As you get older, a separate moisturizer for your eye area becomes just as essential as a daily facial one. Top brands, such as SkinCeuticals and Obagi, have created these under-eye creams and eye moisturizers with rich oils, hyaluronic acid, and peptides to prevent moisture loss and diminish the visible signs of aging. At Dermstore, we've handpicked hydrating eye creams designed to revitalize tired eyes and care for delicate skin.
While introducing a dedicated moisturizer is the ideal step to help with mature skin around the eyes, dermatologists recommend incorporating this stage in your skin care regimen as early as your late 20s. By adding under-eye cream as part of your AM and PM routine at this age, you can lock in moisture, keep skin hydrated, and prevent the early signs of aging that make an appearance as you head into your 30s. The best place for eye cream is as a later step in your routine. This allows for any exfoliating acids or treatments to absorb into the skin. After your treatment, apply any oils before moving on to your eye cream and then your moisturizer.
When you apply cream under the eyes, make sure it's specially formulated for the area. Eye creams have been designed to contain the right balance of familiar skin care ingredients such as vitamin C and retinol. While these ingredients in other skincare products may not irritate the skin, applying standard serums and moisturizers to the eye area could overload the skin with strong actives, so a separate moisturizing eye cream is the perfect addition to your routine.
