Why Eye Skin Requires Unique Attention
The skin around the eyes demands distinct care in comparison to other facial skin. The skin surrounding the eyes has thinner layers, possessing fewer oil glands and collagen fibres. Its reduced thickness leaves it more susceptible to UV radiation, environmental pollutants, and harsh skincare products.
Furthermore, the eye area is particularly vulnerable to fluid retention and puffiness, often caused by factors like inadequate sleep, excessive sodium intake, and genetics. Fluid accumulation can result in under-eye bags and a tired, swollen appearance.
Effective care for the skin around the eyes requires the use of specialised products formulated to address these specific concerns. Eye care products are designed to be gentle, hydrating, and lightweight to cater to the delicate nature of the skin.
Choosing Between Brightening Eye Cream or Anti Wrinkle Eye Cream
Specialised eye care products, such as brightening eye creams and anti-wrinkle eye creams, offer a range of valuable benefits for the delicate skin around the eyes.
Anti wrinkle eye creams contain active ingredients like retinol and peptides, which stimulate collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They also provide intense hydration, ensuring the skin remains plump and supple.
On the other hand, brightening eye creams contain ingredients like Vitamin C and antioxidants, which help diminish dark circles and reduce puffiness. They also enhance the skin's radiance, leaving the eye area looking revitalised and refreshed.
Other eye cream variants also exist to address specific concerns. For example, hydrating eye creams combat dryness and alleviate flakiness. Lifting eye creams improve skin firmness and resolve sagging skin issues. As for dark circle correctors, it reduces discolouration and even out the surrounding area’s skin tone.

FAQs
When should I start using eye care products?
Use eye care products as early as you can. The younger you are, the better your skin responds to eye creams and serums.
How do I choose the correct eye cream for my skin type?
For people with dry skin, opt for a richer, hydrating formula. Those with oily skin may enjoy lightweight, non-comedogenic variants.
Can I use my regular moisturiser as an eye cream?
There may be better options than regular facial moisturisers. Eye cream formulations tend to be gentler, making them more forgiving to the delicate skin around the eyes.
