The skin around the eyes is naturally thin and fragile, making it more susceptible to the aging process as collagen and elastin fibers break down with age,” Fenton explains. “We also have a lot of movement in the area as we smile, squint, and rub our eyes, which further induces the formation of wrinkles.” Olay’s best wrinkle-fighting ingredient is now in an eye cream! Olay Eyes Pro-Retinol Eye Treatment visibly reduces crow’s feet & deep wrinkles in just 4 weeks. Formulated with Olay’s best wrinkle-fighting ingredient: pro-retinol. It's gentler than other prescription retinoids and designed for the delicate skin around the eyes. Watch your crow’s feet take flight with Pro-Retinol Eye Treatment. Not all retinol eye cream formulas are created equal. Here's what to know before buying, according to Dr. Yeh:

The olay pro retinol treatment comes in a small red tube with a easy to use squeezable long lid that delivers a tiny amount of white lightweight yet hydrating cream. The tube is great as it only delivers a small amount of product. It's also perfect for keeping the ingredients stable as it stops light and air getting in- which can effect the ingredients. Yes, technically there’s no retinol in this formula but we think it deserves a place on the list because some people truly can’t tolerate retinol at all. Not to mention that it’s a no-no when you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. The next best thing? Bakuchiol is a plant-based ingredient that’s been shown in studies to have almost identical anti-aging effects to retinol but without any side effects. It’s the star of the show in this creamy balm, which also boasts caffeine and algae to tighten, firm, and de-puff. There is also a slew of hydrating ingredients—hyaluronic acid, squalene, ceramides—that help to give this blend its pleasingly rich texture. This is one of the most expensive options on our list, but if retinol really doesn’t work for you, it’s well worth it for the results. Prepare. Apply Olay's lightweight essence and serum to help make skin receptive to anti-ageing ingredients. Moisturise. Use with Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Day Cream during the day and Night Cream at night. As a general rule of thumb, you shouldn’t put any eye cream (especially a retinol-based one) on your eyelids unless the directions specifically say that it’s okay to do so. This formula is one of those rare ones that can be applied around the entire eye, including on the lids, ensuring you get a 360-degree anti-aging effect. Because it’s a serum, the silky texture sinks into the skin beautifully. And as far as retinol goes, this formula touts a retinoid complex that combines a time-released version of the ingredient with a fast-acting one, plus a booster that ups the efficacy of both. Reviewers do note that this can cause irritation on very sensitive skin, so it’s probably not suitable if you have eczema or psoriasis-prone skin type.

MULTIPLE PACKS

Olay Eyes with Pro Retinol Eye Treatment was just what I needed for those fine lines and crows feet. I first started noticing my lines at age 28. Crows Feet were determined to make an appearance with every happy smile I gave. The natural scrunching of my eye not only showed my happiness but my age. And remember — retinoids aren't just for a few select areas of the face. As you'll see from the products below, retinoids can be beneficial even in the eye area. "Studies have shown that people who apply retinoids right up to the eyes get the best results," Weiss said. A second wrote: "Amazing product for anti-aging, left eyes smooth & bright. Less wrinkles for sure" and a third added: "This is amazing from first use I noticed a difference I only use it every other night but gets my vote." The full product description reads: "Olay Pro-Retinol eye treatment is our best wrinkle-fighting technology with Pro-Retinol and pent peptides. It smooths the look of even deep wrinkles."

The difference under my eyes is amazing. Dark Circles have dramatically reduced. My eyes look brighter, more awake, which is incrediable considering what they looked like!

She is also a Clinical Instructor of Dermatology at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University and specializes in both medical and cosmetic dermatology. Microencapsulated retinol in this formula helps to fight fine lines and wrinkles, but it’s the other ingredients that make it an A.M. go-to. Namely, three kinds of hyaluronic acid that hydrate and plump fine lines (and also make this blend extra soothing, notes King), plus finely milled pearl extract that delivers a subtle luminosity. The two combined help create the ideal base over which to apply foundation and concealer, helping you appear bright-eyed and wide-awake. Like we said, just make sure you’re wearing an SPF 30+ sunscreen anytime you use any retinoid during the day—doubly important in the summer. You also can’t apply it to the eyelids, so just be careful when applying it.
