If your product contains at least one of these ingredients, you’re on the right track. Fine lines and wrinkles can be reduced and prevented with ingredients ranging from potentially irritating retinol (vitamin A) to non-irritating peptides and antioxidants, but you must be patient. “Long-lasting results can often take two to six months to show,” Waldorf says. The good news? “You should see improvement from better moisturization within a few days.”
If you’re not pregnant, aim for a gentle retinol product in cream form, like RoC Retinol Correxion Eye Cream, $21.99). “Sensitive eyelid skin may require a lower concentration of retinol than that which is used in a full-face product and a more moist base (cream vs. lotion) to avoid irritation,” says dermatologist Dr. Heidi Waldorf.

Also effective are peptides, which have been shown to decrease skin roughness and reduce the appearance of wrinkles without irritating skin (try Skinceuticals Eye Cream, $64, or Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum, $18.99), and antioxidants. (Look for ingredients like coffeeberry in Revaleskin Night Cream, $99, kinetin in Kinerase Intensive Eye Cream, $59, and shiitake mushroom complex in Aveeno Active Naturals Positively Ageless Eye Serum, $19.99.)

One thing weird is that I cannot have both dark circles and dryness in one answer, which means I have to do the questionaire twice to get answers for both of my concerns. Not that it bothered me alot though.

Hm, now I think I should start using back my Avon Eye Perfector With Peptides! Tee hee! I neglected it due to a new found love!

Shall review that eye cream soon!
