Sunday Riley - abc1111 review for 5 Stars Retinoid + Niacinamide Eye Serum

SRP: US $65.00 Size: 15 mL/ 0.5 oz PAO: 12 months Retinol for the eye area! The 5 Stars Eye Serum from Sunday Riley is a nighttime anti-aging eye serum made especially for the delicate skin around the eyes. This is a serum so I use this under my regular eye cream. It contains anti-aging ingredients Retinol and Granactive Retinoid, skin-brightening Niacinamide, skin-strengthening Ceramide NP, and skin-soothing trio Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, and Asiatic Acid from centella asiatica. It comes in a tube with a nice applicator. No fragrance nor essential oils. The serum appears a little bit yellow in color which is understandable since retinol is bright yellow. It’s lightweight, quickly absorbed, does not pill, and works well under any eye cream or facial cream. I know retinol is not as strong as tretinoin, but the retinol in this is potent enough for the skin around the eyes which is thin and sensitive. I use this every other night, sometimes every second night. I’ve tried nightly but that was too much. The skin on the outer corners of my eyes felt raw and touching it was painful. Using the eye cream less frequently would be the best course of action. For even application with less skin tugging, it’s recommended to dot the serum all over the eye area before rubbing it in.
