Not for the eyes. Not an eye cream. They say it is good for the neck, so I would use. I am lucky and hv no problems with my neck. But I like the cream for my skin. At first I did not see a difference, but after 4 weeks, I did see one. I will buy the full size. Expensive, but I think it does work in making your skin look better.

Depends on your age and skin sensitivity. I cannot wear Algenist Firming cream around my eyes, as they become irritated and red. This began to happen after a year or two of using Algenist, so it may have to do with age and increasing sensitivity. I use a completely different cream (usually hypoallergenic) around the eyes. I never had any problems using Algenist on the neck, and continue to do that. As for retinoid cream, you need to experiment. I've found that it is helpful to change creams from time to time anyway. Good luck!

It's only recommended for use around the eyes. I haven't seen much effect around my eyes and the contact area is so small that I imagine it would take forever to use it on the neck or jowls.

the galvanic 3 part cleanse nourish and firm can be used everyday(not on neck) the lights can be used everyday. i use the 3 part galvanic every day with bio oil for a week and the lights for the first 3 days and maybe once more at the end of the week.then i skip 4-5 days of having to use it at all.and if you use it right and consistently it really works.it took 10 years off my face and you can skip alot of time in between use before you notice a gradual decline in that youthful appearance it gives and then it comes right back in one use.i love this device and i highly recommend it!

I use it once a week on my face after facial cleansing as a moisturizer, but only in areas with more fat like cheeks & neck. I use a different moisturizer on my nose, forehead and eye area. Perfectly fine to wear it under your cosmetics, just allow it to absorb before applying makeup. You should cycle to a different area each day rather than the same area all the time.

Dear Jill, Yes, it's the retinol that causes some of us to experience some burning or sensitivity in the first few days of nightly use. I asked my dermatologist about this reaction, and she indicated that the dosage of retinol in products is calibrated to be optimally effective in reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Don't give up! Her advice--which works: only use the night cream every third night for a week to 10 days. Then graduate to every other night for two weeks. This gradual approach acclimates the skin for comfortable use. You will see the product's benefits after a few nights' use. I confess I use both Roc wrinkle-reducing products (day and night) over a light serum, specifically Olay's Regenerist Serum. They are extremely compatible. Never get anything containing retinol near your eyes and, like the earlier writer warned, always wear sunscreen while using retinol. Roc makes a daytime retinol wrinkle treatment with an SPF 30 which is excellent. No, I don't work for Roc! ;-). I'm just an "old" woman who has used Roc creams for years and who finds they do an excellent job working in tandem.

I havent used them together in the same application, and honestly I dont see the need, but you can alternate the days with retinol and vitamin c

I mix a few drops with facial moisturizer and apply daily. This combo works pretty well together. I apply on my face and my neck.

It states on the product directions not to use it around your eyes, but I rub a small amount under my eyes and on my crow's feet. I'm just very careful to not get it too close to my eyes. I would not use it on my upper eye lid. Use a specific eye cream for that. I also mix a couple of drops of vitamin E into the product. I put it in the palm of my hand and apply it with my fingers on my other hand. I wash my hands immediately after doing my routine. It is a very good product that my dermatologist sells in his office, but the price is considerably higher than it is on Amazon.

I don't know if you will be able to see this youtube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFEECThgI5s, according to LaRochePosay specialist you can use the retinol and vitamin C together. I do this at night also, start out with a small amount, on a test area to make sure you don't have a reaction. Then you should start with a small mix all over your face, Increasing as your face gets used to it.

I have used it around my eyes with no adverse issues. I don't see why you couldn't use it both, I found myself using this as a pick me up or treat of sorts. You put it on and let it foam so it takes a little while. I found I didn't want to take the time every night.

Its great to use on face and body. The only thing it is thick so I recommend using a little at a time. It has made my skin very soft and helps with scaring on the skin. I use it with my other facial creams abs lotions but it can be used on its own. I had extremely bad allergies with my eyes this year and my eye lids were horrible I used this and it helped a lot and even helped with dark circles after a few weeks of continuous use.

I use it on my lids below eyebrows, under eye and at wrinkle corners. Just don't get to close to the eye in case you sweat, etc. It stings. This formulation is 15% C and the natural E softens it. Since my skin is more tolerant of the C, I use the 20% C solution. It has no E so I mix a few drops of natural E into it. This solution can sting if you are not used to C. Starting out I used the C+E and I love this brand. Has noticeably lighted my miasma, even without lactic acide or other peels.

This product is meant to be used at night. During the day, you can use your regular moisturizer... but you are only applying RetinoSyn-45 once per 24 hr period, at night.

Oh yes. I use it on my face a couple of times a week - at night. It is pretty strong, so you want to be careful the first time. I can't put it on my neck because it's just too strong and I end up with something like a burn. I have heard of people putting this Glycolic Cream on their face, and them putting a moisturizer on top - I think that cools down the stingy feeling a little bit. It does sting and burn, but only for 15 minutes or so. If you've ever had a glycolic acid peel, you'll recognize the feeling. I love this cream - but I respect it and use it with care.

Yes! I use it just under the brow bone and along the dark circle area of my eye. It works great on the neck and has instructions for the neck with it.

I personally use it under my regular moisturizer, it helps so much with those little wrinkles I have around my mouth & corners of my eyes. The directions are a little unclear so try it both ways to see which gives you the best results. Hope that helps. Read more reviews on the "olay" website. Thanks!!
