This 'truly amazing' anti-aging beauty product is a ridiculous 71% off, so I put it to the test — here's my honest opinion
Amazon shoppers say it's a "staple item." When it comes to aging, the eyes tell all. I love my CeraVe eye cream and Grace and Stella's energizing eye masks are incredible, but to really target those fine lines, retinol is required. I have to be very careful which retinol products I use, as many can irritate and dry out my skin. That said, I was intrigued when I came across Amazon's viral Velamo Retiol Eye Stick — which is currently on sale for 71 per cent off, making it the lowest price I've ever seen. Quick shop: Of the more than 10,300 Amazon reviews the retinol stick has, many are saying they are in love with it, calling it a 'staple item.' The praise was enough for me to add it to my cart back in June 2024 and I've been using it steadily ever since. Do I love it? Would I recommend it for daily use? Keep scrolling to read my thoughts. The details With regular use, this easy-to-apply retinol stick will help improve the tone and texture of your eye area, reducing the appearance of puffiness, dark circles and fine lines. Formulated with powerhouse anti-aging ingredients such as retinol, vitamin E and hyaluronic acid, as well as collagen-boosting Bakuchiol, this lightweight product is moisturizing but not greasy. The vegan product is fragrance-free and designed for use on even the most sensitive of skin. After cleansing your face, gently glide the stick over your entire eye area in circular motions, starting at the outer edges of your eye. You should also apply over and around the eyelid, being careful not to tug at the skin. When you first try the product, it's recommended that you try it once every two to three days to allow your skin to adjust to the retinol. After about two weeks, you can go ahead and use it every night. According to the manufacturer, within three to four weeks you can expect to see visible results. Also, because this product contains retinol, your skin is more sensitive to the sun, so don't forget to apply sunscreen all over your face! What I like about it It's cute and compact: I love that the eye stick resembles a lipstick tube. It's easy to carry around with me at all times. It really does help fine lines: As long as I use it at least once a week, it reduces the appearance of fine lines. It's also important that between uses, you keep your skin well hydrated, as this will help prevent skin from tugging during application. Vegan and totally fragrance-free: It has no odour, for real. None. Not even the essence of a scent. I really appreciate that. A super-hydrating blend of ingredients: In addition to retinol, the formula contains moisturizing vitamin E and hyaluronic acid, which helps keep the retinol from drying out my skin. Room for improvement Can tug at the skin during application: When I first started using it, I noticed that when I applied the stick directly to my under-eye area, it tugged a bit at the skin, which I didn't like at all. To combat that, I put some on my forefinger and gently applied it that way. As I used it more regularly, my under-eye became more hydrated, and the tugging subsided, so I could also apply it directly with the stick. Everyday use? Not for me: I know it says you should use this product daily, but my skin does just fine when I use it a few times a week, especially during the summer. Even when I use it once a week, I notice an improvement in the tone and texture of my skin. There's an adjustment period: Your skin definitely needs time to adjust to the product. The first few times I used it, my skin appeared puffier and a little irritated. My son even asked me one morning if I had been crying. Your skin calms down, and the redness goes away, but there is a window during early use when you wonder if this is making your skin worse. If you have super sensitive skin, I would proceed with caution and perhaps consult your dermatologist before committing to daily use. What other shoppers are saying The "Amazon's Choice" retinol eye stick has earned thousands of five-star reviews. Many reviewers comment that they are "pleased" with their results and call it "truly amazing." One reviewer, who dubbed the eye stick a "staple item," has used it every day for over a month. They said it took a bit for their eyes to get used to the formula, and they experienced "puffiness" after applying it, but that only lasted a week. Another shopper described the eye stick as "effective" and "simple to apply." The product is "so smooth" and "light," they added. As for results, they said the stick was making a "slow difference" to their eye area. After two weeks of use, one shopper wrote that their dark circles had "drastically diminished." However, not everyone was impressed with the stick. One shopper wrote that after three months of use, they had observed "no noticeable difference" and would "not recommend it." One person was disappointed that the stick "pulled" at their under-eye skin and complained that it didn't "soak in." It's "just OK," described another. The verdict Hydrating creams and masks do much to brighten the eye area, but for rapid wrinkle repair, retinol is the way to go. This Velamo Retinol Eye Stick is my secret weapon for crow's feet. It's not perfect, and it absolutely takes some time for your skin to adjust to its potent ingredients, but with regular use, I have seen noticeable improvements. And for a whopping 71 per cent off, now's the time to add it to your cart. Just use caution when applying directly to the thin skin around your eyes. If need be, put some of the product on your forefinger to gently apply during those early applications, working up to placing the stick directly onto your face.

Gunman in CDC shooting fired nearly 500 shots after breaking into his father's gun safe. Here's what we know
The gunman who opened fire Friday at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention broke into his father's safe to get the five firearms recovered at the scene, state investigators said Tuesday, as some CDC workers seeking answers and reassurance from leadership were left dissatisfied by a short agency-wide meeting about the shooting. The shooter, Patrick Joseph White, fired nearly 500 rounds during the shooting, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said at a news conference Tuesday. Most of the shell casings found at the scene were from a long gun, one of the weapons White took from his father, the GBI said. White – who GBI Director Chris Hosey confirmed died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound – had expressed discontent with the Covid-19 vaccine in written documents recovered from his home. White 'wanted to make the public aware of his public distrust of the vaccines,' Hosey said. The investigative updates Tuesday came as the CDC held an all-agency meeting where staffers hoped to get more details about last week's shooting – the latest example of the ongoing turmoil at one of the world's top health agencies, more than five years after the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Instead, some who listened said they found the call lacking: No new information was shared, and comments were disabled, preventing anyone from asking questions, according to two CDC sources who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the meeting. 'Not much new in that meeting,' one CDC source said, describing it as 'more for our hearts than our heads.' Here's what else we know: The shooting started just before 5 p.m. Friday at a CVS drugstore directly across from the CDC's main entrance. DeKalb County police officer David Rose arrived as White fired on the CDC complex; on Tuesday, investigators confirmed Rose was fatally shot by White. No one at the CDC was injured in the shooting. Of the nearly 500 shots fired, about 200 struck six CDC buildings on the campus, which is located near Emory University on the eastern edge of Atlanta. Most of those shots were fired by a long gun, investigators said – one of the five weapons White had stolen from his father. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has determined all the firearms belonged to White's father. All five firearms – a mix of rifles, a shotgun and a handgun – were recovered, Hosey said, noting that White's family is cooperating with the ongoing investigation. White had no known criminal history, Hosey told reporters Tuesday. But he had 'recently verbalized thoughts of suicide,' Hosey said, and law enforcement was contacted several weeks before the shooting. It is unclear who reached out to law enforcement. A law enforcement source with direct knowledge of the investigation told CNN the gunman took his own life after unsuccessfully attempting to leave the CVS. Investigators believe White ran out of some of his ammunition, but the door was locked and would not open after firing a few rounds at it, the law enforcement official said. The CDC's all-agency meeting Tuesday had been pre-scheduled following the confirmation of Director Dr. Susan Monarez, according to a CDC staffer who requested anonymity for fear of reprisal. But the staffer noted they had been told the meeting's content clearly would change because of Friday's shooting. Many CDC employees are looking for more information on how exactly the shooter tried to get onto campus and how he was deterred. They also want agency leadership to acknowledge the role the Trump Administration's smears of federal employees and vaccines had apparently played in the attack. The meeting Tuesday was brief, lasting about 17 minutes. The information that was shared by Monarez and Jeff Williams – who leads the Office of Safety, Security and Management – largely repeated what was already known about the incident and the extensive damage to CDC buildings. Both Monarez and Williams honored Rose. Employees were supposed to hear an update on available mental health resources from acting Chief Operating Officer Christa Capozzola, but she had trouble connecting to the call. 'They had lots of technical challenges,' one CDC source said. 'In their defense, most of that team was RIF'd,' the source added, referring to extensive reduction-in-force layoffs of federal employees earlier this year. The CDC lost about a quarter of its staff. 'This was such a mess,' said a second CDC employee who listened to the meeting. 'All the chats are popping about how bad and disrespectful it was,' that employee said, describing group messages shared after the meeting. CDC employees want to know why there wasn't an earlier announcement to seek cover and why some did not receive a text alert from the agency's security system. The second CDC staffer who listened to the call said they had hoped to see agency leaders 'being human, actually talking to us – allowing for questions.' The CDC has come under fire during the second Trump administration as conspiracy theories continue to plague the vaccines credited with halting the spread of Covid-19. On Monday, US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – a longtime critic of Covid vaccinations, with a history of spreading vaccine misinformation – visited the CDC offices. The purpose of Kennedy's visit was 'to offer condolences to the family of police officer David Rose' and 'to offer support to all the CDC employees who are part of a shining star health agency around the world,' he said in an interview with Scripps News taped Monday. When asked what would be done to stop the spread of vaccine misinformation to prevent incidents like Friday's shooting, Kennedy said, 'We don't know enough about what the motive was of this individual.' In an internal video sent to staff ahead of Tuesday's meeting, Monarez said, 'Science and public health should never be under attack.' Monarez appeared emotional in the video as she pledged support for CDC employees left 'shaken, saddened and deeply concerned.' 'My thoughts are with everyone impacted, and I want you to know that your safety, your well-being, and your sense of security remain my highest priority,' Monarez said. 'Science and public health should never be under attack. What we do here is about protecting lives. It's about preventing suffering and building healthier communities. Acts of violence will never weaken our resolve.' Correction: An earlier version of this story's headline misstated the number of rounds the shooter fired at the CDC. CNN's Nadia Kounang contributed to this report.
