The skin around the eyes is much thinner and more delicate compared to the rest of the face.

It lacks oil glands, making it prone to dryness and quicker to show signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles.

Products formulated for the eyes are often lighter in texture and gentler to avoid irritation. Applying products around the eyes requires a lighter touch and careful application to avoid pulling or stretching the delicate skin.

Eye skincare products are formulated with ingredients that are suitable for the sensitive skin around the eyes. These ingredients may include peptides (to improve elasticity), hyaluronic acid (for hydration), antioxidants (to protect against free radicals), and caffeine (to reduce puffiness). Facial skincare products, while also containing these ingredients, may be formulated with higher concentrations or additional active ingredients tailored to specific facial concerns.
