I have dry skin in the winters and whenever I apply my sunblock. I have sensitive skin. I'm 25 and thought I'd start using some retinol creams eye serum to svoid wrinkling. what would you ladies suggest? is loreal revitalift good? can I get some good brands at sephora?

I don't like loreal for skin care at all. the ingredients don't support their claims. try Olay, neutrogina. I personally have built up a tolorince and use whatever retinod or retinol that I use on my face around my eyes to. if your New to retinol get a one specify made for eyes till you build up a tolorence. you can go the higher end route but honestly some drug store brands work just as well. its just preference.

Let me try and understand your question...are you in the market for a retinol cream for your face and a separate eye cream for your eyes?
If looking for a retinol cream I would go drugstore because it contains the lowest percentage versus prescription. Some worthy brands...Alpha Hydrox (its one I use and love), Roc, Garnier, Neutrogena. I cannot stress the importance of taking baby steps with retinol. Do not use this every night. Start off using once a week to allow your skin to become acclimated. Then after a month or so moving up to twice a week. And if you wish to apply a moisturizer on top of it it must be one that contains no active ingredients (I use Clinique Moisture Surge Mask over mine). And sunscreen use of spf35 is a must for daytime or else you'll reverse the results of using a retinol.

Eye cream...I personally dabble with several different eye creams and serums. One that I've been using a lot lately is Mario Badsecu Glycolic Eye Cream for PM use. If I'm not using that its either grapeseed oil that I pick up from the health food store or Bobbi Brown's Extra Eye Cream.

I've been using Roc brand retinol wrinkle cream and it seems to be working very well.

Thanks Dani Shelley snd Chris! :) I'm really new to all of this and needed a bit of guidance, Shelley does that mean I can't use any moidturizers from loreal or shiseido on top of retinol creams? how do I know which moisturiser has not got active ingredients?
