Radiance around the eyes: targeted care for lasting luminosity
The skin around the eyes is one of the most sensitive areas of our face. It therefore needs special attention to maintain its youthfulness and vitality. The right formula can ensure that this sensitive area is not only nourished but also effectively protected. A well-cared-for eye area instantly gives the entire face more radiance and emphasises a fresh, vital appearance.
Why the eye area needs special care
The skin around the eyes is the thinnest on the entire face. This makes it particularly fragile, prone to sensitivity and often shows the first signs of ageing earlier than other areas. A specially formulated eye cream is essential here: it is gentle, non-irritating and dermatologically tested for the sensitive eye area. Such care not only moisturises, but also reduces dark shadows, fine lines and puffiness, visibly improving the radiance of the entire face.
Many conventional face creams contain active ingredients that are too intense for this sensitive area. An eye cream with specially formulated ingredients takes daily skincare to a new level and gives the eyes more radiance.
Key ingredients for well-cared-for, radiant eyes
– Antioxidants and protective substances
– Vitamin E (tocopherol): Strengthens the skin barrier, protects against free radicals and supports healing.
– Tsubaki oil (Camellia japonica): Rich in vitamins and polyphenols, it provides protection, deep moisture and improved elasticity.
– Vitamin C: Promotes collagen production, reduces wrinkles and pigmentation disorders – a real booster for more radiance.
– Fucus vesiculosus extract (bladderwrack): Rich in minerals, antioxidant and soothing.
– Chaga mushroom: Rich in melanin and glutathione, it supports healthy ageing and protects against UV damage.
Moisture boosters
Sodium lactate and sodium PCA support the skin’s moisture balance and provide gentle hydration.
Sunflower oil promotes regeneration of the skin barrier and leaves it feeling smooth.
Hyaluronic acid binds up to 1000 times its own weight in water.
Polyglutamic acid is even more effective than hyaluronic acid. It draws moisture deep into the skin and noticeably enhances radiance.
Anti-ageing power ingredients
Bakuchiol is the gentle alternative to retinol and smoothes without causing irritation.
Retinoids: Clinically proven to be effective against wrinkles.
Peptides support collagen formation and increase skin firmness.
Amino acids help retain moisture and strengthen the skin structure.
Nourishing emollients
Shea butter is rich in antioxidants and fatty acids and makes the skin supple.
Squalane is very skin-friendly, moisturises and improves the absorption of other active ingredients.
Active ingredient transporters
Safflower oleosomes: Ensure improved release of the active ingredients, revitalising the skin around the eyes and visibly enhancing its radiance.
Scientifically proven effectiveness
Studies clearly show that the eye area is significantly different from the rest of the face. Thinner skin, less fatty tissue and sebaceous glands make it more prone to dryness, wrinkles and environmental stress. Retinoids, peptides, caffeine and niacinamide are just a few examples of ingredients that have been proven to lead to smoother skin, less puffiness and increased radiance.
Another study showed that dietary supplements containing lutein, zeaxanthin, curcumin and vitamin D₃ can improve eye health from within – an innovative approach to promoting radiance at a systemic level.
Fragrance-free formulations for greater skin tolerance
As fragrances are among the most common triggers of skin irritation, eye care products should ideally be fragrance-free. This provides optimal protection for the sensitive skin around the eyes – for soothed, nourished skin with lasting radiance.
Conclusion: the key to radiant eye care
Effective eye care is based on scientifically proven ingredients that are specifically tailored to the needs of this sensitive area. Whether as a rich cream or a deeply effective serum, regular use brings visible results: fewer wrinkles, less puffiness and a more youthful appearance.
