Dermatologist Shereene Idriss recommends Matrixyl 3000, a peptide that boosts collagen, for the delicate skin around your eyes. Apply retinoids carefully, avoiding the inner corner, and use a richer moisturizer underneath to buffer irritation.
Matrixil 3000 is one of the most famous peptide complexes in the world for its collagen promoting properties. And the bonus with this is unlike a retinol, you can use this even on your upper eyelids in addition to your lower ones. So if you're creepy all around, perfection. And last, of course, a retinol. You can absolutely use a retinol or even a prescription around your eyes. Just be careful when you go inside your bony part of your eye because the skin gets more sensitive. So I like to buffer the skin there with something thicker and richer before applying the retinol to make sure that the retinol is actually less effective, but you're still getting the benefits long term.
