The myths, rumours and truths about eye cream

There’s no doubt about it, women are spoiled for choice when it comes to skincare but is there any real difference between brands?

One brand that is standing out at the moment is KOTIA.  KOTIA is still a reasonable new brand originating in Queenstown, New Zealand.  It’s compelling point of difference is the combination based ingredients: Deer Milk and Manuka Honey.

In addition to the Deer Milk and Manuka Honey, every product in the range is paired with two active ingredients to help penetrate the deeper layers of skin. The formulations are textually soothing on the surface and deeply nourishing to feed your skin to see visible results.

In this article we have singled-out KOTIA’s Brightening Eye Cream to discuss the Myths, Rumours and the Truth about Eye-cream.

Do our eyes really need a product dedicated solely to the eye area? If so, why?

Let’s discuss the Myths, Rumours and the Truth about Eye Cream.

MYTHS

1. Eye cream is just my moisturiser in a small “expensive” pot or tube.
2. The skin around the eyes is the same everywhere on the face.
3. You don’t need an eye cream if you moisturise your entire face every day.

RUMOURS

Now that we have our myths, lets discuss rumours. Rumours, as we all know, can be a misshapen truth or just a plain lie. With this concept in mind, we discuss the ‘overrated’ notion around the purpose and use of eye cream. Many people believe that the eye region is determined entirely through genetics, and there’s nothing you can do to fight inherited dark circles, puffiness and premature fine lines. Eye cream is also believed to be another “marketing scandal” to trick consumers into buying a separate (usually, much smaller) tube/pot along with their other face serums and moisturisers.

TRUTH

Let’s uncover what we need to know about eye cream.

Firstly, eye cream was created due to the exceptionally delicate and fragile nature of the skin surrounding the under-eye area. The skin surrounding the eyes tends to prematurely age due to the lack of moisture and care. Eye creams are usually more potent than your average moisturiser, being rich in vitamins such as Vitamin A (Retinol: for anti-aging) and Vitamin C (for brightening and plumping) just to name a few. Hence, as to why they are usually packaged smaller and are a little pricier. Eye creams with Caffeine, such as Kōtia’s Brightening Eye Cream, help to instantly depuff and awaken dull eyes and as a little goes a long way with Kōtia.
 

THE VERDICT

One may settle for a classic moisturiser, yet if this article has taught us anything, it’s that the under-eyes deserve a little more TLC. Using an eye cream as a preventative or for maintenance measures, will help to give your eyes the love they deserve. So, stop tossing up between eye-creams.

Do yourself a favour and try KOTIA’s Brightening Eye Cream your eyes will be grateful for it.
