3 Ingredients to Look for in Eye Wrinkle Creams

Trying to find the right eye wrinkle cream can be a tough task. Trying to find the perfect eye cream with the right ingredients is an entirely different matter. How can you know the right ingredients to search for? Here are 3 proven ingredients that work to firm your skin, improve the appearance of wrinkles, eliminate puffy eyes and keep your skin hydrated, healthy and youthful!
1. Cynergy TK: To be short, this ingredient helps replace keratin in your skin. Keratin, in turn, works to replace the collagen and elastin that is lost in your skin. You may be asking, “What is keratin in the first place?” Keratin is a protein that is very tough and strong. It’s found in places like your hair, nails and on the surface of your skin. Keratin ensures our skin is able to regenerate itself. Studies have shown that within 3 weeks, wrinkles are improved, fine lines are reduced and facial sagging improves. This is one ingredient you want to have in your eye cream!
2. Phytessence Wakame: This natural ingredient is actually derived from kelp, a type of seaweed or sea algae, found in and around Japan. Although this kelp is normally consumed, it has been found that this is an excellent ingredient in facial and eye wrinkle cream. It has a large assortment of nutrients such as calcium, minerals and vitamins. Phytessence Wakame also contains high amounts of iron and potassium. When all of these nutrients and ingredients collaborate, the result is moisturized and hydrated skin that keeps you looking healthy and young!
3. Eyeliss: This ingredient highly targets under eye bags. Puffiness is caused by a fluid build-up that is a result of poor drainage, loss of elasticity in your skin and damaged capillaries. Eyeliss directly works to eliminate all of those mentioned symptoms that cause puffy eyes! It works to reduce how much fluid your capillaries absorb, eliminate excess fluids that cause eye puffiness, firm up the skin around your eyes and minimize inflammation. This is a powerful ingredient that is a must-have!

Eye Wrinkle Cream Trends for 2009
April 20, 2009 by admin
Filed under Eye Wrinkle Cream
Here are some great eye wrinkle cream trends to watch for:
Trend 1: Cosmeceuticals. Cosmeceuticals are rapidly becoming the products people are paying attention to. Cosmeceuticals are a blend between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals in effort to medicinally relieve certain problem areas like under eye bags and eye wrinkles. Cosmeceuticals are on the rise due to scientific advancements in ingredients and breakthrough technologies. The new Clinique Medical line is a great example of this new approach to anti aging skin care introduced by Clinique, the maker of cosmetics and Allergan, a leader in medical aesthetics. Some cosmeceuticals like Clinique Medical are available only at a doctor’s office, while others like Perricone MD are readily available online.
Trend 2: Peptides and caffeine products are suddenly appearing. Studies are still inconclusive as to the long term benefits, but caffeine is shown to reduce bags under eyes and increase circulation while peptides are claimed to have anti-inflammatory properties to aid in adult acne and other skin conditions. Anti aging peptides will continue to be at the forefront of age reducing product lines in drugstores. One study at the World Congress of Dermatology in Paris found that a 50% reduction in eye wrinkles is possible when the skin is treated with a high concentration of peptides!
Trend 3: Topical antiseptics and anti-inflammatories. The following you will see in skin care: tea tree leaf, lavender oils, and algae extracts as they provide healing. Anti-inflammatories are on the up-rise as inflammation is what leads to so many degenerative diseases and skin conditions.
Trend 4: Skin care from the inside. With so much attention on the proven benefits of antioxidants as well as supplements are continually being developed to cater to people’s desire to eat healthier to improve their skin. Cosmetic companies are now including antioxidants, nutraceuticals, botanicals, and green tea. These are believed to penetrate the skin quickly to nourish and protect the skin. Dermalogica is one such skin care line that offers potent antioxidants in support of this trend. Some potent antioxidants that you will be hearing a lot about are: goji berry, turmeric root extract, resveratrol from grapes, and acai.
Trend 5: Probiotics. Skin care lines are using probiotics in their formulas. Probiotics refer to foods that contain the “good” bacteria that are similar to those normally found in your body – like yogurt. The companies who are adding probiotics to their products believe that it softens and exfoliates the skin. The problem is that most available research supports skin benefits when probiotics are taken internally as opposed to topically.
Be on the lookout for brands of skin care that support these trends as they are companies that are more likely to produce products that will give you optimal results.

If you are suffering from sleepless nights, you are most likely compromising your body’s ability to fight aging. A lot of us find it hard to get a full 8 hours every night, so it is nice when we can make up for some of the damage we’re causing our body by the lack of sleep we experience.

You Can Afford the Best Eye Wrinkle Creams
April 6, 2009 by Joanna
Filed under Eye Wrinkle Cream
This past weekend, I went to a “Meet the Experts” event at Macy’s, where professionals from each counter presented the latest and greatest beauty products. I have to admit, some of the new anti aging products seemed pretty amazing. However, what struck me the most was the prices! You don’t have to spend $80 or more to get an effective eye wrinkle cream. In fact, some of the best eye creams are $30 or less!
For example, Philosophy makes a great eye wrinkle cream called Eye Believe.
At only $30, Eye Believe contains ingredients found in the best eye creams: Retinol (vitamin A), tocopherol (vitamin E), protective oils and peptides. The combination of these ingredients will moisturize the eye area, stimulate collagen production, and provide antioxidant protection against free radicals that cause signs of aging such as eye wrinkles.
So, don’t think that the only effective eye wrinkle creams are the most expensive ones. It’s simply not true. You CAN find an affordable eye cream that will work for you. “Eye Believe” in you!
