Eye Creams & Eye Care

Eye creams are formulated for the delicate under eye area, and can have ingredients that regular face moisturizer does not have. It’s a good idea to add them into your skincare routine if you have specific concerns for your eye contour area. Look into a product that can address your specific eye care concern. For instance, an eye cream for dark circles helps brighten up the appearance of the bags under eyes. The best under eye cream for puffy eyes has ingredients that help reduce the appearance of swollen eyes.

There are also anti-aging eye creams that target the delicate skin area to help prevent the appearance of wrinkles, or eye creams for wrinkles that are formulated to address the fine lines and wrinkles around the eye contour. Since the skin around the eye is different from the rest of your face, these skincare products are formulated to work well around the eyes.

There is no best moment to apply your eye cream during your skincare routine. However, keep in mind that eye creams tend to be thin in consistency, so it is usually better to apply your eye cream as an early step. The eyes are extremely sensitive, so use clean fingers before applying anything near the bags under eyes. The best eye cream tip is to use your ring finger to gently pat the eye cream underneath your eyes until it is fully applied into the skin. The ring finger is the weakest out of all your fingers, so you can pat and apply without exacerbating your puffy eyes.

Eye cream works best underneath your eyes. The eyelids themselves are very thin and delicate, so to practice good eye care, avoid applying directly on the eyelid. Focus your eye cream mainly on your under eyes and wrinkles.
