Total Eye Care: Dermalogica’s spectacular daily eye care
Total Eye Care is Dermalogica’s answer to an eye cream that is about more than just hydrating the skin. The skin around the eyes is very delicate; It’s no wonder that the eyes are one of the first places to show signs of aging and damage. The skin around the eyes is thinner and does not contain oil glands.
As we age, fine lines appear due to a lack of moisture around the eye area, and elasticity and collagen break down, causing our skin to sag around the eye area from all those years of sun damage. Some people suffer from puffiness and dark circles around the eyes, and flaking and dryness can become more apparent from a lack of oils in the eye area.
Most eye creams are only capable of hydrating the tissues around the eyes and in fact some eye creams can be too hydrating, actually clogging the delicate eye area and causing milia (small white bumps and hard below the surface of the skin). Milia can be caused by rich ingredients like mineral oil or lanolin; I have even found these ingredients in eye makeup removers.
Milia can be difficult to remove and usually involves treatment with a skin care therapist who is experienced in removing milia with a needle. I have seen this in many people and it may also be due to using your normal moisturizer around the eye area.
Moisturizers are generally made for your face and not for your eyes. Eye creams are formulated with a smaller molecular structure, so they can penetrate delicate eye tissue and not clog pores.
I really like Dermalogica Total Eye Care for a simple SUNSCREEN reason! I don’t know why eye cream companies don’t put a sunscreen in their eye cream formulas, but they should, as the sun produces a lot of collagen and elastin in that area.
Let’s take a look at the ingredients in this Dermalogica Day Eye Cream and see what it can do for you.
Total ingredients for eye care
Dermalogica Total Eye Care Cream was created to address the “total” problems of aging and damage to the eye area. Let’s take a look at the ingredients and see how this eye cream works on the skin.
Total Eye Care is not just a moisturizer for the eye contour, it actually contains the active ingredient lactic acid, which is an alpha hydroxy acid that naturally increases hydration in the skin and also slightly softens and retextures the skin tissues. . Dermalogica actually uses a six percent concentration in this formulation, lactic acid is naturally found in the skin, which means that it is softer and has less chance of irritating delicate tissues and also improves appearance.
Sodium PCA is also added. I know it sounds like a fun chemical, but it’s actually your hydration factor that is naturally found in your skin. Sodium PCA increases hydration around the eye area and softens the skin. This ingredient is also used in dermalogica’s multi-active toner. Another great advantage of this eye cream is that it includes a chemical-free SPF15 sunscreen, I love it!
Titanium dioxide is a natural sunscreen that protects the eyes from both types of UV rays (UVA and UVB rays). This means that you can have full sun protection for your eyes during the day and without irritation. Total Eye Cream is actually pink in color, due to the natural iron oxides that are used in the product. They have light-reflecting abilities that allow you to minimize darkness without adding any color to your eyes (unless you wear too much!).
These iron oxide minerals are great at scattering light, they can help reduce the appearance of dark circles, giving you a fresh look (however, if yours are particularly bad, it will do nothing! My advice: sleep more and increase your water intake, to flush out toxins).
This eye cream with each application also tightens and firms the delicate eye area and reduces puffiness. As it does? Total Eye Care contains extracts of spiraea, hydrocotyl, orange flower, bisabolol, vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate) and allantoin. Spiraea, Hydrocotyl, and Bisabolol plant extracts help to firm and reduce swelling of skin tissue because they have anti-inflammatory properties. Allantoin and orange flower extracts are soothing and soothing to the skin.
Total eye care is more than just an everyday eye cream, it really is total eye protection for skin.
- Hydration: lactic acid (increases skin hydration from within, PCA sodium, vitamin E, amino acids (helps skin absorb moisture).
- Exfoliation – 6% strength alpha hydroxy acid lactic acid.
- Protection: Chemical-free SPF15 sunscreen and vitamin E to help prevent free radicals from pollution and the environment.
- Reduces swelling and firmness: spiraea extract, hydrocotyl and bisabolol.
- Reduce Dark Circles: Iron oxides are used as optical light diffusers to reduce the appearance of dark circles.
Total Eye Care is a great product, everyone should use this amazing eye cream, however the texture can still be a bit light for more mature people, if that’s the case, I have found that using a total eye care is exceptional. Intensive eye repair is fine (since you get sun protection this way).
This eye cream is suitable for use during the day only due to the included sunscreen, at night in the dermalogica range you can use Multivitamin Power Firm or Intensive Eye Repair, but during the day use your Total Eye Care.
