Lifting cream for eyelids and skin around the eyes - which is the best? Lifting cream for the skin around the eyes: choosing the right one Main ingredients of lifting products

The skin around the eyes is the thinnest and most delicate, it suffers most from overwork and stress. Also, the first wrinkles appear around the eyes, and quite early. But if you take good care of your eyelid skin, moisturize and nourish it, you can significantly slow down the aging process.

Eye Cream One Hundred Recipes for Beauty based on natural ingredients creates the necessary anti-aging care and maintains the health and beauty of the skin around the eyes:

more than a month

Good hydration, pleasant light texture, absorbs quickly.

The lifting effect declared by the manufacturer is not sufficiently pronounced.

I have been using the cream for six months now, without saving, while a tube with a generous 20 ml will last for another 1.5-2 months. I am 30 years old, there are minor mimic wrinkles under the eyes, not catastrophic, but the skin noticeably loses its elasticity. I liked that it contains sea buckthorn oil, which if it does not rejuvenate, then at least softens, due to which there will not be large creases of the skin in these places, as well as the presence of vitamins A and E, which protect the skin from ultraviolet rays... Also, the manufacturer declared royal jelly in the composition, which of course raises doubts, given the low cost of the cream, as well as a golden mustache to eliminate dark circles. There are, of course, many promises, but personally I was counting only on good hydration and nutrition of the skin due to the sea buckthorn oil in the composition. As a result, I got it: the cream turned out to be very pleasant in texture, light and nourishing at the same time, well and quickly absorbed, which is important for use in the morning, does not roll under the concealer, pleasantly and delicately smelling, and generally does not irritate anything. I use it with pleasure and buy it again, only I want to alternate it with something that has a more pronounced lifting effect, after all, there is almost no such cream in this cream. Getting rid of dark circles is generally ridiculous, it is unlikely that you can achieve this with the help of a cream, so do not even count.

It is common knowledge that the area around the eyes needs special care. However, many girls still ignore the eye cream. In vain. If you do not act, then the first wrinkles may appear by the 25th birthday, and every year the situation will worsen.

For the prevention of aging of the skin around the eyes, special formulas with a lifting effect have been developed. They solve several problems at once:

Functions of the lifting cream

The principle of the lifting cream for the skin around the eyes - intense hydration plus a solution to a number of problems:

  1. 1

    increased skin elasticity;

  2. 2

    reduction of dark circles and swelling;

  3. 3

    smoothing of crow's feet;

  4. 4

    increased skin density.

In most products, carnauba wax or silicones are responsible for the tightening effect. True, the effect will last until the first wash, so it is better to use such products in the morning or before an important event. And after cleansing - pamper the skin with a moisturizing formula, because the above components can provoke dehydration.

The main ingredients of lifting products

Eyelid lifting products usually contain vitamins and acids. These substances help to rejuvenate, moisturize and protect the skin.

    Vitamin C- one of the main anti-aging components and the strongest antioxidant. Slows down the aging process, protects against photodamage.

    Vitamin E- lipophilic, protects the skin from ultraviolet radiation, has softening and regenerating properties.

    ALA (alpha lipoic acid) increases the barrier properties of the skin and evens out its relief.

    AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) exfoliates dead cells of the superficial epithelium, stimulates the synthesis of elastin and collagen, brightens age-related dark spots, softens the skin.

    Hyaluronic acid retains moisture in cells and restores elasticity to the skin.

    Ferulic acid prevents oxidative stress. It has a powerful antioxidant effect: it well protects skin cells from DNA damage caused by UV rays.

Also, this ingredient has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Stabilizes vitamin C and increases its activity. Corrects signs of aging.

    Plant extracts reduce capillary permeability and fragility. Improves microcirculation and metabolic processes in the skin. Reduces swelling.

    Caffeine enhances blood and lymph flow, reduces and prevents edema.

    Probiotics help to restore the community of beneficial bacteria in the skin and reduce inflammation. They act as a balancing component in products with retinol and vitamin C.

    Retinoids and peptides- powerful anti-aging substances. They stimulate the synthesis of elastin and prevent and reduce wrinkles and pigmentation.

    Nutritive oils (avocado, jojoba) soften the skin, make it elastic, help water molecules not evaporate longer.

Terms of use

The technique of applying an eye cream depends on its category. For example, decongestant formulas are applied from the center to the periphery of the face - from the nose to the outer corner of the eye, "drawing" a circle along the upper eyelid. But anti-aging products are distributed in the opposite direction:

  1. 1

    along the lower eyelid from the outer corner of the eye to the bridge of the nose;

  2. 2

    and according to the same pattern for the upper eyelid.

This technique allows you not to stretch fragile mature skin.

Any eye cream is applied along the orbital bone, with light hammering movements. We advise you to tap the skin with your ring finger - it is the most "delicate" one, it will not allow you to hit hard, and therefore injure the skin.

Criterias of choice

It doesn't matter which cream you are going to buy - rejuvenating, moisturizing or refreshing. The main requirements for absolutely all cosmetics for the skin around the eyes imply:

    ophthalmological control;

    hypoallergenic formula;

  • an uncomfortable texture that spreads evenly and absorbs well.

    With regard to lifting products, a pronounced lifting effect is provided by a cream with a rich texture, oils and balms are suitable for aging skin.

It is better to use the cream twice a day. In the morning after cleansing and toning the skin. In the evening - an hour and a half before going to bed to avoid puffiness.

Greetings girls!


In March of this year, I saw a very unpleasant sight in the mirror - clearly pronounced crow's feet under the eyes, closer to the nose, and the first wrinkles, which are strongly pronounced only on one eye - the left.

Lots of text and photos of the result.

Somehow, until March of this year, I did not bother about this - pregnancy, childbirth, then childcare, there was no time for that, or I simply did not pay attention to it. And when I turned it, I was just horrified by the condition of the skin under the eyes, more precisely under the left eye. If any of you can explain why the left eye was the first to age, I will be glad.
I also noticed a 100% fact, after working with the HP notary for more than 20 minutes, the skin on the left eye “cracks” and the wrinkles become much more pronounced.

Due to its oily skin face, I can not stand any moisturizer on my face, only in sooo rare cases and it is very light. I was worried that the eye cream would be greasy and I would not be able to use it, but fortunately, my fears were in vain.

The first in my life (I'm 26 years old) was an eye cream Pure Line Phytotherapy. Light cream for eyelids lungwort and cornflower. From 26 years old..


From the manufacturer: Preservation of youth and against signs of fatigue.
Double action:
1.retention of youth due to pure lungwort extract - deeply moisturizes delicate skin eyelids and improves skin tone, preventing the appearance of the first wrinkles
2.Anti fatigue due to pure cornflower extract - reduces puffiness and removes traces of fatigue, tones, smoothes fine wrinkles
Application: apply to the skin around the eyes in the morning and evening

Composition:

My opinion:
Eye cream Pure Line from 26 years old has a light, and most importantly, non-greasy structure! Therefore, it can be safely applied to the eyelids, and after a few minutes, start to paint the eyes. The cream does not leave a greasy film, it is quickly absorbed. It really does give some feeling of freshness to the eyes.
After applying it, the skin seems to breathe and a feeling of freshness appears. Does not cause irritation and redness.
The cream moisturizes the skin, and as stated by the manufacturer, smoothes wrinkles and prevents the appearance of new ones, this is really so - there are no more wrinkles.
At the expense of traces of fatigue and puffiness - bags under my eyes are extremely rare, so I can't say anything about this action.
The economical cream lasted for 3 months with daily use in the morning and in the evening (I tried not to forget to ointment)
Price: RUB 50

The second cream for the eyes was the cream Belita Energetic eye cream. Cranberries and Blueberries


From the manufacturer: The amazingly soft cream is quickly absorbed, refreshes the skin and improves its tone. Contains cranberry and lingonberry extracts to energize cells to prevent skin aging and wrinkles.

Composition:

The composition is not very bad for me for this budget cream... There are a lot of useful things in it:
Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil-Safflower seed oil (softens and moisturizes)
Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil-macadamia oil (nourishes and moisturizes, especially useful for mature skin)
Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) and Vaccinium Myrtillus (Bilberry) Extracts - cranberry and lingonberry extracts (energize the skin and prevent aging)
Desamido Collagen-Collagen (maintains skin firmness and elasticity)
Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil-Wheat Germ Oil (contains vitamins A and E)
Tocopheryl Acetate-Vitamin E (nourishes the skin, is an antioxidant)

From me: I really like the smell and light texture of this cream, it is easy to apply, it is quickly absorbed. The skin looks fresh and rested. The lifting effect is small, the skin is tightened. But the effect lasts as well as from the previous cream for half a day.
Of course, I do not know if this is all in fact and in what quantities, but I liked this cream more than a clean line. But according to my experience, "energetic" is not very suitable for an evening cream. It is still more suitable for a morning eye cream.
The cream is also very economical for me, again for 3 months with daily use in the morning and in the evening
Price: RUB 100

When I ran out of cranberries with blueberries, I wanted to buy it again, but in mall it was not there and I grabbed in pauses (my husband was in a hurry :)) the first one I came across for my age. One Hundred Beauty Recipes Eye Cream LIFTING AND MOISTURIZING


From the manufacturer: For this, in our recipes we use the most effective natural ingredients that simultaneously moisturize and have an anti-aging effect.
Improved recipe - for more effective anti-aging care:
Cucumber juice perfectly tones and moisturizes the skin, evens out the complexion, reduces skin pigmentation.
Wheat germ oil contains vitamins of youth E and B, actively stimulates the work of cells and prevents the appearance of wrinkles.
Parsley root extract refreshes and whitens the skin, nourishes and vitamins well, relieves puffiness and redness.

Composition:


From me: the first thing I felt when I opened the cream was the smell of a cucumber! Having been using the cream for more than a month, I still cannot understand whether I like the smell or not, it causes a kind of double feeling in me. It is worth noting the narrow cream dispenser spout - very convenient! This was not the case in previous creams. The cream itself is white, not liquid, but light.
It is true that the cream tones and moisturizes the skin. I did not notice the evening of the complexion and the reduction of pigmentation, whitening. nutritious cream in the morning.
Price: RUB 50
If we compare all three creams, then in terms of absorbency then the most quickly absorbed eye cream is Belita's cranberries and blueberries (number 2), then a cream from a hundred beauty recipes (number 3) and in third place is the clean line (number 1).


In terms of moisture content, numbers 2 and 3 are the same, number 1 is inferior to them.

Eye cream Light lungwort and cornflower from Pure Line "from 26 years old" rating - 4
Energetic eye cream Cranberry and Blueberry from Belita rating - 5
Eye cream LIFTING AND HYDRATION from One hundred beauty recipes score - 4 (for the smell and unfulfilled whitening promises)

All three creams have a cumulative effect - the more you use, the more visible the result. The first noticeable results about wrinkles and crow's feet can be seen in a month. Thanks to these creams, my "legs" have decreased by 70% (this is my opinion) and the wrinkles are not as deep as before. The result of my efforts is in the photo on the right.
In the photo on the left - an eye about 5 months after the start of using creams (I was finishing a tube of cranberries) I did not take a photo in March and I don’t even want to remember that there was a photo on the right - today (another 3 months have passed)


2 weeks ago I started using peach oil at night on the skin around the eyes: Shafran LTD Peach kernel oil 100%, produced in Kyrgyzstan
In the annotation to the oil, I read that it is used for the skin around the eyes and the result is noticeable after 15 days.

First, about the composition and properties of peach oil:

Like almost all natural vegetable oils, peach oil contains many unsaturated and saturated fatty acids(oleic, linoleic, palmitic, stearic and other acids), which are so necessary for the full functioning of our skin cells.
In addition, peach oil is rich in vitamins P, A, E, C and B vitamins, as well as useful macro and microelements such as iron, calcium, potassium and phosphorus.

The constant use of peach oil contributes to good nutrition, softening, moisturizing, and rejuvenation of the skin, as well as significantly improving its appearance.

Key benefits of peach oil:
- helps to tighten the skin of the face, making it more firm and elastic;
- smoothes out superficial wrinkles on the skin;
- eliminates dryness and flaking of the skin;
- relieves various kinds of inflammation and irritation, is not allergenic, making it perfect for sensitive skin;
- helps to improve complexion;
- just as mentioned above, peach oil remarkably nourishes, moisturizes and softens the skin, preventing it from drying out.

From me: it is recommended to add avocado and jojoba oil to the composition of peach oil for eye care. But I don't have them yet and I used pure peach oil, applying overnight with a cotton pad. The oil is absorbed for at least 20 minutes. But then the skin is well moisturized. And in the morning it is generally pleasant to look in the mirror.

Peach oil rating: 5
Price: 40 rub.

Thanks to everyone who read)))

How does the remedy work

The skin around the eyes is considered the most delicate area of ​​the face.

The main task of a cream with a lifting effect is to restore elasticity, strengthen, tighten, slow down the aging process and smooth the skin around the eyes.

Since the epidermis in this area is thin, delicate, devoid of fatty layers and sensitive, the components of the creams should be hypoallergenic, that is, not causing allergic reactions in the form of redness, swelling, itching and lacrimation.

Many manufacturers add substances to the composition that eliminate dark circles under the eyes, strengthen small blood vessels and capillaries, thereby increasing the spectrum of action of such funds.

Previously, it was believed for a long time that at the age of 25 it is too early to start anti-aging skin care for the eyelids, but now cosmetologists say the opposite, that is, they strongly recommend doing this as early as possible in order to significantly prolong the youth of this delicate epidermis.

What is the effectiveness

The main tasks of the eye contour creams are:

We wish you the right choice and excellent lifting effect!

A set of daily cosmetics for face care should include a lifting cream for the eyes, as a must.

Its correct and effective ingredients will provide nourishment, moisture to delicate, thin, sensitive skin prone to deformation associated with age-related changes and the mimic mobility of the zone.

Timely application of special eye creams will help the skin to remain in good condition for a long time.

Lifting eye cream - a pacifier or a working additive?

At a young age, the dermis independently produces the required amount of collagen - not only does it not need lifting for the eyes, but it can also do harm.

But over time, the need for additional care of the periorbital area becomes more palpable - the skin becomes thinner, looks papery, dehydrated, and loses its turgor. As a result - wrinkles, overhanging upper eyelids and bags (fatty hernias) under the eyes.

An effective lifting cream is able to not only tighten the skin of the eyelids, but also have a complex effect on it. Namely:

  • supply;
  • moisturize;
  • protect;
  • stimulate regeneration processes.

As a result of the systematic use of the active components of the lifting cream, it helps to restore:

  • firmness and elasticity of the skin;
  • relief of the surface of the dermis;
  • blood flow and lymph flow;
  • vitamin and mineral balance;
  • moisture content in the epidermis.

You should not expect a result from a lifting product if there are no substances in its composition that can have a positive effect on the skin, as well as if its application does not have a system.


Eyelid creams are different from other types cosmetics the fact that they should not only be highly effective, but also safe, since it is in this zone that the most delicate, thin, fat-free dermis is located, which is easy to damage.

Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the composition includes components that:

  • moisturize the skin;
  • do not cause allergic reactions;
  • do not contain chemical and mechanical irritants;
  • made on the basis natural materials, free from artificial colors and fragrances.

In order not to disrupt the natural balance of fat and moisture in the dermis in the periorbital area, for different types special means are combined for the skin: creams for dry type, gels and serums for oily types.

Important! It is good when the lifting eye cream contains reflective particles. They have the ability to refract light and reflect it, visually enhancing the effect of freshness, giving the look more expressiveness, and rejuvenating the image.

High-quality eye creams must contain:

  • concentrated vitamin complexes - A, C, E, PP, which activate the formation of collagen, increase elasticity, maintain fluid balance in the cells of the dermis, remove radicals from the cells.
  • acids - hyaluronic, lipolic, ferulic, as well as amino acids (peptides), which restore the synthesis of collagen and elastin, smooth wrinkles, restore elasticity to the skin, and improve its density.
  • natural moisturizers - kinetin, which fills the dermis with moisture and rejuvenates it.

If the composition includes plant extract and natural oils (avacado, jojoba), its benefits and effectiveness are further enhanced, since these components improve metabolic processes in the skin, normalize blood flow and lymph outflow, and reduce capillary fragility

Important! All components of the lifting cream have a complex effect on the skin of the upper eyelid, as well as the lower eyelid, in order to tone it up, restore and rejuvenate it. But on the packaging of the cream, the most active component is always the first, by which it is necessary to judge the features of the action of the product.


The indications for the use of lifting cream are signs of skin aging, including: hypersensitivity, dryness, peeling, overhanging of the upper eyelid, puffiness.

In order for the eye cream to work as efficiently as possible, you need to choose it according to the type of skin, take into account the subtleties of its application, and follow the application technique.

Preparation for application

Before applying the lifting product, the skin must be prepared. To do this, you should:

  • remove decorative cosmetics;
  • completely cleanse the face and eyelids with cosmetic milk or cream;
  • treat the dermis with an alcohol-free tonic.

After preliminary preparation, proceed to the next step.

Correct application

An eye cream with a lifting effect is applied to the skin using the technique of a smoothing massage, exactly along the orbital bone, with light scurrying movements of the fingers or pinpoint tapping of the ring finger with constant pressure control.

Rubbing such a remedy is strictly prohibited due to the high probability of injury to the dermis and deterioration of its condition.

If the agent is used to relieve swelling, it must be distributed from the nose to the outer corners of the eye, that is, from the center to the periphery; to get rid of wrinkles, it is best to start applying the cream in the reverse order.

In case of increased skin sensitivity, the cream is recommended to be gently applied with cotton swabs or discs.

Important! No skin tightening agent is applied to the movable eyelid!

Frequency of use

To obtain a visible result, the duration of application of such a remedy varies in the region of 3-4 weeks, after which you can change the lifting remedy or switch to an eyelid cream of a different action.

During the entire time, it is necessary to apply it on the skin of the eyelids twice a day, an hour and a half before going out or resting at night.
