Does anyone have any ideas about how to address wrinkles directly under the eye? I fear that there is not much I can do since it is a loss of elasticity and my derm said there's nothing anyone can do about that, but I'm always hopeful! Will my Renova eventually improve them?
I'm only 37, but I feel like around my eyes I look 20 years older! :'(

I am hoping to see some improvement with Renova..I was told Botox would take care of mine,but I am just not willing to shell out the money for now.. protect your eyes &eye area with sunglasses and use sunblock or an eye cream containg SPF..

OT,but cute story..I used to teach 5 yr olds..one day a child ask me what those *things* were around my eyes..I told her *crinkles*..she asked how did I get those.. I told her they were from smiling a lot. She said,well,you must be VERY happy..out of the mouth of babes,LOL!

I'm 38 and I have crinkles underneath my eyes from smiling (they're not noticeable at all if I'm not smiling), and I find them really unattractive.  I sleep on my side and I'm sure that doesn't help eiither, but oh well....wrinkles from smiling alot...could be worse, right?  Look at it this way...wouldn't you rather have a life full of reasons to smile and wrinkles than the other way around?

Still, I get it, it would be nice to have smooth skin around the eyes.  I just prevent as many new wrinkles as I can with sunscreen and sunglasses.  And trust me, you are always your worse critic.  I'm sure you think it looks worse than it does.  

I've been using Renova and have noticed a vast improvement under my eyes - I am 47 and DRPW. I keep telling my husband to LOOK AT MY FACE and he just gives me that quizzical man look, like what the heck are you talking about? But I can definitely see the improvement and the clarity also. Start with this slowly per recs in Dr B's book because Renova tends to may your skin feel taught/dry in the beginning and some gals say this only aggrivates the under eye wrinkles. I've been ok with no complaints, but I was using an eye cream with retinol it in and used Dr B's recs to break in slowly. Carol

I actually got botox done on my crow's feet and loved the results...that stuff really is amazing!
Unfortunately, it won't do anything for the wrinkles underneath my eyes because that's loose skin, not muscle. Oh well, you're right Lydia, I am my own worst critic and I tend to fixate on one thing that drives me crazy. Actually, two things...I hate the wrinkles around my top lip, too!
Damn those 10 years I spent smoking in my 20's!! The funny thing is, no one really notices them but me, so I just have to relax and do what I can to prevent further damage now that I'm older and (at least a little bit) wiser.
