Top 5 Retinol eye creams that are vegan *and effective*
Looking for an eye cream that target signs of ageing? Opt for one that contains Retinol, the skincare ingredient of choice when it comes to fine lines and wrinkles. Discover 5 amazing Retinol eye creams that are vegan and actually work!
What are the benefits of using a Retinol eye cream?
Retinol is a synthetic derivative of Vitamin A that has become one of the most famous ingredients in skincare, especially when it comes to anti-ageing skincare.
This is because although Retinol offers a wide range of benefits, it is especially good at reducing fine lines and is a great prevention tool for the first signs of skin ageing.
Here are the 3 main benefits of choosing a retinol eye cream:
It targets fine lines and loss of firmness on this specific area
It evens skin tone for a brighter under eye area
It improves skin texture by encouraging cell turnover and collagen production
