What is the best eye treatment?  An eye gel, eye serum, or eye cream?

The answer will change depending on who you ask and what sort of experience you have with eye products. 

Let’s first look at what these products attempt to treat, and assume they all have the same common goals:

• Reduce or conceal dark under eye circles
• Reduce eye puffiness
• Cure dark circles
• Stimulate collagen regeneration under the eyes (this area of skin becomes thin QUICK)

Lastly, there is one BIG thing that people attempt to do with their eye products, and perhaps it’s the most common complaint among people who are 40+. 

Remove eye wrinkles!

Those nasty eye wrinkles, otherwise known as "crows feet," are probably the best example of what is bothering people as they age.  While they cannot be completely removed, they can be concealed greatly by using a daily eye product or eye wrinkle cream. 

Eye wrinkle creams (whether you buy it as an eye product or as an anti wrinkle cream) can effectively conceal wrinkles around the eyes.  For this matter, it’s worth nothing that the best active ingredient an eye product can contain is Argireline.  This anti aging breakthough ingredient has been called by some "the best needle free alternative to Botox injections."  That’s quite the comparison, and for people (like us) who fear the needle and don’t really want to make a big deal out of hiding wrinkles, an eye wrinkle cream is the best solution. 

Arigreline is commonly found in serums.  It’s just too hard to formulate into a cream, such as an eye cream.  That leads us back to the question we posed today – what is the best eye product, an eye cream, serum, or gel?  Well, if eye wrinkles are your concern, an eye serum is probably the route to go, as it has the ability to treat the affected area of skin in a much more direct manner than an eye cream. 

An eye cream is probably best for protecting your skin from future damage as a cream is much easier to mix with ingredients that provide a sun protection factor (spf).  For this reason, eye creams that contain spf are probably the best option for anyone who is looking for a preventative measure to fight the elements of the sun, providing your eye cream does have an adequate amount of spf. 

Eye gels have been gaining steam in recent years as an alternative to eye creams and serums.  While "gel" is a marketing word, it lacks the medicinal value of an eye serum.  You simply can’t pack in all of same anti aging ingredients in a gel as the best anti aging ingredients do not bond together when they are put in that form.  However, there are plenty of eye gels that can deliver a cure for eye bags and also work as a great moisturizing option.  Look for an eye gel that comes in a tube, as an airless pump can become clogged with the sticky gel.  A tube also offers a much more precise delivery of the product and saves money when compared to an airless pump.  The airless pumps are hard to maneuver sometimes  as they often spit out way too much of your product, and with the amount of money eye cream products sell for, it’s important you have an effective delivery system. 

So, the short answer, for those of you who emailed us, is that whenever you are looking for the best anti aging treatment to get rid of the many symptoms of aging, go with an eye serum.  The viscosity of serums allow for many more ingredients to be included in the formula.   If you are looking for something to protect you and moisturize the skin below your eyes, go with an eye cream.  If you find some ingredients in a certain eye gel that intrigue you, by all means, investigate it further and if you have any questions, email us:  sales@eyecream.com. 

You can never do too much homework when you buy eye creams, and that’s why we are the best eye cream resource on the web.  Consumers need to be kept up to date on the latest eye cream news, reviews, and trends.  Thanks for reading.

Below is an overview of the many topics we will cover in March of 2010. 

• Eye cream Ingredients:

A full analysis of several of the key ingredients that we are seeing in some of the recent eye creams coming to market.  We have been receiving MANY questions in particular about Matrixyl and Matrixyl 3000, copper peptides that are used in many anti aging eye & wrinkle creams.  In addition to identifying the history of these two ingredients, as well as the differences, we’ll cover concentration amounts used in some of the popular eye creams. The information being spread on the web differs quite a bit, depending on who you listen to.  There are many people out there reporting on this product that are affiliated with companies trying to sell inferior products, and quite frankly, they don’t know what they are talking about.   A website that reviews eye serums has done a pretty good job at covering this topic already, and we hope to expand on it.   You can read about Matrixyl & Matrixyl 3000 by following the link in the meantime. 

Other ingredients we will delve into this month include stem cells, gold and caviar.  While these seem like fads or marketing ploys, it’s hard to argue with the science behind these ingredients.  Don’t miss the research reports as these ingredients are popping up in new eye creams each month.

• Eye Cream Testers Wanted!

There are a few companies who have asked us to review their eye creams.  We thought that as a token of gratitude to our readers, we’ll pass along the opportunity to a few lucky people in return for a full, honest review.  If you are interested, please email sales@eyecream.com.  There is no cost associated with this opportunity, but it’s limited to 25 people, so don’t delay.  We have a general form with a few questions that we’ll ask you to fill out after you use the eye cream in it’s entirety.  We’ll also be asking for permission to post those reviews online as part of the program. 

• Eye Cream Glossary

We’ll be adding some often-used terms in the eye cream niche and give a definition of each, in Layman’s terms.  Since some of the best eye cream ingredients are cosmceceuticals and virtually unknown to first time eye cream buyers, it’s important they are defined properly.  We’ll also define some of the terms that are starting to be used more often in the eye cream industry.  If you look around, many of the top eye creams are actually serums.  We’ll define what this means for you as a potential buyer so you can understand what exactly you are investing in. 

Thanks for reading our eye cream portal.  We appreciate your comments, suggestions, and questions.  We couldn’t be the most popular eye cream portal without you.  Here’s to a great March!

The skin around the eyes is very delicate, thin and predisposed to becoming damaged from the lack of moisture in the skin. For this reason, it is important to ensure that the moisture levels within the skin to reduce the effects of aging on the surface of the skin, as well as through the inner layers of the cells.

How can you prevent the damage to the skin around the eyes that comes from dryness? First, one should ensure that there is an adequate level of protection that is available to the skin around the eye through the form of continuous moisture. The moisture can come from the inner layers of the skin as well as from the products that are able to introduce moisture in the skin.

Although the effects of dehydration can be seen throughout the outer layer of the skin, on the surface, the damage begins deep within the layers of the skin, with the reduction of collagen. Collagen is lost with age and can stop the skin from being provided with the moisture necessary to retain the youthful glow that is desired for the skin. Once the collagen levels become decreased throughout the layers of the skin, the lack of moisture causes dehydration through the multiple layers of the skin, before being seen through the outer layer, in the form of dry skin and this affect increases through the skin around the eyes.

The skin around the eyes is thinner, although having just as many layers, the damage that is completed to the inner layers of the skin around the eyes can be easier seen throughout the surface. A lack of moisture and dehydration through the skin around the eyes can often result in discoloration that we know of as dark circles that develop throughout the eye area and even the sagging that can occur through the upper lid of the eye. Ensuring that you use products to introduce moisture to the eye area that is reduced because of the environment can be an effective way to ensure that you are able to maintain the health of the skin throughout the entire eye area.
