I haven't tried them so my vote is just based on their formula: Voted Numbuzin No.9. ​The eye area has the thinnest skin on the face, and Numbuzin provides the rich lipid support (shea, ceramides, NAD+) that fragile under-eye tissue actually needs to soften crepey, dynamic fine lines without irritation. ​Celimax is an impressive formula, but pairing 0.1% retinal with spicules (hydrolyzed sponge micro-needles) is far too aggressive for the delicate orbital rim. Celimax belongs on resilient expression lines—like smile folds or forehead wrinkles—not around the eyes!

:o good observation, I tried the VT eye cream and my under eyes got irritated at first use, probably because of the spicules! I normally use my retinal on my face as well so I would say celimax would be good for it but I would need a different eye cream that is gentle. Will try the Seoul1988 you recommended!

I use the ‘Celimax - Retinal shot’ on my T-zone (nose) for pore-tightening, definitely aggressive so I agree with @Mariacasino about choosing the Numbuzin no.9 eye cream in this matter. I haven’t tried any eye retina/ols creams yet but I am thinking about starting off at 0.06%

And what do you think about it? Your T zone improved? Because normally I use retinal on my face as well so probably celimax will make good for the rest of the face but eyes I will get something more gentle, my under eyes do get irritated easily! Thanks for letting me know because I was about to buy Celimax and learn the hard way 😂

The pores on my nose and cheeks around my nose are noticeably smaller, I don’t really have fine lines or wide pores on my forehead or chin. 👌🏼 I use Dr Different 0.1% retinal on the rest of my face but I am about to run out like tomorrow night so I am upgrading to 0.2% switching to the MEDIK8 brand. 😬 I couldn’t imagine using the Celimax under my eyes, too potent for me right now, the spicule prickling would be too uncomfortable for me. 🥲
