Have you tried slugging? Did you see improvements? If not, do you want to? 🐌🐌
I've been slugging around my eyes for a while and I like how my skin feels in the morning. I apply it before my retinol so it also helps keep the retinol away from my eyes.

I've been doing this since before it had a name. It's only common sense. I'll be 70 next year but look 20 yrs.younger. I stayed out of the sun because I don't tan evenly. Knew about Retain A in late 20s but was too strong for me then. Now it's available in every moisturizing cream.
Very informative. Thank you so much Dr. Wong.

@DrRupaWong, could you please make a video on the use of a mixture of glycerine, rosewater and cloves on face. I mean is it good or bad especially for dry skin? Does it help with crow's feet?
Can i use vasiline such as moisturiser for under eyes ?
After I do warm compress, my eyes are a lot drier? Wondering what your thoughts are. 30 minutes a night, electric eye mask. MGD from accutane along time ago.

Thanks for the video! I wonder if we should emphasize the importance of having a clean face and hands before applying the Vaseline around the eyes? The tubes of eye ointment emphasize not contaminating them by touching them to eyes/fingers. I imagine a tub of petroleum jelly you just stick your hands into isn't going to be very sterile.

Yes, always wash hands!
I used ophthalmic tears ointment several yrs in one eye for lagophthalmus which eliminated a large Pinguecula . That led to the use in both eyes which had the same result . Since the DEWS study indicated the best tears were lipid base I started using coconut oil at bedtime for even better results. Among my patients who prefer this natural product for dry eye are some ophthalmologists and their wives . As an optometrist for 47 yrs I enjoy sharing what I have learned.

Glad and appreciate you covering this topic. I have normal to dry skin but can develop milia so quickly with any topical cream with certain emollients. I'll proceed with caution, thanks! ❤ Dr. Rupa, please I'd like to know WHICH eyelid primer (no brand name req'd, just key INGREDIENT/S) should be avoided if you already have dry eyes, hay fever prone and can get dry, flakey lids. I love my eyeshadows and liquid liner, but have to leave my eyes makeup free for at least a week, if I do a full eyelook. I already skip mascara and don't tightline with pencils or powder, but the dry eye discomfort can be hard to take.

Wow, you look at least 10 years younger 😊. How do you get it off in the morning? Do you just use a regular cleanser? I'll have to try it - I'd like for my concealer to go on better. Thanks for the great advice, doc!

Yes just regular cleanser! Let me know what you think!
I actually put it for 1 day and I developed Melia as well
Is there anything else you could use under the eyes apart from Vaseline that would have a similar moisturing effect?

This is very informative. But when I went to my ophthalmologist last month, I asked him if putting tretinoin (retinoic acid) near my eyes would cause dryness to the meibomian glands...he replied me "what's tretinoin?" Sigh. I don't supposed every ophthalmologist knows about retinoic acid, retinaldehyde, , retinol especially if they are men? So then I said retinol instead because most often people hear about retinol vs retinoic acid and he wasn't so sure but he said, sure, no problem.
