What are the latest and most potent anti-ageing eye creams?
Nothing really gives your age away as clearly as the lines around your eyes.
So invest in a good eye cream that delivers potent ingredients to the delicate area.
For those with mature skin, give SK-II's new LXP Ultimate Perfecting Eye Cream (photo 1, $254 for 15g) a go. The latest addition to SK-II's premium LXP range, this eye cream is formulated with lychee extract, the brand's signature yeast extract Pitera and rice peptide. Lychee extract is believed to protect skin against UV rays and oxidative stress. The product promises to hydrate and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, dark circles and crow's feet.
If you prefer a vitamin A-infused eye cream that stimulates cell renewal, try RoC's new Retin-Ox Correxion Wrinkle Smoothing Eye Cream (photo 2, $64 for 15ml). It contains encapsulated retinol, which is more stable over a longer period of time and, thus, more effective. The product claims to get rid of fine lines, smoothen wrinkles and lighten dark circles.
La Prairie's eye cream is a multi-tasking one that can also be used on the lips and laugh lines. The Anti-Aging Eye And Lip Contour Cream (photo 3, $290 for 20ml) works by filling in wrinkles with a patented encapsulated amino acid, while marine-derived glycosaminoglycans prevent discolourations and fruit acids exfoliate and brighten skin.
Lancome's Visionnaire Yeux, Advanced Eye Contour Perfecting Corrector serum (photo 4, $98 for 15ml) is a new product in its best-selling Visionnaire line. It contains the patented LR 2412 molecule which claims to correct and repair the signs of ageing and, in turn, improve the appearance of dark circles, wrinkles and uneven skin tone.
If you have a sensitive eye area, try Dermalogica's new UltraSmoothing Eye Serum (photo 5, $98 for 15ml). It contains a water-soluble form of vitamin C to fight free radical activity and a yeast extract with six types of amino acids to firm skin and improve its elasticity.
A calming blend of chamomile, Norwegian kelp, aloe vera juice, hyaluronic acid and carrot root oil ensures that dehydrated and stressed skin is quenched.
