What the gurus are saying

This eye cream's gentle retinoid (HPR) is designed specifically for the under-eye area, letting people who can't tolerate stronger vitamin A products use one there. Patch testing is essential though, some people do experience redness and flaking when starting, since the under-eye skin is so thin and reactive. If irritation shows up, skip it; that area is too delicate to push through.

"They also have a really nice eye cream that has a very gentle retinoid in it. So that could be good if you like the idea of using a retinoid under your eyes. You don't have sensitive eyes, but maybe you can't tolerate your stronger products there. It also has peptides in it which help promote collagen production."
Yay
"This is my new Holy Grail. This is the DRMTLGY HPR Eye Cream. It's a retinoid, a new retinoid that doesn't need to convert, but it's very gentle. It's close to tretinoin, what they're saying, but it's gentle. It's retinoate. I can't put regular tretinoin under my eyes, I'm using 0.1 and there's no way I can, it gets so dry, it gets creepy. But this really works."

"It's a retinoid, so you always want to patch test. It may cause some redness and irritation and flaking because it's causing those skin cells to rapidly turn over, which can cause some irritation when you first use it. So, I did not experience that, but I have had a couple comments where people have had some irritation when they start using this product. So definitely do your patch test, but if you can tolerate it, this is one of the best products in the entire line, especially for the undereye area, which is so challenging to treat."

DRMTLGY BLACK FRIDAY/CYBER MONDAY: Best New Vitamin A Eye Cream + Top Picks For Over 50 Mature Skin
"Every night for the past month I've been using their new release, this is their HPR hydroxypencolone retinoid, this is a retinoid for the eye area, super exciting new launch. I love this formula. Just use a small dot and it just goes around the eye area. Super gentle formula, such a nice formula for the eye area and a vitamin A for anti-aging. I am so excited about this release. If you haven't been able to tolerate retinol around the eye area, even like in the lower orbital bone area or the marionette lines, give this a try. I would not be hesitant to try this type of formula in your marionette lines, like if you have your prescription vitamin A but you just want to have a little bit in this area because you can't tolerate vitamin A in that area, I'd give this a try. It's made for the eye area but I'd give it a go."
Should You Change Your FALL & WINTER ANTI-AGING SKINCARE ROUTINE?
"I'm going to come in with DRMTLGY HPR Eye Cream, this is one of their newer products and super exciting because HPR, hydropenic colone retinoate, is a vitamin A derivative that you can use around the eye area without any irritation. Now some people may experience irritation but it's designed for the eye area so you don't need to worry about that. I apply this first because it sinks in, it's a more watery formula."
Best Skincare For Mature, Over 50 Skin! (New DRMTLGY Launches & Favorites)
"This is a retinoid product designed for the under eye area to be very gentle, but some of you have reported back to me that this is too sensitizing for your under eye area. The under eye area is very thin like the skin on our neck, super thin, can be super reactive. So if you can't tolerate retinoids in the under eye area, this probably isn't the product for you. My skin, even though it's somewhat sensitive and somewhat reactive, can tolerate this, but having irritated skin, no matter where it is, it's just going to set you back in your skincare goals. So if it's irritating, don't use it. If you want a great anti-aging under eye cream, give this a try. My under eyes are super hydrated, not depuffed as much as I would like, but it just happens to be that I did not sleep well last night."
