Product Information

Laughter and smiling are excellent for the soul, but they really tug on the skin by the eyes. As such, fine lines around the eyes are often the first sign of ageing. Eye cream helps to lessen the appearance of them through hydration. There’s no magic cream out there which will completely eradicate fine lines – and we don’t believe they should be eradicated, as they bring character and are a natural part of getting older. But good hydration will bring a fresher and brighter appearance. 3. Protect from the elements One of the most important things in any skincare product is its ability to provide a lasting impact. Nourishing ingredients like Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and peptides strengthen skin at a cellular level to increase overall healthiness and protect against future damage and irritation. Due to the sensitive nature of under-eye skin, using eye cream can make a world of difference. 2. Minimizes Dark Spots and Circles Puffiness is a buildup of fluid and blood under the eyes. Some studies show that caffeine can help circulation, which could reduce puffiness. Other studies show that cold temperatures are just as effective to treat puffiness. That's why some people refrigerate their eye creams.

Eye creams are bang on trend, but why? Perhaps it’s because we’ve finally woken up to the reality that you can’t take a one-size fits all approach to your facial skincare, and that maybe, just maybe, our grandmothers knew a thing or two when they focused on their eye area morning and night. As you may have guessed, eye cream is a type of moisturizer used specifically around the eyes. Its primary purpose is to hydrate and nourish the thin, delicate under-eye skin. Many people also use eye cream to alleviate signs of aging, such as wrinkles, dark spots, dark circles, and undesired puffiness. What’s in an Eye Cream? You want to dab eye cream below the eye along the top of the cheekbone. Then very gently blend it using a tapping motion, without getting too close to the eye itself. We find using our metal eye roller is the best way to use our eye cream for deeper absorption. Plus the cooling and soothing effect the eye roller gives will also help with boosting circulation and improving skin tone, texture and facial tension! Alternatively, you can use your ring finger. When you’re looking for an eye cream, first figure out what you want the product to do. Do you want to decrease under-eye circles? Are you looking for a product that depuffs? Your skin acts as a protective barrier between you and various external elements, from pollution to makeup. Eye cream helps ensure that your skin can do its job. 4. Targeted hydration

What to look for in an eye cream

Your eyes are the focus of much of the ageing process on your face. They also have thinner skin which does a fabulous job of showing up when you’re run down or haven’t had enough sleep. As the area most likely to get puffy, dry and be most sensitive, it follows that this area needs a little extra TLC. Why should you use eye cream?

We chose to use maple bark extract for its protective and anti-inflammatory properties, perfect for reducing puffiness around the eyes. Through high levels of ellagic acid, it boosts collagen production and strengthens the sensitive skin in this area. We’ve also incorporated cucumber extract, rich in Vitamin C to hydrate the skin and aid tired and puffy eyes. Lastly, we use repurposed coffee grounds to brighten the skin, reducing the appearance of dark circles. Using a natural eye cream is a great way to rejuvenate the skin around your eyes, skin not usually cared for with regular moisturizers. While the specific benefits will vary depending on the product, below are a few common advantages you can expect from the regular use of eye cream. 1. Promotes Healthier Skin This easy-to-use, volumizing brow pencil combines fibers AND powder, attaching to existing hairs to build depth & dimension and creating lightweight volume. The result? Fuller-looking brows that look soft, natural and last all day! Includes spoolie for effortless blending. Caffeine– Caffeine isn’t limited to your morning coffee. It’s also great for the skin, restricting blood vessels to minimize dark circles and puffiness under the eyes. Reviewers love the included applicator and say the cream reduces swelling. Many also mention how hydrating the cream is and how luxurious it feels.

La Mer skin care products are considered the holy grail of boutique brands for many beauty enthusiasts and celebrities. As with every La Mer product, the main ingredient in this cream is what they call Miracle Broth, a fermented mixture of sea kelp, vitamins and minerals, citrus oil, eucalyptus, sunflower seed, wheat germ, and alfalfa. There are no parabens, phthalates, or sulfates. This is the big benefit to eye cream! Wrinkles, fine lines and crow's feet are a natural part of the ageing process, but using an eye cream regularly will significantly reduce their appearance. Although we use gentle and sensitive cream for face skin anyway, the eye area is even more fragile. If you think about it, problems such as dark circles and crow's feet aren’t as common on the rest of the face. So it’s easier to target these skincare concerns with an eye cream–rather than a broader cream.

Fine lines and wrinkles come from both sun damage and your skin making less collagen as you age. Collagen helps maintain skin's elasticity. Vitamin C, peptides, and retinol have boosted collagen production, studies of skin creams show. Ceramide and hyaluronic acid also help; these are moisturizers that help prevent water loss in the skin and improve elasticity. An eye cream will firm and smooth any loose skin you have in that area. The skin around your eye is extra thin, and requires specialist care to remain youthful and elasticated.The microbladed look made easy! Brow Microfilling Pen creates the illusion of natural brow hair with 3 ultra-fine lines in a single stroke. It's designed to blend in with existing hairs, fill in gaps AND make brows appear where before there were none. The easy-to-apply formula of this brow pen looks natural whilst creating a microbladed effect that lasts! No pain, no commitment, just great brows! There are lots of benefits of using eye cream. These can be boosted according to the individual eye cream that you choose. Our best recommendation is to use an eye cream that includes hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic eye cream benefits are becoming more widely known, and can really make a difference to the skin around the eyes. We’ll include these benefits below: 1. Minimise dark circles Beyond these primary benefits of eye cream itself, we recommend that you choose your eye cream based on its specific composition.

As with most cosmetics, avoid over-application of eye cream. Using too much eye cream can clog your pores and cause milia (little white bumps); plus, an excess of product may drip into your eyes and cause irritation.

Can eye cream reduce dark circles?

From hydrating powerhouses to bag-reducing formulas, Vogue rounds up the best eye creams for your individual needs. As for when in life to use eye cream, most people won’t really need it until they’re in their 30s or late 20s. Eye creams provide essential moisture and nourishment to the skin—and while these are things necessary for people of all ages, it’s only in those who have begun showing more signs of aging that it’s as beneficial.
