The skin around the eyes is up to four times thinner than the rest of the face and has hardly any sebaceous glands. As a result, it loses moisture faster and reacts more sensitively to external influences. Early dryness wrinkles, feelings of tightness, or shadows often appear here earlier than elsewhere. Additionally, the eye area is heavily stressed by constant movement – blinking, smiling, and concentration leave their marks.
Targeted eye care addresses exactly this: it supports the skin barrier, provides intensive moisture, and helps stabilize the skin structure. Light, well-tolerated formulations are crucial. Brands like Methode Brigitte Kettner, MATIS Paris, Gamarde or Phyt’s develop eye care products specifically for sensitive skin types, often with soothing plant extracts, mineral-rich thermal waters, or biotechnological active ingredients.
The correct application is also important: gentle tapping instead of rubbing and regular integration into the daily care routine – morning and evening.
