DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
👁EYE CREAM
👁EYE SERUM
👁EYE GEL
Eye creams, serums, and gels function the same way, so one might think they’re interchangeable. But looking beyond the surface, there are some differences that make them more suitable for specific skin types and concerns.
👀EYE CREAMS:
Eye creams are best for boosting hydration under the eyes and restoring the skin barrier. This improves moisture retention, thus keeping the skin supple and soft, making it less likely for deep static wrinkles to set in. The earlier you get started on incorporating an eye cream into your routine, the better. If you’re in your 20s, be sure to look out for eye creams with hydration as its focus.
👀EYE SERUMS:
Eye serums are packed with a potent mix of active ingredients that address everything from dark circles to wrinkles. Because of their strength and ability to reach the deeper layers of skin, they function best as reparative treatments. They also target existing aging signs and make them appear less pronounced.
👀EYE GELS:
Eye gels are light, watery, and typically contain lesser active ingredients. The formulation of eye gels is refreshing and quickly absorbed, making it ideal for hydrating oily or sensitive skin. They also often have brightening or de-puffing ingredients like caffeine, which serve as a great pick-me-up for tired eyes.
