In GH Beauty Lab testing, this eye cream from dermatologist-recommended brand La Roche-Posay absorbed quickly, reduced the appearance of fine lines, and diminished under-eye puffiness with powerhouse anti-aging ingredient retinol. While the active can sometimes cause redness or irritation, Lab testers didn’t report any issues. “I didn’t really have much faith in eye creams until trying this one — very impressive,” and “The skin around my eyes looks better and feels firmer; my eyes look younger,” two commented. Be sure to only use this at night, then apply sunscreen every morning, since retinol can increase sun sensitivity.
