How does this work for the neck? Ca it also be used for skin around the eyes - underneath and on the lids? Can this be used in conjunction while I'm using a retinoid cream? One day on and one day off with either cream. Thanks!

Depends on your age and skin sensitivity. I cannot wear Algenist Firming cream around my eyes, as they become irritated and red. This began to happen after a year or two of using Algenist, so it may have to do with age and increasing sensitivity. I use a completely different cream (usually hypoallergenic) around the eyes. I never had any problems using Algenist on the neck, and continue to do that. As for retinoid cream, you need to experiment. I've found that it is helpful to change creams from time to time anyway. Good luck!

You could use on face....but I'm not sure how well it would do on neck.....creases...Etc.

Yes you can use it on your neck, too as well as in your face absorbs quickly and it's an excellent serum , love it cause it works..!

I would suggest that you try a product with retinoid in it for discoloration. This product by Burt's Bees is a fine oil that is absorbed very fast to ease tightening of the skin so it's more comfortable. I use it under my eyes, on crinkles at the corners of the eyes, and on facial wrinkles by the cheeks. I don't use it right before I have to go out, though, because it does take just a few minutes and I don't want to look shiny. It's great at night.

Hello Sarita. Yes, this ointment is safe to use topically on any skin area on a regular basis including the face and neck area. Thank you for your question. Have a great weekend. NutraScience Customer Care Team

Hello I use about a dime size amount for face and neck, and I put it on 2-3 times a day as needed. I have very dry skin and works great, with the added bonus of the sun block. Does not stain clothes or leave greasy redo, you could use more sunscreen but I don't find a need to, and I wear makeup over it daily.

For me, Im not using around my eye, because the skin around eye is so sensitive and this product contains all ingredients design only for face and neck area.Im using special eye serum instead.

My husband used this. He put a few drops from the dropper on his finger and rubbed it into the skin on his face. He focused on his cheeks, sides of the eyes and forehead. He did it once in the morning and once in the evening (after a shower). He used it for a month. We took before/after photos and it didn't do anything for him. The wrinkles were just as deep, his skin was just as...old looking. Ha. Don't tell him I wrote that ;)

I do not use it in place of moisturizer. Per my dermatologist, i use it on top of vitamin c cream and before moisturizer and eye cream. I have been using this product for a long time. I swear by it.

I use it around the eyes regularly with no ill effect. But you have to carefully smooth it in or it stays in the creases and the under-eye area gets a little rough and scaly. Also, avoid getting it in your eyes, because it can sting quite a bit. I reapply once in every four hours when I'm out in the sun and after I wash my face or sweat a lot.

The back of the container says for use on the face and neck. I have been using it for around 20 years with some time in between when I could not find it in the stores but am in heaven now that I have found it again. I don't know what would happen if you used it on the body but be careful because of the ingredients. It kind of works like glycolic acid causing the skin to peel a little exposing new skin. You can't hang out in the sun without good sunscreen or a hat. Hope I could be of some help.

Yes, in my experience you can use both, although I would alter it per day/night. Putting both on your face at the same time is a bit of a waist. Might you want to use them both together, I wonder if the Vit.C than will contradict with the niacinamide, not sure about that.

The serum renews and rebuilds the skin. I use both products and the eye serum and neck cream. Love them all.

Yes, I use the product around my eyes. It does not sweat off into my eyes like some of the other sensitive sunscreens do. It seems to absorb better. I use moisturizer, sunscreen, and makeup together. I put the sunscreen on before the moisturizer dries completely as it helps completely absorb. I also use on my neck with no staining on my clothes. I was using Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby sunscreen and it always left marks on my collar. This does not, again it seems to absorb much better. For normal daily use I apply once. If I am spending the day in the sun I reapply once every four hours since I burn easily. Yes, I use the product around my eyes.

I have used it daily under retinol and have no problem. It's the retinol that you need to be careful withn so I don't use the retinol daily.

It states on the product directions not to use it around your eyes, but I rub a small amount under my eyes and on my crow's feet. I'm just very careful to not get it too close to my eyes. I would not use it on my upper eye lid. Use a specific eye cream for that. I also mix a couple of drops of vitamin E into the product. I put it in the palm of my hand and apply it with my fingers on my other hand. I wash my hands immediately after doing my routine. It is a very good product that my dermatologist sells in his office, but the price is considerably higher than it is on Amazon.

It does not say you cannot use around the eyes. I use the oils sparingly and like to mix with cream. I dot a very small amount of the product on the cheekbone and temple area to avoid getting in the eyes (as the oils will migrate in the grooves of any wrinkles). I never use products on my eyelids. I did not experience breakouts.
