The No7 Pure Retinol Eye Cream is one of my favourite retinol eye creams ever. You get all the benefits of retinol but with zero irritation.
What is it?
The No7 Pure Retinol Eye Cream is a eye cream designed to treat the main concern we have about our eye area – fine lines and wrinkles.
What Do I Think?
If there’s going to be any area of my face that gets irritation, it will generally be the eye area or the tops of my cheeks. I can use this retinol eye cream every night and not get any irritation at all – which is the sign of an amazing formulation 🙌
The texture of the cream isn’t too rich or heavy, but not too light either. It’s designed to naturally buffer the drying effectives of the retinol.
No7 spend a lot of time researching and formulating their products. Its one of the things I really love about them as a brand. Their eye cream boasts pure retinol, soothing ingredients such as bisabobol and ceramides, peptides, Glycerin in a shea butter base. The result is an eye cream that supports well-aging and is super hydrating without any irritation.
It’s absolutely worth trying if you can – and its quite frequently on special offer.
Would I Recommend?
I would! Not only is it quite effective, but it’s also really good if you are prone to sensitivity around the eye area.

How I Use It
In the evening only. I’d apply a rice-grain amount to my ring finger, and gently massage into the eye area. I actually take this one over the eyelids too. I wouldn’t recommend everyone does this, but it worked ok for me.
Would I Repurchase/Buy?
Yes I would – I really liked it and thought it was a good price for a retinol eye cream.
