The video is not about how to apply retinol around eyes but just saying we cannot apply it there.
Basically lol.
@@Who-Dunnit I will still apply since that is the thinnest area and I need to make it thicker:D
@@ainakunigelyte u will get dry eyes. I'm telling u its not worth it
@@fleas.8624
How about Retin-a for the forehead.
Is that dangerous?
Thanks.
Apply the retinol around the eyes and then moisturizer after. No problem.
An ophthalmo talking about dermato and demonstrating it??? *YEEEEES!!!!!* That is the crossover we need. Isolating disciplines leads to nowhere. Overlaping them gives us a prismatic perspective. *THANK YOU* 🙌🏻🧛🏻♀️🖤
Very informative. As someone with dry eyes, I thank you for the warning!
Thank you so much for spreading this information and providing this video!! On my horrible dry eye journey I have become quite the intensive researcher and I really appreciate you supporting your info with research and sharing it with everyone!
Thank you so much for this video. It terrified me in a good way. Have started a retinol regimen and bought a retinal eye cream as well. I’ve been putting it under my eyes and around my lids. My eyes started to dry out to the point where I could hear myself blink😳.! Thank goodness I have only applied eye cream for a few days-then I found your video today. So crazy they market retinal eye cream when the risks are so high. Incredibly grateful! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🥰
You’re welcome!!! I can’t believe it either. I’m so glad you found out so early, I hope your symptoms will turn around after stopping retinol!
2 days here! I'm laying down listening to my eyes blink too lmao. I don't remember hearing them before... wow
Sad...But at the same time, very good to know! 😌
I'm gathering information on retinol use since I plan to start using it in a few months. I was going to build my way up to apply it around the eyes. I guess my journey was cut short! 😅
Gonna look into more of your videos for information about dry eyes, because I actually have it and never gave it a serious thought! 🙈
Retinol destroyed my MG. I used prescription Retin-A for years with wonderful results but with that being said, I ended up destroying my glands and can no longer produce tears. I now wake up with horrible, burning dry eyes, and have to feel my way to the bathroom just to get my drops. there’s plus and minuses to everything folks so heads up. I use Retin-A for years, and now this is what I’m stuck with 😢
use vaseline to apply around ya eyes first ..dont apply retinol around ya eyes .. only cheecks and upper forehead
So sad me too 😢
I used retinol 2 days ago around My eyes and been having terrible uncomfortable dry eyes. Even ran to the store to get lubricating eye drops. Then I found this video tonight. I guess I'll stop rubbing retinol around my eyes I see what was causing them to dry out. Thanks for the information
did your eye return to normal after stopping?
@@dustindustindontworry-jz8dh I am not sure whether it was sarcasm or your desperate attempt of seeking attention with some futile comment but dry eyes is not the same as vision loss . I suggest refraining from commenting if you lack knowledge
@ns658: I use retinol 2-3 hours after I’ve moisturized. You want to apply it to ‘dry skin.’ My friend is a dermatologist & she shared this beauty tip. I’m very careful about putting retinol around my eyes. I’d say use a retinol that isn’t very strong and apply once every few nights. There are some retinols that specifically state for the eye area. I have yet to put any products on my eyelids but I hear Olay has a cream & gel for the eye area and one can put it on the eyelids. I haven’t tried that yet.
Thank you for the video, very useful
Hello doc!! Thanks for the nice info!! What about vitamin E??? Can we use it around eyes??
Thank you so much for this video. Does applying only twice a week (avoiding the eye area) can limit the risk of dry eye ? Thankssss
Thx for sharing Doc!!
Hi Dr, thank you for the video, I do have dry eyes but way back since I was a teenager. Only started using tretinoin this year at age 47. This topic has been very interesting to me. May I know which research is Dr Sullivan referring to? Thank you.
Anything I put near my eyes "migrates" and gets in my eyes. I would never put vaseline or anything oily or that won't evaporate near my eyes. Thanks for the info!
First of all, thank you so much for the informative info!!! ❤ Is Bakuchiol ok to apply around the eyes? Thanks in advance!! 😊
I love your example of the sleep mask to illustrate where not to apply retinols! 🙃😍
Thank you so much! It was very helpful. I wish more eye doctors/technicians know about this! My lasik consultant did not believe it.... anyways what about an ointment for dry eyes that has vitamin A? It is vita A so.. it's retinol... is it a false advertisement?
Is the nobleman retinol eye serum good/safe for you?
Wow found my problem. thank you so much
What about eye creams that have RetinAl in them? For instance, the Beauty of Joseon one or Medik8 just came out with their Crystal Retinal Eye Cream which I’m very interested in since I have loved their regular Crystal Retinal for years and even used it in low concentrations around the eye area already with no issues.
What about Skin Better Alpha Ret. Guess not good near eyes either? I have to put ointment in my eyes because of dry eye damage so I quit Retin A and my skin really shows it. I can’t see that ointment being a barrier cream/ if the Retin a hot in it-ouch. I am also supposed to use press and seal to shut my eyes at night because they don’t shut all the way and causes dry eye areas. I’m afraid even with the ointment the Retin A could travel up under the Press snd Seal
Is it true that retinaldehyde does not cause the same MGD problems as retinol? Some companies are marketing products using this pitch.
❤❤❤ u for this content !!!!!!! EXPLAINS why I started having “ Dry Eyes “ ( excessive tears dropping ) MY RETINOL ( WOW you’re THE BEST foe this video … THANKS 🙏🏼
Can we use peptide around the eyes? If so, that would be a good replacement of retinol.
I use retinol (adapelen cream .1%) and I've mostly tried to avoid the eyelids when applying, but I might have applied there sometimes without noticing. I have dry eyes, but also suffered from it after LASIk surgery, it's just that around 6 months after starting with retinol it has become worse.
Is it likely that the cause of the worsening of symptoms is the retinol? I have my doubts since I've never felt any burning or irritation anywhere on my face or around the eyes.
@Eye School with Dr. D: Is there a strong connection between Dry Eye and eye floaters? I've been getting floaters and was wondering if my nightly retinol cream is creating floaters. Thank you!
Thank you for addressing this! I don't have too much trouble with the dry eye but I feel like retinol is actually making my vision worse. Have you found this is an issue also? Can it damage vision? Is it permanent? Thank you!
I suffered from severe dry eyes from using it I have no idea it can damage the Mybomian Glands. How sad
@@elisabethfagela6588 same problem
I have the same problem
Hi Doc, i’ve read that Vitamin C interferes with melanin production. Does this also apply to the one contained in the beard follicles for example, making it turn white sooner? And what about retinol? It does the same? I already have some whites and i’m worried. Thank you!
i have been wondering about this. For the past year or so, my eyes have become increasingly dry and irritated. I started retinol around my eyes during this time. I will be returning the ROC retinol eye cream i just purchased. Wrinkles aren't ideal, but my eye sight is more important. Thanks for spreading the word.
Do you have any thoughts on Vit C around the eyes?
Good question about vitamin C. I’m curious as well now
What are some SPFs you recommend for around the eyes? The only one that's worked for me is australian gold mineral tinted SPF 50, I don't use it on my face cause the tint stains my clothes. I'm assuming mineral is best, but most sunscreens say to not put close or in contact with eyes, how else am I supposed to protect them when already wearing sunglasses and a hat?
I actually made a video all about UV exposure! czcams.com/video/5rET_rMVAKg/video.html
YES! you have to give up Retinal completely. I am living proof it gave me severe dry eye over 3 years of use. I used a Retin-A prescription for the same amount of time I developed dry eye. I had no clue it was doing this to me. At first I slapped it on my face and very subtly over time I "developed" sensitive eyes to my eye cream, then my face cream the everything starting with red eye's and burning an hr or so after applying my creams. I NEVER ever put retin-A around my eyes. Then I started to read in the last 6 months about the correlation between the two, even tho you carefully avoid your eyes or even use vaseline it can't help but move up to your eyes, it get's on your pillow while you sleep and then you turn and it rub's into your eyes. Also it goes into your system as It can cause birth defects. Over time my lid margin became thick on the bottom and top so much that if I wanted to wear eyeliner I would have a white line under my eyelashes because it was so swollen. I had to give up makeup completely. I had extensive dry eye appointments with lipi flow and I am on Xiidra and heat with no reason why you just have dry eye ((( 2 weeks ago I decided for 1 month to stop using the Retin-A and see if my eyes get better, well it's made a huge difference!! the lid margin is so much thinner. My eyes are not red and they barely burn. I wish the eye doctor would have told me to stop Retin-A just to be on the safe side. I hope this helps someone at least think twice about using it at all if you have dry eye. This has been a nightmare for me.
this whole retinol, retinal, retinoid acid connection to MGD and dry eye is just now starting to be understood to be a problem by doctors. I'm so glad you found out when you did and are starting to feel a bit better!
Thank you for this helpful information. I started Retinal a month ago and have noticed my eye water line looks a bit red after using it and I don’t even go near my eyes. I thought maybe I could just do it on the sides of my cheeks but after reading your experience it’s helped me make the decision to stop…as I have sensitive eyes to start with. I was so excited to use Retina but I would rather have wrinkles than eye problems. I hope your eyes are getting better. Thanks
@@27kjh Hey there, My eyes are doing awesome but I think mostly because of IPL, Nulids, my i-tear devise and a few tricks. I have also stopped retin-A at night (will never do that) but I apply short contact for 1 hr 3x a week and it's working great, I see a difference. I wash then apply pea size amount all over avoiding eyes of course then I go off and watch TV or read, I put nothing on top because it is being washed off in an hr. Then I wash off and put my moisturizer on and I am going to stay with that because I think it really works. There are some studies saying you get almost the same benefit as leaving on all night )))) I don't think honestly the Retin-A caused it I think I had dry eyes and the Retin-A made it WORSE. Try the short contact for a week and see how you feel. Hope you eye's feel better and thank you for chatting with me. Oh and I did realize that I was touching my eyes CONSTANTLY all day without knowing it. I have lotion on my hands constantly, I touch my face with cream, makeup etc constantly and then because my eyes are always hurting I am trying to massage my lids to make more water/oil so I was transferring (including retin-a probably) to my eyes. I stopped that and I really think that has helped tremendously.
Your really awesome taking the time to reply with some more helpful information. I’m going to try using the Retina as you explained now and see how it goes. It makes me happy that I might be able to continue without bothering my eyes…fingers crossed. I’ve had problems with my eyes for years and just lately I’ve been able to get a handle on it…so it scared me to see the redness starting. I’m also going to look into the other things you mentioned you do for your eyes. It’s cool to know there are things out there that may help other than drops. I’m glad your eyes are doing good because eye problems are so uncomfortable and concerning.
@@27kjh Keep in touch and fill me in if all goes well. The IPL was the most amazing thing I have done for my dry eyes.
Dr please guide I am using ordinary retinol 0.2 from last week but I am getting eyes irritation though I applied vaseline around it.plses suggest should I continue or stop using it.
Thank you!
Hello Dr. D! What about bakuchoil on the occular area?
Before i knew this I used retinol for a couples weeks. After just such a short time my dry eye got 10x worse. Ive completely stopped using make up and skin care products around my eyes. Only lid wipes, spf, and Vaseline 😣
Did your eye dryness improve?
hi doctor! are chemical sunscreens safe to put around the eyes? i hope you really can answer this question. thank you so much for this informative video
It is unless its with alcohol so it will burn
Can it be applied to nasiolabial folds?
I used ordinary retinol 1% in squalane under eyes and i got wrinkles under my eyes due to it they were never there before it has been 2 months and wrinkles are still there will they ever go away?
THANK YOU! So many derms recommend putting tretinoin in eyelids, so this vid was very helpful
I'm so glad I found this video because I was looking for a reason to never apply my retinol eye cream again.
What can we use instead then around eyes especially crows fee
Use Peter Thomas Roth Peptide 21 serum as eye cream. A great anti-aging alternative to retinol for under eye.
I had been using prescription tretinoin for some time before recently learning of the connection to dry eyes & MGD. I just had a blocked Meibomian gland & previously had meibomian gland problems. Have dealt with dry eyes for years. My doctor never mentioned anything about retinol usage. I have now stopped using it altogether. Will my eyes improve at all in time or have I done permanent damage?
Can you give us an update on if your eyes are any better now?
@Jen Gus how are your eyes now?
Took 6 minutes just to finally say "And if you still really want to put it there, here's how: dont." Thank god for the time stamps. Thanks, CZcams.
Hello, i applied tretinol 0.025% trice on my eye lid, with weeks of gap of using it. My left eye does feel drier and irritated. Is it permamnet damage or will the glands heal on their own ?
Thanks so much
Can patients with extensive vitiligo apply Monobenzone 20% around eyes?
just to clarify, this means I can still put tretinoin on my nasolabial folds right? 😅
What about glycolic acid (which is also often used for anti-aging and to build collagen)? I am careful to apply glycolic acid away from the orbital area but whenever I use it my eyes sting like crazy. Is use of this product damaging my meibomian glands? If not, why is it making my eyes sting so bad when it is nowhere near my eyes? I have also tried using aquafor as a buffer but that doesn't seem to help prevent the burning either.
Interesting. I apply glycolic acid even around my eyes for years and I've never had any issues with it.
Following
Wondering this too does glycolic acid cause dry eye like retinol?
Would this be the same advice you would give for the use of Bakuchiol on the face?? thanks :))
yes.
It took me literally 2 months to get most of the swelling down from regularly applying retinol around my eyes! i just put a barrier of aquaphor inside my orbit like a racoon and then apply the retinol outside of it. it looks goofy, but my eyes have been getting better
Can the damage be permanent? Very worried.
How about vitamin c serum 20% is it safe around the eyes
This is brilliant thank you! I have been using a product by Neutrogena that is a specific Retinol cream for the eye. This is quite shocking now I am aware of the risks. It’s great to hear there is a working group focussing on this as this product could very well be causing real harm to unwitting consumers such as me.
Isn’t it crazy how many products marketed for the eye have retinol derivatives in them? I’m hoping the research starts to influence companies to avoid but I’m not counting on it! Super important to spread the word in the meantime!
Do we know if Bakuchiol has the same effect?
what about retinyl palmitate?
I been using treinon,,, for awhile all over face undereyes , crows feet, the 11 area , and noticed I'm getting dry eye syndrome wonder if the treinon 0.1. Is causing my dry eyes ?
Duh lol
Yes, stop holy shit
I’m just gonna pretend I never seen this video
Hahhahahahahaahaha
I started to use retinol this week on my eyelids and let’s just say that I regret this bc now my eyelids are full of little oils glands
Did your eye return to normal? How did you judge if your eye lids's oil glands are full?
@@YinYanUzumaki yes, it did return to normal :) I noticed there were oils glands on my eyelids bc they look like little skin pimples but using a warm cloth and applying to your eyelids will help so much! :)
@@Jenny-Rubi Tysm !
Could vitamin c around the eyes damage the eye or its glands?
My retina! 👁
I would love to hear your opinion on Osmosis retinaldehyde serums! Osmosis claims that their retinaldehyde serums are fine to use around the eyes and doesn't effect or dry the eyes. I this all retinaldehydes or just theirs?
i'll look into it!
I’m really curious about Osmosis retinaldehyde serums around the eye as well. Was about to purchase
I have used Osmosis 5 years aroud eyes in combination with catalis cs11 and with no irritation and beautiful results
Watching after appyling it all over my face including eyelids.🤣
Thankyou..so much 🙏🏻 i wll take care next time.
Well doc you should know that market if now full of retinols eye cream. If it wasn't supposed to put around eyes why wud dermatologist approved those retinol eye cream
Hello Doc! I just bought olay retinol eye cream but it has not arrived yet. I got worried upon hearing about this. I wish i saw this before buying the eye cream. 😭 thank u for this info. I’m just confused why would they make something like this that has a complete different effect 😕
you can use the same cream in the rest of the face excluding the eye area though,right ? it is still just a moisturiser, Isn't it ?
i used it and it caused flanky dry skin around my eyes... i think it is better to avoid retinol eye cream
Hi
English isn’t my native language, I don’t understand the first healthier alternative starting at 10:55… Can someone tell me what Dr is saying please? eye Pe..? Thank you so much.
IPL, LLLT - low level light therapy, moisturizer, sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses.
IPL treatment by dermatologist only. It's a light therapy and it can also brighten your skin INSTANTLY.
what about sunscreen? can we actually put it around eyes? most of them do burn eye, so we can't use them there anyways. but there are the ones specifically for sensetive eyes, can we use them?
my eyes are pretty sensitive but cetaphil sheer mineral face liquid sunscreen spf 50 works well. Does not migrate into my eyes under normal conditions.
How about this for a hack. Apply retinol to the 11s BUT cover it with "Frownies" tape afterwards. Then you can still use it, and it won't migrate to the orbital bone.
Oooh creative!
Does the retinol serum not drying?! Can it still move if it’s dry
I've been using retinol serum for many years until my eyes felt increasingly dry. Eye drops didn't help at all. I suspected that it was the retinol so I stopped using it and my eyes felt so much better.. shame, I love retinol but the dry eyes are torturous
I used tretinoin for only two weeks got the worst sand paper eyes. Stopped now 1 week and they have not improved. Visit to doc today and they told me I have severe dry eyes but glands don’t show damage.
Does this mean they just don’t show signs yet of damage and I still could have damaged them or that they are fine and my eyes will improve?
To anyone thinking of getting any of these products close to your eyes, it’s not worth it.
Note: I stayed far away from eyes but it probably migrated. 😢
I've been using Beauty of Joseon Retinal 2% and ginseng eye serum for around 8 months, and I didn't connect it but I do have dry eyes and it's something new :( I didn't have them, I thought it was the dry climate! So sad, I love that serum TToTT
I wished I read this comment prior to trying the same eye cream. Now I have dry eyes :( Will stop using it asap
I bought retinol by for my eye area 😭
What eye creams do you recommend? Can you share?
Got you! czcams.com/video/N0QqGig5HLQ/video.html 😍 😍
You mesn Tretnoin in this video or Retinol..?
Young lady you are beautiful. As you get older you are going to want to keep that feature and it won't be as easy as you think it will be when you are young.. It will be hard to do if you don't find a substitute for retinol that works as well.. When you do..I hope you let us know.
bakuchiol is an option unfortunately theres no research around bakuchiol and the eye. but yes, certainly i will keep you informed!
What about rose hip seed oil since it has naturally occurring vitamin a?
Things like rose hip and even Shea butter are on my caution list…there’s not enough evidence to really say.
@@EyeSchoolwithDrD oh no I use shea butter all the time 😮 definitely gonna stop now
I searched so hard for an eye cream without phenoxyethanol, alcohols, parabens, retinol, butylene glycol, anything comedogenic, etc. NOW I'm being informed that rosehip oil is also an ingredient to avoid 💔 does such a product even exist???? What should one use as a safe moisturizer around flaky, eyelids?
I just read that pure rosehip oil has the equivalent retinol strength of 0.00003923% tretinoin. For the sake of doing my best to avoid bad ingredients for the eyes, I'm going to consider my current eye cream, 100% pure Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream, my safest option on the market. Especially if we take into consideration how the product is not PURE rosehip oil, but rather, mixed in and diluted with other seemingly harmless ingredients. It's practically impossible to avoid ALL of these bad ingredients.
@@gissellesainz7704 I use vanicream around my eyes. It has the least ingredients.
Applying retinoid religiously around my eyes for almost 8 years, it causing me dry eyes, too late 😢😅
Frequent use of Retinol cream gave me brown (sun?) spots 😒
you have to be super vigilant with spf if you use retinol otherwise you just end up getting more sundamage
@@sandrasorensen8718 It just happened in November after increasing use from 3 times per week to 6. Luckily the spots are small, one already disappeared after applying licorice root tea extract and discontinuing use of oral vitamin A supplements and the cream.
They should come with a warning so low lQ people don't damage their skin. But then the beauty industry will sell less 'dark spot correctors' bs and lose profit.
I used tretinoin at a ratio of 0.5, and I did not know how to use it. I put it all over my face, even in my eyes, and it caused me dryness in the eyes and mouth... The question is, did it cause permanent damage to my meibomaine gland?
Has it gotten better?
@@qwertyqwertyqwerty4324
Yes now iam better
Can I apply retinol on my nose? Will it be too close to the eye?
i'd stay away from the bridge and use as little as possible
You're doing it wrong, it may be the theme of my life
Is it safe to use peptides around the eyes?
Peptides totally safe. They are great anti-aging alternatives to retinol for eye contour area.
@@wisdomelves5838 what do u suggest
Can’t you just create a barrier around your glands with a layer of Vaseline so that the retinol can’t migrate to your eyes?
Does watching video lectures at 1.75x or 2x speed harm the nerves of the eye in long term?
Retinoids in the basic form, not encapsulated, is impactful for *one hour*. It can be washed off before sleeping and tossing and turning so no migration. Why wasn’t this covered?? What am I missing? Other than that most people don’t want to rinse the skincare off. Contact therapy method.
So you only have to put retinol on for an hour at night and then wash it off and go to bed? Is that what you are saying?🤔
@@lucakat9262 I put some specifics in my post that you can use to look into it. Mostly its down side is that people may wash again with something harsh but it’s not needed. Wash off and apply the evening routine. It can be hard for people to want do this but I don’t think it’s much different from masking. My point above was that if retinoids are so bad for the eyes due to migration during sleep this could have been offered as a compromise to still allow for anti aging and good eye health.
So are retinol eye creams ok or should you stay away? I’m looking for an eye cream that won’t cause milia and keep seeing that one with retinol will be best but now I’m unsure, what do you think?
I'm curious about this, too
Me too. My eye cream is Skin Medica TNS and think it has retinol one it
The whole point of the video was that she thinks you should avoid retionls close to the eyes because they can cause dry eye.
I feel like the person who edited this video didn't do a very good job lol, should have cut out several of the pauses qhere she didn't know what to say next
So our eyes are going to age but the rest of our face will look great? I'll have saggy bags for eyes but youthful skin 🤣
That’s what I thought too 😭🤣
thanks for saving me $115 on eye cream
I have really hooded eyes🙈😛😂..and of course with age they are getting droppier..Any one with feedback about this would be great💖💖.I don't know if retinol would help at all to tighten if I use on the lids for this reason !! Take Care All..xoxo💋💋💋💋

Too bad 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Me watching this and been applying 0'5 tretinoin around my eyes for about two years: 🤡
It can cause dry eyes and reduce tear production. If your not specifically using a retinol eye cream, put smth like Vaseline around your eyes and then the retinol.
your doing it wrong. lol
There’s eye drops. Not stopping tretinoin 😀
Trust me, you DO NOT want to deal with dry eyes. Mine started the last week in December 2021 and I have been in incredible pain and my eyes won't focus anymore. I can't handle light and I hate , hate HATE digital screens (And I'm a graphic designer....) I now have debilitating migraines, neck and shoulder spasms as well and this ordeal is costing me a truck load of money. Eye drops alone don't bring enough relief. Make wise choices. (I've only been using Retin-A since June 2020).
@@renevanderwesthuizen1520 Could you give us an update of how your eyes are doing ? Did you stop Retin A altogether ? Also is there any kind of help you are getting for your dry eyes?
I have had problem of having to blinking as mmy eye muscles have always been weak and i am wondering if I am mre prone to dry eye and what signs i need to look out for since i have been on tret for 2 months now
@@YinYanUzumaki hello! My eyes are actually so much better now. I can't believe it. I'm following advice that somebody else posted here about putting the cream on for an hour and then washing it off. But I have been doing many other things. So I am not sure how big of a role the Retin-A played in my situation. I'm taking in a lot of healthy oils. Doing intermittent fasting. Getting sunlight. Walking barefoot on grass even. Haha. Giving my body more vitamin A (I have been scared of getting too much vitamin A because of the retin a. I don't think one should even take supplements for example when using the cream) BUT I'm no expert, just repeating what I heard online and maybe this is part of my problem, because I was scared of eating too much vitamin A. I also got a humidifier. I have been taking a whole range of different supplements. And... I have to add - I have so so many people praying for me 🙏🏻🙏🏻and my eyes. But I am amazed at how much better my eyes are feeling. So yes, I have down scaled on the Retin-A as well. Dry eyes is a horrible thing and I am pulling out ALL THE GUNS to make it better! (this also includes eye drops and a hot compress). Although I am using less and less eye drops!
@@renevanderwesthuizen1520 you sound like you have everything under control ! It’s wonderful to hear .
Healthy oils are such an important part . I have been prescribed some medicated ghee ( for migraines ) and I observed that it helped with my eye dryness and over all dryness also in the body ( like feet ). I had an Ayurvedic check up where they read my nadi ( energy channels in the body ) and said my body is not producing enough bile but it also seems that it will be a long battle for me but I am hopeful . Good luck in your journey to healthier skin and eyes 😊
@@YinYanUzumaki you're so kind. Thank you. I have been wondering a lot if my body makes enough bile. But I have overloaded myself with healthy fats the past month. Even added some collagen supplements as well (seeing that it contributes to the health of our eyes). My dry eyes really feels less severe. But it still gets tired by the end of the day. Good luck with your journey as well. May your eyes improve dramatically and also, remember not to get the Retin-A close to your eyes! All the best! Xx
Thank you for sharing, but your video is toooooo long just to explain how to apply Retinol under your eyes. I couldn't finish watching. 🤦♀
lol i get it. i've gotten more succinct in recent videos. :)

Ok Thanks, I was looking for a quick answer. I bought a Mara Algae Retinol oil and I was wondering if I could use it as an eye cream too. 🙋🏻♀️☺️
@@Angela_1106 i avoid retinol in the eye area in general, just too much of a risk to the meibomian glands. but ok to use outside of where a eye mask would fall. forehead, cheeks, etc.

Thanks Dr I gave you a like 👍🏼 and subscribed to your channel. I wear glasses too. I have Miopía and Astigmatism in one eye. Health is first. We are going to get older and wrinkles anyway. I won’t take the risk of Retinol on my eyes, but I will use it on my checks and forehead. I live in Miami Beach Fl and the Sun ☀️ is giving me a lot of freckles. I just want them less noticeable.
Thank you 🙏🏻 Dr .
