The violent subjective impressions of a couple of girls can create a real “thread” on the Internet, which will continue to mislead the rest of the fair half of humanity for a long time.
Cosmetologists rarely interfere in such battles, preferring to explain the essence of the problem personally. The cosmetologists of our rejuvenation clinic decided to share their knowledge with their readers in order to counteract misinformation in the beauty environment and teach potential patients to distinguish lies from the truth. What are the myths about the fight against circles under the eyes based on, and what is the real state of affairs - read our article.
Myth No. 1: You can avoid dark circles under the eyes with the help of creams.
With the help of creams, you can avoid the early deepening of facial and linear wrinkles, but under two conditions:
- The cream, serum or fluid is of high quality (ideally, they should be professional and personally selected by a cosmetologist);
- Cosmetics are used preventively, not after the fact.
Bruises and bags under the eyes almost never respond to superficial cosmetic correction. Unfortunately, many popular products can even worsen the defect - for example, increase swelling in the eyelid area, dry out and thin the skin, and deprive tissues of access to oxygen. The listed factors create a favorable environment for stabilizing stagnant processes.
Clinique Pep-Start Eye Cream
Inna Yu.:
I certainly won’t surprise anyone by saying that my favorite eye cream is Pep-Start from Clinique.
I have never received better hydration and smoothing from any other product.
I also really like the packaging itself... It's the only shade of orange that doesn't piss me off! I’ll probably say the main thing about the effect: it very refreshes the look, prepares the skin around the eyes for makeup and, most importantly, does not conflict with the concealer, but, on the contrary, serves as an excellent base for it.
Among other things, Pep-Start is my favorite because Clinique is one of the few brands whose cosmetics do not cause different reactions in me (I’m only talking about the eye area). Usually I get either peeling or tightening... Here there is nothing but a positive result.
Pep-Start really suits everyone and I don’t plan to look for a replacement.

Myth No. 2: Korean patches help instantly remove bags under the eyes!
Good Korean (as well as Swiss, Italian, Japanese, German, Russian and others) patches are used only to instantly tone the skin of the eyelids and lightly lighten dark circles under the eyes. Moreover, any patches are a kind of “SOS funds” intended for collections for important and special events.
They are absolutely useless as a long-term care product. They are unable to “dissolve” age-related fatty hernias and relieve deep edema, either immediately or in the future with daily use.
Myth No. 5: Dark circles under the eyes can be easily lightened with lemon juice.
Ascorbic acid helps to partially lighten pigmentation, and if the appearance of dark circles is associated with excess melanin synthesis, the statement has a right to life. Lemon juice will have to be used regularly for 1.5-2 months to achieve minimal effect. Now imagine what will happen to the delicate, sensitive and vulnerable skin of the eyelids after daily smearing with a “caustic” acidic liquid.
It is likely that catastrophic dehydration, severe peeling, and the formation of sharp, deep wrinkles will be added to the dark circles that hastily returned after the experiment. And a “gift” in the form of an allergy.
A much wiser decision would be a course of injection or non-injection mesotherapy with cocktails containing adapted synthetic vitamin C.
Carita Ideal Hydratation Lagoon Eye Contour
Dasha U.:
Nature rewarded me with skin around my eyes without any special “beacons” of aging in the form of networks of wrinkles. There are facial harbingers, but they are only noticeable to me so far. At least now I am only puzzled by the timely moisturizing of the skin in this area.
Therefore, the main and most important thing for me in an eye cream is the melting texture, so that there is no feeling of grease, which I literally cannot stand! Since I am a long-time supporter and lover of the Lagoon line of the Carita brand, whose perfume fragrance drives me crazy with its freshness, and its texture with its lightness and absorbency, I can confidently recommend the eye cream from this collection to anyone in need of hydration. After applying this cream, I feel both tactile and visual changes - it seems that my eyes are becoming more fresh.
Perhaps I’m just overcome with a wave of pleasure from using the product and I’m starting to pass off what I feel as reality, but I still consider it my duty to tell you about it! 
Price: 2799 rub. in the IDB online store.
Myth #6: Creams with hyaluronic acid help remove puffiness under the eyes
Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, concentrated in expensive luxury creams, partially penetrates into the deep layers of the skin. One molecule of it retains up to 500 molecules of water around itself, catalyzing not a decrease, but an increase in swelling.
High molecular weight hyaluronic acid contained in budget analogues can dry out the skin when the air humidity in the environment is low. Sudden dehydration provokes a kind of shock in the tissues, and they begin to accumulate moisture “in reserve.” Swelling naturally increases.
For these trivial reasons, women who have actually tried eye creams based on hyaluronic acid often complain about the opposite effect to the declared one.
Myth No. 7: Hemorrhoid ointment is the best non-standard remedy for dark circles
As absurd as this may sound, there is some truth here. Hemorrhoids are a consequence of varicose veins. Rapid relief of its symptoms is achieved by systemic or local use of venotonics. Venotonics quickly “unload” the blood flow, remove excess fluid, and relieve swelling. Compresses with venotonics actually eliminate swelling under the eyes if they are caused by lack of sleep and other exogenous physiological reasons. But they cannot be used on an ongoing basis - only in emergency cases. As for deep edema and hernias, medications for varicose veins are powerless.
Myth No. 8: Lower eyelid swelling can be eliminated by massage
If you are a competent specialist in the field of lymphatic drainage massage, this is true. You will actually be able to reduce the puffiness under your eyes. If you perform a massage using amateur “tutorials” on YouTube, get ready for the opposite effect. Transient swelling will become persistent, slight swelling will increase 1.5-2 times, and the skin will stretch and soon become covered with a network of wrinkles. Manual and machine massage at home is an extremely controversial procedure. We strongly recommend that you refrain from such experiences.
Erborian Ginseng Infusion Total Eye
Nastya (ananaska):
I thought for a very long time which cream from the declared category I could call the best. And how to do it so as not to offend other favorite jars. If anything, numerous reviews of all other representatives not included in this review can be viewed using the appropriate tag.
In the end, I chose Erborian. I really love the Ginseng line itself, but I’m especially a fan of this cream for the eye area. I once wrote about it in quite some detail (and that was 1.5 years ago), and since then I have had two or three more jars of this wonderful cream. My opinion has not changed over the years: this is an excellent product for basic care of the delicate skin around the eyes, especially for those who are the “lucky” owner of drooping eyelids. The cream not only manages to significantly tighten the area around the eyes and erase all traces of small expression wrinkles, but it also has a serious drainage effect. It perfectly removes puffiness and swelling, and is also absorbed fantastically quickly, leaving no stickiness.
In general, I love Nimagu and recommend it to everyone.
Price: 3750 rub. in the online store pudra.ru.
Myth #10: Proper makeup and concealer will mask problems.
Camouflaging a defect is not as easy as it might seem. As we age, thick layers of concealers and foundation only add to our age and highlight imperfections. And if you put them on “substantial” bags under the eyes, you won’t be able to hide the second ones. Rather, you focus the attention of others on your problem. Mature women should focus on quality skin care from a cosmetologist in order to get by with light nude makeup instead of bright contouring.
Be smart when dealing with conflicting information. Consult a cosmetologist, read scientific articles, study the problem at an expert level. Remember that many “beauty recipes” will take it away from you even sooner than inaction.
Eye cream Yves Rocher Beneficial Anti-Wrinkle Cream for Eye Contour - reviews
And Rocher very often sends expensive creams from the RISH series as gifts.
I usually avoided such a gift. I thought it was too early for me to use them. And giving and re-gifting is not as interesting as getting something you need for yourself. This time the cream that arrived was a complete surprise for me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yves Rocher has amazing bonus codes : MYSTERY, DELIGHT, JOY.
What will arrive in the package with these codes is a huge mystery with joy and delight.
Usually these are two expensive care products.
More recently, these were a Cure Solutions mask and a roll-on gel for the skin around the eyes, but by the time I decided to order these gifts, they exchanged them for RISH eye cream and makeup remover milk. While the package was on its way to me, the gift was again changed to Gommage with apricot extract 50 ml 23713 + cure solusion serum 30 ml 65313. As soon as I found out that this cream was coming to me, I was upset.
I thought that I would have to re-gift it to someone again. But after reading the reviews I realized that there is nothing wrong with this cream. Oils useful for nourishing the skin.
My eyelid skin is very dry
. If for most people the problem is that the shadows float from the eyelid, then I have a problem with fixing the shadows so that they somehow stick to dry skin. After washing, the skin resembles tissue paper. Thin, dry, not at all like skin. Hence premature wrinkles.
Light eyelid gels provide only the appearance of moisture.
After washing, the condition of the skin becomes the same as if I had never used cream. It was decided that my eyelids deserved active and nourishing care.
Rish cream has a nice little miniature box.
The box contains a small jar and instructions in a separate compartment.
The jar is very small and neat. The volume of the cream, like most eye creams , is 15 ml
.
There was a protective membrane on the jar,
which is very important for the preservation of the cream.
The cream has a slight scent of rose oil. White color. The consistency is pleasant, oily, not sticky and not very dense.
RISH cream contains 30 valuable oils.
The manufacturer promises that this cream will help restore youth to the skin, smooth out crow's feet wrinkles, gently nourish the skin, and prevent the appearance of new wrinkles.
I don’t believe in all these fairy tales; time cannot be turned back and tender skin like a baby’s cannot be returned. But it is quite possible to support, preserve and nourish what exists.
Everyone's skin is different and I don't think this cream is suitable for everyone.
. My dry and hungry skin accepted it with open arms, asking for more. Now I look at my eyelids and see that the skin is alive and elastic. The cream suited me perfectly. It is enough to use this cream only at night or in courses of 1-2 weeks.
I learned from my own example that you shouldn’t be afraid of anti-aging cosmetics. Wrinkles need to be eliminated at the very beginning of their appearance. And at the age for which this cream is positioned, it is impossible to cope with deep wrinkles only with creams.
This order included Yves Rocher Makeup Palette 54 shades
Main gift for order: Yves Rocher Flowerparty by Night 50ml.
