Eye Cream
Eye Cream — how to choose
Eye cream is a light, concentrated cream made for the thin, dry skin around the eyes, where fine lines and a tired look tend to show first. It suits anyone who wants more for that area than a face cream gives, often from the late twenties on. Baseshop sells original Korean eye cream from Numbuzin and VT Cosmetics in Yerevan, with delivery across Armenia.
Choosing an eye cream
For fine lines and texture — retinol. Numbuzin No.9 NAD+ Retinol Volumetox Eye Cream pairs it with peptides and NAD+ at a level meant for eye-area skin. Use it in the evening only, and wear sunscreen every morning.
For firmness — peptides and collagen, the core of VT Reedle Shot Lifting Eye Cream, with ceramides for dryness. Both work slowly, so judge them after two months, not two weeks.
For dryness — ceramides and hyaluronic acid help the area hold moisture, which also helps concealer sit more smoothly.
For sensitive eyes — introduce one new product at a time and patch-test it first. Retinol and spicule formulas such as VT Reedle Shot can tingle, so start every other night and pause if the area stings.
Frequently asked
When should I start using eye cream?
There's no fixed age. Start when you notice dryness, fine lines or puffiness around the eyes, which for many people is in their late 20s or 30s. A gentle face cream also works there; a dedicated eye cream is worth it when you want targeted ingredients, such as retinol or peptides, in a formula made for thinner eye skin.
How do I apply eye cream correctly?
Take a rice-grain amount for both eyes and tap it along the orbital bone with your ring finger. Don't rub it in or put it on the eyelid. Apply eye cream after serum and before moisturiser.
Can I use a retinol eye cream every day?
Start every other evening, and move to nightly use only if the skin around your eyes stays comfortable. Use it in the evening only, keep it off the eyelids, and wear sunscreen every morning. Avoid retinol during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless your doctor approves.
Eye cream or eye patches: what's the difference?
Eye cream is a daily step that works gradually. Patches are an occasional 15–20-minute boost of hydration, useful before an event or on a tired morning; you will find them, such as Medi-Peel Peptide 9 and Numbuzin No.9 patches, in Masks and Patches. Many people use both: cream every day, patches a few times a week.
