How To Choose An Eye Cream?
The eye cream you choose should be formulated specifically for the eye area.
Botanicals – Grape Seed Extract. Extract of Vitis Vinifera Seeds
Viti’s vinifera seed extract, also known as grape seed extract, is a plant extract extracted from the popular grapevine. European folk healers have long used it to treat wounds and reduce inflammation. This is due to the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of Viti’s vinifera seed extract. Furthermore, it is lightweight, durable, and moisturising. It is used in a wide range of cosmetics and skincare products.
Since Viti’s vinifera seed extract has a high affinity for the structure of skin cells, the benefits are easy absorption without leaving a greasy feeling on the skin. This property also allows the extract to penetrate deeper into the skin to deliver other active ingredients. Viti’s vinifera seed extract is high in essential fatty acids, including linoleic acid, which can help to restore the skin’s barrier function. Viti’s vinifera seed extract helps keep the skin hydrated and soft by restoring the skin’s barrier.
Daisy Flower Extract (non-toxic extract of the Daisy Flower) is often used to brighten the skin and avoid hyperpigmentation. Daisy Flower Extract has been shown to reduce the development of tyrosine (an amino acid needed in the formation of melanin – the skin’s natural colour) by up to 50%, thus preventing further hyperpigmentation.
Daisy Flower Extract, a safe and reliable alternative to Hydroquinone, is suitable for even the most susceptible skin types, including pregnant women. Daisy Flower Extract contains higher levels of organic acids (particularly tartaric and malic acids), making it a valuable ingredient for its lightening and exfoliating properties. Daisy leaves, which have a long history of being used topically to treat wounds and as compresses, promote exceptional repair in skin tissue. The extract has antiseptic properties that can kill bacteria from the skin’s surface, keeping it safe. Daisy Flower Extract is an excellent option for people who cannot tolerate Hydroquinone or Kojic Acid or who are pregnant and want to treat hyperpigmentation effectively.
Vitamin C can help to protect and brighten the eye area. Surprisingly, vitamin C’s skin-saving properties aren’t restricted to its antioxidant status. It also has many other skin-healing properties that make it deserving of a permanent spot in your medicine cabinet. For one thing, since vitamin C is highly acidic when applied topically, “the skin is stimulated to repair itself by accelerating the development of collagen and elastin,” according to New York City-based dermatologist Howard Sobel. Remember that collagen and elastin are naturally occurring protein fibres that aid in maintaining plump and firm skin. As a result of its ability to promote collagen formation, topical vitamin C can help prevent premature skin ageing.
A quality eye cream should contain Antioxidants – Antioxidant compounds shield our body’s cells from the stress created by our surroundings. They do this in various ways, and to understand how it all works, think back to high school science…
This is why the higher the Vitamin C content, the more benefits there are.
