Although dermatologists see patients for a countless number of concerns (acne, suspicious moles, dandruff — you name it), two of the most common appointment talking points are lines and discoloration. They're perfectly natural characteristics of skin that simply isn't as young as it used to be, but some folks would prefer to see themselves with a smoother texture and more even-toned complexion.
Shari Marchbein, a board-certified dermatologist and clinical assistant professor of dermatology and NYU School of Medicine, tells Allure that eyelid skin is the thinnest and most delicate — not to mention one of the first to show signs of aging — so it requires special care and attention. "Alastin Restorative Eye Treatment can be used twice daily and contains lots of powerful ingredients, including peptides to boost collagen production and skin elasticity, niacinamide, squalane, plant extracts, and darutoside," she says, calling it one of her favorite products to help with puffiness, fine lines, and dark undereye circles.
