Eye Care Products and Product Ingredients

You may notice that the skin around your eyes is much thinner and more delicate than the skin on the rest of your face, in fact it is five to ten times thinner.

Before you buy any eye care products, first decide what you want from your eye products. Do you want to reduce eye circles, smooth fine lines or reduce puffiness? You can certainly get creams that do all of those things but first  knowing what you want your eye product to do helps you target specific problems which will help you get the best overall results.

A good eye products should be light weight and go on easily, if it's heavy it can puff up your skin and worse yet, clog your pores, so keep it light ;-)

If you're trying to decide between an eye cream and eye gel or serum, I would suggest sticking with an eye cream. A rich eye cream offers better moisturizing benefits. The more moisturized the eye area is, the softer and smoother it looks. 

Eye care Product Ingredients

Eye Care product Ingredients such as caffeine, alcohol, retinol, alpha-hydroxy acids, copper, and vitamin C. Caffeine and alcohol temporarily dehydrate skin, making it appear taut. Retinol, alpha hydroxy acids, copper, and vitamin C actually work under the skin to stimulate collagen growth. Because collagen supports the skin from within, stimulating its growth can, over time, firm the skin and smooth lines and wrinkles.

Ingredients such as vitamin K, kojic acid, and hydroquinone can help with dark circles under the eyes. Vitamin K has been known to inhibit bruising, and doctors suspect it helps to counteract dark shadows caused by too much blood flow and minor bruising under eyes.

Kojic acid and hydroquinone are skin-lightening agents, often found in bleaching and age-spot creams. 

Aim to keep the area around your eyes smooth and soft. Treat the areas of your eyes with care. Never rub excessively and remove makeup gently.

I still use eye creams at night simply for the way it makes my eyes feel. A good eye care product will also soften the skin around my eyes and give a soft appearance, which is what I like.
