I'm sure Chris will get into more detail with this, but I have been told thatretinol is very dangerous in the eye area. It exfoliates very intensely, and over time will thin the skin. The skin under your eyes is ver thin and sensitive already. I am not the expert, but I think that this can lead to more creasing over time. At our age (I am 25 as well) I think over-doing the retinol around the eyes could actually speed the aging process....If I were you I'd try a gentler eye cream with a bit of SPF.
