I apply it all over specially in my eyes and forehead, I have wrinkly eyelids and fine lines on my forehead which I am pretty sure in a few weeks they will be even less visible. I have tried retinols that are serums so this is my first experience with a retinol moisturizer and specifically, the moisturizing part is quite amazing, it did not cause any breakouts or skin irritations and it works fabulously with my oily skin, I am very happy I got to try this product....Its the perfect night cream, i do not have to slather an additional layer of moisturizer. The best part is that its as effective as strong, irritating retinols.
