The most suitable eye region creams

There is no escape: time passes for everyone. And sooner or later, the skin will begin to show the marks of the passage of time. The first signs usually appear in a very specific region: around the eyes. This is because the skin on the site is very thin, just 0.5 millimeters thick.

Flávia de Oliveira José, pharmacist and coordinator of the technical pharmacy course at Piracicaba School of Health (Esaup), explains that expression marks, as the name implies, are the marks that form when we move the muscles of the face to compose it. an expression. When we express concern, for example, it is common to have momentary creases between the eyebrows. The problem is that, over time, they become definitive, which is when they became wrinkles ?, he says.

Still according to the professional, the age at which these signs around the eyes usually appear depends greatly on the type of skin and lifestyle of the person.


It is known that one of the biggest villains of skin aging is the sun. Therefore it is always good to remember the importance of using sunscreen daily. But in general, we can say that, in some people, around 30 years old, you can already notice the first signs of skin aging ?, says Flávia.

Here are four common eye problems and the best substances that the specialist has suggested to alleviate them:

1. Swelling around the eyes

The swelling in the lower eyelids of the eyes is also known as the "pouch". And there are many causes for its emergence, such as genetics of the person, fluid retention, among others. "Many people have this bloating because of food, excess salt, ingestion of alcohol, smoking, as well as sleepless nights and stress of everyday life," explains the pharmacist Flavia.


"I like to say 'we are what we eat'. If we consume healthy substances, we have an equally healthy body. And, nowadays, everyone knows that beauty and health are closely linked ?, adds the professional.

How to treat the problem: Flávia José points out that there are products that soften these bags, as is the case of Swiss lab asset Lonza, Vivillume? Paradise which is found in handling pharmacies. It is popularly known as the giant white bird of Paradise, a plant originally from Africa. It has revitalizing action, restores brightness, promotes homogeneity of skin tone, diminishes dark circles and bags under the eyes giving back the vitality and youthfulness of the skin ?, he says.

2. Chicken Feet

Crow's feet are the expression lines or wrinkles that appear at the corner of the eye and give the skin an aged look. "As already mentioned above, the sunscreen is the most important ally to keep the skin young and beautiful, and sunglasses for those who have photophobia (aversion to light) and therefore squint when exposed to the sun," says the pharmaceutical Flavia.


How to treat the problem: According to Flavia, there are actives that help soften these wrinkles. An example is DMAE, which promotes improved skin firmness, with possible improvement in facial muscle tone.

There are other novelties in the cosmetology market, along the same lines as DMAE. A good example is snake venom (Syn-Ake), which diminishes the marks by relaxing the facial muscles ?, says the pharmacist.

? And the big news presented at the international congress of cosmetology Consulfarma, in 2013, was the Biolumen? Laser cream. Firm BioLumen? It is extracted from a Citrifolia morinda (Noni), polyphenolic coating that harnesses the power of UV light and in turn uses this energy to cause an anti-aging effect on the skin, increasing elasticity, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving tone and tone. the texture of the skin ?, highlights Flávia.

3. Dark Circles

Dark circles are a problem that bothers many women. They are the result of the action of melanin, a pigment that gives color to the skin. In many cases there is the genetic tendency; in others, they are the result of dilating vessels in the eye area, bringing more blood to the area and strengthening pigmentation.

In addition, some habits contribute to the appearance of dark circles: sleepless nights, fatigue, smoking, stress. Allergies and rhinitis can also make them appear.

How to treat the problem: Flávia José points out that the active Vivillume?, Already mentioned above, is a caffeine-based cream, which, being a vasoconstrictor, diminishes the purplish vessels.

Another good example of cream, according to the pharmacist, is L´Oréal Paris's Revitalift Roll On Anti-Dark Circles.

4. Sagging

Many people, over time, end up with their upper eyelids drooping.And it is noteworthy that the flab in this region has a strong genetic component. As the years go by, there is also the loss of fat, which further contributes to the "falling" eyelids.

How to treat the problem: Flávia de Oliveira José points out that Vederine® is considered a significant advance in cosmetology. "It is the only active in the world with action similar to vitamin D, which earned him, in November 2012, the prize in the Gold category, as the most innovative asset present at the fair In Cosmetics, held in Thailand," he says. The asset can be found in handling pharmacies.

Also according to the pharmaceutical, Vederine®, French natural active extracted and purified from Chicory root (Cichorium intybus), is one of the most used and indicated to compensate for deficiencies of vitamin D.? That's because studies reveal that this vitamin is extremely important in cellular functions, ie protects them from skin degradation caused by internal factors such as age and phototype; and external factors, especially pollution, smoking, low air humidity, cleaning agents, etc.?
