silmävoiteissa

Silmävoiteissa are cosmetic products specifically formulated for the delicate skin around the eyes. This skin is thinner and more prone to dryness and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles compared to the skin on the rest of the face. Eye creams are designed to address these concerns with targeted ingredients.

Common ingredients found in eye creams include hyaluronic acid for hydration, peptides to stimulate collagen production and reduce wrinkles, antioxidants like vitamin C and E to protect against environmental damage, and retinol for cell turnover and wrinkle reduction. Some formulations may also contain ingredients like caffeine to reduce puffiness and dark circles, and ceramides to strengthen the skin barrier.

The application of eye cream is typically done by gently dabbing a small amount onto the orbital bone using the ring finger, which applies the least pressure. This method helps to avoid pulling or stretching the sensitive skin. Eye creams can be used as part of a morning and evening skincare routine, and are often applied before moisturizer to allow for better absorption of their concentrated ingredients. While some users find them beneficial for improving the appearance of their eye area, others may not see significant results, and individual responses can vary.
