[jennifer07]

Hi,

I was using a new eye serum with retinol in it and it irritated my undereyes, at first i saw redness and now they are flaky. I stopped using the retinol eye cream.  Does anyone recommend any eyecreams that would help with the dryness, it looks bad when i puton concealer.  thank you for your recommendations.

@jennifer07  Drunk Elephant Lala Retro™ Nourishing Whipped Refillable Moisturizer  got me through some tough retinoid times.

Lately I've had some understanding eye dryness and have been using a thin layer of Aquaphor and it really does the job.

Thanks i was thinking of using aquophor, Thank you for the suggestion, All these creams on here looks good but trying to find something more affordable at the moment as im not working. Cetaphil has a couple of good options on amazon.

@jennifer07 , Algenist Triple Algae Eye Renewal Balm Eye Cream #Drunk Elephant Ceramighty™ AF Eye Cream with Ceramides 0.5 oz / 15 mL  Kiehl's Since 1851 Super Multi-Corrective Anti-Aging Eye Cream 0.94 oz / 28 ml  Kiehl's Since 1851 Mini Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado  are all really good choices!

I would try either product from below. They both work very well and don't cause irritation  (of course use a test patch to see how your skin will react). Keeping your under-eyes hydrated will be the key to getting rid of the flakiness, and hyaluronic acid can help with that and the collagen can help strengthen the area.
