No7 Pure Retinol Eye Cream 15ml

Product Information

But not all retinol eye creams are created equally, so we tried a number of top-rated formulations. After using them for weeks at a time, our testers rated each formula's texture, skin feel, and how well it diminished the signs of aging around the eyes. We then combined these results with the recommendations of board-certified dermatologists while considering options for a range of budgets, skin types, and concerns. Adding another step or ingredient into your normal skincare regime can be a little off-putting, especially if you’re not sure how your skin might react. That’s where the experts at No7 come in, to bust some myths surrounding retinol. If you’re nervous about using a new ingredient, we’ve got some answers to put your mind at ease.

Even those most skeptical of retinol usage around the eyes sing Pure Retinol Eye Cream’s praising, writing, “I could immediately notice a difference in tightening up my undereye area, and it improved the fine lines around my orbital bone where my side-sleeping has caused permanent wrinkling.” Yes, technically there’s no retinol in this formula but we think it deserves a place on the list because some people truly can’t tolerate retinol at all. Not to mention that it’s a no-no when you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. The next best thing? Bakuchiol is a plant-based ingredient that’s been shown in studies to have almost identical anti-aging effects to retinol but without any side effects. It’s the star of the show in this creamy balm, which also boasts caffeine and algae to tighten, firm, and de-puff. There is also a slew of hydrating ingredients—hyaluronic acid, squalene, ceramides—that help to give this blend its pleasingly rich texture. This is one of the most expensive options on our list, but if retinol really doesn’t work for you, it’s well worth it for the results.

Retinol can often have irritating side effects, including redness and peeling, so it's best to start slow and work your way up. Most experts recommend using a retinol product once or twice a week and slowly increasing the usage as your skin adjusts.At first glance, there’s nothing too complicated about retinol. Technically speaking, retinol is one of several types of retinoids, which are vitamin A derivatives. Practically speaking, retinol works to increase cell turnover and collagen production, smoothing, brightening, and plumping skin — and it really works. In fact, unlike many less-studied ingredients, retinol is one of the most efficacious and proven skin-care ingredients on the market. That’s why, if you’re at all interested in skin care (and maybe even if you’re not!), you’ve probably heard of it. Maybe you’ve even seen a meme about how to know when it’s time for retinol. The cream has been developed to minimise irritation and instantly hydrating tired-looking eyes. Using No7's pure retinol technology, the dermatologically tested cream is specifically designed for the gentle eye area, targeting the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, crow's feet, dark circles, puffiness and uneven skin tone. With continued use, skin looks firmer, brighter, more even and hydrated. Although retinol is amazing for some, it can irritate others, so Dr Hextall recommends avoiding retinol eye creams if you have any inflammatory skin issues around the eye area, such as eczema. Dot around eyes and gently blend around their contours. If sensitivity occurs, reduce use to every other night and build up to nightly use. Microencapsulated retinol in this formula helps to fight fine lines and wrinkles, but it’s the other ingredients that make it an A.M. go-to. Namely, three kinds of hyaluronic acid that hydrate and plump fine lines (and also make this blend extra soothing, notes King), plus finely milled pearl extract that delivers a subtle luminosity. The two combined help create the ideal base over which to apply foundation and concealer, helping you appear bright-eyed and wide-awake. Like we said, just make sure you’re wearing an SPF 30+ sunscreen anytime you use any retinoid during the day—doubly important in the summer. You also can’t apply it to the eyelids, so just be careful when applying it.

Start by applying your retinol skincare every three nights and watch carefully for any signs of irritation. It’s not uncommon to experience some short-lived dryness, peeling, irritation, or redness initially. As the skin builds up tolerance, start to use it every other night. Eventually, when skin is comfortable and well-adjusted to retinol, begin to use retinol skincare every evening. It could take 4 weeks to build to nightly application, but always monitor your skin. When to stop using retinol of women agreed our 0.3% Retinol Night Concentrate gave great results, whilst being gentle on their skin*. Myth-busting Retinol Dr Hextall says that collagen forms our skin's scaffolding, so you want to try and avoid the breakdown of collagen where possible. Why should you use a retinol eye cream? We recommend building up to the suggested usage, as you can then gradually increase the frequency to as much as your skin can tolerate. The best results will be achieved if you use the products in the No7 Pure Retinol range at their suggested frequency, but this might be too much depending on the sensitivity of your skin.
