Eye contour

The skin around the eye is five times thinner than the rest of the face, and has no sebaceous glands. It marks faster, dries faster, and does not tolerate the same active concentrations.

What works: peptides for firmness, caffeine on morning puffiness, low-dose retinal on established fine lines. Collagen patches give an immediate effect before an evening out, without claiming a lasting result.

The right gesture: tap with the ring finger, never rub, and stop at the orbital bone.
