The answer is simply YES!!  The skin under your eye is the thinnest skin on your whole body and needs special treatment.  Ingredients in eye creams are meant to specifically target dark circles, puffiness, lines & wrinkles.  These concerns are not necessarily what you are addressing with your facial moisturizer. Ingredients in an eye cream are often different or in lower doses so not to irritate the delicate skin under the eye.

So when should you start using eye cream?  From teens to adulthood. If you are old enough to be concerned about the skin around your eyes then you are old enough to start using eye products.  You are aging every day and should be using anti-aging products every day. At the very least a product to protect from free radical damage.

Derma MD Defy – Eliminate Eye Crème is formulated with a powerful combination of highly active ingredients targeting dark circles, puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles including crow’s feet.  This product is good for any age and any skin type. Powerful Soybean and Rice Bran Proteins improve microcirculation and blood flow to reduce unsightly dark circles so you look well rested and youthful.

Non-Surgical Eye Lift is formulated to lift the upper eyelids and reduce sagging under the eyes.  The Persian Silk Tree Extract & Darutoside will help build collagen to firm and tighten the delicate skin around your eyes including the eye lid.  This is a great product for people with thinning eyelids resting on the base of their lashes and say they are in need of a blepharoplasty.

Tips for Fresher looking Eyes:

1. Use a quality eye cream daily with anti-aging ingredients.
2. Wear sunglasses while in the sunlight to avoid squinting.
3. Avoid smoking.
4. Take Care when removing eye makeup – no tugging, pulling or rubbing
5. Use a sunscreen if your serums or creams do not contain sunscreen. Ultra Shield SPF 30 is light enough to use around the eye area over your eye cream.
