Peace Out

Peace Out Skincare is known for its high-quality products at surprisingly affordable prices, and its Retinol Eye Stick (~~$28~~; $14) is among its top sellers. After several weeks of testing it myself, I can see why. Whether you want to soften any wrinkles or can’t seem to out-sleep your dark circles, I can attest that this stick will cover all your bases. So though I think it's worth every penny at its regular price of $28, that doesn't mean I'm not jumping at the chance to stock up on the stick for *50 percent off* over the next 24 hours. Yes, you read that right. During Ulta's first-ever Semi-Annual Event, the famous Retinol Eye Stick is on sale for just $14 (was $28). But while the Ulta spring sale runs all the way through March 28, the daily deals only last for 24 hours at a time, which means you need to grab the magic stick *today.* Need more convincing? Read on for my full review of the must-have and all the reasons why you'll want to scoop up this game-changing product right this minute.

What Is Retinol And Why Should I Use It?

Retinol is a vitamin A derivative that’s used to promote cell turnover, which treats an array of skin concerns like uneven skin tone and texture, dark spots, fine lines and dullness. You will most often see retinol in the form of serums or creams, but this stick makes it so that you can just swipe it on and around your eyes, so the whole experience is a lot less messy.

Peace Out

The Peace Out Retinol Eye Stick has become something I look forward to using daily for many reasons: It’s relaxing to swipe on, my dark circles are starting to lighten up and my eyes look brighter when I wake up in the morning.

To use the stick, simply twist the product up (like you would your favorite lipstick) and swipe it on underneath your eyes and onto your eyelids. You won’t need to wash off any excess product in the AM because your skin will drink this stuff up.

If you’re like me and the skin underneath your eyes tends to get dry or flaky, this balm will completely eliminate that issue (so no more worrying about your concealer looking patchy). Also, all of the brand’s formulas are clean, vegan, gluten- and cruelty-free (and that pink tube is just so darling to look at).

Bottom line: If you struggle with dark circles, dry skin or crow’s feet, this retinol stick just might become your new holy grail product. It certainly has for me.

On an episode of PureWow’s Testing TikTok, content creator Kate Kesselman finally got her hands on the proclaimed holy grail: the Peace Out Retionol Eye Stick. Over the course of a week, she also tested out the viral beauty product to see whether or not it really lived up to the hype. Click the video above to see what Kate had to say about the retinol beauty stick or watch it after you stock up for just $14 because it won't stay on sale for half off for that much longer.
