The skin around your eyes tends to be drier and more delicate than the rest of your face. While some issues are hereditary, like under-eye bags, many topical remedies can smooth lines, brighten the under-eye area, and reduce bags and puffiness. While it may be tempting to use your existing facial moisturizer around your eyes, it’s best to opt for a specifically designed eye cream or gel to slow down the signs of aging and reduce the risk of irritation.

Eye-area skin doesn’t have as many oil glands and collagen as the rest of your face and body, making it more prone to dryness, droopiness, lines, and wrinkles.

Treat Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Go for a retinol or a peptide-packed eye cream. Retinol helps with overall texture and goes deeper into skin structures to revitalize wrinkles and improve the appearance of fine lines. Great examples are Retinol Fusion PM Eye Cream and Peptide 21 Wrinkle Resist Eye Cream. Retinol is best used at night, while the peptide infused cream is ideal for day time.

Potent concentration of microencapsulated retinol complex at 1% helps bring a more youthful appearance to the delicate eye area.Microencapsulated Retinol delivers a gentle, sustained release of potent Retinol over eight hours to help diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles, increase the look of skin smoothness and reduce the appearance of darkness due to pigmentation.

Packed with 21 Peptides and Neuropeptides, 2 Gamma Proteins, 5% Regu^®-Age and 3% Reforcyl^®, Peptide 21 Wrinkle Resist eye cream visibly helps improve the look of crow’s feet, fine lines, deep wrinkles, darkness and puffiness.

Puffy Eyes

Water retention may be due to high blood pressure. Consult your doctor if you suspect that is the cause. Otherwise, cold compresses will help reduce puffiness. Camomile tea bags from the fridge are very useful. We find Sothys Anti-Puffiness Cryo Roll to be very effective, especially if kept in the fridge before use. The product has been formulated to visibly combat puffiness and signs of fatigue around the eyes. The new product has 3 rollers, making it fast and very effective in reducing puffiness.

Dark Circles

Sometimes due to lack of sleep, dark circles may also be due to a genetic trait. They are hard to eliminate completely, but can be reduced by using topical products containing caffeine or Vitamin K which improve microcirculation. A good example is Sothys Dark Circle Eraser.

To use, gently apply a small amount of the Dark Circles Eraser to the cleansed skin around the eye area, using your ring finger. Gently pat and massage the product until fully absorbed. Use it morning and evening as part of your skincare routine or as recommended by your skincare professional.

The Dark Circles Eraser is dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, and formulated without parabens, making it suitable for most skin types.

When focusing on Eye Skin Care, treat fine lines and wrinkles with an eye cream, while puffiness and dark circles respond better to gels.

Treating the eye area separately from the rest of the face is a very good idea because the skin around the eyes is much thinner and has less oil glands, making it more prone to wrinkles and fine lines. Eyes Skin Care needs specially formulated products with high concentration of active ingredients.
