Can you use it under the eyes?

I don't apply the solution every night only 3 - 4 times a week and yes I do apply it under my eyes and so far without any problems. The 2% lotion is much less likely to cause problems and much the better choice for sensitive skin. It is quite oily so a little goes a long way and just a gentle dab under the eyes is sufficient. I hope this helps.

Do i need to use a moisturiser before or after this retinol?

I never had to use a moisturiser. It had never left my skin feeling dry.

Will this help with wrinkles?

Retinoids (derivatives of Vitamin A) assist in cell turnover and are evidenced to address signs of skin aging including pigmentation (especially left by acne scars etc) and lines/wrinkles. The 2% Granactive Retinoid 2% in squalane is a relatively mild retinoid but I used it as my first introduction to retinoid products and liked it a lot. To be honest, at this strength I don't think it would really have a massive effect on the signs of aging - but if you've never used retinol/retinal products before, it's a good introduction. It's really important to let your skin get used to retinoid products gradually, as otherwise irritation, peeling etc is a risk. This product is highly unlikely to cause irritation. I now use prescription strength retinoic acid (Tretinoin) but cannot use that (or many other retinoids) on my neck where my skin is extremely sensitive. I can use the granactive retinoid in squalane there without any problems.

Unfortunally not . But Dr Botanical its Vegan you can find on my amazon shop Thanks
