Q: What is Enlighten PM designed for?
A: Enlighten PM is intended for nighttime care of visible age-related changes and texture concerns in the skin surrounding the eyes.
Q: Why does an eye-area formula contain tretinoin?
A: Tretinoin promotes skin cell turnover and has established use for certain signs of photoaging. The eye area is particularly sensitive, however, which is why the amount, placement, and frequency should follow our healthcare provider’s instructions.
Q: Can I put Enlighten PM directly on my eyelids?
A: Do not apply it to the eyelids, lash line, inside corners, or directly into the eyes unless our healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so. The product should be used only on the prescribed surrounding skin.
Q: What do caffeine and green tea add to the formula?
A: Both provide antioxidant properties. Caffeine is also commonly incorporated into cosmetic eye products focused on the appearance of the eye area, while green tea EGCG provides complementary antioxidant activity.
Q: What if the area becomes dry or irritated?
A: Tretinoin can cause dryness, redness, peeling, or irritation, and the skin around the eyes can be particularly sensitive. Our healthcare provider may recommend reducing application frequency or modifying your regimen if irritation develops.
Q: How long can Enlighten PM be used?
A: Treatment may continue for approximately 3–6 months or longer when appropriate. Our healthcare provider can periodically reassess skin response, tolerance, and whether continued treatment is appropriate.
