Under Eye Fine Lines Hack  

Girrrllll dont tell me that! I will be 35 omg i cant believe just a few years ago we were in school!!!! Listening to CDs and now we are into skin care!!!! Take vitamins! Good skin care regimen and ya know.... no smoking n o no drinking

Haha nice, girls❤❤ I'm in my 20s and scared that I got fine lines on my lower eyelid ​@@Ari-ge5cp

She also has a website!

I'm 38 and I never noticed any fine lines/ wrinkles until right after 35. My skin and hair is also much more dry. I wake up almost every morning with white, dry, crusty, cracky skin in my face, especially all around my mouth area(not my lips), regardless of what I put on my skin before bed. I hate the dryness!

My 42-year old skin has improved so much in the past 3 years because of her. Start with her oldest youtube videos, they are proper skin classes 😉 People think I'm 10 years younger 😎😎😎

Also 😅 How can the retinal penetrate the skin at all? If there's a thick greasy barrier blocker of Vaseline.

Weleda is actually a New Zealand company 😊

@@Samantha-xr4mx Check out the companys history, it's not from New Zealand even though it has branches there.

Thats what I was wondering

The lady’s a dermatologist - I think she knows her stuff lol 😜

Because it can be really irritating. Layering it with the vaseline makes it less harsh and decreases the likelihood of irritation or flaking. It will still get absorbed but more slowly

Hyaluronic acid serum is also used as a buffer most people put the hyaluronic acid serum on first then a retinol so it's less irritating

Exactly 😅

In South Africa this retinol is 0.1%, very interesting 😅

Some can’t use hyaluronic acid with a retinol because combined they irritate the skin. The Vaseline is a better option for those people.

I learnt this the hard way. Now I use castor oil with frankincense

@@RachelReaiah that sounds like a recipe for milia AND allergy.

Only if ur prone and do it wrong. For me, i started in high school cuz vaseline is cheap and have been using it ever since. At 28 im still using it. Ever had milia. Occasionally i use it all over my face like twice a month. Daily on my lips. It works perfectly. Now im putting it before my retinol like she is instead of at the end.

@@elin_ for me, the vaseline gave me milia. Had like 4 or 5 under each eye. Popped them with a tweezer (dont do this please). The castor oil and frankincense didn't give me milia. Have been using it for months now

​@@ivvie1452some people say to put the Vaseline first and face creams after and don't ppl say to put face creams first, Vaseline after, then retinol last. How do we know which is right?! Lol❤

Why is no one answering?? I too must know!

If you have a mild retinol or retinal eye cream it should be fine to apply on the brow bone below the brows. Not too far down though since the product will migrate a bit.. I'd you apply too far down it will get into your eyes and make them dry.

she explained it in a video it is not recommended to use it on eyelid please do not

Don’t use it on your eye lids. It made mine puffy and now it’s taking forever to go away

Top half I always put my products I just avoid the bottom part above the lash line xx

Good question 👍

Retinoids are just that strong on the eye area. Especially if you're not used to it. I tried with a gentle retinaldehyde and still got eczema so I'm definitely going to try this method when my skin recovers

The point is to create a barrier. It will still have an effect, but the barrier will soften the harshness for the most delicate skin.

I don't think it will work. Vaseline is a really good skin protectant. I would rather use a weak retinol and slowly ease in and see how my skin reacts and adjust accordingly. I am now able to tolerate tretinoin around the eye area.but that is me.

@@mdml0 Exactly. I use a retinol specifically for the eye area and tretinoin 0.05 on the rest of my face.

No it's not. It's just a lot cheaper. You use shea butter instead of vaseline.

Me too

Because not all people can apply any retinol product directly, even product specifically identified as being for the under eye area!

Thanks, I was having the issues you describe at the beginning and now I put the tiniest bit with a lot of moisturizer. Will mix it up with your suggestion too!

Thank you SO much for this! I started using .05 tretinoin on me eyes and by the 4th day it seemed like I would have to consider an eye lift quite frankly. I couldn’t believe how crepey and dry my skin became. I started using a VERY high fatty acid oil I brought back from the Amazon and it’s been working to correct the dryness like nothing else. Grateful to have stumbled across your comment, gives me reassurance to just keep doing what I’m doing. ❤

@@heyangie123is it working or do you need to moisturize as buffer first or use retinol less?

I hate when they do this. It makes no sense. The vaseline should be applied last.

​@@The_Black_Anarchist Exactly, it's an occlusive, it should be the last step on any routine.

Its applied to form a barrier as retinol is irritating on this area

@@user-lh6vr6vs4h If if is so irritating, she should use a lower strength or switch to retinol. Use a barrier means that it's not being absorbed into the skin. It's a waste of money.

No bc retinol disolves in lipids (like Vaseline) making easier to absorb, but it also acts like a buffer, making retinol less harsher

It could find its way into your eyes, I guess.

Apply a small amount below the eyebrows.. the product will migrate down a little bit. But avoid the eyelids.

Retinols treat milia

Try beauty of joseon retinal eye cream

I always wonder - why people buy this over the Ordinary 's retinol? Also loreal contains alcohol as a second ingredients which is very drying..why is this serum your choice?

Because it is petroleum and shouldn't be on your skin. I would never listen to this woman about this. PETROLEUM is what runs gas engines, not on my skin.

Try looking into milia. Some people get that under the eyes under certain conditions. There's a lot of factors that come into play with the causes of milia and don't just do research about it on the popular Google sites since those can be misleading

@@ZakManga I'm familiar, had one milia, which I went to a medspa to fix. There's no white center after vaseline it's just slightly inflamed rash looking. Goes away in less than three days of discontinuing vaseline. Vaseline is not formulated for under eye. The skin is more sensitive and thinner. I do use it to block chemical exfoliants from going where I don't want, as chapstick and in my nose during the winter though to prevent cracking from the dryness. Vaseline as an eye cream is generally bad advice. RU-vid "Drs" need to stop "helping" people with this wisdom. When I want to "slug" I use cocokinds ceramide recovery balm and it does not do anything negative to my face including under-eye. I have combination acne prone skin and a lot of her advice would make my acne worse. I've gone to derm, estheticians, general doctors, and diy'd and in my many decades of acne the practitioner to help me the most was of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She forebade me from exfoliating and had me do a simple wash and moisturizer routine. Now that my acne and bowel movements are under control she's allowed me one discolouration serum to my routine. And I'm not to change the routine until all pigment is gone. Then we'll address texture.

@@alysafleisheri mean ive been putting Vaseline on my face since 13 never had a pimple

@@alysafleisher no it’s not. Petrolatum ( a petroleum byproduct, as in Vaseline or Petroleum Jelly) ≠ Petroleum. There’s also the fact that scientific research indicates that petroleum jelly is one of the safest, most effective and affordable ingredient in skincare, bc it has a low potential to be irritating. Ofc it’s not suitable for everyone, as most things aren’t, but spreading misinformation ab it isn’t very productive.

Right ! Same problem . It’s so frustrating.

It may not effect it now, but it can damage the sensitive thin skin of the eyelids with longterm use.

It could make your eyes very dry definitely 😢

I put it below the eyebrows.. but not eyelids

Bc it is absorbed into eyeballs

@@grainiac7824 no it's not. It travels a bit, and that's why you shouldn't put it too close to the eye.

@elin_ I do this as well. Even with the ones that say safe for entire eyelids. I was just curious of her take on it.

If you don’t experience inflammation, redness, bumps etc, means your skin handles it perfectly and you don’t need a buffer. Everyone’s skin is so different. If it works without irritation, keep it up

@@angieangelopoulou1196 Seems to make sense, thanks! I do buffer before I put on A313 for sure.

@@siren4410 whatever makes your skin happy!

​​@@siren4410came here to say that :) I alternate A313 and retinol. My skin loves the A313 without buffer. My skin heals so much faster in case of inflammation. Also I sometimes mix my retinol and A313.

What damage? Retinoids don’t cause damage to the skin tissue🤷🏻‍♀️

@@angieangelopoulou1196 They cause redness and peeling for some people

@@DallasNatureLover Jessica said she doesn’t come across any kind of problem, which means it works for her. So no damage here.

Eye lids are very thin and the vitamin A gets absorbed into the skin. It’s a very astute question to wonder if it can and does get absorbed by the eyes and if that can cause issues. I would love for this to be addressed.

Also which retinol cream do you prefer? The beauty of josen one is great you say?

Burning and that skin is super thin!

You can end up doing more damage than good, the area is really sensitive and doesn’t need too much

Oh stop it

I am guessing it can penetrate into your eye since it’s such a thin skin layer.

From my personal experience, it made my eyes extremely dry as well!

Made mine puffy. In a different video she said it would make them swell and it did

Yeah actually as someone who’s eyelids hates them (I get a swollen eye a lot ..contact wearing? Allergies? CNS I dunno 😂) I kinda wonder what to do to protect what we got there. I know if you put retinol on the eyelids isss no beuno

Why? I didn’t know an put a little bit often…@@kittykat831

I've never got that upper/lower eyelid thing. To me, those are eyelids. I use the same thing I use on my entire face, on both of them.

I have this problem, red, swollen, irritated upper eyelids, I use Avene AD balm or LaRoche Posay B5 balm or Aveeno restorative cream, any formula that recovers skin barrier will do

Retinol *is* the lowest form of Tretinoin.

And if you’re having issues like that, use an occlusive ointment or moisturizer BEFORE putting on your tret, then put the tret on, then put another layer of thick moisturizer on. This will usually help mitigate any problems like that.. unless you’re truly “allergic”, then I wouldn’t even mess with retinol either until you consult with a dermatologist and figure out what you *can* use around your eyes.

Yes

Hi. She said the Vaseline was used as a "buffer" before the Loreal retinol was applied underneath her eyes. So the Vaseline was used before the retinol. I didn't see where she also used tretinoin.

@@EmorettaRobinson Thank you for your reply. Shereen said in this video she applied the Vaseline + retinol combination after her night time routine. From watching most of her RU-vid videos she often (not all the time) uses a tretinoin prescription in her night time routine. That's why I'm wondering in this video did she skip using the tretinoin and apply the L'Oréal retinol instead. The short style videos are very handy but sometimes things can be lost in translation in them so just wondering 🤓🤓

She just means do what do you and when you are done do this for your eyes.

This video is for sensitive skin. So she’s not saying this is her routine. It’s a night time routine for people with sensitive skin.

@@moxylady007 no it’s not lol

Wonder this too

Yeah me over here like 😬 I used the verses retinol eye balm - kind of a natural buffer - and I put on my lids! How am I supposed to build collagen and get tight eye lids if I can use the holy grail on my eye lids?

@@moxylady007 i have never ever heard that you shouldnt so im thinking its bs

I mean. The video is for people with sensitive skin. So she’s not showing her tret use etc so it makes sense she wouldn’t put it on her eye lids as again this is aimed at people with sensitive skin and eyelids are super delicate.

Retinol can cause eye irritation and damage the meibomian glands causing dry eye disease. If you put retinol on your lids it increases the chance it can get into your eyes especially if you move in your sleep.

I use a little of both because they do different things and it’s changed for the better so much!

Use it less times per week And moisturize more. Or stop use and let your skin heal then start it again less frequently The wrinkles it caused on me still haven’t gone away after a week so I’m stopping

What happened?

Omg what happened??

I was stupid enough to put eye cream with retinol on eye lids and they just got irritated as hell .

@@AlitaMee I keep wondering if my stuff is not strong enough. I use trentinon in get form, prior to watching these videos. I use it with vitamin c, even my top eyelids and my skin has not been irritated or flaky. Am I doing something wrong? And is the skin irritation the only reason pple don’t use on top lid?

@@PA-qn9jl I would not experiment with tret on upper eye lid or anywhere near eyes because if irritation occurs for me as skin of color I am looking at huge discoloration
