What I Learned After Researching the Best Eye Cream Reviews

Looking for the best eye cream reviews? You can only get so much information from them. I've read a lot of consumer opinions. I've read what dermatologists recommend. I've look at labels and researched ingredients. I think I can give you a little more information than the average reviewer.

Sometimes, though, I do need some help. The best eye cream reviews that I have found are done by the Environmental Working Group. They evaluate products based on the safety of their ingredients.

That's a good place to start. Health and safety should always come first, whether you are talking about food or skincare products. Now, it seems that the issues that are relevant in one area are also relevant in another.

Nanotechnology has allowed manufacturers to process ingredients so finely that they can pass through the epidermis, enter the tissues and even the muscles. That is, if what some of the companies are advertising is true.

At one time, getting a substance to pass through that outermost layer was a challenge. Scientists wanted to learn how to do it, so that they could make trans-dermal patches to deliver medications at a more regular pace and avoid upsetting the stomach.

They learned how to do it and so did the cosmetic companies. So, now, when we apply a product to our skin, we may as well be eating it.

The best eye cream reviews won't of course cover any of the things that I've just mentioned. But, the Environmental Working Group can help you find safe sunscreen, baby lotion and other health and beauty aids. They have an online database called "Skin Deep". The information is very helpful.

Of course, if you are looking for what's most effective. They don't go into that. Some so-called "experts" tell you that you don't need a special moisturizer to use under or around the eyes. At the same time, they recommend products like Oil of Olay, which is one of the most unsafe products on the market.

But, the reason they suggest that you don't need special creams for the skin under the eyes is this. Most companies that make a gel or serum for around the eyes use the exact same ingredients that they do in their other products, but they charge more for them.

I know one company that will soon have the best eye cream reviews, because their products are simply the most effective ones on the market. It's a new line, though. So, you may not hear much about them for a while.

Their gel for under and around the eyes contains a couple of ingredients found in their regular moisturizers, but they also contain some compounds that are specifically designed to reduce bags, puffiness and dark circles. Clinical research performed by the company and by independent laboratories has found them to be effective in more than 60% of the individuals included in the study groups.

So, stop looking for the best eye cream reviews and start looking for something effective. You'll be glad that you did.
