Full circle: The best products for the skin around the eyes
Text: Dasha Abramova
need or not need to start in the cosmetic bag a special tool for the skin around the eyes, everyone decides on the basis of personal experience and preferences. However, if you note for your skin a particular capriciousness and instant reaction to any effects, then it is better to be puzzled by the search for a good helper who will solve the usual problems of swelling, dryness and dark circles. At our request, Dasha Abramova, author of the Byebyeflaw telegram channel, chose ten proven products that will bring the skin around the eyes into a proper form.
Clinique Pep-Start Eye Cream
The tool from the new line of Clinique Pep-Start, launched on a wave of craze universal, multifunctional tools. If you leave out the ball applicator - another senseless variation on the roller for the eyes - this is a cool tool for those who do not like to understand the multistage care systems: it revives in the morning and also, if necessary, during the day and prepares the skin for makeup application.
Librederm Hyaluronic Cream for the skin around the eyes
The Russian brand Librederm has a large line of skin care products around the eyes. The most versatile of them is a cream with broad-acting hyaluronic acid. It fights swelling, tightens skin and brightens dark circles. Manufacturers recommend using it as an express mask: apply a thin layer, leave for a few minutes, and then blot the excess with a napkin. Owners of sensitive skin should pay attention to their own regenerating cream with cornflower.
L'Oréal Revitalift Triple Power Eye Treatment
Another remedy with hyaluronic acid, which strengthens the skin around the eyes and fights against puffiness, is from the Revitalift line. The cream is especially good for people with thin skin: after the application there is a feeling that the skin is covered with a dense matte protective layer. For application, a metal applicator is used, which is really like a magic that always stays cool regardless of storage conditions.
Clark's Botanicals Anti-Puff Eye Cream
Clark's Botanicals is a successful brand with a sad history. In 2002, tragedy occurred in the family of Dr. Harold Clark: his son Francesco, at that time the editor of Harper's Bazaar, was paralyzed, having received a spinal cord injury. Because of damage to the nervous system, he also started having skin problems. Unable to find a suitable care for himself, Francesco, together with his father, begins work on his own formulas. Like many brands created for themselves, Clark's Botanicals is notable for its stingy product line, simple care scheme and quality for which manufacturers are personally responsible.
This cream successfully fights both edemas and dark circles: the vitamin K contained in it normalizes the venous outflow and prevents the expansion of blood vessels, and caffeine has a drainage effect. Francesco himself says that he keeps the cream in the fridge, as his main problem is swelling in the morning. Well, it's all to talk about whether cosmetics are feminine and masculine.
Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado
The brand’s bestseller is beyond the age, season and standard categorization of skin problems around the eyes. Avocado oil in its composition is rich in fatty acids - it is they who best of all restore the skin's lipid barrier, which protects it from harmful substances. Very rich and dense, this cream is suitable for sensitive skin, instantly moisturizes, it is well wrinkled with primer and subsequent layers of cosmetics. As with many other means, this cream has a brief video instruction on Kiehl's channel.
Lierac Diopti
The line Diopti impresses first of all with the fact that it is clearly divided into categories, which is worth its weight in gold in our oversaturated cosmetics. For each cream: Diopticrème Anti-Wrinkles - anti-wrinkle, Diopticerne Anti-Dark Circles - against dark circles and Dioptigel Anti-Puffiness - against edema. Also in the series is Diopticerne Tinted - a cream that is almost identical in composition to Diopticerne, only with tone. By the way, Kiehl's has a similar tool called Clearly Corrective Dark Circle Perfector - a universal concealer that masks dark circles while caring for the skin.
Such a division today is almost uncommon in the beauty world: for a long time all the means for the skin around the eyes routinely promise to solve all possible problems at once, which is not always true. But the funds from this line are real honest laborers. Each costs about one and a half thousand rubles and copes with its task with a bang.
skyn ICELAND Icelandic Relief Eye Pen
Cream in the package, similar to concealer, the beautiful Icelandic brand skyn ICELAND. The feeling that the skin begins to tighten, appears, even if you just read the list of ingredients out loud: here you and Icelandic algae, and powder from cotton, and arctic cloudberries. For the final victory over dark circles and edema, you can periodically use their own patches: this is one of the few means from which the result is noticeable instantly.
Givenchy Hydra Sparkling Eye-Reviver Gel
The main feature of this tool, as well as by its name, is moistening. After applying, it is better to wait at least five minutes before embarking on makeup: during this time, the skin is fresh and tightened, as if glowing from the inside, and dark circles noticeably brighten.
MAC Fast Response Eye Cream
The tool, in general, absolutely corresponds to the name - this is a wrap for the case when the face needs to be brought to life immediately. Silicones for perfect smoothness and a lot of caffeine to relieve puffiness. But the long-term effect of it is not worth waiting for. Roughly speaking, such a cream can rather be attributed to makeup than to care. You can, for example, use it in the morning, and at night get something more serious.
Korres Wild Rose Eye Cream SPF 15
One of the best-selling Greek brand tightens the skin, struggles with crow's feet and pigmentation, and also protects against photoaging by UV-filters. The fruits of wild rose are known for their high content of vitamin C, which has an intensive regenerating effect on the skin, helps to fight mimic wrinkles and pigmentation. Among the many positive reviews of thanksgiving cream from allergies and people with sensitive skin.
Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Eye Gel
Thick, saturated gel with a complex composition and shimmering effect from the oxygen line Bliss (most of all, it is known for the mask, which begins to foam on the face - mostly, however, thanks to not the result, but visual special effects). Of the active ingredients, manufacturers emphasize primarily caffeine, which removes puffiness, and vitamin C as a powerful antioxidant. The gel is designed to fight with bags under the eyes, tighten the skin and refresh your eyes - it is best to get the last two points.
