Fine lines around eyes - help

9 replies

I've noticed a real increase in fine lines around my eyes over the last eighteen months and I'd like to reduce their appearance, if possible. Currently 38.
I'm pregnant so can't use retinoin at the moment- will absolutely start once the baby is born. Injectables aren't really for me. What else do you do for fine lines that has worked? Has anyone noticed an improvement with microneedling?

I'm not sure if you will be able to do microneedling while pregnant either? Probably just a very hydrating eye cream for now. Then once you've had the baby look into microneedling, and a retinoid.

I use boots No 7 Laboratories Line Correcting Booster Serum. I saw a real difference when I started using it.

Microneedling is excellent for skin rejuvenation. As are retinoids for anti ageing - get from Skin+Me or Monderma after you have your little one. They usually run specials.

Whilst pregnant apply vitamin c, hyaluronic acid and glycerin. You can get them from The Ordinary for £20 all inc. These help keep your skin plump, even toned and minimise the appearance of fine lines, especially around the delicate area of your crow's feet.

Just flagging up that if you’re planning on breastfeeding you can’t use retinol til after you’re stopped.

And chemical sunscreens with oxybenzone or avobenzone.
Worth checking if you're applying either.
