Dark circles, puffiness, wrinkles, eye bags: Dr. Macrene covers it all

Dr. Macrene Alexiades, one of our favorite skin experts, is one of the most well respected dermatologists in the country and the very hands-on creator of the culty Macrene Actives product line. And we’re thrilled that she recently held a Zoom masterclass just for our community. 

In this Q&A with our founder, Dara, Dr. Macrene's focus was the skin around the eyes — one of the first areas where most of us notice aging, and one of the hardest to treat. Dr. Macrene shared her advice on keeping the eyes looking healthy and youthful, ingredients to look for and avoid in eye products, application tips for her runaway-hit Eye Cream, and answers to as many questions as we had time for.

Did you miss it? Don't worry: you can catch the recording of it below. Endless thanks to Dr. Macrene for sharing her knowledge with all of us.
