Reasons to use an eye cream

The skin around your eyes is thinner, more delicate, and often the first area to show signs of stress and aging. That’s why an eye cream can be a smart addition to your routine: it’s made to soften, moisturise, and help protect this sensitive area, without feeling heavy or irritating. Below are our best tips for choosing - and using - the right one.

How to choose the right eye cream

Start by thinking about what you want help with most. Are you dealing with under-eye puffiness in the morning? Do dark circles make you look tired even when you’re not? Or are fine lines becoming more noticeable?

You can absolutely use different eye products morning and night to tailor your routine - a lighter and de-puffing in the morning, richer and smoothing in the evening.

Eye cream for dark circles

Dark circles can appear for several reasons. Because the skin is so thin, blood vessels underneath can become more visible. Genetics, lack of sleep, stress, age, and lifestyle factors can also contribute.

To help reduce the appearance of dark circles, look for:

• Light-reflecting pigments for a brighter look right away

• Strengthening ingredients that help support the look of fragile capillaries

• Brightening antioxidants, like vitamin C

You’ll find these benefits in Revitalising Eye Cream and Ultimate Eye Cream.

Don’t forget SPF: sun exposure can contribute to uneven pigmentation, which may make the eye area look darker over time.

Eye cream for under-eye bags and puffiness

We’ve all had those mornings. Puffiness can be linked to genetics, sleep, diet, medication, or simply a late night.

For a fresher, more awake look, choose an eye product with:

• Caffeine to help reduce the look of puffiness

• Cooling, lightweight textures for morning comfort

• Circulation-supporting ingredients that help the area look less swollen

Our Hydrating Eye Gel contains caffeine and helps the eye area feel tighter and more refreshed. Tip: keep it in the refrigerator for an extra cooling, de-puffing feel.

Revitalising Eye Cream and Ultimate Eye Cream also include ingredients that help counteract the look of swelling.

Eye cream for fine lines and wrinkles

Fine lines around the eyes are often one of the first visible signs of aging—and that’s completely natural. As we get older, collagen production slows down, elasticity decreases, and the skin can become thinner and drier, making lines more noticeable.

If your goal is to soften the look of fine lines, choose an eye cream that:

• Deeply moisturizes to plump the look of the skin

• Supports firmness for a smoother appearance

• Strengthens the skin barrier to reduce dryness over time

If you’re just starting to notice fine lines, in Revitalising Eye Cream is a great match. For more mature skin with deeper, more visible lines, we recommend Ultimate Eye Cream.

How to apply eye cream (the right way)

• Use a small amount (about a grain of rice per eye is usually enough).

• Gently tap the product in with your ring finger—don’t rub or pull.

• Apply along the orbital bone (under-eye area and outer corners).

• Avoid applying too much on the upper eyelid, which often has more natural oil production.

• Be consistent: use morning and evening for a few weeks to notice results.
