What’s the point in eye cream?

According to Vivant Skincare, because the eye area is so delicate and easily damaged, using eye cream, avoiding the sun and not smoking are some of the most important things women can do to avoid looking older. Many experts question the importance of eye cream and speculate that it isn’t necessary as a separate step in your beauty routine, but here are some reasons why they may not be right in their assertions.

So what’s the rationale for using eye cream?

It may seem like eye cream is not much different from moisturizers that are used on the rest of the face. Using moisturiser may seem sufficient to keep the eye area from wrinkling or puffing; however, eye creams do have some differences that make them worthwhile.

Many moisturisers caution users to avoid the eye area when using. Moisturisers can contain chemicals that may be harmful to the eye area and many contain fragrances and preservatives that can irritate eyes as well. Eye creams are specifically formulated to be used in the eye area, making them safer and more beneficial.

Some eye creams have stronger ingredients and work better than a moisturizer can. Eye creams are also formulated to reduce puffiness and dark circles, while moisturizers need to handle the entire face and are less specialised.

Dr. Hauschka Daily Hydrating Eye Cream is a moisturising eye cream suitable for all skin types. The thin, delicate skin around the eyes is particularly sensitive and prone to wrinkles caused by dryness. The daily hydrating eye cream reduces the appearance of wrinkles and refines the area around the eyes so it looks and feels soft, supple and smooth. This moisture-rich product offers daytime care to all skin conditions.

The combination of rose distillate, pineapple, marsh mallow and calendula provide a cream that is refreshing, hydrating and calming. Highly nurturing, premium-quality avocado, macadamia nut and sea buckthorn oils soothe the eye area and leave it feeling relaxed and smooth.
