Hi, there!

Today, I’ll help you choose the right under-eye cream/serum. It is a truly important cosmetic. You shouldn’t go for any drugstore product or get the one that your friend recommends. Remember, we’re all different. What works for your friend doesn’t have to work for you. Lots of ingredients of under-eye creams can cause skin irritation or dryness after longer use. There are many eye creams that contain conditioning substances yet don’t abound in the key ones that are so necessary for the delicate skin around eyes.

What Should You Search For in Under-Eye Creams?

Let me explain. When you shop for an eye cream, check if it contains:

• Vitamin A and E – so-called vitamins of youth. They make up the base for every ‘respectable’ facial cream, serum and even hair conditioner. They work intensively, preventing tissue ageing.
• Coenzyme Q10 – largely responsible for smoothing wrinkles and preventing new ones. The amount of coenzyme drastically decreases after we turn 30, therefore it so important to include it in the daily skin care.
• Natural Oils – their rejuvenating power is invaluable. Oils don’t only help smooth wrinkles and nourish the skin under eyes but also protect it from unfavourable weather conditions and slow down ageing processes.
• Sea Algae – the strongest antioxidants that nature has gifted us with. Algae are the secret weapon against wrinkles, include many skin rejuvenating ingredients, quickly enhance skin firmness and density, and smooth fine lines.
• Collagen – I can’t imagine a good eye cream without such an essential component. It keeps skin young, dense and firm, and improves cell functioning. Collagen restores skin cells and delivers elasticity.
• Hyaluronic Acid – a true elixir of youth. It keeps the skin smooth and firm. Thanks to the acid, the skin has a good level of moisture (one molecule can bind more or less 250 water molecules), which ensures the right work of tissues.
• Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) – provides skin with the protective barrier on its surface and doesn’t let cells lose their density. Panthenol gently moisturises the skin and keeps toxins from getting inside. It works like a shield against damaging weather conditions. Together with sunscreen, it can keep skin in great shape.

If you’re going to buy a good-quality under-eye cream or serum, make sure it contains these ingredients. It would be perfect if it included more than one of the rejuvenating substances. Enjoy your day! 🙂
