Eye Care for Men

The skin around the eye area is thinner and has fewer oil glands than the rest of the face, making it more prone to dryness, fine lines and visible signs of fatigue. 

A regular moisturizer may be suitable for the eye area if it is lightweight and does not contain strong actives. However, if you have specific eye concerns that are unique from the concerns on the rest of your complexion, you may benefit from using a targeted formula in this area. 

Biotherm’s range of eye cream for men is specifically designed to target key concerns around the eye area, formulated with ingredients such as Life Plankton ™ alongside antioxidants and probiotics to support hydration and to the help protect the  delicate eye area from signs of ageing.  

Dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines can be caused by natural aging, lifestyle factors, and environmental stress.  

As skin ages, collagen and elastin levels decline and the eye area can become thinner, making dark circles and fine lines more visible.  

Dehydration, lack of sleep, stress, and sun exposure can also make eyes look dull, tired, and uneven, contributing to the appearance of fine lines and puffiness.

To help reduce the look of puffiness, dark circles and fine lines around the eyes, look for an eye cream for men containing: 

• Caffeine: Helps refresh tired-looking eyes by temporarily constricting small blood vessels, softening the appearance of blue or purple-toned dark circles. 

• Peptides: Support skin firmness and elasticity by helping encourage the skin’s natural repair processes. In eye cream for men, peptides are especially useful for targeting fine lines and loss of firmness. 

• Hyaluronic acid: Helps retain water in the skin, supporting a plumper, smoother-looking eye area. 

• Niacinamide: Helps brighten uneven tone and improve the appearance of dark circles linked to pigmentation. 

• Antioxidants: Look for antioxidants such as vitamin C and green tea, which help protect against environmental stressors and visibly reduce signs of inflammation for a brighter, healthier-looking eye area. 

Eye creams and eye serums mainly differ in texture, formula concentration, and function. Eye creams are typically richer and creamier, designed to moisturize the under-eye area, support the skin barrier, and help retain hydration. 

Eye serums are usually lighter in texture and formulated with a higher concentration of targeted active ingredients such as caffeine or peptides. They absorb quickly and are designed to address specific concerns, including the look of fine lines, puffiness and dark circles.

Eye serums and creams should be applied to cleansed, dry skin. If using both, apply the serums first, followed by a thicker eye cream to help seal in hydration.  

Gently tap a small amount of product around the eye area using your ring finger. Focus on the orbital bone and avoid applying products directly to the eyelids or too close to the lash line, as it can migrate into the eyes and cause irritation.
