there’s definitely no use in comparing them and deciding who you think is prettier. they look alike but they’re definitely equally gorgeous in their own rights. just kinda bugs me when people feel the need to compare women’s looks yk
I use basic eye cream to simply moisturize without irritating my skin or my eyes. After a long struggle with what seemed like an eye issue, an ophthalmologist diagnosed me with irritation from skincare, and I switched products and was able to discontinue the eye wash and two types of eye drops I was prescribed to manage symptoms. Since then, I only cleanse gently, moisturize, and wear stick sunscreen around my eyes to prevent sunscreen from getting into my eyes and starting the irritation all over again.
@@blooblahbleeSame. Always get irritation in eyes from skin creams. It's an on going battle.. Wanting to use active skin products, but continuesly having those irritated eyes..
I'm going to use the stick spf and see if that's better bc I swear by late afternoon my eyes feel watery due to spf under the eye or around the eye area.
I used an eye cream with retinol and had a ton of dry eye problems. After some research I found that retinol eye creams have even caused permanent eye damage.
This is true Doc, what is your response. Super curious as I’m trying g to find an eye cream and already have mild thyroid eye disease! Please advise! 🙏🏼😩
@@joanneshaw3071hey! I’ve been using that eye cream and I have almost black dark circles. It’s been a couple months and honestly pretty much no difference whatsoever.
Insomnia and genetic dark circles here. If it’s Korean and on clearance at Marshall’s, I buy it! Shocker: Teen Again Eye Cream w/ Peptide & Retinol - after a few weeks WOW!! Fantastic. I stopped using it, problem increased. Went back to it, lines gone, circles reduced 75%.
@@xxharuchanthere’s serums, the ordinary has one or pixi from target has a gel type. I guess it works lol I don’t have bags but I have dark circles. I think vitamin k helps? Idk I also see improvement after drinking celery juice
"Some By Mi - Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream" doesn't have Vit C, but does have Niacinamide, Retinol, Retinal, and Ginseng extract. "Lashfactor - Under Eye Gel Serum" has Niacinamide, Retinol, Ginseng extract and Sodium ascorbate, a derivative of Vit C. ❤
I had dark circles due to sleep issues and long time monitor screen due to work, I tried most of the products then I myself did DIY and saw rhe results in few weeks. All u have to do is chamomile extract,alovera gel, cucumber extract and little amount of honey, mix it and store in the refrigerator. Apply and massage it everyday bef going to sleep, you will see how that darkness fades away.
I used to not use an eye cream any more because I heard the same advice from Cassandra (I can't remember her last name), so I was using the same facial cream, but my eyelids started to look like a prune, eyeshadow looked awful. I had an Elizabeth Arden hydrating eye cream in my stock, I started using it, and voila, my eyelids started too look youthful and plump again. So, simple hydration is important to me.
Dark circle get somethings with Ginseng extract, Niacinamide, and Vitamin C. Fine lines and Wrinkle get somethings with Retinol. Got it! So I'm assuming if we already have serium with those ingredients we can use them around the eyes 👀 then?
Love the first product! Its the absolute best for my super sensitive eyes. I've been using it for years now. But it's not anti aging though... You need smth else for 40+ skin for a better support.
I normally use a vitamin c eye cream, but my bf's mother has a hydrating eye cream and I use it everytime I visit his house. I must say, it may not be necessary, but damn do I love how that cream feels. Idk why, I love how eye creams feel.
could you discuss what to do about fat/volume loss around eyes? i've noticed my eyes are getting more hollow? my cheeks are still plump but bc my under eyes are hollow, you can see almost like a pit when i smile. makes me feel so old! any way to tighten that area/plump it up without filler or lower blepharoplasty? can't afford surgery and don't want fillers!!!
I would say retinol could will give minor plumping the area as well as hyaluronic acid in multiple forms like hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate. Caffeine will help with puffiness and water retention that could be contributing to a more dramatic hollowing effect of the eye. Unfortunately I don’t know of any topicals that are directly proven to restore fat pad loss in the skin. Certain non surgical treatments would help drastically like Belotero filler for the eyes and some fractional Co2 laser treatments.
Hi, I'm going through the same thing, my dark circles have sunken in and I have a face with very big cheeks, so my sunken eyes look even more tighten, If anyone has advice on how to get that area full again I would greatly appreciate it. 🙏😭🤍
@gagabiux Idk how old you guys are, I'm 45 and I can tell you no product can make you look better if you lack sleep. Personally I only have dark circles if I don't sleep properly, am anemic, or I stuff myself with carbs and sugars or I rub my eyes too often or too hard. If you have digestive issues, like stomac, gut, liver issues, or issues with absorption of vitamins and minerals, you are gonna have skin/hair/nail issues and you need to affront those otherwise you won't find long term benefits and it's gonna get only worse. That said, what really gives best results is facial exercises (face yoga), look up koko hayashi's channel, she has amazing eye excercises that really improve the circulation in the area and more circulation means more blood flowing, that is more oxygen and nutrients reach the area and you can see enormous improvements short term and long term. But as I said, nothing works 100% on it's own if you have other issues interfering.
I love that you told us about the eye cream with retinol. I thought you couldn't but retinol around your eyes or mouth- I thought it would mess up your hormones or something bad I don't remember lol.
Because nothing really does address eye bags. If you have them badly enough, you're going to have to have plastic surgery. I know this because I have them too....😢
Its not really that nothing addresses it. Too many things address it but in different situations. The bags themselves are a side effect of life effects on your genetics. Much like weight has a genetic aspect but isnt the primary cause and effect of obesity. The same can be said about dark circles and bags. Dark circles are usually easier to discuss due to a linking treatment but for bags it can be anything thing. It could be how you sleep, when you sleep, if you drink too much water or not enough water or hydrate yourself at the wrong times. It could be fat or the loss of fat. Medical conditions/health changes. You may be allergic to something that only effects your more sensitive skin around your eyes. If it age and elasticity then a toning under eye night cream and skin firming day cream, both applied with a 5 minute (per eye) low pressure massage of both baggy eyes and surrounding area always may help improve it with time. If its sleep related, changing to sleep with your chin elevated higher than your forehead, and consider adding a caffeine formula. It goes on from there but its a topic that I believe would require more than a short could offer. Even this comment is long.
Use PTR instant eye tightener...miracle worker....you have to use a mineral powder color corrector & mineral powder concealer but it works like a charm and you just took 10 to 15 years off of your face ❤
What if you just want to moisturise, on your eyelids. So many moisturisers say to avoid eyes, but all the eye-creams all seem to be for under-eye issues only. I just want something to go on my eyelids to prevent them drying out and developing eczema.
I’ve tried so many face creams on under eye area, nothing can compare with eye cream, even if it’s simple eye cream without peptides or retinol,or smth like ginseng extract
Agreed- especially bc my entire face is incredibly acne prone still but my under eyes are crepey thin. Any cream I use on my face wouldn’t be sufficient for my dry eyes. I love Kiehls avocado eye cream, it’s the only super rich eye cream that doesn’t cause me milia, but it can’t touch anywhere else on my face without massive breakouts
But my dark circles aren't hyperpigmentation, they change throughout the day 😅 I assume it's related to the dilation of blood vessels under the skin, and the skin being very thin. Can anything help dark circles that AREN'T hyperpigmentation.
Exactly I am so sick about talks about pigmented under eyes, when most of us suffer with diluated capilaires and thin skin under that is purple/blue and not anything brown/pigmented. There are vitamin K creams that possibly can help by strengthening capilares. There is one by ISDIN K-ox and I am planning to try one by Pharmaceris with 1 % K vitamin. not having much expectations, but why not to try:)
I needed this video I’m 18 and I’ve had dark under eyes my whole life from genetics tried everything from sleeping more and having an elevated pillow to drinking more water and tried Tumeric nothing worked and I was too scared to try use a cream incase it broke me out but I’m gonna trust u since ur a dermatologist and I’ll go buy the one u mentioned in the beginning I hope it worksss !!
I’ve been pregnant for basically two years now and haven’t been able to touch retinol like I used to, let me tell you, my little hydro boost may not have the ingredients but my face feels like the Sahara desert without it (I live in a desert) and even if it’s psychology I will not ditch it. I will go back to retinol when I can, but I don’t notice a massive difference between the two. They both temporarily plump the fine lines. The retinol just does it a bit better.
Love this ♡ never have used them. My ma always told be they were pointless and mainly a money grab cause more often then not eye creme is just glorified moisturizer. Unless like you said it has a purpose.
I used to think so until I tried 100% pure caffeine coffee bean eye cream. Literally nothing works for me like this product to immediately clear my morning puffy eyes. I've tried many other things including my regular moisturizers
Hi! Love all your tips, it’s helped many people I love so much including myself. Thanks!!! Do you happen to know anything about plaque psoriasis? Have a young family member who is in the very beginning stages and has it on her face. I see her confidence slowly declining and ANY suggestions will be appreciated as she is too embarrassed to go to dermatologist. Specifically the moth area.
Anything for decreasing the puffiness of eye bags? Probably more medical than anything for my husband but I’d love to give him something for his biggest insecurity. Already using a retinol cream for him
True! And 99.99 creams are useless too, unless it’s for purpose. My mother has wonderful skin at the age of 80yo. On a daily basis she would moisturise her face with organic grass fed cow butter. She didn’t have any wrinkles for a very long time, but stress/anxiety caught up with her. She did this because her mother used butter too.
Finally and glad to hear that. Personnally I was never able to use eye cream. For some reason it irritates my eyes badly. And I tried them all. No perfume, ...but your skin in your face looks amasing. What do you do?
Same Edit: also i haven't had a good sleep in about 3 years, i sleep 8-10 hours, no matter how much and at what time, when i wake up i feel half-dead, like someone just sucked all the life and energy out of me, even though i try to have a good sleep hygiene and look after my health more than ever before. I'm just losing all hope that i will ever feel good or even just normal again. Ok maybe i vented a bit too much💀
@@owl1006most probably because even though you sleep for many hours, you are not really resting just sleeping. Maybe your mind isn't at peace when you sleep so it keeps going and therefore you feel tired when you wake up because you didn't rest... Just slept.. Try cutting on caffeine as much as possible if not all or any other habit which contributes to anxiety. If you are anxious you won't be able to rest.
There is a third problem - very purple undereyes due to the thin skin and visible veins and capillaries. There are vitamin K creams that possibly can help by strengthening capilares. Also doctor always talks about bine loss and never addresses what to do-there are good supplements to help at least minimize it such as vitamin k and magnesium, working out etc. Videos that just say what is the problem without any advice are so useless
I use Olay Retinol night serum and eye cream. Not nightly, only when i feel like my skin needs a boost. I would use it every night if i didn’t have such sensitive eyes. But any time i use retinol, my eyes burn the entire next day. I even use eye drops before i apply it, and the next morning when i wake up. I will say though, i apply the eye cream on top of the serum as well. I swear by it. It makes my skin so plump and hydrated. I guess the eye cream also has some sort of lightener in it (makes sense for under eye bags) and it works great for giving my entire face a perfectly even skin tone and bright complexion.
I have been using a multi-ordinary peptide and eye cream for almost a year, which has been quite expensive. However, to be honest, it hasn't shown any noticeable results. If you simply apply moisturizer, it seems to have the same effect
I like the “Im a board certified dermatologist” rather than the “Im a 40 year old board certified dermatologist”. We get it that you want to tell people that you are 40, but you look younger. But when your content is good, you dont need to justify it with your age. You look good. That’s enough testimony. Period.
I already have been using 1 for the past few years and works better than other much more expensive brands. Also, I just use the same face cream instead of the eye cream since it’s just as effective and more for the buck
I have a 0.5 retinol oil from CosRX that has Squalane in it and I do use it around my eye area. It's so gentle and moisturizing. I have seen nothing but good things from it. I am not a doctor tho so I would consult one before u take my word on it.
Thank you for those informations! I have one question: i have like " sunken eyes" ( i guess it is because i took on age and weight 😀 is there a solution to make it less? ( i try to lose weight but on the face it is hard). Thanks!
Please let explain different ingredients for different types of pigmentation around the eye area, and how to identify which type of pigmentation one has. I don't think vit c is going to help pigmentation due to a darkness deeper than the skin layer
Eye creams are a must if you don't want your makeup to crease underneath your eyes. I don't need a fancy expensive eye cream to get what Im looking for. Just moisture and reduce puffiness.
I get small boils/ pimples around the eyes if i use any eye creams 😑 I have a slightly dry wrinkly undereye, wat should I use 🤔 similarly if I use lip balm i get small boils around the rim if the lips 😦
