Eye creams can help erase crows feet—if they contain the right ingredients. Find out what to look for on the label, plus an important rule for applying an eye cream, by watching this video featuring dermatologist Dr. Jordana Gilman.
Best treatment for crows feet is an eye cream that contains peptides, growth factors, and retinol. The cream itself will hydrate and pamper skin and will moisturize skin, look smoother. Growth factors and peptides stimulate collagen production and smooth the way fine lines. Retinol is the most effective ingredient for stimulating collagen production smoothing fine lines and can be found not only in eye creams, but also in facial creams, and be careful when you're applying your eye cream.
The skin around the eyes is very delicate, you never want to rub the area. So when you're putting on your eye cream put a little dab on your ring finger, tap your ring fingers together and then pat it gently into the skin.
