Your eyes are typically the first region of your face to show signs of aging. This is largely due to the fact that the skin surrounding the eyes is thinner and more fragile than in other regions. As you age, the loss of collagen and elastin combine to further impact this area, causing droopy eyelids, wrinkles, and bags under the eyes.
Fortunately, there are a variety of cutting edge products available which will help you reverse the signs of aging around the eyes to restore a more youthful, vibrant appearance.
If you are looking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes, look for products containing vitamin C and retinol. These ingredients will help spur the production of new collagen, enabling you to eliminate unsightly wrinkles. The following products are great options to consider:
- Eve Lom’s Eyelift
- Glo Therapeutics 7.5% Eye Gel
- Dr. Sebagh’s Eye Primer Lift
Sagging eyelids are primarily the result of a loss of elastin. Fortunately, there are several new skin creams that can help increase elastin production and reduce sagging:
- RoC Sublime Energy Eye
- Givenchy’s Le Soin Noir Yeux
- Bremenn Upper Eyelid Lifter
Lack of sleep and allergies often cause the tiny blood vessels underneath the eye skin to dilate, resulting in the appearance of dark circles. Several products can help combat this issue, including:
- Ole Henriksen’s Truth is in the Eyes
- Skeen Perfect Eyes Powder
Fluid under the eyes can lead to puffiness. To reduce the appearance of bags under your eyes, try these products:
- L’Oreal Micro-Vibration Eye
- Body Shop Eye Reviver
- Crème de la Mer’s Eye Balm Intense
- Aquasource Eye Perfection
