Unfortunately, the product description does not state it can be used around the eyes.

I add to organic coconut based soap for cleaning and hand washing. I use in coconut oil for skin irritations and add the Plant Therapy Pain relief for arthritis in knees and ankles. I have residual Lyme disease that returned after antibiotic treatment. I use natural treatments now, and use this on my original "bull's eye" skin area regularly. Works great on mosquito bites too for pain relief and redness. Coconut oil is a natural infection fighter andthese oils mixed with it seem to keep me feeling better than before I started using them.

It's great that at 23, you're taking charge of your skin care. In reality, all eye creams are technically moisturizers. However, avoid using a face moisturizer around your eyes. The skin around the eyes is very thin and face moisturizers are too heavy for the eyes. In any event, I recommend always using an eye cream or gel. But I do not recommend this product. I had an allergic reaction to the product. Look into an eye cream (or gel) that has few chemicals or even better, one that is organic. Eye creams (or gels) with too many chemicals and preservatives will dry out the skin under the eyes...creating wrinkles. When researching skin care products that are organic, make sure that the item(s) have a seal certifying that the product is most definitely organic. Some products claim to be organic but still have harmful chemicals. Check the label and avoid products with these chemicals: parabens, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate, fragrance, formaldehyde and others. You can do a search for the complete list of chemicals to avoid. In closing, DO NOT purchase this product. Do your research. You may spend a little more but you won't be sorry. I hope this helps. Good luck.

I mix it with coconut oil to make my own sunscreen. It seems to be fine enough to spread on the face, smooth and soft. One more thing I might add is the mixture I make looks whitish when on my darker skin color. It doesn't bother me because I want protection from the sun with a natural product.

definitely oily and I am not sure that it does all that much for the wrinkles. But it is moisturizing....... have not used the radical wrinkle complex

Hi Carolyn! I have found that as I age and the wrinkles are deeper around the eyes that although Obagi is among the better medium priced facial systems, there is really nothing that has worked to eliminate deep wrinkles. They can be softened, but only a true aesthetic and expensive face lift by a Board Certified dermatologist can actually eliminate wrinkles as they can fill them with collegen while under sedation. I spent a lot of money on Botox and while it worked for 2-3 months it did not really have long term effects. However the partial facelift that I had while living in Caracus, Venezuela has permanently left me looking 10 years younger. Plus I also have been using a face sunscreen of 30-40 spf ever since. I am sorry that I thought that getting a tan would ever be worth it after I reached my 60's. If you have droopy upper or lower eyelids then consider having them done as that can take a lot of time off your face. If I could I would have the lower lid done. but even now don't forget the sunscreen on your face before you leave your house. Linda Boccia

It works very well for me for under eye wrinkles, but be very careful not to get it in your eyes.

I have not seen any improvement in the wrinkles around my eyes, but I like knowing that the product is hydrating my skin. I doubt that you will see any great improvement in the lines around your mouth. Products like these can't fix deeper wrinkles.

Yes please do use this on your entire face and neck area, leave it on for a couple minutes then put on your makeup and your skin will thank you and everyone will too. My daughter who is 26 said Mom what are you doing? I tell her I have been eating right, drinking more water, taking vitamins and using this and using coconut oil caplets and you are welcome to go to my facebook website and look at my profile picture zoom in and I have NO WRINKLES!! This stuff works! I also stay out of the sun and use lots of sunscreen summer and winter....try this it works.

It can be used not only as a hair mask (it may requires 2-3 shampoos to wash it out in the next morning), but also as a lip balm, body moisturizer, make-up remover and face cleanser, cuticle oil and to treat dry skin area (knees, heels, elbows). This Nature's Way Coconut Oil is excellent because is organic, has a very light smell, and it is not greasy or sticky.

I would think, the earlier you start using it, the better. If used by younger women, it may keep them from developing wrinkles. It certainly wouldn't hurt, as the ingredients are all natural!

I use coconut oil daily as a body moisturizer and it is the best thing I ever use on my body. My skin is soft, healthy and has this beautiful glow. I use it every day on my face as well ...It looks like it smooth wrinkles a bit, but I must admit I also have few breakouts on my face. I use it for a 2 months already and I don't mind minor breakouts if my wrinkles are improved :). Also I used it for hair and sun protection, for oil pulling and I am cooking with it. Best discovery for me this year :) I feel my energy levels improved and my digestions is never better!

It did around my eyes but I do not have really deep wrinkles, just light ones around my eyes. I cannot answer for the mouth as I don't really have any there.

The only thing that is really going to reduce wrinkles is an over the counter medicine, like retin-A, or a professional treatment, like Botox, Dysport, etc. An oil isn't going to really reduce any wrinkles, but it could help slow down new wrinkles from forming.

Sure, although a natural oil like coconut, will be healthier for your skin tissues, as your pores will be opened by the pulling massaging, and the oil will absorb into your dermal layers. Might as well choose one that is nutrifying!

I'm not sure about eye wrinkles. I use a toner and then apply. Have to use for at least 3mo. to see results so I'm still waiting. I haven't had any breakouts so far. Hope this helps.
