Eye creams can feel like a farce sometimes. You apply them in the hopes that they will lighten crow’s feet and dark circles and reduce puffiness, but more often than not, eye cream hydrates, sometimes feels sticky, and often times creates a messy base when you apply concealer.
What to do?
For starters, don’t give up on eye cream (because the right one is the real deal). This is the one eye cream that gets rid of wrinkles the first time you use it.
Let’s be honest about wrinkles. They’re natural. Most people have at least some signs of aging, especially around the eye area, which is extremely thin, delicate, and most prone to those first signs of aging. And the only method that we know about that can truly obliterate wrinkles (temporarily, of course) is Botox. But Botox costs major money, whereas a good eye cream can also help correct skin and make a big difference.
As long as your expectations of an eye cream are realistic, you can achieve some pretty amazing results when you read labels carefully and choose creams with effective ingredients.
