Hi - I was wondering if a retinol product is safe to use on the under eye area, specifically the Skinmedica Retinol Complex 0.5? That is what I am currently using for my face. Thanks, Hetal

<p>Thank you for reaching out to us. I would not get too close to the eye area , the skin under your eyes is a lot thinner ,it might cause irritation. I would use an eye cream specific to that area such as SkinMedicas <a href="/skinmedica-uplifting-eye-serum-0.5-fl.-oz./12901215.html?utm-source=ate-cr">Uplifting Eye Serum .</aa>I hope this helps, have a nice day!
