QUESTION: How to care for the skin around the eyes?

Answer

The skin around the eyes is particularly gentle, thin, and completely devoid of sebaceous glands, which is why it ages the fastest and requires delicate care. Special creams have been developed for this sensitive zone, featuring a lighter and more balanced texture compared to products for the entire face, so as not to overload the tissues.

Applying any products to the periorbital area must be done with extreme care, avoiding strong stretching of the skin. It is best to distribute the cream with light patting movements using the ring finger, as it has the least muscle strength and will not accidentally injure the delicate epidermis.

Specialized active ingredients are selected to combat common aesthetic problems:

Caffeine — greatly helps reduce morning puffiness, improves blood microcirculation, and fights dark circles under the eyes.
Retinol — effectively smooths expression lines and stimulates collagen production, but such products must be used with utmost caution, starting with minimal concentrations to avoid irritation.

An equally important aspect of care is protecting the thin skin around the eyes from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays. Sunlight provokes premature aging and the appearance of pigmentation, so during the daytime, be sure to use sunscreen or special glasses with UV filters.
