Do I Need A Moisturizer For The Eye Area?
Eye area being the most sensitive area of the face needs to be taken care off cautiously. A basic moisturizer will work well as a hydrator for the eye area, but if you want to do a little more (in order to cure dark circles, crow's feet and reduce puffiness), you'll have better results with a moisturizer made specifically for the eyes.
The skin around the eyes is thinner than the skin on the rest of the face so it is very sensitive.
To avoid irritation, eye creams tend to have lower levels of active ingredients. They also contain substances not found in face creams - caffeine to reduce puffiness, vitamin K to minimize dark circles, plus light diffusers and silicone derivatives to plump up crow's feet. Always use the eye moisturizers for the eye area skin.
