If you’re concerned about wrinkles and fine lines around your eyes, adding our best eye cream for wrinkles to your daily regime, alongside dedicated anti-ageing skin products, can help slow down these visible signs of age.

Understanding the Formation of Eye Wrinkles and Crow’s Feet

There are a few different causes of eye wrinkles and crow’s feet. Understanding their basis can help you prevent them from developing prematurely, but also put your mind at ease that these are perfectly normal, natural developments for everyone lucky enough to reach older age!

Here are some of the most common factors contributing to visible eye wrinkles:

Genetics
Sun damage
Lifestyle factos

Genetics

Genetics play a big part in how lines and wrinkles affect us. Laughter lines and crow’s feet can often be genetic and part of how our face creases as we smile and laugh. This may mean, however, that you’re more prone to skin ageing in these areas – especially if you spend excessive time in the sun, smoke or leave the skin unprotected from environmental aggressors.

Sun damage

Exposing the skin to the sun’s UV rays can lead to premature ageing signs. This is because UV radiation causes DNA changes to the skin at a cellular level, compromising its ability to function as normal and leading to a breakdown of important proteins such as collagen and elastin. This means it affects the deepest layers of the skin – even though it may not be noticeable until many years later when damage starts to show on the surface. 

Lifestyle

The skin can be directly affected by our lifestyle. Unhealthy habits such as smoking, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, eating ultra-processed foods, and spending a lot of time in the sun can put you at greater risk of extrinsic skin ageing. Stress and not getting enough sleep can also negatively impact the skin. 

The Science Behind Eye Creams for Anti-Ageing

Choosing the Best Under Eye Cream for Wrinkles and Crow’s Feet

Dedicated eye creams such as SkinCeuticals A.G.E Advanced Eye Cream are an effective way of targeting crow’s feet and wrinkles as they use potent ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, caffeine and ProxylaneTM. Formulations like this can be gentle enough for the delicate skin around the eyes while being proven to plump and smooth out the appearance of lines and wrinkles by increasing skin elasticity and firmness.

Many formulas such as SkinCeuticals Eye Balm and AOX Eye Gel also contain antioxidants including silymarin and vitamin E to protect the skin from environmental aggressors – a common cause of premature ageing. They can also help to improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation from sun exposure.

But eye creams aren’t the only option. You can also target ageing signs around the eyes with products formulated for the face. SkinCeuticals HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan, visibly plumps skin, improves radiance and facial volume, reduces the appearance of fine lines*. P-TIOX is another serum that is proven to reduce the appearance of 9 types of contraction lines with 5% PHA, 5% niacinamide and laminaria extra. These ingredients improve skin texture and radiance, and maximise visible anti-ageing results.  

A broad-spectrum sunscreen such as Mineral Eye UV Defense SPF30 is also vital for the prevention of premature ageing and for improving the appearance of existing ageing signs.
