Eye Creams Reviewed: How Well Do They Work?


One of the first places many people notice changes in their appearance is in the skin around the eyes. This is due to the fact that the skin in this area is extremely thin and delicate making it especially vulnerable to damage. Many of the changes to the skin in this area can be attributed to genetics and aging. As we get older our bodies produce less collagen decreasing the skin’s suppleness; additionally, elastin fibers loose their elasticity decreasing the skin’s ability to regain its form. Other factors contributing to the changes in the skin around the eye are environmental and include stress, sun exposure, as well as exposure to pollutants and other toxins. The damage sustained by the skin around the eyes can manifest itself as fine lines and wrinkles, also know as crow’s feet, as well as dark circles and puffiness. It is extremely important that we use preventative measures in protecting this vulnerable part of our faces, but for those of us who have not been historically diligent in this area we should use products for skin protection, as well as products specifically formulated to address our concerns.

Which eye cream products should you consider for your eyes?
Most experts agree that incorporating a premium quality eye cream is a vital part of any skin care regimen. According to Dennis Gross, M.D., clinician at New York University Medical Center, renowned dermatologist, and author of “Your Future Face”, “a high quality eye cream should be one of the necessary topicals in any anti-aging protocol.” Many eye cream products today are specifically formulated to be multi-taskers meaning they address the top concerns of consumers (fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles, etc.) in one formulation. Previously, consumers could be easily confused with the multitude of eye cream products available - each with its own treatment niche. This archaic approach of treating each skin issue with a separate product was extremely costly as well as a proving to be a time consuming proposition relative to one’s skin care routine. Fortunately today with advances in chemistry and formulation methods skin care manufacturers have the ability to produce high quality eye creams containing multiple ingredients that address the array of consumer concerns within one individual eye treatment.

Due to wide spectrum of topical eye cream treatments currently sold in department stores, in drugstores and on the Internet we here at Consumer Health Digest scrutinized the most currently marketed eye treatments and distilled the most current scientific research in order to assess which eye cream treatments were most effective. As the eyes are one of the most precious part of the body, one should not feel shy in spending a little more amount for this type of product. It's important to note, when applying an eye cream, only a small amount is necessary. About the size of a pea is more than enough for each eye. Always use your ring finger and apply with light patting motions inside the orbital bone (that’s the bone you feel surrounding your eye socket). Do not put it on eyelids or over-apply as irritation may occur. See below for the results of our evaluation.
