On the first line is a cream from a brand that produces professional skincare cosmetics. It is intended for mature, aging skin to maintain its health and significantly improve its appearance. The complex includes biologically active components that act in several directions, so the result will not take long to wait.

Oligopeptides promote the production of natural elastin and collagen. They increase skin firmness and elasticity. Retinol affects external and internal processes.

In the deep layers, low-concentrated retinol activates genes responsible for intracellular processes.

Glycoprotein controls hydration levels. Boswellic acids provide anti-inflammatory effects. Stabilized vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that prevents the formation of age spots due to exposure to sunlight. Customers rated the product “excellent” and recommend it to those aged 40+. It is similar to injection methods of rejuvenation, but does not require time to visit the salon and serious financial investments.

Rating: 4.8

Korean cosmetics have long become popular among Russian women. The Saem brand cream was no exception to the rule, so it takes a worthy second place. Its main ingredient is telopea extract, which was actively used by ancient oriental healers.

It creates a barrier from UV rays, city dust, polluted air, and gives vitality and strength. The enhanced effect is due to the balanced formula.

Terms of use

How to properly apply eye cream to the skin around the eyes? The specifics of using the product largely depend on its type - creams for puffiness under the eyes are applied from the center and closer to the periphery of the face, as if drawing a circle along the upper eyelid.

Anti-aging products should be applied from the outer corner of the eye to the inner corner on both eyelids.

This technique is optimal for mature skin with fragile capillaries, since it does not stretch or injure it. All creams should be applied to the orbital bone using light, slightly tapping movements. The ring finger is considered the most delicate for tapping; it is almost impossible to hit it too hard.

Composition of eye creams

Products for the care of the eyelid area are characterized by a delicate, non-aggressive composition. For a certain age, the set of components is different, but there are also common ingredients:

1. Antioxidants - substances protect aging skin and prevent the first signs of aging for young skin. Common antioxidants include vitamin E, green tea extract, witch hazel and grape extract.
2. Retinoids and peptides are components that fight the aging of the dermis. Substances help stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. The ingredient reduces wrinkles and reduces pigmentation.
3. Caffeine helps improve blood flow and has a drainage effect.
4. Humidifiers - participate in maintaining moisture in the dermis. Popular components: glycerin, hyaluronic acid.
5. Oils provide nutrition, softening and elasticity to the skin. Avocado and almond oils are added to eye creams.
6. Vitamin C - stimulates the regeneration of epidermal cells, promotes the natural production of collagen.
7. Probiotics - restore the concentration of beneficial bacteria. Reduce inflammatory processes.

Pay attention to the content of these substances in products for the area around the eyes.
