Olay Pro-Retinol Eye Cream, 15ml

Product Information

Retinyl is a pretty powerful ingredient so I try not to overuse – once at night, applied sparingly and patted in with a ring finger is enough. In the morning, my usual SPF moisturiser and primer are there to protect against any sun-sensitivity caused by the retinyl – another good reason for using at night. 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.

Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication.

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.Formulated with Olay’s best wrinkle-fighting ingredient, Retinyl Propionate.

Not all retinol eye cream formulas are created equal. Here's what to know before buying, according to Dr. Yeh:Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS.

Fine lines are still there but no so deep and highlighted. My skin under my eyes doesn't look so creapy or dry. That being said, the under eye circles haven't been dramatically decreased, still there but this isn't designed for that. This tube will last me a while, even with daily use. It's such good value. The most impressive thing is although it contains retinol there's no extra dryness or irritation. The difference under my eyes is amazing. Dark Circles have dramatically reduced. My eyes look brighter, more awake, which is incrediable considering what they looked like!
