Anti-wrinkle eye cream [TOP-6]: how to choose an anti-aging smoothing eye cream, a review of the best products from Vichy

When choosing a product, focusing on its age division is not always effective. The first changes in the skin around the eyes can begin at any age and they appear long before the external manifestations. Moreover, it also happens that a girl at the age of 16 wears glasses and squints a lot. As a result, already at this age she can see mimic wrinkles.

Unlike facial skin, the area around the eyes is not combination and basically has only one type – dry. The hydrolipidic film (skin protection) in this area is insufficient, so the skin here is often dehydrated and easily injured.

“Because of this particularity of the skin, eye care products tend to contain moisturizing agents. These are, for example, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, aloe extracts”, – Vichy medical expert Ekaterina Turubara.

It is also welcome to have:

• polyglycerides and algae extracts – along with hyaluronic acid, moisturize the skin;
• rhamnose – the substance promotes the production of collagen, and also makes the skin denser;
• antioxidants (vitamin C, E, resveratrol) – they will protect cells from destruction as a result of oxidative stress; 
• caffeine or other components with a tonic effect – they protect against the formation of swelling (the skin around the eyes is prone to the formation of bags);
• peptides and other substances that improve skin regeneration and enhance collagen synthesis in the skin.

• mimic wrinkles (may disappear after rest);
• lines of dehydration (also often disappear after rest, occur both in young and adulthood, affect only the epidermis and disappear after applying a moisturizer);
• deep wrinkles (always remain on the skin, regardless of external circumstances);
• bags or swelling;
• dull color or uneven skin;
• dark circles under the eyes. 

Aging cannot be avoided, but it can be visually delayed, and this is the optimal age to start correcting the signs of skin aging.

After 20 years, our body synthesizes less and less collagen (this is a filamentous protein that is responsible for the even structure, firmness and elasticity of the skin).

Deep changes in the tissues do not yet occur, the first age-related changes may occur in the epidermis and small blood vessels. As a result, the color and tone of the skin changes – it loses its radiance and smooth microrelief.

“Therefore, already at the age of 21-22, it is worth acquiring, for example, a moisturizing gel that will prevent moisture loss in the eyelids and directly under the eyes, and will also help to avoid mimic wrinkles for the next few years,” – Vichy medical expert Ekaterina Turubara.

At 25-27, you can start using anti-aging products. These can be light products with vitamins, antioxidants and plant extracts. This set will help to neutralize the effect of free radicals that destroy cells and provide optimal skin elasticity.

After 30 years, the process of renewal of the epidermis slows down, and the level of collagen becomes less and less.

“It is the lack of collagen that leads to the appearance of deep wrinkles. Therefore, products for the care of such skin may contain peptides, retinol, sugars or vitamin C”, – Vichy medical expert Ekaterina Turubara.

Special attention here deserves peptides, which are often used in cosmetics to correct wrinkles. They help the skin synthesize collagen to maintain skin elasticity. As a result of this action, wrinkles are smoothed out, and the skin becomes more even.

Rhamnose (a monosaccharide of plant origin) smoothes the skin, vitamin C and retinol serve as powerful antioxidants that protect the eye area from negative environmental influences and help it recover.

“For sensitive and allergy-prone skin, use retinol with caution. The substance acts quite actively, therefore, before use, it is necessary to conduct a sensitivity test or use milder versions of the component. The tool is recommended to be used strictly according to the instructions for use”, – Vichy medical expert Ekaterina Turubara.

During menopause, the level of collagen and elastin decreases significantly, as a result of which the skin becomes thinner and drier, wrinkles deepen, the first signs of eyelid ptosis (sagging) and pigmentation appear. At this point, taking care of the skin around the eyes should be especially thoughtful.

“It is important to use products that will help to increase the density of the skin and will have a high tonic effect. To achieve a tonic effect, pay attention to products with caffeine”, – Vichy medical expert Ekaterina Turubara.

Rhamnose will help to get rid of thinning of the skin and increase its density. As a bonus, the component will help to avoid the “transparency” of the skin, which leads to dark circles under the eyes.

Moisturizing balm that is suitable for young skin and serves as a make-up base.

As part of the balm, several active components act at once.

• Hyaluronic acid and glycerin have a moisturizing effect. 
• Caffeine relieves bags and dark circles under the eyes, thanks to its tonic effect, and promotes even distribution of moisture in the area around the eyes. 
• Thermal water is rich in beneficial minerals and promotes skin regeneration. 
• Carrageenan is a substance extracted from red algae, known for its firming properties. 

As a result of the action of all components, the skin around the eyes looks more even, rested and toned.
