I have retinol in my eye.

[CollaterlieSistersSister]

Is my eyeball going to fall out, explode?? Or just see a scientifically proven reduction in fine lines?

To be specific, it’s the The Ordinary 5% granactive retinoid in squaline (nope, me neither).

And it hurts like a bastard.

I’ve swilled & swilled with water (washing the effing product off my face, good job it’s cheapo). Anything else I can or should do, does anyone know??

Ta muchly.

Ow.

Don't think it's a Style & Beauty issue. If it's hurting call 111 or your out of hours doctor and they'll advise. You might need to go and have it looked at and you shouldn't risk it with eyes.

Ouch, sorry I've got no idea what the impact of getting it in your eye is, but interested in what you think of it (on your face that is). I've been using the ordinary 10% matrixyl for about 2 months now but not seeing much of a difference.

Thank you kind kind posters. My eye is a bit less hurty, but quite ‘glazed’ and red. Still ow though.

I’ve water swilled a few more times & will see how it is in morning.

As for the effect of the product Cuppa , I think I’m rather impressed - but I added it to a whole new regime so struggling to know exactly what is making the difference. I’m doing this + Alpha H Liquid Gold alternately in the evenings, plus No 7 lift & luminate each morning (am old) and have seen SUCH an improvement.

My skin is smoother, pores really do seem reduced, glowing. Can go without any foundation now. Seriously. Only took about a month of consistency-ish, allowing for a good few couldn’t-be-arsed nights here & there, and a dollop of general debauchery.

Something is definitely working. Maybe it’s the debauchery

Will give it a go next time I think, thanks.

How's the eye? Stinging still? Or just youthful.
