In today’s information overload, it can be challenging to determine which claims deserve our attention. The skin care industry is filled with statements that can leave even the most level-headed person feeling overwhelmed. Focus on eye care claims, and you're likely to raise an eyebrow or two.
However, one thing is clear: skepticism is a valuable trait. Maintaining an inquisitive mindset in the face of uncertainty is a practice that often proves beneficial.
With this curiosity as its guiding principle, this article addresses whether using an eye serum or eye cream is essential for caring for the skin around the eyes. It also explores the anatomy of the periorbital region and explains the benefits of vitamin and antioxidant-rich formulations designed to hydrate and support this sensitive area of the face—without any sensationalism.
THE SENSITIVE STRUCTURE OF THE EYE REGION
The periorbital region has skin that is thinner than that of the rest of the face, making it particularly fragile. This area contains fewer sebaceous glands, leading to reduced oil production and an increased risk of dehydration and dryness. Additionally, natural moisture loss, genetic predisposition to dark under-eye circles, and the visible effects of fatigue and seasonal allergies contribute to the need for extra care in this delicate region.
Maintaining this area requires gentle daily cleansing and the use of hydrating formulations. Eye care products must also address another common characteristic: the skin’s heightened sensitivity and tendency to react easily.
Therefore, a specialised formulation is necessary—one that provides targeted support for the skin around the eyes without causing irritation. Sandō has devoted significant research, development, and testing to create a range of effective eye care products.
SMOOTHING EYE CREAM
Our smoothing eye cream has a fresh feeling, silky cream texture will help tighten and smooth the skin around the eyes. Ceramides shield the skin with a protective barrier and help prevent the loss of moisture and improve firmness and elasticity. The eye area looks more fresh and youthful.
HOW TO USE
Use daily in the morning and evening. Apply a small amount to the eye contour using your ring finger, gently tapping the product into the skin for an awakening ritual.
