The Perfect Eye Cream?

The only thing that differentiates an eye cream from other creams is that it comes in a small pot and is mild enough to use on the skin around your eyes. This skin is thinner and therefore more sensitive than other skin. I once spoke to someone who was searching for a mild face cream. She eventually bought an eye cream. If this was mild enough for the eyes then it was definitely not going to irritate the rest of her face. She was right.

What happened here should have actually been the other way around: a face cream should be mild enough that it can be used on the skin around the eyes. The list of irritating substances that I have named in the AD are those that do not belong in an eye cream.

So best look for a mild moisturising cream.
