You may count fine lines and under-eye circles as your worst enemies, but they don't have to be. Here, we're revealing the one anti-aging eye cream you should use to look 10 years younger - no ifs, and or buts!
According to experts, peptides are key ingredients to younger-looking skin. Peptides are naturally occuring amino acids that promote collagen production in the body. While your skin contains ample collagen when you're young, your levels will start to decrease as you age, making your skin look thinner. Thus, an eye cream that's made with peptides will stimulate skin growth and repair.
"Peptides are an excellent anti-aging ingredient because they work to address signs of aging at not just the skin’s surface, but far below at the cellular level as well," Dr. Joel Schlessinger told SELF.
In particular, pentapeptides are great for plumping up the skin around your eyes. These types of peptides prompt the skin to release significant amounts of collagen and hyaluronic acid for major healing effects. Although more evidence is needed to provide solid proof, one study carried out by an ingredient manufacturer found that anti-aging products that contained pentapeptides worked better than those with vitamin C or retinol.
