Caffeine Eye Cream

enriched with caffeine- a natural antioxidant- that acts as a diuretic to relieve water retention: a leading cause of under-eye puffiness. it also protects against collagen breakdown while constricting the blood cells in the area to give a ‘lighter’ + ‘tighter’ appearance. .

brightening, restorative, & calming ingredients like turmeric, ginger, and cucumber inhibit the production of melanin & slow the aging process, while ingredients like vitamin e & hyaluronic acid fight free radical damage + provide an instant plumping, wrinkle- reducing effect. just because you’re tired doesn’t mean you have to look it! let’s phix that.

eye creams are a hotly debated topic. some call them glorified, repackaged, marked up face lotions. others say they’re an essential part of a skincare routine. who is right? well,both are technically correct.

let’s look at the first stance– basically just face lotion, rebottled. sadly with how predatorythe skincare industry is, this is often times the case. It comes down to ingredients, & notmany consumers have the time, knowledge, or motivation to sit down & researchingredient lists. i’d say 7 times out of 10, most eye creams are just a mix of moisturizerswith bold claims. don’t get me wrong, moisturizing the under eye area is vital! under theeye is actually the only place on our body that doesn’t have any oil glands, so to preventfine lines & wrinkles, we need to HYDRATE... but that can be done through a normal facelotion (squalane skin silk, helloooo <3)..

but in regards to the second stance- eye creams are vital? they definitely are whenyou’re looking to address specific concerns:puffiness&dark circles. most eye creams thatclaim to treat these are just lotions that will do nothing of the sort. to treat thesesymptoms that plague so many of us, you have to look for certain ingredients, namelyskin brighteners & vasoconstrictors. skin brightening agents like turmeric, ginger,niacinamide, & vitamin c work to give the skin a more youthful glow & are very effectiveat treating dark circles/spots. vasoconstrictors like caffeine work to reduce puffiness andredness. caffeine is an antioxidant + diuretic, meaning it relieves water retention thatcauses eye puffiness (a symptom of lack of sleep) & fights free radical damage +symptoms related to premature aging (wrinkles, fine lines, etc.). caffeine also constrictsthe blood vessels under the eyes: less blood = a brighter, less-red, vibrant appearance.

eye creams with humectants like hyaluronic acid &/or vitamin b5 are a plus, as theydeliver an instant soothing and smoothing effect by delivering mass amounts ofhydration to blur out any wrinkles you may have in the area.

eye treatments should be part of everyone’s routine when looking to address thosespecific concerns, so we took the mainstream eye creams & phixed them.
