What it is and what it is for?
Eye moisturizer is a cream that helps people who suffer a lot from the lack of hydration and the fragility of the small vessels that irrigate the eye area, which is the most sensitive, fine and delicate part of the face and should be treated with specific care.
The main problems encountered are wrinkles, fine lines, crow's feet, dark circles, bags and bumps.
The cream serves to repair the fragility presented in this area and the continuous use provides an anti-wrinkle function, which reduces and prevents the expression lines.
So it is important to treat the eye contour with moisturizers to prevent and help fight these problems.
What are the most used ingredients and their function?
Retinol, one of the most popular ingredients in anti-aging cosmetics. It is a molecule derived from vitamin A, which is a scientifically proven substance as one of the most powerful weapons against aging.
AHA and BHA, acids derived from fruits that have rejuvenating properties. The most common, in beauty, is glycolic acid with strong skin regeneration power. They are good ingredients for normal to dry skin with sun damage or scarring because they help to hydrate and improve collagen production.
Vitamin C, rich in rejuvenating actives, is proven to have a role in increasing collagen production, ie, reducing wrinkles.
Vitamin E, a common vitamin in most cosmetics, from shampoos to creams or scrubs.
Resveratrol, the most powerful of the antioxidants and, although it has been known for some years, it is only recently that the cosmetics industry has given it prominence.
