole face) and I hated my life , after 3 uses or so it started to irritate my eyes and it turned a dark shade cause I burned the skin around my eyes with it! Thankfully it went away after a couple of weeks . Now when I use retinol I don’t use it around my eyes anymore (sorry for my bad English , it’s not my first language)
You can use it around your eyes, just don’t get it to close and def use like Vaseline before hand. Or something. The sandwich method people here were talking about. But yea similar experience. My eyes were super dry for a bit I put it directly on my eyes
I guess we all react differently to certain medication but like others here I was left with scarly patches in the inner corners of my eyelids still 12+ months on 😢 they are very sensitive now and itchy and sore. I believe I may of used a tad to much or it just doesn’t agree with my skin Retinols. I used a well know brand too. only used it bcs a older lady from work kept telling me I looked ropy for a girl my age not quite 20. I had slight puffiness to start with and dark circles from childhood due lack of sleep. I barely wear makeup too as my skin is Amazing on my face apart from the panda eyes. Wish I never tried 😭
I had a serious allergic reaction to retinol, my eyelids became swollen and itchy. After this incident, I had one sagging eyelid, it took a year to recover and tighten it up.

Tretinoin spreads anyway so there’s actually no reason to heap it on especially around the eyes. I just spread it there with whatever is left
I used my 0.025% tretinoin three times per week and had no issues. I'd apply it under my eyes and on the bone just under my eyebrows. Like you say, *never* on the actual lids. I'm on 0.05% now and haven't used it there yet, but eventually I will.
I use my eye cream around my eyes and face, then put on my Retin A under and one the side of my eyes. No problem.
Thank you! Please also keep an eye out for patients on accutane as they can develop MGD that can not be reversed.
I was told many years ago by a dermatologist that tretinoin on my eyelids was fine as long as it didn’t irritate. It doesn’t so I use it. No eye problems so far, I look much younger than my age, but I’m concerned by these warnings so will scale back and see if I notice any difference
Worked for me . Thankfully.
I learned the hard way NOT to put tret on my eyes and I wasn't even intentionally putting it there 😂. It happened because I would put it on the bridge of my nose and then wear glasses before bed (I need glasses cuz I'm blind as a bat without them). I guess the glasses made it easier for the tret to transfer onto my eyelids and I had dry, scaly patches on the inner corners of my eyelids for months until i figured out what i was doing wrong 🙃
My eyelids have thankfully gone back to normal since i stopped applying tret on my nose bridge.
That's not what she's talking about, but good point.
Can we use castor oil on eyelashes for growth?? Does it helps in lash growth?
Love you videos ❤
I put moisturizer on and around my eyelids and lip area before puting my retinol on. Stops me getting all red and flaky.
I’ve been using tret around my entire eye without issues for over three years now. Like I don’t make a point of applying it to my eye lid the same way I do along the orbital bone, but some of the cream is definitely getting onto my eyelid as I rub it in everywhere else along my eye socket. I haven’t experienced any sensitivity or side effects there. The only part of my face that I’ve ever gotten sensitive from tret use has actually been my forehead, and I assume that that’s just because that’s the part of my face that’s always been the most dry. I can even apply straight to neck (which Dr. Idris has mentioned she has issues with) without any problem. As far as my neck’s concerned, it may as well be just another layer on moisturizer.
So the answer is “NO” ?
I love that top so much 😍
I have tried several times but it causes severe irritation under my eyes and sides of my nose. Tried so many different moisturisers as a base but my skin can’t take it! 💔
I have used tretinoin for 20+ years, now I have severe dry eye syndrome. If I use too much or too frequently it does make my eyes worse even though I avoid the periorbital area. Now I mostly spot treat twice weekly and full face every other week or so.
So do we under eyes or not? Very confusing.
I liked that picture
I always wondered. What can we use. Thank you so much for telling us.
Loved the picture
Doc! The pic 😅
I need that crew neck though. You look stunning in it
My eye under eye cream contains 0.1% tretinoin. I also use artificial tears. A worthwhile trade off for me. Also, mixing with lotion helps if it's too harsh, oh, and Vaseline is AMAZING!
I've been using tretinoin around my eyes for years. As I remember there use to be some flaking, not anymore... and I use contact lenses.
I use a retinal around my eyes, both eyelids and under and have no problems (and I actually have pretty sensitive skin overall) 🤷♀️ Go figure. I only use it every other night currently, though.
If you've really long lashes like i do, it does transport anything i apply under my eyes into my eye sockets, no matter how careful i am to apply it not too close to the rims. I now have an inflamed permanent red rim around my eyes even when ive stopped. Also red veins on my eye whites from irritation.
I do - because that’s where I need it! No issues.
Thank God I checked the comments, I was about to give a call to my Lasik surgeon.
Idk this so I have used it around my eyes since I started using retinol. Luckily, I never had an issue I guess. I am careful when applying anything around my eyes thou and I never get too close to the lash because I am terrified of getting stuff in my eyes especially product that could burn.
I’ve used it sparingly under my eyes. It doesn’t sting or hurt. It seems to make the skin firmer. I use an eye cream too.
*ISDIN* retinAL for eye contour, just to name one. Personally, I can tolerate treti perfectly🪄
🧛🏻♀️🖤
The problem is creams can migrate to the Meibomian Glands so it's important to keep lash area clear of cream or even apply a light eye cream first under the lashes to prevent the migration of retinol.
That pic was an amazing example
I kinda use the CeraVe (blue bottle) retinol under the eye using the moisture sandwich method and have observed no issues for my skin.
I use it around my eyes and never have any issues.
I never had a problem with any type of retinoid around my eyes & i've been using retinoids for 5+ years now.
You may live to regret this 😊
Honestly anything with Vaseline as a barrier clutch/buffer is interesting to work with. :)
Doctor, do you have any opinion on the topical winlevi for hormonal acne? Would love to hear your take on it. Is it really good for pcos cystic acne?
I’ve just been diagnosed with Blepharitis-would love a video on at home care, products to use/avoid. All my skincare/makeup is in the bin 😢
There are lots of good ophthalmologists on YT. It's best to check out a good eye doc.
I’ve been using it aaaaall over my face chin and neck for over 5 years and all is good
I have used it around the eyes for years and no irritation there at all ❤
Thanks for responding to my comment 🥰 but where’s the rest of the video 😩
The only time retinol eye cream seems to dehydrate the skin on my eyes (I use it on the upper eyelid as well) is when I top it with vaseline. Let me tell you, vaseline intensifies retinol's effect SO MUCH for me.
I use .1% Tretinoin cream around my eyes and on my eyelids with Shisedo eye cream and it works great! I get peeling and my eyelids look almost lifted after about a year of doing this. I did use retinol products on my eyes for years before this though, so I’m sure that’s helped prime my eyes for the intensity of straight Tretinoin.
Ur so smart ❤.. I noticed a big change when I put on eye cream with the residue from the Tretinoin cream on my lids/eye area.. and no irritation
I thought retinol was supposed to help with wrinkles. Im 24 so I really don’t want to get eye wrinkles so I used retinol around my eyes 2x a week (+ my whole face) and I hated my life , after 3 uses or so it started to irritate my eyes and it turned a dark shade cause I burned the skin around my eyes with it! Thankfully it went away after a couple of weeks . Now when I use retinol I don’t use it around my eyes anymore (sorry for my bad English , it’s not my first language)
You can use it around your eyes, just don’t get it to close and def use like Vaseline before hand. Or something. The sandwich method people here were talking about. But yea similar experience. My eyes were super dry for a bit I put it directly on my eyes
What's a great retinol?
Do u think Obagi has a good retinol?
Thank you for your help 🙂
I guess we all react differently to certain medication but like others here I was left with scarly patches in the inner corners of my eyelids still 12+ months on 😢 they are very sensitive now and itchy and sore. I believe I may of used a tad to much or it just doesn’t agree with my skin Retinols. I used a well know brand too. only used it bcs a older lady from work kept telling me I looked ropy for a girl my age not quite 20. I had slight puffiness to start with and dark circles from childhood due lack of sleep. I barely wear makeup too as my skin is Amazing on my face apart from the panda eyes. Wish I never tried 😭
I use it all over my eyes and have never had an issue. I’m just hoping it helps thicken the skin. What does it do to those glands?
I had a serious allergic reaction to retinol, my eyelids became swollen and itchy. After this incident, I had one sagging eyelid, it took a year to recover and tighten it up.
I use it for years, didnt explode yet but kinda excited to see that one now.
I use Niacinamide 2-5% Cica moisturiser
Gel after 15 min
Apply extra nourishing bepanthol
Not a single
Irritatation
Great!
Can we put oil once in a while on the eyelid for the purpose of moisturizing?
Can you please talk about estrogen cream for women and how it helps perimenopausal/ menopausal women? Skin is impacted as soon as estrogen depletes
I don’t use it around my eyes. Actually surprised so many people do.
