Every skin lover knows how powerful and effective retinol is, but sometimes, it can be too strong to use around the eyes. “I love Cetaphil’s new Healthy Renew Eye Gel Serum. The formula contains a gentle yet effective retinol alternative to help minimize the look of dark circles, fine lines, and signs of fatigue around the eye area. The lightweight formula also incorporates Vitamins B3 and B5 to help hydrate, soothe, and repair skin’s moisture barrier while botanical extracts help target dullness and uneven skin tone,” says Dr. Engelmen.
Key ingredients: Peptides, vitamin B3, vitamin B5
Best for: Dark circles, fine lines
Amazon rating: 4.3/5 stars
An Amazon reviewer says: “I’ve usually had good experiences with Cetaphil products, so when I found this Hydrating Eye Gel Serum I had to give it a try. I have sensitive and aging skin with more fine lines around my eyes and some puffy, dark circles under eyes. As with other Cetaphil products I’ve used, this continues the trend of being gentle and effective.”
