The difference between eye cream and face cream

Skin care products are essential items for all women, including toner, facial masks, essences, face creams, eye creams, lotions, etc. However, there are still many girls in life who don’t understand these bottles and jars, especially face creams and eye creams. Although the ingredients of face cream and eye cream are similar, there are still big differences. Let’s take a look at the difference between eye cream and face cream.

From the application point of view

Eye cream: 1. It is used to protect the thinner layer of skin around the eyes and is one of the skin care cosmetics products.

2. Eye cream has moisturizing effect and can reduce the problem of dark circles and eye bags.

3. Eye cream also has the effect of improving wrinkles and fine lines.

Face cream: 1. Improves the texture and evenness of skin tone on the skin surface, making the skin more delicate.

2. Facial cream is the most important step in basic skin care. The whitening, anti-aging and other effective ingredients in the facial cream can be better absorbed by the skin.

3. Facial cream can be divided into two types: oil-in-water and oil-in-water. The former is easily absorbed and relatively refreshing, while the oil-in-water type is not easily absorbed and will feel greasy when applied.

4. Facial creams mainly have moisturizing, whitening and anti-aging functions. You should choose according to the characteristics of your facial skin.

From the perspective of the action area

Eye cream is for the skin around the eyes, while face cream is for the entire face. However, the skin around the eyes is relatively thin, only one-third or one-fifth of the skin on the face, while other areas of the face are much thicker than the skin around the eyes. Relatively speaking, the metabolic and absorption abilities of the skin around the eyes are worse than those of other areas.

In terms of ingredients

Facial creams are usually more moisturizing and have a higher glycerol content, which can lock in moisture better. However, the stratum corneum of the skin around the eyes is thin and has poor absorption capacity. Too much oil will only cause excess nutrition and become a burden on the eyes. Eye creams have a clearer and more moisturizing texture, which increases the moisturizing ability without appearing thick.

In addition, eye cream is used to protect the thinner layer of skin around the eyes. It has a moisturizing effect. In addition to reducing dark circles and eye bags, it also has the effect of improving wrinkles and fine lines. It has certain effects on eye bags, dark circles, crow's feet, etc. Facial cream is the most important step in basic skin care. The whitening, anti-aging and other effective ingredients in facial creams and lotions can be better absorbed by the skin. The dual anti-aging effect can stimulate cell regeneration energy, promote collagen synthesis, improve the texture and evenness of skin color on the surface, and make the skin more delicate. It also contains a light filtering system that provides SPF15 and Moringa extract that can protect the skin against environmental pollution, keeping the skin from direct damage from the sun.
