Eye Cream and Lip Products
Eye creams can be expensive, and I think that is partly because we notice the aging around our eyes, especially dark circles and fine lines. So we're willing to pay more to try to improve the skin around our eyes. Here are some good eye creams and eye protection products and some good lip care products.

Dermalogica
Total Eye Care SPF 15
$41.00

Eyes and Eyelids - I have some patients who go all over town looking for this to buy. 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. Use this in the morning over the Cellex-C Eye Cream. Make-up goes on well over this product, too.

Cellex-C
Eye Contour Cream Plus
$77.00

Antioxidant - Contains Vitamin C and lycopene (tomato). Eye creams always seem expensive to me, and this is no exception. But this jar is large and should last you 6 to 12 months. It does seem to reduce the appearance of fine lines and has an excellent moisturizer. Makeup goes on well over it. Use this under the Dermalogica Total Eye Care and under your makeup.

Topix
Replenix Intensive Eye Lightening Serum
$70.00

Eye Cream - This is a good eye lightening serum that helps with darkness under the eyes and tightening the skin around the eyes. Although it says it has moisturizers, use it at night before bed underneath a moisturizer (put your moisturizer on over this!). Or use your Cellex-C eye cream over it.

SkinCeuticals
Eye Balm
$78.00

Antioxidants/Post Menopausal - 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.

SkinCeuticals
A.G.E. Eye Complex
$85.00

Anti-glycation - More moisturizing than the Eye Balm. Like the facial moisturizer with the same A.G.E. name, this is an interesting product because one cause of aging (in all tissues, not just skin) is glycation whereby sugar molecules stick to proteins causing them to malfunction (in skin think collagen and elastic fibers). The blueberry extract, phytosphingosine, and proxylane help prevent these changes in cells in cultures in the lab. How they really function in live humans is still in question with no large studies in people. It’s a good idea but the jury’s still out I think. Expensive but I’d recommend it if cost is not a big issue or you’re over 50. Our patient response has been quite favorable.
