Yes, You Really Do Need Eye Cream

Critical thinking is key when it comes to digesting information found on social media. Skincare content is no exception, especially when it comes to the question “Is eye cream really necessary?” Our multi-award-winning Marine Algae Eye Cream turns four this month, making it the perfect time for us to take on this controversial skincare topic with input from board certified dermatologist, Dr. Muneeb Shah. 

Is Eye Cream Necessary? Dr. Shah Weighs In

So what does “deliberate” use look like? Dr. Shah advises consumers to look for eye creams with treatment ingredients that address concerns specific to the fragile undereye area. “The skin around the eyes is actually quite different from the rest of the face,” says Dr. Shah. “It’s much thinner and has fewer oil glands.”

This thinner, dryer skin can show signs of aging — such as fine lines and wrinkles — earlier than the rest of the face, warranting extra TLC and targeted ingredients. “Many eye creams are specifically tested and targeted to the undereye area, These include ingredients like peptides to help brighten and tighten the under eye skin.”

“The Marine Algae Eye Cream is incredible,” says Dr. Shah. “It’s brightening, non-irritating, and helps with depuffing and fine lines.”
