Top creams for the skin around the eyes

To prolong youth, reduce wrinkles and give the skin a glow, it is not at all necessary to resort to cosmetic tightening or lifting procedures. Eye cream can, in a short time without any additional products, improve turgor and normalize collagen synthesis in tissues. As a result, facial folds are smoothed out, the color of the epidermis is evened out and its density improves.

How to choose a good eye cream

When selecting cosmetic products, you need to take into account many factors: skin type, tendency to allergic reactions, properties of active ingredients. Based on this information, the pricing policy of the product, reviews and personal preferences, you can choose the ideal anti-wrinkle product.

Corrective eye cream

It is believed that the best eye cream must contain hyaluronic acid. It is a natural derivative of the body, hypoallergenic, and has a deep moisturizing and tightening effect. But the list of useful active substances used in cosmetics does not end with hyaluronic acid.

Active substances that are included in most effective eyelid wrinkle creams:

1. Vitamin A. If you choose a product with retinol in its composition, you can be sure that your skin will be nourished and tightened. But this vitamin has an unpleasant feature: it causes peeling of the skin. Therefore, it is preferable to use a product that also contains tocopherol;
2. Vitamin E. A gentle lifting ingredient that improves skin tone, reduces age spots and has moisturizing properties. Tocopherol is able to activate the production of collagen and elastane, but in the presence of deep wrinkles it is better if it is supplemented with amino acids;
3. Seaweed extracts. Ideal ingredients for oily and problematic skin with high sensitivity. Thanks to the huge amount of minerals and essential acids in the composition, such products are used to nourish mature skin, lift eyelids, and moisturize the area under the eyes. Many kelp products are also known for their cooling properties;
   
   
   
   Seaweed
4. Essential and base oils. It is very important to nourish and moisturize the skin under the eyes well. Oil substances do an excellent job of both of these functions. Particularly popular are fatty extracts of rice, shea tree, cocoa, coconut, and olive. From essential oils you need to highlight barberry, passionflower, lemon;
5. Plant extracts. Extracts from medicinal plants are great for dark circles under the eyes, dark spots, and fine wrinkles. Linen softens and smoothes the epidermis, passionflower normalizes metabolism and helps activate the production of collagen and elastane, ruscus is rich in unique nano-somas. In addition, extracts of chamomile, roses, rose hips, fruit plants, parsley, etc. are actively used;
6. Animal products. Nowadays, products based on caviar, crushed pearls, honey, snail mucus and other similar components are very popular. Such preparations for wrinkles and for restoring elasticity are very expensive, because they often contain a minimum amount of preservatives and a maximum of natural ingredients;
   
   
   
   Pearl extract
7. Synthetic compounds. These are all kinds of branded formulas. They can strengthen the tissue of the epidermis, improve its color and turgor and much more - depending on the purpose of the cream.

Naturally, these are not all possible components of eye creams, but most of these cosmetics are enriched with at least one of the listed ingredients.

Do not rub or stretch the skin around the eyes, but you can gently massage it.

Never apply care products to a mobile eyelid. There is only one exception - the direct recommendation of the manufacturer.

If you need to get rid of dark circles and puffiness, you can gently tap the skin with your fingertips - this technique is called “raining”.

Anti-aging cream is applied along the lines of least stretch of the skin - along the orbital bone, applying light pressure.

For a cooling effect, before use, you can keep the eye cream in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes or apply it with a cold spatula.
