Prescription-strength treatment for dark circles & crow's feet
A dermatologist-level combination of tacrolimus and tretinoin, previously only available through specialists. Now in one powerful eye treatment. Strut Eye Cream combines 8 powerful ingredients to target dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines. Say hello to brighter and more youthful eyes.
The Strut Eye Cream is a prescription-strength compounded multiple-active-ingredient cream formula meant to target and support the health and appearance of the delicate skin around the eyes.
Tretinoin is a prescription-strength retinoid and is a derivative of vitamin A. Tretinoin has been found to increase healthy cell turnover which may help reduce the appearance of fine lines, lighten dark spots, and improve acne. Tretinoin can be prescribed for acne, dark spots, fine lines, sun damage, improved skin texture and tone, or general skin appearance benefits.
The Strut Eye Cream works by combining the strengths of multiple active ingredients. Tretinoin in the formula works by increasing the rate of skin cell turnover, replacing old skin cells with new skin cells faster than usual. This rapid turnover can improve skin issues like acne, rough texture, scarring, dark spots, fine lines, and sun-damaged skin. Caffeine is used in this formula to help reduce puffiness under the skin of the eye, as an antioxidant, and may make the skin appear more firm while reducing the appearance of dark circles. Tacrolimus is a topical anti-inflammatory to help reduce any inflammation of the eyelids and surrounding tissue. Niacinamide is a B-Vitamin antioxidant used to potentially enhance skin firmness and elasticity. Chamomile Extract (Bisabolol) is a calming and soothing plant extract used to help depuff and reduce redness and irritation around the delicate eye area. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) is a potent antioxidant used to help brighten, reduce dark circles, and protect the skin from environmental stressors. Dimethylethanolamine (DMAE) is an innovative skincare ingredient that functions as an antioxidant as well as supporting the skin’s surface structure to make it appear firmer.
The Strut Eye Cream may start showing signs of skin improvements like smoothing, brightening, and plumping within the first weeks of treatment. The longer-term improvements in fine lines from the Tretinoin and consistent use may take longer, up to many months of treatment. Be patient with your results and use this cream as prescribed in order to get the best results from your treatment.
Some people experience side effects from using creams containing Tretinoin, especially when first starting out on the cream, or when increasing the amount you are using. The most common side effects of Tretinoin cream include: redness, peeling, burning, stinging, dry skin, or skin irritation. This is not a complete listing of the potential side effects of Tretinoin cream, just the most common side effects. Tacrolimus may contribute to skin sensitivity, feelings of warmth, skin tingling, and skin irritation or rash in some users. Let your doctor know if you experience signs of an allergic reaction when using any new product on your skin. Use sunscreen during the day while using this product since increased skin sensitivity to UV light will occur. Take a look at the more detailed safety information on the product page for more information.
Before starting on The Strut Eye Cream, you should tell your doctor a few key things. Let them know if you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or breastfeeding. Tretinoin and Tacrolimus in this formula should not be used during pregnancy as it can negatively affect the development of a growing baby. You should let your doctor know about any other medications you are using, health conditions you have including skin conditions, or other skincare treatments you have tried in the past or are currently using. Let your doctor know about other skincare items you are using, even over-the-counter products. Some over-the-counter products can contain non-prescription retinoids or be especially irritating when used alongside Tretinoin and the other active ingredients in this cream.
While you are using The Strut Eye Cream you will want to avoid a few things and pick your other skincare items very carefully. Avoid excess sun exposure when using The Strut Eye Cream as it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun and make you more prone to burning (always use daily sunscreen for this reason). Avoid using additional retinoid or strong products around the eye when you are using this prescription-strength cream to avoid the increased risk of side effects, even in over-the-counter products. Avoid overly drying or irritating skin care items like drying soaps and cleansers, alcohol-based products, harsh exfoliants, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or chemical peels.

The online doctor’s visits are typically complementary. With Strut, you will only pay for the prescription if you qualify after your medical consultation. If after checking out, the doctor identifies that you are not a good candidate for treatment, you will not be charged. If you decide to transfer your prescription at any time to a non-preferred pharmacy of Strut Health, then you will be charged a $40 physician consultation fee to your credit card on file. Customer service can provide additional details on our pharmacy network.
Your medication will be shipped to you via USPS from a U.S. compounding pharmacy. There is no additional cost for shipping.
You will want to apply your Strut Eye Cream at night. Start by washing your face and eye area with a gentle cleanser and water, then pat dry and allow your skin to fully dry. Apply a small pea-sized amount of your Strut Eye Cream in a very thin layer around the eye area, avoiding getting it in the eye or tear ducts. Since it is a small amount, a gentle patting or tapping application may be easier than rubbing it in. Wash your hands and allow the cream to soak in. Once the cream has had some time to soak in, follow with a gentle moisturizer to help with dryness. While you are using The Strut Eye Cream, it is recommended to wear sunscreen daily as your skin may be more sensitive to the sun. You should also be diligent about moisturizing your skin twice daily to help prevent and improve dryness and irritation that may develop with retinoid cream use.
You do need to wear sunscreen during the day when you are using The Strut Eye Cream. Although you will be applying the The Strut Eye Cream at night, your skin will still be more sensitive to sunlight during the day during the course of your treatment. This may mean you are more likely to burn than usual. For this reason, it is recommended to use an at-least 30 SPF sunscreen as part of your daily skincare routine. Wearing sunscreen daily is also a good way to amplify your efforts to reduce fine lines, prevent sun damage, and lighten discolorations.
The Strut Eye Cream is a compounded medication. It is made up in a lab at a U.S.-licensed compounding pharmacy according to a doctor’s prescription. The raw active ingredients are mixed into a pharmaceutical-grade copper-peptide-infused cream base, at the strengths prescribed. Every compounded medication is issued a beyond-use-date as dictated by compounding pharmacy rules. We cannot verify the potency or purity of medications once they pass this beyond-use-date, and products should not be used past this time.
It can be normal to experience low levels of redness, dryness, burning, stinging, or irritation of the skin while you are starting on a new product containing Tretinoin or other new active ingredients. This is more likely to occur at the start of treatment, or when increasing your usage or strength. You can take steps to help support your skin during this time by using gentle, moisturizing skincare products, wearing sunscreen, and avoiding harsh skincare products like peels, acids, alcohol-based formulations, and abrasive scrubs. If the irritation is severe or ongoing, contact your doctor for the next steps and recommendations.
Strut is qualified to help you find the right treatment for your needs. We are driven to improve the digital healthcare experience and our team is available to help you throughout the process.
