What they liked

Gentle enough for sensitive eye area

What they flagged

Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

What the gurus are saying

This retinaldehyde eye cream stays non-irritating on the delicate eye area, even when applied liberally around the eyes and across the upper lids, a finding that impressed reviewers given the formula's strength. The 0.1% concentration makes it a heavier-duty option if standard eye creams haven't delivered enough vitamin A support. It ranks as a strong retinaldehyde choice for those seeking proven tolerance around delicate skin.

"I have found with the Aven retinaldehyde, I used a pump bottle of the retinaldehyde eye cream and when I finished it up, I had a full size bottle of the uh retin retinaldehyde 0.1 intensive and I was like, I'm going to go rogue here and just use it under my eyes, around my eyes, to my upper eyelids. And I honestly don't find it to be irritating at all."
