"For eyelids and around the eyes" is the standard wording that appears on all relevant tubes and jars. Interestingly, the usual division into skin types does not exist here. It would seem that it is impossible to make a mistake. But after buying the next product and the lack of results, the question arises in my head: "What are we doing wrong?" Let's figure it out.
Major mistakes in caring for the most delicate skin
- We don't protect our 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 eye gels. Even the lightest texture can provide optimal nutrition.
- We don't read the label. Often we apply an ordinary product to the area around the eyes, which does not satisfy the needs of the dermis one iota. But the fact is that it's time to learn to "see" the composition, which is indicated on the package. Here we smear the texture on the skin,adapted to smooth wrinkles, and hopefully eliminate puffiness and dark circles.
- Misuse. A lot - does not mean effective! Excess funds can easily get on the mucous membrane (especially at night) and cause swelling, which can cause you to wake up with bags under your eyes. Remember: the optimal dosage amount is equivalent to the size of a grain of rice.

And mallow extract prevents early aging, relieves irritation.
Reviews of eye gel claim that the product is able to soothe the burning sensation that occurs from prolonged work at the computer. The cooling effect depends on how much product you use. If it is just a little, then there will be no result. As for moisturizing, the gel copes with this task by 100%. But only after application, a sticky film forms on the eyelids, which disappears after 3 hours.
