Is It Necessary To Use Eye Cream?

Do you need an eye cream? Ask a group of dermatologists and beauticians to weigh in, and you will definitely get conflicting answers.

Some experts insist that if you want to slow down the signs of aging, eye cream is indispensable (who isn't?!) but others say that this is just a marketing strategy, not much better than ordinary moisturizers.

So who is right? Is eye cream really necessary？

Why treat the eye area?

Before we start using anything, let's talk about why your eye area needs extra care.

The skin around the eyes is different from the skin on other parts of the face for the following reasons:

The skin of the eyelids and lower eyelids is the thinnest in the whole body, only 0.5 mm thick.

Dryer eyes: Unlike the forehead, chin, nose, and cheeks, the eye area has almost no oil glands, so it is easier to dry.

It is more sensitive: thin and delicate skin tends to be more sensitive. Even if you don't have sensitive skin on other parts, it is common for the eye area to be irritated when you come into contact with certain products or ingredients.

The eyes are the first place to show signs of aging: the skin around the eyes is under constant pressure due to facial expressions, squinting, and even blinking (we up to 28,000 times a day). The study also found that the deepest areas of wrinkles are where the oil glands are less concentrated-which is why crow's feet are the first typical sign of aging.

Puffy eye bags: Because the skin under the eyes is very thin, fluid retention is more obvious.

Also known as "milk spots," milia are tiny white bumps made of hardened keratin. They often occur around the eyes and are usually triggered by the use of thick creams.

Is there any difference between eye cream and face cream?

So, are eye creams and face creams the same thing? It's just a smaller jar and a higher price?

Not necessarily.

Face creams have one main purpose: to treat dryness by locking in the moisture in the skin and preventing moisture loss. However, they also often use active ingredients such as acid and vitamin C for other problems such as dull skin, pigmentation, or signs of aging. They also have a variety of textures, from light gels to heavy creams.

On the other hand, eye cream can only be used on the fragile skin around the eyes. Therefore, their formulations usually do not have the usual irritants, such as fragrance. Nonetheless, they usually contain active ingredients that fight crow's feet, puffiness, and dark circles-but in low concentrations. As for the texture, they are all different. Some eye creams are light in texture, non-greasy, and penetrate fast, while others have a rich texture and strong moisturizing effects.
