“For the eyelids and the area around the eyes” is the standard formulation that is present on all relevant tubes and jars. Interestingly, the usual separation of skin types does not exist here. It would seem impossible to make a mistake. But after buying another product and the lack of results in my head, the question arises: "What are we doing wrong?" Let's get it right.
The main mistakes in the care of the most delicate skin
- Do not protect the eyes. Remember: sunglasses are a must in summer. The best way to preserve youth and beauty is high-quality and dark glasses. By the way, as such, there is no division into summer and winter gels. Even the lightest texture can provide optimal nutrition.
- Do not read the label. Often we apply a regular product to the area around the eyes that does not satisfy the dermis one iota. But the fact is that it is time to learn how to "see" the composition, which is indicated on the package. So we smear a texture on the skin, adapted to smooth wrinkles, and hope to eliminate edema and dark circles.
- Incorrect use. A lot does not mean effective! Excess funds can easily get on the mucous membrane (especially at night) and cause swelling, due to which you can wake up with bags under the eyes. Remember: the optimal dosage amount is equivalent to the size of rice grains.
Best care assistants
1. Pep-Start Eye Cream by Clinique. A creamy texture moisturizing eye gel works for 24 hours 7 days a week. Thanks to the special formula Pep-tinitm cocktail, the product shows an instant effect. And in the fight against a tired look, a cooling roller helps. For best results, store the product in the refrigerator.
2. Roll-On Collagene Regard from Thalgo. Collagen gel with a roller applicator is unique in that the distribution of the composition over the skin is ensured by three metal rollers, due to which the dosage of the active components is not disturbed. The product is applied with massage movements. Thus, microcirculation improves, which means that dark circles disappear, swelling decreases and wrinkles are smoothed out.
3. Multi-Active from Clarins. Eye cream gel is intended for women from 30 years old, who are active, where there are deadlines, constant lack of sleep and stress. The formula is enriched with phytoextracts, which significantly reduce puffiness, dark circles and small wrinkles in the corners of the eyes. The instant effect is achieved thanks to the cryometallic applicator.
4. Revitalizing Supreme + by Estée Lauder. The multifunctional remedy from the French premium brand eliminates dehydration, loss of elasticity, age and facial wrinkles once or twice. A massage applicator with a cooling effect improves microcirculation and instantly charges the dermis with energy. Another indisputable plus of the product is ease of use and the ability to carry.

Vitex Mesocream Gel
There are legends about this tool on the Internet. The Belarusian brand once again pleases not only with a pleasant price, but also with a quality product. Judge for yourself: a gel, the cost of which is only 300 rubles, can render the skin:
- food;
- hydration;

- lifting;
- Helps eliminate swelling and dark circles.
The light texture of mesocreme gel also restores the optimal moisture level of the dermis. Optim Hyal formula stimulates the natural synthesis of hyaluronic acid, increasing the elasticity, firmness and density of the skin. The Beautifeye complex is responsible for the lifting effect, which reduces wrinkles, brightens dark spots and reduces swelling.
Active components of Vitex Eye Gel:

Product reviews warn that a slight tingling is possible after application, which disappears after some time.
Planet Organics Cooling Gel
According to the manufacturer, the product provides intensive hydration, combats signs of fatigue, smoothes out fine wrinkles and gives elasticity. Due to the presence in the formula of an organic extract of northern linnea, the gel protects the dermis from the negative effects of external factors. A mallow extract prevents early aging, relieves irritation.
Reviews about the gel for the eyelids claim that the product is able to calm the burning sensation that arises from prolonged use of the computer. The cooling effect depends on how much money you use. If quite a bit, then there will be no result. As for hydration, the gel copes with this task 100%. But only after application, an adhesive film forms on the eyelids, which disappears after 3 hours.
