Surprisingly works!!! [SEP] It definitely has retinol in it. I use retinol products and I wanted something specific for my eyes to work on as I call them crinkles. Well the circular dots I use for right between my eyebrows and then the eye pads for obviously under the eye. They tinkle but not burn so you can feel it penetrating the skin. It comes with this weird little scooper I found absolutely useless.<br /><br />But, I really like the product. It sticks on easily!<br /><br />I got this product discounted for a fair and honest review. Totally worth buying!
