Eye cream against wrinkles – always eye happy
The skin around the eyes is particularly delicate, thinner than the rest of the face, and correspondingly sensitive. Therefore, special eye care that preserves the youthful radiance of the eyes, as a window to the personality, makes sense on every cosmetics counter. Eye cream is an absolutely essential part of the daily care routine. It helps reduce the signs of natural aging, protects the skin around the eyes, and makes the entire area look healthy and radiant. Important: It should be an eye care product suitable for your personal skin condition and formulated with natural anti-aging ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or shea butter. Our recommendation is AMIE Natural Vitalizing Eye Cream. This high-quality eye care product is optimally tailored to the skin around the eyes and nourishes it with selected active ingredients. These include prickly pear oil to slow skin aging, rice silk for a gently smoothing priming effect, and rainbow algae extract to combat dark spots, redness, and dark circles. Because AMIE is designed as a vegan eye cream, it contains no animal-derived ingredients or by-products, and none of its active ingredients have been tested on animals. This makes it an ethical choice for protective skincare for the eye area.
Because it contains significantly fewer sebaceous glands and fewer collagen, the skin around the eyes is thinner than the rest of the face. This makes it more susceptible to moisture loss, and this is where fine lines and wrinkles usually first form. This is a completely natural skin aging process that is further accelerated by daily stressors such as UV rays, environmental pollution, and stress. Therefore, it is crucial for a fresh look to pay special attention to this sensitive area with an eye cream. To specifically address the specific needs of the skin around the eyes, eye creams are formulated according to very specific guidelines. Their textures are generally lighter so that the care can be absorbed quickly, and the active ingredient molecules are usually smaller. To reduce the visible signs of aging, one of the most effective ingredients in eye cream is hyaluronic acid. A natural component of the skin that is known for its extreme moisture-binding abilities. With increasing age, the amount of the body's own hyaluronic acid decreases, to which the skin reacts with dryness, wrinkles, and a loss of elasticity. An eye cream with hyaluronic acid can help alleviate these problems by keeping the skin around the eyes hydrated and supple. This powerful ingredient attracts moisture and binds it to the skin's surface, filling in fine lines and wrinkles. The result is a smoother and firmer appearance. Hyaluronic acid in eye cream can also stimulate collagen production. This improves skin elasticity and helps reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness.
Smoothing eye cream for men and women
Proper application of eye cream is crucial for achieving the best results. Here's a simple daily eye care routine that's always important, regardless of gender or age:
- Cleansing: The first step in a skincare routine is to thoroughly cleanse the face and eye area. In addition to REINE Facial Cleansing Oil, various mild natural cosmetic cleansing lotions are suitable for this – provided they are specifically designed for the sensitive skin around the eyes and, ideally, like REINE, also gently remove makeup.
-
Eye cream: Gently dab a small amount of eye cream into the skin around the eyes with your ring finger. Why use your ring finger? Because it exerts less pressure than your index finger. Never massage the eye cream vigorously into the skin, as this can damage the delicate skin structures.
- Sunscreen: Applying sunscreen suitable for the eye area every morning is highly recommended. UV rays are one of the main factors for premature skin aging, so sun protection is a must. If your skin or the mucous membranes of your eyes react to sunscreen, you should at least bring sunglasses with you when you're outdoors. Both their size and the lenses offer protection against the effects of UV rays on the dermis.
-
Makeup: Finally, apply your eye makeup as usual—preferably with UND GRETEL's certified natural cosmetics, which are also ideal for sensitive eyes. At the end of the day, REINE, together with the REINE CLOTH , thoroughly cleanses the entire eye area again of sebum, makeup, and environmental pollution.
To deeply pamper the eye area, a weekly skincare routine is also a good idea. Since peels, even enzyme-based ones, are often too harsh for the delicate skin around the eyes, this recommendation is not without risk. But as a pampering treatment, a soothing, nonwoven eye mask can work wonders, firming, brightening, and reducing puffiness. A tip: In the Bright Eyes Set, AMIE and the TUNKAL concealer in your desired shade work together to provide care and the optical lift of an evenly brightened eye area!
Natural cosmetic eye care: active ingredient safety for the skin
In addition to hyaluronic acid, other key active ingredients stimulate skin cells and can visually reduce the signs of aging. These core ingredients make the fast-absorbing AMIE eye cream so appealing:
-
Antioxidants help keep skin healthy and radiant. In AMIE, cold-pressed prickly pear seed oil with a high antioxidant content slows the aging process. Phytosterols can strengthen skin's elasticity and have a noticeably revitalizing and moisturizing effect. Vitamin E additionally protects cells from free radicals.
- Eyebright extract has soothing and astringent properties. Puffiness and dark circles can be reduced because the essence of this alpine plant improves blood circulation in the skin.
- Rice silk from rice grain husks is hydrated silica and a mattifying, texturizing ingredient in the eye cream. It has a soft-focus effect that visually smooths out fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Rainbow algae extract: As well as a brightening eye cream for dark spots, AMIE scores with a genuine anti-aging boost from the sea. The essence of a hand-harvested underwater plant, shimmering from green to violet to blue, is said to visually balance imperfections and make the skin appear more refined.
Hyperpigmentation, the localized or widespread appearance of darker skin discoloration, doesn't stop at the skin around the eyes. As a natural cosmetic, AMIE contains a highly natural lightening extract instead of the harsh active ingredients found in conventional cosmetics. With regular use of the hyaluronic eye cream, your skin tone will become noticeably more even.
And because the skin around the eyes can generally react sensitively to external influences, a good eye cream should also be fragrance-free. A fragrance-free eye cream prevents irritation, both on the skin around the eyes and on the delicate mucous membranes. Possible reactions to fragranced products in the immediate vicinity of the eyes include redness, burning, and itching. Thanks to its very clean formulation, AMIE is an ideal eye cream for sensitive skin.
Rich eye cream: Firms and smooths mature skin
People with a tendency toward sensitive skin need to pay just as much attention to the ingredients when choosing a natural cosmetic eye cream that's right for them. Therefore, the soothing and antioxidant, i.e. anti-inflammatory, elements in AMIE's formula prevent irritation from the outset. It's just as perfect as an eye cream for dry skin as it is for all other skin conditions. The AMIE active ingredient mix also includes the all-rounder castor oil. Since this plant-based ingredient not only boosts collagen but also counteracts dry and blemished skin, the eye cream also makes sense for oily skin. Castor oil, as a cosmetic ingredient, generally keeps the skin's natural protective barrier intact—a crucial prerequisite for radiantly healthy, youthfully firm-looking skin.
When choosing an eye cream for sensitive skin, it's best to conduct a small test to ensure it doesn't cause any adverse reactions. To do this, apply a small amount of the eye cream to an inconspicuous area and wait to see if your skin reacts positively. If, in exceptional circumstances, this isn't the case and a dermatologist confirms the intolerance, UND GRETEL's Happiness Guarantee always applies. This way, you can order the firming eye cream online risk-free.
