Frequently asked questions
Which eye product should I start with for my main concern?
Which eye product should I start with for my main concern?
Match it to what bothers you: AluminEye Eye Serum or SkinCeuticals AOX+ Eye Gel for dark circles and puffiness, Medik8 Eyelift Peptides for the look of fine lines, and SkinCeuticals A.G.E Advanced Eye or iS Clinical Youth Eye Complex for crepey, slackening skin. If mornings are the problem, keep AlumierMD Eye Rescue Pads in the fridge for a quick de-puff.
How much eye cream do I use and how do I apply it?
How much eye cream do I use and how do I apply it?
Use a single grain-of-rice amount of AluminEye or Medik8 Eyelift Peptides per eye and tap it in with your ring finger along the orbital bone, not right up against the lash line. Work outward from the inner corner so you do not drag the delicate skin. Apply it before your face moisturiser so nothing blocks it from absorbing.
Can I use retinol around my eyes?
Can I use retinol around my eyes?
Yes, with an eye-specific formula. Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye and AlumierMD Retinol Eye Gel are buffered for the thinner skin around the eye, so you get the smoothing effect without the sting of a face retinol. Start twice a week at night and build up as your skin settles.
Should my daytime eye product have SPF?
Should my daytime eye product have SPF?
For daytime, yes — the skin around the eye creases first from UV exposure. Medik8 Advanced Day Eye Protect carries SPF 30 in a formula light enough to sit under concealer. Use it every morning as your daytime eye step, and save richer or active creams for the evening.
Which eye product brightens tired-looking eyes?
Which eye product brightens tired-looking eyes?
iS Clinical C Eye Serum Advanced+ and SkinCeuticals AOX+ Eye Gel both pack vitamin C to visibly brighten dullness and the look of dark circles. Roll them on each morning before SPF.
