Eye Creams

Experts have mixed views on the effectiveness of eye creams.

1. Varied Opinions:

   • Jessica DeFino on the Liz Moody Podcast argues that eye creams might be unnecessary and overpriced, suggesting that regular skincare can be used around the eyes. She also mentions that dark under-eye circles may sometimes be due to allergies 1.
   • Victoria Fu and Gloria Lu from Forever35 discuss how the eye area is complex, influenced by many factors like health and bone structure, making it tough for any eye cream to be universally effective. They find eye creams often similar to moisturizers, emphasizing that retinoids might help with wrinkles but not other concerns 2.

2. Recommendation for Specific Ingredients:

   • Kate Spencer and Doree Shafrir on Forever35 suggest looking for peptide-focused eye creams. They mention products like IS Clinical Youth Eye Complex and alternatives such as Paula's Choice Resist Anti-Aging Eye Gel as effective options for brightening and reducing puffiness 3.
