What a good eye cream needs to do
The eye area needs its own products. The reason: facial creams are often too rich, can cause milia (small white bumps) and the active ingredients are not tailored to the particularly thin skin around the eyes. Eye creams solve this differently - lighter textures, more targeted active ingredients, less risk.
The Colorescience Total Eye 3-In-1 Renewal Therapy SPF 35 solves three problems in one step: eye care with peptides and hyaluronic acid, coverage of dark circles with tinting, and mineral sun protection. For most customers, this is the most practical solution for everyday use.
For intensive anti-aging, the ZO Skin Health Intense Eye Creme with Retinol and growth factors is designed. The iS Clinical Youth Eye Complex and Eye Complex deliver highly concentrated peptides and vitamin C for the eye area.
A mistake we often see: applying eye cream too close to the lash line. The products migrate towards the eye on their own overnight due to body heat. Apply the cream to the orbital bone, not directly on the lid.
In our cosmetics studio in Cologne, we see daily how varied eye problems can be - from genetically caused dark circles to allergic swelling. Dr. med. Niels Freitag always recommends sun protection for the eye area as a first step, because UV radiation exacerbates dark circles and wrinkles. The Colorescience Total Eye is the product we, as an authorized specialist dealer, most frequently recommend for the eye area.

Common Questions About Eye Care
Why a separate eye cream?
The skin around the eyes is about four times thinner than the rest of the face and has almost no sebaceous glands. Regular face creams can cause milia there or irritate the eyes. Eye creams are formulated more lightly and contain active ingredients in concentrations suitable for this delicate zone.
Which eye cream helps with dark circles?
It depends on the type of dark circles. Bluish shadows are best concealed with a tinted eye care product like the Colorescience Total Eye 3-In-1. Brownish hyperpigmentation responds well to Vitamin C and peptides - in this case, the iS Clinical Eye Complex is a good choice.
At what age should I start using eye cream?
From the mid-20s, a light eye cream is advisable - preventatively, not just when wrinkles become visible. The eye area ages faster than the rest of the face. Sun protection for the eye area is important at any age.
Can I also use eye cream on my upper eyelid?
Basically yes, but sparingly. On the upper lid, too much product can get into the eyes and cause irritation. Apply thinly and only use light textures.
How to apply eye cream correctly?
Gently tap in with your ring finger, do not rub. Apply along the orbital bone, not directly on the lash line. Your body heat will automatically distribute the product towards the eye overnight. Quantity: pea-sized for both eyes is sufficient.
