Why does the skin around the eyes age faster?
The skin around the eyes is thinner, more sensitive, and less equipped to retain moisture compared to the skin on the rest of your face. This vulnerable area is further undermined during the aging process as cell turnover slows, and elastin and collagen networks begin to loosen and degrade. Thinning skin can make blood vessels and dark areas under the eyes more noticeable.
Can an Eye Cream Brighten Dark Circles?
Brightening agents like vitamin C, kojic acid, and retinoids work to reduce the appearance of dark circles by inhibiting melanin production and promoting cell turnover. Retinoids, which are powerful derivatives of vitamin A, encourage the production of new, healthy skin cells and boost collagen production to thicken the skin and reduce the appearance of dark circles.
In addition to retinoids and brightening ingredients, eye creams that contain caffeine can also reduce the appearance of dark circles by constricting blood vessels to minimize their appearance.
Is a Specialized Eye Cream Better Than a Regular Moisturizer for Preventing or Repairing Wrinkles?
Eye creams are formulated with a higher concentration of active ingredients like peptides, hyaluronic acid, and retinoids, which are essential for collagen production and skin repair . Retinoids are the gold standard for treating signs of aging. They work by increasing cell turnover and stimulating collagen production, helping to smooth out fine lines and prevent the formation of new wrinkles. Regular moisturizers, while effective at hydrating the skin, lack the potency of specially targeted actives needed to create changes in the skin.
Additionally, eye creams are designed to be gentle, minimizing the risk of irritation while delivering potent benefits in addition to hydration.
Key Ingredients to Brighten and Smooth the Eye Area
With a high-performance formula that includes caffeine, retinoids, peptides, and hyaluronic acid, Vivant’s Wink eye cream is brimming with perks for perkier eyes.
The peptides and retinoids in Wink are a power duo for youthful looking skin . Retinoids speed cell turnover and kickstart collagen production, resulting in firmer skin and a reduction in fine lines. Peptides complement this by signaling the body to create more of the long-chain amino acids that make up collagen and elastin while also reducing inflammation. Together, these ingredients provide long-term firming and smoothing effects.
Caffeine is the ultimate eye-opener. It has potent antioxidant properties, which means it protects cells from environmental stressors. In addition to antioxidant benefits, caffeine’s anti-inflammatory properties help draw excess fluid from cells to reduce puffiness. As a vasoconstrictor, caffeine shrinks blood vessels and increases circulation for an immediate lift and brightening effect .
Hyaluronic acid is a water magnet that boosts moisture and plumps cells to give skin a lifted, refreshed, and smooth appearance.
Wink’s ultra-nourishing formula also includes kojic acid, which suppresses the production of excess pigment to enhance brightening. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory oat extracts aid in collagen synthesis and minimize puffiness. Grape seed oil hydrates and protects against photodamage. Whole leaf aloe is a soother, hydrator, and brightening agent .
Wink ticks all the boxes—lifting, firming, depuffing, smoothing, brightening—to make it an icon of eye care. Plus, it’s light, non-greasy, and fast absorbing, so you can use it in the morning as well as at night. Hello, dream cream.
