An anti-aging retinol concentrate specially designed for the sensitive eye area that visibly reduces the appearance of wrinkles, crow’s feet, dark circles and uneven skin tone.
Contains 0.1% pure etinol , one of the best anti-aging ingredients out there. Instantly leaves a visible lifting effect, reduces wrinkles and minimizes dark discoloration.
The exclusive Retinol Booster Complex (Retinyl Linoleate + Adenosine) enhances the effectiveness of pure retinol while reducing skin discomfort commonly associated with retinoids . While caffeine visibly reduces the appearance of dark circles by increasing circulation in the area.
Created especially for those with sensitive skin who want effective results, this specific formula without perfume intensely smoothes and sculpts the eye area with a light texture, easy to apply and very comfortable.
Users love its light texture that absorbs very quickly into the skin. Only a small amount needs to be used as it spreads easily.
For maximum results, apply daily to wrinkles and dark circles around the eye area. Although due to the retinol, it is recommended to apply a daily sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
The presence of retinol in the formula is clear, but we know very little about the rest of the ingredients. So let’s go through all of its ingredients to see what we can expect from the La Roche Posay product.
And after the analysis, I encourage you to take a look at this article with The Best Contours for Women from 60 years old , among which we have included this cream.

La Roche-Posay Redermic R Eyes Eye Contour Review Summary
The cream is enriched with a powerful anti-aging ingredient, 0.1% pure retinol , which reduces the appearance of fine lines and reduces puffiness under the eyes.
An ingredient that is optimized with La Roche-Posay’s exclusive Booster Complex to ensure better results.
Although the ingredient can sometimes cause redness or irritation in many skin types, the brand has used a combination of (Retinyl Linoleate + Adenosine) to reduce these possible discomforts. Unless you have sensitive or reactive skin, it doesn’t have to give you problems.
An infusion of 0.2% caffeine energizes tired eyes, making the area appear bright and vital by increasing blood circulation.
While a high concentration of La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water refreshes and calms.
The hydration part is also covered by glycerin and other emollients that are in large proportions. Hyaluronic acid could have been a good moisturizer, but it has very little presence.
Although very dry skin may find it not as hydrating as they would like.
The hypoallergenic, paraben-free and non-comedogenic formula guarantees perfect tolerance. Although we have found some other irritating and toxic ingredient that we would not like to have on the skin.
In short, it is quite effective due to the inclusion of retinol, but not all skins will be able to withstand it.
La Roche-Posay Redermic R Eye Cream absorbs quickly into the skin, and being ophthalmologist tested, it is suitable for contact lens wearers as well.
Make sure to only use it at night, from the inner corner of the eye outwards; and then in the morning apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 on the area, as retinol can increase sensitivity to the sun.
It is not recommended to use in conjunction with other retinoids.
Alternative
Not all skin can withstand the effects of retinol, which can leave the skin at least dry and dehydrated. Therefore, if you want to avoid these side effects, without giving up the good anti-wrinkle effects it has, we recommend the Nezeni Cosmetics eye contour.
Contains gentle but effective natural ingredients that tighten the area and reduce the depth of wrinkles and crow’s feet, while reducing puffiness under the eyes.
And best of all, it does not have any irritant that damages your skin, and its level of preservatives is very low. We have analyzed it and it is the best eye contour on the market right now
