Adding one of the best retinol eye creams to your skincare routine is a sure-fire way to keep your under-eye area looking smooth and hydrated. And no, despite what some people say, you definitely don't need to wait until you hit a certain age before you can start using retinol-based products. In fact, the earlier you start, the better.

According to Dr Dendy Engelman, top skincare specialist and Elizabeth Arden's consulting New York dermatologist, you're never too young for eye cream, since it's more often than not the first area to start showing the effects of ageing. “I would definitely recommend the extra step of an eye cream because a) you need something that’s specifically formulated to not be too irritating and b) you want something extra nourishing and hydrating because the area is naturally more dry," she says.
