Vichy cream for bags under the eyes

Hello, my dear readers! I know that many of you are looking for the perfect product for delicate eyelid skin. Of course, each brand can boast of something of its own. But today I want to tell you what Vichy eye cream is + I’ll provide reviews.

I have already written in detail about Vichy Ideal cream for dark circles. In this same article I wanted to tell you about the most, most effective remedy. But it turned out that there are several types of them. Each of them has a specific purposeful effect.

The main problem that skin faces over time is dehydration. And all because the barrier function of the epidermis is disrupted. And even if you had oily skin in your youth, dryness may appear over time. Fortunately, there are products for the skin around the eyes from Vichy. They not only moisturize thin skin, but also smooth out wrinkles. I will go through each product in detail, describe the active ingredients, how to use it and reviews from those who have tried it.

For eye contour SUPREME

This cosmetic “miracle” for the eyelids perfectly helps against wrinkles + copes wonderfully with swelling and bluish circles under the eyes. It nourishes the delicate skin of the eyelids and softens it.

SUPREME, cream care for the skin around the eyes, Vichy

Vichy Liftactive SUPREME is a hypoallergenic product. It contains no parabens or other harmful additives. This cream can be safely used even when caring for sensitive skin.

Main components of natural origin:

1. 5% rhamnose - monosaccharide of plant origin. This component has a positive effect on dermal resources. Ramnose is involved in the renewal of the epidermis. Produces elastin and collagen, which increases the density of the skin around the eyes.
2. Thermal - has strengthening and restorative properties. Read more about Vichy SPA thermal water in my article about Vichy thermal water.
3. Caffeine - this component has a drainage and tonic effect. Helps fight dark circles under the eyes.

Vichy Liftactive SUPREME is a non-greasy and non-sticky cream. It has a light, pleasant texture.

Apply this cosmetic product twice a day: in the morning and evening. Pre-clean your eyelids with a special cleanser, such as micellar water. Apply just a little bit at a time along the bone. Do not go into the moving eyelid.

Those who have tried this product on themselves have noted a positive result. The face became fresher and more well-groomed, and the skin became moisturized. Bags and bruises under the eyes disappear.

But some girls note slight itching and redness after using this cream. Essentially, it's an allergy. An unpleasant phenomenon, I agree.

I suggest you read the reviews yourself. They will tell you a lot.

Marishka: This is an amazing tool! I have tried so many things to combat dark circles under my eyes and wrinkles. This cream is better than all the others. It really works. Within a month, my skin became like that of a twenty-year-old. And this despite the fact that I’m already 35!

Nastya: My eyelids stopped swelling, the bruises disappeared, and my crow's feet smoothed out. In general, I have very sensitive eyes. As soon as I smear myself with something, an allergic reaction immediately occurs. But this cream is just super.

On my own behalf, I also want to advise you something. Do not apply cream to the delicate skin around your eyes before going to bed. Apply the product 1, or even better, 2 hours before bedtime. Otherwise you will get swelling. This has been verified from my own experience 🙂

So if you apply cream to your eyelids 5 minutes before bed, don't complain. The next morning it may even feel like you spent the night in a hive with angry bees 🙂 Yes, the product only works if it is used correctly. Otherwise, the cream will nourish not the skin, but the pillow. By the way, you will find my article useful on how to properly apply eye cream.

Serum Serum 10

How is this tool different? It not only smoothes out wrinkles, but also moisturizes delicate skin + helps strengthen eyelashes. Serum 10 copes even with deep wrinkles, so it can be used even after 40 years.

Serum for a youthful look, Vichy

According to the manufacturer, after a month, visible wrinkles are smoothed out by 27%. And the eyelashes are restored.

Vichy Liftactive Serum 10 is the only product that can be applied to the moving eyelid

According to reviews, many girls use it after eyelash extensions. My dears, I have not tried eyelash extensions myself. But I realized that this remedy works well.

This serum contains no parabens. The following active components are present here:

1. 10% rhamnose - stimulates the production of your own elastin and collagen. Due to this, the density of the skin increases;
2. Ceramides - in fact, it is intercellular “cement”;
3. Hyaluronic acid — this component moisturizes the skin and helps accelerate collagen synthesis;
4. VICHY SPA thermal bath - has a calming, restorative and strengthening effect;
5. Reflective particles — they give the look youth and openness.

The cosmetic product can be used even when caring for sensitive skin. It is hypoallergenic. The serum has been tested and this product is absolutely safe.

Use Serum 10 twice a day. Apply to thoroughly cleansed eyelid skin. Squeeze a small drop of serum onto your fingertip. Close your eye. Apply to entire surface. Do not stretch the skin under any circumstances. Movements should be light and gentle: from the inner corner of the eye to the outer. Then use your index fingers to slightly lift your eyelashes (make it look like you're curling them).

On top of this serum you can apply Vichy LiftActiv Retinol HA. Eye contour cream perfectly combats bags under the eyes and dry skin. Let me remind you once again about the time of application - it is better to apply the product a couple of hours before bedtime. Then the wrinkles will disappear, the eyelashes will be transformed, and the look will become radiant.

What do those who use this product say? I suggest you read some reviews.

Yana: I apply this serum daily, but not twice a day, but only once. I alternate this product with Vichy Idealia. I'm satisfied with the effect. In general, I really like Serum 10 serum. It has a soft gel-like texture. The product applies very well and there is no greasy feeling left after application. And what eyelashes I have now! I never dreamed of such things)))

Marusya: This is the second time I have ordered this miracle product. For me this is a real find. After eyelash extensions, this serum helped me a lot. The eyelashes were completely restored within a month. I also like that it doesn’t sting my eyes.

Lina: I have been using Vishy Liftactive SERUM 10 relatively recently. But I noticed that the condition of my eyelashes and eyelids had improved. Even my husband saw improvements))

Aqualia Thermal Awakening Balm

This product moisturizes delicate skin, helping to get rid of dark circles and bags under the eyes. The balm will make your look rested and fresh. Aqualia Thermal also has an anti-edematous effect.

Judging by the statement of the Vichy brand, the balm can be used from the age of 25. But there is no upper limit. Essentially, this product is recommended based on the biological condition of the skin.

The skin around the eyes is very thin and highly sensitive, so swelling in this area appears much earlier than in other areas of the face. Eye skin care products help to quickly remove blemishes, reduce puffiness and eliminate dark circles. The remedies listed below effectively combat cosmetic defects, but will not help if the problem is associated with serious diseases of the internal organs.

If the water-electrolyte balance of the human body is disturbed, edema appears. They most often occur on the face, especially under the eyes. The skin here is very thin, the subcutaneous fat is loose, and there are no sebaceous glands. This is where fluid is most often retained, which is what causes bags under the eyes to appear.

Any swelling indicates the accumulation of excess fluid between cells or in internal organs. Swelling on the face becomes noticeable when about three liters of excess fluid have already accumulated in the body. This phenomenon may be a consequence of a malfunction of one or more organs.

There are a number of reasons that cause facial swelling:

1. heart pathologies;
2. changes associated with age;
3. drinking drinks in the evening or before bed;
4. infectious diseases;
5. lack of sleep;
6. diseases of the nervous system;
7. tears;
8. reaction to allergens;
9. surgery on the eyes or face;
10. nasal diseases;
11. hormonal disorders;
12. blows and bites;
13. difficulty in the outflow of blood and lymph;
14. hereditary predisposition to the appearance of edema;
15. severe eye strain or fatigue;
16. diseases of the kidneys and excretory system;
17. frequent consumption of salty or spicy foods.

When choosing a cosmetic product for puffiness under the eyes, you should pay attention to its composition. An effective remedy includes:

1. hyluuronic acid;
2. collagen;
3. healing herbs;
4. elastin;
5. caffeine;
6. vitamin E;
7. seaweed.

The main thing, dermatologists remind, is that the cream does not contain components such as parabens, mineral oils, animal fats, fragrances and dyes. They not only harm the delicate skin around the eyes, but can also negatively affect the condition of the body as a whole, as they tend to accumulate in tissues and internal organs. The leader in the production of all-natural cosmetics is the Russian company Mulsan Cosmetic. All its products are manufactured in strict accordance with modern standards and have received certificates confirming their safety. We recommend visiting the official Mulsan online store. ru where you can choose cosmetic products that are ideal for you, which will give you healthy skin and help you stay young and beautiful for a long time.

Causes of bags under the eyes

Swelling tends to appear in the morning. © L'Oreal Paris

The skin of the eyelids has a number of physiological characteristics, due to which it tends to accumulate fluid, which is visually expressed in puffiness.

Dense vascular and lymphatic networks, which supply tissues with fluid. In case of slow blood circulation, the fluid stagnates.

Loose subcutaneous tissue, creating conditions for accumulation and stagnation of liquid.

Low collagen and elastin content. For this reason, the skin around the eyes easily stretches, unable to withstand the pressure of swelling. Hence the bags under the eyes.

Small thickness. The skin of the periorbital zone is six times thinner, for example, the skin of the cheeks. With a tendency to stagnation of fluid, an unbearable load falls on it.

As we know, swelling tends to appear in the morning. With age, it becomes more and more difficult to “open” your eyes after a night’s sleep.

It has been established: the larger the eyes, the more likely the tendency to edema in adulthood, because the area of ​​fluid accumulation is larger. However, you can fight for beauty.

First, you should analyze your eating and behavioral habits in order to eliminate everything that could cause fluid stagnation. The main enemies are known.

Salty foods in the evening and at night. Salt retains liquid, so adding canned cucumbers or nuts to your evening menu is a bad idea.

A glass of tea or a glass of alcohol before bed. Both provoke fluid stagnation, and it is impossible to stimulate lymph flow and blood circulation at night when you are motionless (flying in a dream does not count).

Poor drinking regime. To ensure systemic removal of fluid from the body, you need to drink 1.5–2 liters of water per day.

Sedentary lifestyle. Do you want your eyes to not swell? More movement! Walking briskly is one of the best ways to relieve swelling.

Poor quality sleep. Sleepless nights have never been good for your appearance, especially your eyes, the fatigue of which is expressed in the appearance of swelling and bags.

Sleeping with your face in your pillow. This situation impairs the free flow of lymph and blood. So don’t be surprised in the morning by a rumpled face and slitted eyes.

Wrong cream. Incompetent care for the area around the eyes never ends well.

Features of the cream

One of the best remedies for puffy eyes is a cooling cream or gel for the skin around the eyes. © L'Oreal Paris

Creams for bags under the eyes, like any products for the periorbital area, should first of all moisturize and not provoke fluid stagnation. To accomplish this task they are required to:

have a light texture;

spread easily so as not to stretch the skin.

The direct fight against bags and swelling is carried out by:

improving local blood circulation;

Often, eye bag remedies are equipped with a massage tip or roller applicator made from alloys with low thermal conductivity. The metal applicator cools the skin, reducing swelling.

Cream composition

Perhaps the most important components of creams for bags under the eyes are moisturizing ones. In second place are lymphatic drainage, stimulating microcirculation. In formulas aimed at combating puffiness, different components can be used, for example:

caffeine, cornflower and licorice extracts;

menthol, mint, their derivatives (racementhol, mentoxypropanediol).

How to choose

The older we get, the more demanding the skin around the eyes becomes. While the eyelids suffer only from morning swelling, a light moisturizing gel with lymphatic drainage properties and a cool applicator is enough. If the skin's strength begins to deplete, it will need a cream with a firming effect and antioxidants.

Typically, eye products aimed at correcting wrinkles and tightening the skin contain drainage and microcirculation-stimulating components, since bags under the eyes and swelling are often an age-related problem.

Rules of application

When caring for the area around the eyes, do not forget that the skin here is very thin, vulnerable, and quickly loses elasticity and firmness.

Apply the cream only to clean skin twice a day.

As a “working tool”, use the ring finger of your hand - the most “delicate”. If you have an applicator, use it.

Movements should be light - smoothing or patting.

There is no need to put much pressure on the skin or stretch it, since this is a cream not for massage, but for care,” warns Garnier dermatologist expert Marina Kamanina.

The cream is applied along lines that coincide with the physiological routes of lymph movement:

from the center of the face to the periphery;

above the upper eyelid - from the bridge of the nose to the temple; under the lower eyelid - from the temple to the bridge of the nose;

on the border with the moving eyelid - lightly pressing movements, as if blotting the skin with fingertips.

An evening skin care session should take place two hours before bedtime. If you take a horizontal position immediately after applying the cream, the moisturizing components of the eye product will retain water and can cause swelling.

Precautionary measures

If you are prone to puffiness, avoid dyes and fragrances in products for the area around the eyes - they can aggravate the problem. Apply rich creams with a high concentration of active substances 1.5–2 hours before bedtime. And be picky - give preference to products from a trusted brand.

Due to physiological and hormonal reasons, men's skin is denser than women's and ages more slowly. But men are not spared from potential bags under the eyes and puffiness. Moreover, male representatives are ready to pay attention and spend their precious time on this problem. In men's cosmetic lines, which are not as extensive as women's, there is always an anti-puffiness cream for the eyelids. And this fact speaks for itself.

Men's eye creams are distinguished by:

higher concentration of active ingredients - men's skin is thicker and rougher than women's, even in such a delicate area as the eyelids;

more pronounced effect with a single use — men do not like to wait for the result to come, and without thinking twice they will refuse the product if they do not feel an immediate effect. That is why menthol is added to men's compositions, the effect of which is felt by the skin instantly.

Here are examples of exemplary creams for bags under the eyes that occupy the highest places in the popularity ratings among men:
