Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
This retinol eye serum earns praise for its brightening power and ability to tackle fine lines and loss of firmness around the eyes. The retinoid is formulated at a lower strength to suit the eye area's delicate skin, though sensitivity is real, some people find the upper lid too reactive and do better applying it only underneath. It's worth patch-testing first if your eye area is easily irritated.
