Eye Cream

For one, K-beauty is known for pushing the boundaries of skincare technology! You’ll find a lot of innovative ingredients and formulations in their eye creams that you won’t see everywhere else, with unique, highly effective ingredients. 

Additionally, Korean brands put a strong emphasis on gentleness. For example, you’ll find eye creams with ingredients like bakuchiol, a natural retinol alternative that is ideal for those who find retinol too harsh for their delicate eye area.

The timeframe for seeing results varies depending on the specific concern being addressed and your skin. For instance, a Korean eye cream for dark circles and wrinkles will take a little longer to work its magic than one that reduces puffiness. 

But one thing is for sure: Korean skincare formulas are effective! K-beauty brands frequently update their products based on the latest research and innovations, so you can trust that a K-beauty eye cream will get the job done.

Yes! It’s easy to incorporate Korean eye creams into your existing skincare routine. A good rule of thumb is to layer your products from the lightest to the heaviest consistency. 

So, apply the eye cream after your water-based products, like toners and serums, and before your richer products, such as moisturizers and sunscreen. That way, everything gets absorbed properly.

Less is definitely more when it comes to applying eye cream. You don’t want it spreading everywhere, or worse, getting into your eyes. 

A pea-sized amount is enough for both eyes. Use your ring finger for application as it exerts the least pressure, and avoid rubbing or pulling your skin. 

Instead, gently pat the cream around the orbital bone (the bony area surrounding your eye socket) until it is evenly distributed and absorbed.

It depends on the formulation of the eye cream. If it contains active ingredients like retinol, it's generally recommended to use it only in the evening, as retinol can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. Retinol also breaks down in the sun’s UV rays, so it won’t work as well during the day anyway. 

However, if you have a gentler Korean eye cream with ingredients like calming Centella or circulation-improving green tea, go for it morning and night!

Absolutely! You're not limited to using eye cream just around your eyes. Struggling with fine lines on your forehead or dark spots? Korean eye creams for dark circles and wrinkles can work on those, too. 

Because eye creams are specifically designed for delicate and sensitive skin, they often contain gentler yet potent ingredients that can address skin concerns in other face areas.
