The science behind a good eye cream
Generally sold in smaller containers, eye creams are costly. On average, fifteen times more expensive than the same quality face cream, the price of eye cream can vary from 15 to 300 USD per 15 ml. What is so winning about it? What are you paying for, and what ingredients are scientifically proven to deliver the results?
The main reason to take good care of eyelids is that the skin around the eyes is the thinnest in the body, just under a millimeter. Eyelids are exposed to UV. Humans blink thousands of times every day, squint, move, and the surface of the most delicate skin deteriorates quickly. There is minimal to no fat under the skin around the eyes, making it very fragile and in need of extra hydration.
The global beauty industry has been projected to be valued at almost $400 B USD by 2020, with an average woman in the US spending up to $15 000 USD on skin products per lifetime. Eye creams, eye serums, and eye treatments are unquestionably on top of the list.
