Did you know you can tell a person’s age just by looking around their eyes, especially if they dont use any eye skincare products?

It is often asked, “Why use eye cream when I’ve already got a dedicated moisturizer?”

We’re glad you asked and we are here to explain what they are, why you need them and to go over the bounty of benefits of using eye cream. If the eyes are truly the window to the soul, then some of us have been neglecting the frames!

Why Do You Need Eye Cream Anyway?

• The eyes are the focus of much of the ageing process on our face.
• The skin around the eyes is thinner than our face, which means it can dry out more quickly and is more vulnerable to environmental aggressors.
• Constant movement from blinking and facial expressions contribute to the development of crow’s feet, fine lines and wrinkles.
• The eye area also has less sebum (oil) which is a natural moisturizer.

Benefits of Eye Cream

The use of eye cream will rejuvenate skin and give your eye area a youthful glow, even skin tone, lessen the appearance of dark circles and puffiness, prep skin for makeup, and strengthen and protect the under-eye area. It targets the delicate area under your eyes to hydrate, firm, brighten and soothe while preventing and combating common signs of aging. Everyone’s skin and goals are different, but eye cream is surely a vital part of a balanced, nourishing skincare routine. If you choose the right one, you will be able to give this area of your face the tender love and care it actually needs.

Let’s take a look at some of the best eye creams you can include in your skincare routine.

The Very Best Eye Creams for Eye Concerns

Now, let’s dive into the top 5 Eye Creams available for you in Nigeria.

1. Allies of Skin Peptides & Omegas Firming Eye Cream – Best for Firming
2. NIOD Fractionated Eye Contour Concentrate Serum – Best for Fine Lines & Wrinkles
3. The Inkey List Caffeine Eye Cream – Best for Puffiness
4. The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG – Best for Quick-fix
5. Facetheory Ocuwake Eye Cream – Best for Dark Circles

And here’s why

• Allies of Skin Peptides & Omegas Firming Eye Cream

Tailored to the delicate eye area, this high-performance formula is powered by peptides, 1% bakuchiol, vitamin C and a nourishing blend of omegas-rich oils to brighten and depuff the eye area, while targeting dullness, skin roughness and dark circles. Used daily, this innovative alliance helps firm the eye area by working on rhytides — fine lines and minor creases — and improving the appearance of wrinkles. It is infused with a cocktail of brightening ingredients to ease the signs of fatigue. A blend of omega-rich baobab, rosehip, argan and squalane oils then plumps the look of dehydration lines and leaves skin looking soft and dewy.

• NIOD Fractionated Eye Contour Concentrate Serum

NIOD’s Fractionated Eye Contour Concentrate features 15 advanced technologies for improving the appearance of the skin around your eyes. The 28 clinical ingredients target the hallmarks of weary eyes – including dark circles, puffiness and fine lines. Particularly notable on the all-star ingredients list are full-spectrum fractions of nature-identical hyaluronic acid (more effective than the salts of hyaluronic acid used in other topical skin care products) which hydrates and offers visible filling of wrinkles (both short and long-term) and improve elasticity. This fast-absorbing, non-greasy serum helps improve the appearance of discoloration under the eye area. It’s game changing for the eye to use this product in the long run!

• The Inkey List Caffeine Eye Cream

Like a double espresso for your (all too fragile) under-eye area, The Inkey List’s Caffeine Serum harnesses the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant powers of coffee to bring them to your skin. Soothing and protecting this delicate area of your face, Caffeine Serum helps to reduce puffiness, minimise dark circles and prevent the skin damage that can be caused by free radicals. As caffeine is a diuretic, it can help to relieve water retention, which can be a major cause of puffiness under your eyes. Also enhanced with renowned age-defying peptide, Matrixyl 3000, the formula helps to boost collagen production and so minimise fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes. Worthy of note is that this serum has additional hydrators and humectant which offsets caffeine dryness while removing inflammation in the under eye area.

• The Ordinary’s Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG

This a must-have miracle for tired eyes! The Ordinary’s Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG is a light-textured formula and contains an extremely high concentration of caffeine, supplemented with highly-purified Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside (EGCG) from green tea leaves. This product improves lymphatic drainage, removing some of the watery texture puffiness in the under eye area. It also helps with discoloration and dark circles, reviving and brightening the delicate skin around the eye. Caffeine is quick to act and you get a super instant fix with this product!

• Facetheory Ocuwake Eye Cream

This is a great product for those struggling with milia (white bumps under the eye). It is one of the few eye creams that contain an exfoliant- formulated correctly in a gentle concentration with amazing calming and soothing ingredients alongside. Facetheory’s Ocuwake Eye Cream is formulated with cutting-edge actives (vitamin C, ferulic acid, liquorice and chamomile) and incorporates the latest eye-beautifying technology to reduce dark circles and eye bags. It lightens skin and makes the eye area appear brighter, increases and encourages production of collagen, strengthens and firms the eye contour and protects skin’s elasticity. It targets hyperpigmentation and soothes delicate skin around your eyes. P.S – Facetheory products contain a high concentration of actives, so only a small amount is required per use.

As you age, you may begin to experience thinning skin and loss of fat and collagen, which results to saggy skin. The hollowness under the eyes makes creases and dark circles become painfully pronounced, adding years to your face. Also know that under eye circles aren’t only seen in older people; some as young as 20 years old have them too, and factors including fatigue, stress, genetics, sun exposure and allergies are major contributors. Hence, the need for eye cream!

And who wouldn’t want to have a healthy, youthful and firm under eye area, and a radiant face, even at 50? winks… I know you sure do! The sooner you start using one, the better.

“The best time to start using an eye cream is before you think you need one,” Dr. Ross advices. “It’s easier to prevent signs of aging than correct them, so I recommend investing in an eye cream starting in your 20’s,” she says.

At MySkincareMall, we have available in Nigeria, the best eye care products from top brands that you can include in your skincare routine and get that eye area glowing. Each of our eye creams bring you some unique benefits, tailored to address your specific needs.
