5 years of collagen eye patches, every single morning. They felt amazing for 20 minutes and my eyes at 8 pm looked exactly like my eyes at 8 am. The collagen on a patch never gets past the surface. It hydrates and cools for an hour, and that is the whole trick. After 5 years I stopped buying them and spent weeks reading dermatology papers instead. What I found became a simple 2 step routine, and this is step 1. 🧬 What actually changed them: Nanoretinol, developed by an American company called North Biomedical LLC. Retinol molecules wrapped in nanoparticles small enough to pass through the skin barrier, so it works right under the eyes without the burn. 🔎 Find Nanoretinol on Amazon and TikTok Shop and read the REVIEWS 🧯 Regular retinol was never an option there. Yourick, 2008 measured it: only 1.3% of applied retinol is absorbed. The other 98.7% sits on the surface irritating, which on undereye skin means stinging and flaking. ✨ Nanoretinol is 232% more effective at collagen production than regular retinol. The skin under my eyes is the thinnest on my face and it lost collagen first. 6 months of rebuilding it rewound my eyes 10 years. 🩺 I paired it with Alastin Restorative Skin Complex, $258 on the Alastin site, peptides that tell the skin to clear old damaged collagen and build new. #antiaging #matureskin #undereyes - @jessyantiaging
