- 5 Eye Creams With Retinol to Add to Your Arsenal
Retinol is a powerful anti-aging ingredient that’s shown to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and discoloration on your skin — but it’s potentially even more important to use in targeted areas like under the eyes. That’s why eye creams that contain retinol are essential in an anti-aging skin-care routine. Ahead, we rounded up five of our favorite eye creams with retinol to get you started.
Kiehl’s Youth Dose Eye Treatment
Youth Dose by Kiehl’s contains Pro-Retinol, grape seed extract and vitamin C. This multi-powered formula works to smooth, hydrate and brighten the under eye area with continued use.

La Roche-Posay Redermic R Retinol Eye Cream
Redermic R Eyes is an intensive anti-aging concentrate that contains pure retinol, caffeine and La Roche-Posay’s signature thermal spring water. This hydrating combination helps to reduce the look of wrinkles, and it has a refreshing gel texture that helps lift and cool the under-eye area.
L’Oréal Revitalift Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Eye Cream
If you’re searching for an affordable drugstore option, try Revitalift Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Eye Cream by L’Oréal Paris. This eye treatment fights wrinkles and firms the skin, all while resisting signs of aging and reducing visible dark circles. It’s also formulated with Pro-Retinol and centella asiatica for a soothing finish.
This eye cream contains caffeine, peptides and retinol to smooth and depuff the under-eye area. Better yet, you can use this one as needed during the day and at night for maximum results.
Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask
The Avocado Melt Sleeping Mask is one of our favorite nighttime rituals from Glow Recipe, but this version with retinol for the under-eye area is next level. Apply this creamy avocado formula every night before bed to de-puff and brighten dark circles.
