If you want to look young and beautiful, you better take care of the delicate skin around your eyes. The skin right around the eyes is the most fragile area of the face. Unless you take good care of it, it will age faster than the rest of your face and make you look much older than you are unnecessarily. Luckily, if use a good eye wrinkle cream that works you can easily reverse the signs of aging and look ten years younger.
So how do you find a good eye wrinkle cream that works?
First off, beware of scams. There are hundreds of untrustworthy companies online touting their eye wrinkle creams as the latest fountain of youth and selling them for hundreds of dollars. They may claim endorsement from Oprah or some Oprah guest, Dr. Oz for example. 99.9% of the time these claims are false.
These companies usually have a free trial offer where they let you try the eye wrinkle cream free for 30 days and then charge you once the trial is over. The eye wrinkle creams themselves are usually very steeply priced (upwards of $150 sometimes!) and once the charges start they are recurring. Don’t fall for this scheme! These companies make their money on people that forget to cancel their trial - and most people do. Once they have your credit card information you’ll have to jump through hoops to get them to stop charging you if you aren’t satisfied.
To top it off, these companies never mention what exactly is in their creams that justifies the expense. If they do mention ingredients, they usually lack scientific backing. Don’t fall for these scam sites no matter how many “testimonials” they have or how good the before and afters look because these days it’s real easy to photoshop before and afters. Do not waste your money and buy from these companies when there are plenty of legitimate and reputable companies online that will disclose what active ingredients are in their eye wrinkle cream, why those ingredients are there, and back up their claims with research.
Secondly, arm yourself with knowledge. If you want results, if you want to get rid of dark circles, bags, lines under the eyes, if you want younger looking eyes, you need to get familiar with the latest effective active ingredients in anti aging skincare and look for an eye wrinkle cream that contains as many of these active ingredients as possible. If a company doesn’t disclose what their active ingredients are, beware and shop elsewhere.
Here’s what you’ll want to look for in a good eye cream:
- For Dark Under Eye Circles –> Soy Rice Peptides: Dramatically reduce dark circles & puffiness around the eyes (studies show 35% reduction after 8 weeks treatment), improve skin smoothness & texture, and improve microcirculation of the blood in the skin. This is found in the better eye wrinkle creams that treat undereye circle darkness.
- For the Best Anti Wrinkle Treatment –> Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 (pentapeptide): Deeply penetrating protein that stimulates collagen synthesis & actively irons out any type of wrinkle. In fact, effects on wrinkles was 350% better than placebo in clinical studies. This ingredient has excellent skin firming & moisturizing properties and is an actual alternative to collagen injections. You’ll definitely want this in your eye wrinkle cream.
- Crows Feet Treatment –> Argireline - -> Safe Topical Botox Alternative: This is a protein that inhibits facial skin muscle tightening, which causes wrinkles formed by repeated facial expressions (frown lines, crows feet, etc). It works by relaxing facial tension which in turn reduces facial lines & wrinkles with regular use. In clinical studies, wrinkles were reduced by 27% following 30 days of treatment & new formation of wrinkles was inhibited as well. This is a must in any good eye wrinkle cream.
- CoQ10 –> Potent Antioxidant : CoQ10 is a potent antioxidant with very effective anti aging & anti wrinkle properties. CoQ10 works by reinforcing collagen & elastin production which keeps your skin looking plump and healthy.
- Watermelon Extract –> Super Antioxidant: Watermelon extract is one of the best antioxidants included in eye wrinkle creams. Watermelon extract will protects the skin against daily stress caused by sun exposure & free radicals while reducing the break-down of DNA in human skin cells. In vivo tests on humans have shown that watermelon extract protects the DNA up to 25%. What makes watermelon extract so special? Turns out watermelon plants have their own defense system that produces solutes to protect its cells against drought, heat & UV-rays using a DNA-protecting mechanism.
- Algae Extract –> For Immediate Skin Tightening: Algae Extract is a great ingredient in eye wrinkle creams because of its skin tightening effects that are both short & long term. Eye wrinkle creams that contain this ingredient will immediately give you a lift and firm look that will build up over time.
As a final note, please be realistic. There are great eye wrinkle creams out there that work, but none work instantly to give you dramatic results no matter what they say. They work over time and with consistent use. Be patient and diligent in your efforts, and just like exercising everyday adds up, so will putting on the best eye wrinkle cream every day. Please do not fall for an eye wrinkle cream that claims to “work in just minutes”. The damage wasn’t done to your eye area in minutes and it would be foolish to think that an eye wrinkle cream would work so fast.
So what IS the best eye wrinkle cream? We personally use and recommend Extreme Eye Rescue by Isabella Pelle (of course! lol). Not only does it contain all of the ingredients listed above at high concentrations, it has quite a few extra super anti aging ingredients added to it. The great part is all information about active ingredients is listed in detail online in our shop page. A+ for consumer awareness.
