Which is better, eye cream or eye serum?

In life, many people pay more attention to eye care. We will find that we will have dark circles and big bags under the eyes after sleeping. At this time, we need to use some eye cream or eye essence to modify our eyes. Many people often cannot judge whether eye cream or eye essence is better. Let us take a look at the introduction about them below.

Eye cream advantages comparison

Eye Cream vs Eye Serum

Small molecules = strong penetration = more obvious effect

The molecules of the essence are smaller, and combined with high-tech conduction technology, the ingredients can penetrate deeply into the basal layer and dermis, which has a more solid and long-term effect on anti-aging and firming. The eye cream molecules are larger and can stay in the epidermis and retain moisture. Both are essential for perfect eye skin.

Rich in active ingredients, yet refreshing in texture

Eye serum has less emulsifiers and a lighter texture. With less thickener, it feels more watery and penetrates quickly without feeling sticky. Without thickeners, emulsifiers and other preparations that actually have no nutritional value, the maintenance ingredients can be more refined.

Refreshing degree: Eye serum > Eye cream

Active ingredient concentration: Eye serum > Eye cream

Moisturizing degree: Eye cream > Eye essence

Eye Cream vs. Eye Wrinkle Smoothing Agent

Eye cream focuses on nutrition, and users mostly use it to target eye nutrition problems such as dark circles and eye bags; wrinkle smoothing agents focus on removing eye wrinkles, with the main effect of smoothing out crow's feet, wrinkles at the corners of the eyes and other wrinkles. They should be distinguished according to needs when used.

Selection Method

Does eye cream work for eye bags?

That also depends on what type of eye bags you have. If it is edema type eye bags, eye cream is of course useful. Speeding up blood circulation and adding some patting and massage, removing edema is not a problem at all. But fat type eye bags are difficult to eliminate. In addition to genetic reasons, this type of eye bags is also caused by sagging skin. Anti-aging eye cream can proliferate collagen, which can support the skin around the eyes and make the eye bags look less obvious. As for wrinkles, they take time to form and eye cream is not a miracle cure. It can only slowly lighten fine lines and slow down their formation to a certain extent. After all, prevention is the key to all maintenance.

Does eye cream work for dark circles?

Frankly speaking, it is basically useless for hereditary dark circles. But the causes of dark circles are very complex. It may also be due to sinus inflammation caused by allergies, which causes the blood vessels under the eyes to dilate. If you wear makeup every day, the irritation and friction of the brushes around the eyes can also cause the capillaries under the eyes to rupture. Amy Wechsler, associate professor of dermatology at the State University of New York, once said: "Eye cream has no effect on vasodilation and broken capillaries." Ask yourself again, has there been any improvement in your attitude towards staying up late? If the answer is no, don't put all the blame on the eye cream. But eye cream can indeed speed up blood circulation and remove carbon dioxide. For example, ingredients such as caffeine, vitamin B3, palm extract, and amaranth can help pigment metabolism.
