Some people advocate using creams and serums to address concerns around the eye area, such as dark circles, puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles, redness and irritation. The severity of these issues depends on an individual’s skin condition. On the other hand, some believe that eye creams and serums are just expensive versions of moisturisers. In short, the question “Is eye cream necessary?” can be answered with “No.” However, individuals with specific eye-related skin concerns may benefit from using eye creams and serums to improve the appearance of the eye area. If you consider your eyes to be a window to the soul, it’s important to take good care of the skin around them.
The under-eye area, unlike the rest of our face, is notoriously thin and one of the most delicate parts of the body. This delicate skin is among the first to show signs of ageing, as most dermatologists agree. Studies have shown that the under-eye area has fewer oil glands and less collagen compared with other areas of the face, making it more prone to dryness, sagging, lines, and wrinkles. This lack of oil glands also contributes to decreased skin density, which explains why crow's feet are a conmon concern.
Imagine the skin on your face as a brick wall, strong and resilient. The under-eye area, in contrast, is like a delicate, three-ply tissue-extremely thin and prone to tearing. As we age, our body produces less collagen and retains less moisture, further thinning these delicate layers. This decline contributes to a variety of concerns, with fine lines being the most common.
