When it comes to smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines, retinol is the gold standard ingredient, but it gets tricky when we’re talking about the delicate, thin skin under your eye. There’s a fine line between efficacious and irritating, but the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Eye—our favorite drugstore pick–manages to strike the balance between the two. It uses a stabilized form of retinol that releases slowly over time, reducing the risk of a skin reaction, and the concentration is beginner-friendly, so you know it won’t be too strong. At $29 it’s already affordable but currently it’s just $16, almost half the price. That’s one of the lowest prices I’ve seen all year, making it a good time to stock up.
