Who would have thought that it works wonders even if you are still young. Well, of course I got scared of trying out all the products so the solution are dermatologists. A visit or two to them doesn't really hurt and it is one of the best ways to get the best products for the eye cream.Eye Cream Reviewshttp://www.eyecreams.com/eye-cream-reviews/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3269769402504502110.post-11552186942868269122009-09-16T12:02:57.667-04:002009-09-16T12:02:57.667-04:00I learned this from Paula Begoun's "bibbl...I learned this from Paula Begoun's "bibble", a bit too late after stocking up some eyecreams that were on sale.

Interesting, I do notice that the first 3 ingredients (which make up the bulk of the product)are the same, though in different concentrations.<br /><br />Regulations on product labeling (at least in the US) require that any ingredient over 1% be listed on the label, and that the ingredients are listed in order starting with those in highest concentration. The first 3-5 products comprise the majority of the finished product, but some ingredients could be so low in concentration that they are essentially ineffective.<br /><br />I do wish cosmetic labeling regulations were a bit more stringent, are there any major differences in the EU guidelines?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04108209313329136795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3269769402504502110.post-81404050875694807852009-08-07T13:22:26.933-04:002009-08-07T13:22:26.933-04:00Lancome Hydra-Zen facial Gel Cream:

I'm sure there are some differences, like less of the active ingredients (for the "sensitve" eye area) or added ingredients for eye-specific concerns (caffeine for puffiness, for example.) While companies aren't stupid enough to sell the same EXACT product, I bet there are some definite similarities. Let us know either way!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04108209313329136795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3269769402504502110.post-38347768738223918942009-08-07T13:02:20.473-04:002009-08-07T13:02:20.473-04:00Wow.

I'm cerainly glad you did.<br /><br />I have always applied my moisturiser all over my face, including on my eyes, when I've used it, but then used eye cream, too. Whilst I'm sure extra care when applying/removing make-up to the eye area needs to be taken, you're right in that there's no point spending such a huge amount on a tiny tub that contains exactly the same stuff as my face cream!<br /><br />I'm going to compare my Lancome Hydra Zen moisturiser to the same eye cream right now.Anastasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06719598082784605372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3269769402504502110.post-67527757307067513022009-08-07T12:25:12.261-04:002009-08-07T12:25:12.261-04:00Mariella,
Though the doctor didn't mention it...Mariella,<br /><br />Though the doctor didn't mention it, I tend to agree with you that using creams that are too rich around the eyes can cause milia (tiny white bumps under the skin- you see them often on newborns)I myself have them in the past. <br /><br />Though perhaps I should have,I didn't mention that issue in the post because this entry was less about how to choose a product and more about the fact that you don't need a specific eye cream. Also, it was around 3AM when I wrote it, so...:)<br /><br />I guess the key word is TOO rich- chances are if your skin is dry enough that it needs a rich face creme, your eye area is probably parched as well. <br /><br />Of course, any moisturizer that clogs the pores around your eyes will do the same for those on the face, so you should always ensure that whatever you're using, whether on your face or eyes, is noncomedogenic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04108209313329136795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3269769402504502110.post-3256383280239928462009-08-07T06:14:59.204-04:002009-08-07T06:14:59.204-04:00I am sure you're right but I have a question i...I am sure you're right but I have a question in terms of texture. If you're using a rich face cream, isn't that going to clog pores around the eyes and cause milia? I think I heard that somewhere.<br />Anyway, I do use an eye gel most of the time because I like the consistency, but sometimes I skip it and use my face cream :-)Musing on Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07594192030035675016noreply@blogger.com
