Eye Area and Lip Products


 E-mailPrintSaveSave as PDF

Eye creams can be expensive. Are they worth it? Here are the pros and cons. Just starting to use a simple moisturizer around the eye area will help (yes - even Cetaphil). The more expensive eye creams contain various antioxidants, Vitamin A cousins, Vitamin K, anti-glycation compounds, etc which are marketed for specific the problems of eyelid skin. In my opinion, they are worth it but you may need to try several to find the one that suits you best. Eyelid skin is thinner, lacks oil glands, is prone to dark circles and to irritation. If a cream stings, burns or turns you red, stop using it!

Antioxidants/Vit K/Peptides/All Types - So few products work for dark circles that even modest success is noteworthy. Contains 90% green tea polyphenols, Vitamin K, Arnica and Peptides. Still a great product.

SkinCeuticals - Eye Balm

Antioxidants/Soy/Vit E All Types - A medium weight eye cream for day and night. Contains soy (plumps), silymarin (gentle antioxidant), a marine extract, Vitamin E, and aloe in a fairly moisturizing base. It won’t make us look 30 again but a very nice eye cream. In my opinion, worth the extra money over a drugstore product. The soy can be helpful if post menopausal.

Antioxidant/Anti-Glycation - The gentle antioxidant (in this case plant flavanoids) with peptides are present in other eye creams. What's new here is the addition of the blueberry extract which slows down glycation of collagen and elastin. Glycation of these causes breakdown of the collagen/elastin fibers over time. Interesting product but again, the problem is that what works in cells in a lab doesn't always work in live humans. Most of our patients who used this product got nice results.

SkinCeuticals - AOX Eye Gel

Gel/Antioxidant - Contains L-ascorbic 5%, phoretin 1%, ferrulic .5% (last two plant based antioxidants). Best eye area antioxidant. Can be a little drying so try applying it, waiting a few minutes and using a moisturizer over it if needed.

Skin Medica - TNS Night Eye Repair

Cell growth factors/antioxidants/peptides - Ignore the name and use it during the day too under eye makeup. Has the trademark TNS cell growth factors, peptides, Vitamins A, C & E.

NeoCutis - LUMIERE Bio-Restorative Eye Cream

NeoCutis

Protein Blend/Hyaluronic acid/All Types – This one is interesting and supported by a study in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology. Contains PSP which is just their term for a soup of human growth factors, cytokines and interleukins (cell activators). This product seems to work but my guess is Neocutis doesn’t know exactly what in it is working. It’s worth trying, in my opinion.

Dermalogica - Total Eye Care SPF 15

Dermalogica

Eyes and Eyelids - I have some patients who go all over town looking for this to buy. Consider using this daily if you really don’t like to wear sunglasses and/or work outdoors. I like it particularly because it has titanium dioxide, a great mineral sunblock that protects the skin around your eyes and won't cause irritation or sting your eyes. Make-up goes on well over this product, too.

Jack Black - Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25

Jack Black

Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25

$7.50

Available at your local drugstore at an affordable price. Price shown is approximate.

Lips/SPF – Glossy, comes in a range of great flavors and the SPF really helps keep your lips from getting wrinkled and faded from sun damage. Not to mention helping to prevent skin cancers on the lips which are common!

Jane Iredale - Lip Drink Lip Balm SPF 15

Jane Iredale

Lip Drink Lip Balm SPF 15

$10.50

Lips/SPF – Our patients love this product too. It is a great lip moisturizer, with sun protection also. The Jack Black is glossier – this one is more matte.
