1. The difference between an eye serum and an eye cream
- Texture: Eye serums are usually thinner and fluid, while eye creams have a thicker, cream-like texture.
- Ingredients and moisturizing: The eye serum has a high concentration of ingredients, which can quickly replenish the moisture and nutrients needed around the eyes, but the moisturizing time is relatively short; Eye creams have a better ability to lock in moisture, forming a protective film on the surface of the skin to keep the skin around the eyes hydrated.
- Absorption: The eye essence has a small molecular structure and strong permeability, which can quickly reach the base of the skin around the eyes; Eye creams absorb more slowly, but they stay hydrated for longer.
2. Benefits of using it together
- Complementary Effect: Use the eye serum to replenish moisture and nutrients to the skin around the eyes, and then use the eye cream to lock in these moisture and nutrients to avoid the loss of moisture in the serum, achieving a 1+1>2 effect.
- For different age groups: Before the age of 25, a moisturizing eye cream or eye serum alone may be sufficient, but after the age of 25, a combination can better meet the anti-aging and moisturizing needs of the eye area.
3. Use the order and method
- Sequence of use: The correct order of use is to apply the eye serum first, massage it until absorbed, and then apply the eye cream to lock in the nutrients in the serum.
- Application: After applying the toner, apply an appropriate amount of eye serum evenly to the skin around the eyes and gently massage until fully absorbed. After that, apply an appropriate amount of eye cream around the eye area and gently massage it with your ring finger until the cream is fully absorbed.
4. Precautions
- Appropriate use: The amount of eye essence and eye cream should not be too much, the general amount of eye essence is the size of a mung bean, and the eye cream should be used in moderation according to the product recommendation.
- Avoid cellulite: If the eye cream is too moisturizing and greasy, it is easy to grow fat particles around the eyes, and there may be sagging and dullness. Therefore, eye cream should be selected according to individual skin type, dry skin can choose more greasy, oily skin can choose moisturizing function.
