How to help my undereye wrinkles go back to normal?
Hi there! So I’ve been crashing out the last few days because on Friday night, I did my usual tret routine before bed, woke up, and had several new, more prominent eye wrinkles. And they have yet to go away.
My skin hasn’t rejected my current hydration routine before so I was like, did I just age significantly overnight?? But only just now did I discover that the culprit might have been this new serum I added to my routine that night for funsies, that also happened to have 1% pure retinol… Oops.
Sooo now I’m a little paranoid that these wrinkles will never go away 🥲 In the days since getting them, I’ve not put on tret and have been wearing sunscreen as usual. I am trying to keep my skin moisturized (Eucerin Intensive Repair, Vaseline). But I also continued using the serum, thinking it was helping to hydrate when really it was probably prolonging my dry spell (Innisfree Green Tea Bounce Booster for eye & lip). I’m also quite expressive and smile/laugh a lot. I have been in quite a few long-winded conversations and spent a night out with friends since this happened, so as fun as all that was, they didn’t really help the lines settle lol.
I guess I’m worried that I’ve already deepened the wrinkles in this sensitive area to the point of no return, because it’s been days and there are no improvements 🥲 Am I being ridiculous here? What are more ways I can hopefully alleviate this issue quickly?? Thank you!
