Our Eyes Don't lie: My favorite Eye Creams

Our eyes don't lie,... they are the windows to our soul,...so we have to keep them fresh and young looking.
 Most important fact about eye creams: THE RICHER THE CREAM,...THE BETTER.

As we age we lose collagen and moisture from our skin. Collagen is a group of proteins that provide elasticity and firmness to our skin.  The eye area is the thinnest skin on our face .  It has the least moisture.  The more moisture we lose and the less collagen is produced, and the more we smile,..which we should all do, the more pronounced the lines around the eyes, hence crows feet.

Eye Creams basics

Crows feet are wrinkles extending from the outer corner of the eyes. They can be reduced or removed with a good eye cream that contains a proper pharmaceutical-grade blend of argireline and hyaluronic acid. Most eye creams, particularly the cheaper variety, can not properly deal with crows feet due to the low concentration of the necessary ingredients needed to combat the problem.

The 3 or 4 most important ingredients in creating an excellent eye cream are

1)      Argireline

2)      Hyaluronic Acid

3)      GABA

4)      Resveratrol

Ideally it would be to find all of these ingredients in a super eye cream but if not it should have at least one of the above.

Dehydration
Dehydration is the excessive loss of water from the body or an organ or body part. Aloe vera is the most effective topical solution for dealing with dehydration. People who suffer from dry skin, which is a very common symptom of dehydration, must choose an eye cream that contains aloe vera.
Moisturizer
A moisturizer is a cosmetic lotion or cream applied to the skin to help retain moisture and combat dryness. Aloe Vera is considered the best moisturizer and an essential component to any premium eye cream.

Wrinkles
Wrinkles around the corner of the eyes, also known as crow’s feet, are the most visible signs of age. An eye cream with argireline, GABA and hyaluronic acid are fast to remove wrinkles around the eyes by almost instantly smoothing the delicate skin while at the same time permanently reducing wrinkle depth.
Argireline
Argireline is the brand name for Acetyl Hexapeptide-3.  It is manufactured by Center Chem in Conneticut. It has been called by top skin care professionals, as the best needle-free alternative to botox. Argireline has been shown to drastically reduce wrinkle depth, particularly around the forehead and eye area.  It is found in many of the best-rated anti-aging products for this reason. While Argireline can be applied daily in cream form, it is completely discomfort-free.

Hyaluronic Acid
One of the three essential ingredients in any premium eye cream, hyaluronic acid is the key to maintaining water substances in human skin. What occurs is that as a result of aging, natural hyaluronic acid concentration in the skin decreases at an increasing rate over time. As a result, the skins ability to maintain moisture is weakened, and it gives the appearance of being dry and rough. When hyaluronic acid is applied back to the skin, it penetrates the dermis, combines with water, and promotes micro circulation and nutrient absorption. It forms an air permeable layer, to keep the skin moist and smooth. Hyaluronic acid application in a topical eye cream leads to rapid skin rejuvenation. The results are a fast reduction in wrinkles around the eye area, particularly what is known as ‘crows feet’.
GABA
GABA, a relatively new topical skin care supplement, is referred to by experts as the body’s natural tranquilizer.  It works fast to penetrate the sensitive skin around the eyes by relaxing the muscles.  This has the effect of creating less skin tension in order to instantly reduce wrinkling. The instant anti-wrinkle effect of the GABA application makes it a very desirable addition to any eye cream.

Resveratrol
Resveratrol is perhaps the most important anti-aging discovery of the this generation. Well publicized, with benefits documented in thousands of scientific journals, the world’s most powerful anti-oxidant has been recently added to some super-premium eye creams However, as highly-concentrated topical resveratrol is extremely expensive, expect to pay well over $100 for a small bottle of resveratrol infused eye cream. Accordingly, it is worth every penny.


Before you go ahead and spend your money,...TRY, TRY, TRY.

Go to Sephora and ask for a sample of your preferred eye cream and try it out for a few days.  See the results and then purchase it if you like it.

* As with all cosmetic products they don't all work the same for all skin types.  We all have different body chemistry so a cream that might work well for me or your friend or your mom might not work so well for you.  Don't get discouraged.  Go out and try as many as you like and then decide where you will spend your money on.  And do not feel guilty on spending on a good cosmetic product, ...see it as an INVESTMENT for your FACE.  Your face will THANK YOU without the extra wrinkles.

The eye creams bellow do not have all the above ingredients in one.  Some just have one,...while others might have them disguised in other chemical forms.

The one ingredient that I saw in two creams is Hyaluronic Acid= as Sodium Hyaluronate=wrikle reducer 

Another ingredient that I found in one cream is RESVERATROL.


And here are my favorite eye creams, listed by price not the order that I like.  I posted a few so that you can decided based on your body chemistry which works best for you.
