Can Retinoids Cause Wrinkles Around the Eyes?

I think I know what’s going on- hope this helps but always see your dermatologist for advice 🤙
Step 1: at bedtime apply a layer of petrolatum ointment or La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm over the eyelids
Step 2: apply a pea sized amount of retinoid to the entire face
Step 3: add a moisturizer over your retinoid!

  1. Was using skin functional retinol moisturiser after 2 days my skin is red and has fine lines and look more puffy and darker under around eye area.. should I use any one aquaphor or cerave ointment and cerave intensive moisturiser and hydrating cleanser cerave.. can I use cerave eye repair cream as well also can I use cerve facial moisturiser lotion pm on skin around under eye area

  2. Thank you for this. I got Bad wrinkles from the Beauty of jeosun retinal eyecreams, even tho I did The Sandwich Method. Im done with it.

  3. Yes, same here, but I keep using a retinoid because everybody says that you should be using them. I have Scottish – Gaelic, English ancestry and at 64 probably look more like I’m 49. I’ve always had people stop me and ask me what do I do to my skin and the true answer is I’ve always just kept it moisturized and I stay out of the sun, because I don’t tan. If there’s something to this, that retinoids cause wrinkles in the eye area, I will gladly stop using them.
