ELLE Singapore|September 2019
If a $740 eye serum was designed to treat all the signs of ageing around the eye area, can we finally put off eye-lift surgery?

Can A $740 Eye Serum Replace Eyelift Surgery?

As someone with a naturally olive skin tone, the dark circles around my eyes have been a problem for me for as long as I can remember. Even in my teens, the tell-tale panda rings made me look perpetually tired and unhappy — even when I wasn’t — and yes, I’ve been mastering the

#RBF even before it became a thing. Dark circles under the eyes are, unfortunately, a hereditary condition; excessive melanin deposits and low levels of collagen contribute to this sunken, exhausted look. I had already started using a concealer stick at the age of 14, it was my perpetual companion, touching up my under-eye like how my girlfriends would, their lips with lip balm. However, cosmetics can only do so much, and as I am approaching my 40s now, you would think that I’ve come to terms with these panda-like eyes, but nope — it has always been an on-going problem that I have yet to fully address.

Our eyes are indeed the windows to our soul; it is the most expressive and the skin around them is the most delicate on our face. The eye area is also considered one of the most sensitive because it includes 22 muscles, which are constantly active (except when we are asleep) and has thinner skin, thus any lines and wrinkles appear more obvious when compared to the other areas of the face. It’s easy to underestimate the amount of work our eye muscles put in everyday, but it is actually one of the hardest working ones in our body. In any given day, we blink an average of 10,000 times, and in a week? Approximately 70,000 times!
