5 retinol eye creams to add to your arsenal

Retinol is a powerful anti-aging ingredient that has been shown to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration on your skin, but it's potentially even more important to use it on targeted areas like under the eyes. That's why eye creams containing retinol can be an effective addition to anti-aging skin care routines. Ahead, we've rounded up four of our favorite retinol eye creams to get you started.

Redermic R eye cream with retinol La Roche-Posay

Redermic R Eyes is an intense anti-aging concentrate containing pure retinol, caffeine and La Roche-Posay signature thermal water. This moisturizing combination helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, while the refreshing gel texture helps tighten and cool the under eye area.

L'Oréal Anti-Wrinkle Revitalift + Firming Eye Cream

If you hate waking up with puffy eyes, you might love this eye treatment that firms skin and fights wrinkles. Powerful ingredients like pro-retinol A and a stimulant help skin resist the signs of aging and visibly reduce dark circles.

Pixi Beauty Retinol Eye Cream

This eye cream contains caffeine, peptides and retinol to plump the skin around the eyes and reduce puffiness. Better yet, you can use it as needed during the day as well as at night for maximum results.

Versed Smooth Landing Advanced Retinoid Eye Balm

Instead of pure retinol, Versed Eye Cream uses a granactive retinoid — what the brand calls a less irritating form of retinol — to reduce the appearance of crow's feet. The formula also includes shiitake mushroom extract to strengthen the skin's water barrier, and vitamin E and blackcurrant seed oil to hydrate the delicate under-eye area.
