Do you need an eye cream?

Well it depends, do you use a face moisturizer? If the answer is no and you believe you may need attention around the eye area then an eye cream is ideal. Eye creams provide moisture to the intended area and can also cure other undesirable such as darkening and folding. However, if you are already using an all over face moisturizer an eye cream my not be necessary. Jeffrey Benabio, MD, a dermatologist at Kaiser Permanente in San Diego. "Eye creams are just variations of facial moisturizers," he says. Both may contain antioxidants to help minimize wrinkles and other ingredients that help tighten skin. Unlike many facial moisturizers, however, eye creams don't usually contain sunscreen, and you get a lot less product for a lot more money.
