What the gurus are saying

A glycerin base and eye-specific formulation earn this retinol cream praise from dermatologists and skincare experts as a sensible choice for anyone wanting to use retinol around the eyes. The exact retinol concentration is not disclosed on the label, so the strength remains unclear, but the targeted formula is exactly what experts recommend when you are unsure about applying retinol to that sensitive zone.

"The one that's underrated is the LA one with retinol and peptides. It's a very underrated eye cream. It's nothing new but it's been around for a long time and it's very very good. I can think of a lot for irritated eyes because that's a very common problem."

"This is one by La Roche-Posay. They do not tell you the percent of the pure retinol but it's glycerin based and it is specifically formulated for the eyes, so when in doubt buy yourself a Retinol Eye Cream."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Retinoids

Retinoids are among the best studied ingredients in dermatology, with solid evidence for acne and for the fine lines and rough texture that come from sun exposure. Dryness and flaking in the first few weeks are common and usually settle.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
