Serums around eyes
Serums around eyes
Are the serums safe to use around the undereye area? I have two (un)pretty deep undereye wrinkles to get rid of and am wondering if the vitamin c or green tea and aloe serum would help. Wrinkles at 23 is no fun. =/ Even my grandmother has less lines than I do.

I am not sure what Karen will say, but I really don't see anything too irritating in them. I would still avoid getting much near your lashline.

Re: Serums around eyes
Everyone's eyes are different, but I do use them around mine. Most of the ingredients are edible including the preservative so there shouldn't be an issue.
I'd recommend the Vitamin C- the peptides in that serum are fantastic for wrinkles.

I can't wait to get mine! I'm going to use the DMAE one for the puffiness on my under eye area.

Re: Serums around eyes
Woo hoo! Thanks for this, Karen. I was looking for a vitamin C serum for the eyes and hopefully SN will do the trick.
Re: Serums around eyes
I have used all of the serums all over my eyelids (carefully). Word of caution: don't use the rose or the aloe around the eyes, as they can sting a bit. But the vitamin C does work great and the DMAE is nice too.
Re: Serums around eyes
Thanks, zeebs! The skin around my left eye tends to throw tantrums so I'll def be avoiding the rose and aloe serums.
Re: Serums around eyes
I've used the Green Tea & Aloe and the VitC serums over my eyes without problems. My tear ducts don't work right in that they don't water properly, so I get gooey eyes and itchy eyes daily and sometimes, much worse. I even had a raised, red patch out the corner of one eye rim where it was a bit raw. I've used these serums without the slightest problem. You may, of course, be sensitive to any of the ingredients so it's always sensible to patch test first.
Re: Serums around eyes
Yeah, everybody is different. I agree that testing them conservatively is good. Maybe try them below your eyes at first, just a little dab. I find the Vitamin C to be most suitable for my eyes, but everyone has diff sensitivities.helena wrote:I've used the Green Tea & Aloe and the VitC serums over my eyes without problems.
