Are You Wasting Money on an Eye Cream?

The eye area is notorious for showing early signs of aging, but what is it that makes this part of our skin age first and what can we do to treat it? Do we need a dedicated Eye Cream or are they a waste of money?

The muscles around the eyes are hard workers and the millions of actions they perform daily like blinking, smiling, and frowning alone – without even factoring in other aggressors – explain why we see fine lines, puffiness, drooping and dark circles.

The finer and very delicate skin around the eye area is also missing key elements necessary for firm, plump skin like soft tissue, bolder muscle and Sebaceous (Oil) Glands that deprive the area of necessary oils and nutrients, key to preserving and maintaining healthier, younger-looking skin. When you add all that up and do the skin math the solution is clear – the eye area acts differently to the rest of the skin and so its treatment must be different too.

For years the humble eye cream has been wrongfully accused of being surplus to requirements, a marketing ploy that adds an ‘unnecessary’ product to your shopping cart but using your day-to-day face moisturiser around the eye area can do more harm than good long-term. Product formulations for the face are focused on a completely different skin make up, can be irritating and weigh down the fine skin over time.

To safely and effectively hydrate, plump and protect the eye area from the breakdown of collagen and elastin you need specific ingredient formulations and a specially designed eye care system. O Cosmedics takes a three-product approach with Eye Fusion for anti-aging, Eye Correct for dark circles and puffiness and No Baggage Native Collagen Eye Masks for plumping and firming.

To boost your eye care, try applying a corrective O serum underneath; 3D Hyaluronic Serum is a hydration powerhouse that will plump, smooth, and ensure the area is well protected against dehydration which triggers aging. Pure Age Defiance Serum, also safe for use under the eyes, won’t only hydrate and plump the delicate area, but contains O’s exclusive V8 Peptide Complex^® to fight the five causes of aging and Snap 8, a powerful peptide that assists in slowing down the communication between the muscles around your eyes by up to 63%, which means fewer lines!
