The most suitable creams for the eye area

There is no escape: time passes for everyone. And sooner or later, the skin will start 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 at the site is very thin, only 0.5 millimeters thick.

Flávia de Oliveira José, pharmacist and coordinator of the technical course in pharmacy at the Escola da Saúde de Piracicaba (Esaup), explains that expression marks, as the name implies, are the marks that form when we move the muscles of the face to compose an expression. “When we express concern, for example, it is common for there to be momentary creases between the eyebrows. The problem is, over time, they become permanent, which is when they become wrinkles,” she says.

Also according to the professional, the age at which these signs around the eyes usually appear depends a lot on the person’s skin type and lifestyle.

“It is known that one of the biggest villains of skin aging is the sun. That’s why it’s always good to remember the importance of using sunscreen daily. But, in general, we can say that, in some people, around the age of 30, it is already possible to notice the first signs of skin aging”, says Flávia.

Here are four common problems in the eye region and the best substances recommended by the specialist to alleviate them:

1. Swelling around the eyes

The swelling in the lower eyelids of the eyes is also known as a “bag”. And there are many causes for its appearance, such as the person’s genetics, fluid retention, among others. “Many people have this swelling because of food, excess salt, alcohol consumption, smoking, in addition to sleepless nights and day-to-day stress”, explains pharmacist Flávia.

“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: according to Flávia, there are actives that help to soften these wrinkles. An example is DMAE, which improves 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 reduces the marks, by relaxing the facial muscles”, says the pharmacist.

“And the great novelty presented at the Consulfarma international cosmetology congress, in 2013, was Biolumen – Laser in cream. Firm BioLumen ™ 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 the tone and texture of the skin”, highlights Flávia.

How to treat the problem: Flávia de Oliveira José highlights that Vederine® is considered a significant advance in cosmetology. “It is the only active ingredient in the world with action similar to vitamin D, which earned it, in November 2012, the award in the Gold category, as the most innovative active present at the In Cosmetics fair, held in Thailand”, she says.
