The Best Retinol Eye Creams And Serums

To target wrinkles and rough texture - by Samantha McMeekin
  • 11 Jun 2020
The Best Retinol Eye Creams And Serums

You’ve probably seen a meme or ten circulating that features the likes of an iconic ‘90s celebrity, which then proceeds to tell you if you know who it is, you should be using an eye cream.

Hilarious, and true.

Our eyes are one of the first places fine lines and wrinkles like to appear, and so it requires attention early.

But you may have also heard that some eye creams are really just, in the words of beauty boss Zoë Foster Blake,  ‘little pots of expensive moisturiser’.

This can also be true.

Hello world, this is me...

However, if you choose an eye cream or serum with an active ingredient, or in this case retinol, you’ll be doing much more than just simply hydrating your crow’s feet.

Retinol often scares first-time users, but starting out with an eye-specific formula is actually an excellent choice. 

As this area is typically more sensitive, retinol eye creams are formulated to be both gentle enough and effective enough to renew the skin’s surface.

The result? A smoother, plumper and youthful-looking eye area.

Dr. Dennis Gross Ferulic + Retinol Triple Correction Eye Serum, $111 at mecca.com.au

This silky eye serum can be used all over the eye, including the eyelids. It uses retinol to tighten and improve skin texture, while the antioxidants found in ferulic acid help to fight free radicals.

olay

OLAY Regenerist Retinol24 Night Eye Cream, $59.99 at priceline.com.au

Gentle enough to use every night, the latest eye cream from Olay contains niacinamide as well as retinol to help rebuild skin firmness.

If you’re looking to tackle dark circles as well as fine lines, this retinol formula does it best. It can also be used in the morning to reduce puffiness, just ensure you follow with SPF.

medik8

This small but mighty serum contains 0.1% retinol, and should be applied just before bed. It’s lightweight and fragrance-free.

first aid

With hyaluronic acid, caffeine and retinol all involved, this eye cream tackles dryness, puffiness and the signs of ageing all at once. Sensitive skin types will also be happy to know it contains aloe vera and oatmeal to soothe.

murad

Murad Resurgence Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Serum, $135 at adorebeauty.com.au

Sometimes one type of retinol just isn’t enough. This powerful pint-sized hero has three: a fast-acting retinoid, time-release retinol, and a retinol booster. Wrinkles don’t stand a chance.
