There is no magic eye cream out there that can remove wrinkles, dark eye circles and reduce puffiness in the lower eye lids. Habits like frequent squinting, near work and lack of rest all add to the visible problems around the eye.
As the skin around the eyes is more sensitive, thinner and prone to dryness, eye creams are usually formulated to contain active ingredients to address some of these issues. You can still use your facial lotion and pat it gently around the eyes. But if you choose to use an eye cream or serum, choose one that contains hyaluronic acid (hydrates), ceramides (retain moisture), retinol (promotes new cell growth or regeneration) and neuropeptides (increase the production of collagen and elastin production), vitamin C (collagen production), vitamin E (nourishes and soothes skin).
