- Hey everyone,
and welcome back to the Adore Beauty YouTube Channel.
My name is, Amelia, in today's video
we're gonna be talking about eye products
and how to find the best one for your eye concerns.
So eye products or eye treatments are pretty divisive topic.
Not everybody feels like they need them
and not everybody does
but if you feel like you do need an eye product,
here's why you might,
the skin around our eyes is thinner
and that makes it more delicate.
So there are eye creams or treatments that are targeted
to treat different issues that might occur in our eye area
that won't occur on the rest of our face.
And some of those things could be dark circles,
it could be puffiness,
it could be lines and wrinkles
from squinting, smiling, just facial movement in general,
and it can also be irritation or dryness.
And then there are different textures
that you can get in our products
and they suit different skin types.
So you might have an eye cream,
which is great for somebody who has dry skin.
You might want a serum or a gel if you have oilier skin,
or if you just like the feel of that on your skin.
Okay, first step in our list of concerns is, dark circles.
So there are different types of dark circles.
Brown dark circles can be sun damage
they can be genetic, it can be irritation.
Then you have the ones that appear more blue or purple
and that's usually from the thinness of the skin
around your eyes and how visible your blood vessels are.
In our list of concern is dark circles.
This is usually hereditary.
So your mum or dad has dark circles
then you might get them to, it's more than likely.
It can also be lifestyle based, stress related.
I would go for a product that has Vitamin C
the Murad Vita-C dark circle corrector
is a really great eye treatment for that
because it targets all types of dark circles,
blue purple, brown, and red.
This eye treatment also has hydrating ingredients
and micro minerals to help give you an instant
brightening effect.
So next up we have puffiness.
If you are like me and wake up first thing in the morning
with puffy eyes, then you want to be looking for,
an eye treat them that has caffeine.
Caffeine is a really great ingredient
because it helps to reduce the appearance
of puffiness by constricting the blood vessels.
A couple of eye creams that have caffeine in them
are the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye
and The Ordinary Caffeine Solution of 5%, EGCG.
And that is a really great lightweight eye treatment
that helps to reduce puffiness,
but also hydrates the under eye area.
Another option is to use eye patches.
These are my favourite way to treat puffiness
because you can keep them in the fridge.
Revolution Skincare has some really great eye patches.
They are the Gold Eye Hydrogels hydrating eye patches
with colloidal gold.
They are really great because they're basically a gel patch
that sticks onto the under eye area
you can leave them on for five, 10, 15 minutes.
And when I take them off,
I also noticed that my eyes are brighter as well,
which is great.
I've always kept them in the fridge,
the corners from the fridge combined with the ingredients
in the eye gel or the eye patch,
really helps with depuffing the eyes.
Next up we have anti-aging eye treatments.
So the first one we're gonna talk about
is more of a preventative eye treatment,
and that is the Cosmedix Opti Crystal Liquid Crystal
eye serum.
It treats a number of different issues.
So we have copper peptides, to prevent sagging.
We have antioxidants,
to protect against environmental damage,
turmeric, jojoba and moringa to soothe, firm and brighten
and then it also helps to hydrate as well.
So you can see why that one would be really popular
because it targets different issues.
The texture of this eye treatment is really cool as well.
It's quite thin, and it also has a really fun
holographic sort of look to it
that blends in pretty seamlessly,
but also does help to give you kind of like
an instant brightening effect.
So staying within the anti-aging group,
but you might have lines and wrinkles already,
and you wanna just kind of soften the appearance of them.
You might wanna look at an eye treatment that has retinol.
I love the Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Serum,
because it has tri-active retinol technology.
It has an instant dose of retinol.
It has a retinol that works over time,
and then it also has a retinol booster
to help strengthen the effects
and on top of that,
it also has ingredients to help hydrate
and also help with circulation around the eye area.
So retinol is really great because it speeds up cell renewal
and it does help to soften the appearance of lines.
It is probably my favourite ingredient for treating lines
and wrinkles in the skin.
This eye treatment is really great
because it was formulated for all skin types,
including sensitive.
So you shouldn't get any irritation from using it.
And next up we have dryness and trying to say something
that a lot of people suffer from
and it's also one of the things that can lead
to the first signs of ageing.
So you wanna look for products that have hydrating
ingredients more amalian ingredients,
especially if you have flakiness under the eye area.
I really love the Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with avocado.
It is a really beautiful rich eye treatment.
It's almost like a bomb and it leaves a sheen on the skin,
which I find really satisfying.
It has avocado oil, it has shea butter and Vitamin E.
So it has that antioxidant protection from the Vitamin E
and the avocado oil and shea butter
are really rich in amalian ingredients to help hydrate
and smooth under the eye area
and also help to keep moisture in.
Now, if you're on the opposite end of the spectrum,
and you have more oiliness under the eye areas,
then you might just want to use an eye serum.
So you could go for the Dermalogica BioLumin-C,
and that is a really great serum with Vitamin C
and it also has Arjun tree extract
which is an antioxidant and chia seeds oil
for some hydration without being too heavy
or if you are oily then you might just wanna go
for an eye patch just to kind of give you
that boost of hydration and brightening
and depuffing without having to put on an actual
treatment product.
And then finally, if you have a sensitive skin,
then you might wanna look for products
that have very few ingredients and also ingredients
that are meant to help suit the under area.
I really love La Roche-Posay Toleriane range.
I think it's really great for sensitive skin
and they have an eye cream.
It is their Ultra Eye Contour Cream,
and it's packed with eczema, neurosensing
and thermal spring water.
So it's really, anti-inflammatory,
it's gonna to help to hydrate
and it also helps to strengthen up the skin barrier
around your eyes, which we kn/ow is so important
because that skin is really delicate and thin.
So that about wraps it up.
I hope that helped you to figure out which eye cream
is best for you.
