Using Dermalogica eye treatments both day and night can help smooth, firm and brighten the eye area in accordance with your body’s natural circadian rhythm.
I've put together a (rather long!) video about the subject - if you'd prefer a shorter overview please skip the video and read on ...
Here's my top 5.
This is a must for protecting the fragile under eye area from ravages of both chronological aging and photoaging that comes from UV rays, pollution, smoking, poor diet, stress and poor lifestyle choices. The SPF protects our skin against skin cancers.
Ensure you use a specific eye cream SPF 15 around the eye area, face creams will be too thick and will clog the delicate skin pores, creating blocked pores- Milia.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids are hydrating, firming and soothing, they reduce the appearance of puffiness and fine lines around the eye area. They also contain higher doses of vitamin C & E.
Neuropeptides are like retinol, they increase collagen and elastic production, but are much gentler on the skin. They instantly hydrate and firm the skin area.
Hyaluronic Acid is naturally made in the human body. Each molecule of hyaluronic acid can hold many times its weight in hydration. As we age especially with exposure to UV radiation the amount of Hyaluronic Acid decreases. In an eye cream this product smooths, plumps and makes skin look and feel supple. It reduces redness and skin irritation, and decreases dark shadows and puffy eyes.
These products contain contain soothing Vitamin B2 and Vitamin E to help shrink tiny blood vessels in the eye area. These antioxidants reduce inflammation and promote DNA Repair to help skin recover from UV damage, as well as reducing dark circles and skin irritability.
Retinol is a form of vitamin A which rejuvenates new cell growth, it also helps aging cells to slough off and be replaced by younger acing skin cells. It can be a little drying at first to the skin, but it restores collagen and elastin reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Use at night, as Retinol will make your skin more UV sensitive and ensure that an eye cream with an SPF is used during the day.
