How to care for the eye contour area?

Beauty Tips

Our Initial Eye Contour has been developed leveraging over 25 years of scientific expertise in ophthalmology. Our technology is founded on a unique understanding of the eyelid and the micro-movements that constantly animate this area. Featuring a minimalist formulation that is highly tolerated and rich in active ingredients, the Initial Eye Contour effectively combats signs of aging.

Why caring for the eye contour is essential

The skin around the eyes is 5 times thinner than the rest of the face. Additionally, with over 28,000 eyelid blinks per day, it's an exceptionally mobile area.

Thus, the skin and muscle tissues around the eyes are more vulnerable to external aggressions and early signs of aging.

The eye contour therefore requires a specialized care that combines efficacy and safety. Here, tolerance is paramount.

Common eye contour issues

With its thin and highly mobile skin, the eye area is particularly prone to premature aging and signs of fatigue. With age, wrinkles and fine lines develop in this area. Dark circles and puffiness can also occur, often due to poor lymphatic circulation or thinning of the epidermis.

How to prevent and treat these issues

To care for this highly sensitive area and mitigate the effects of aging on the eye contour, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial. This includes adequate hydration (drinking at least 1.5 liters of water per day), a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, limited consumption of alcohol and tobacco, and sufficient, restorative sleep.

Additionally, using a cosmetic product specifically designed for this delicate area is essential to preserve the youthful appearance of the eyes.

Clarté Laboratoire's preservative-free formulas for the eye contour

Numerous scientific studies highlight the toxic effects of preservatives, especially with long-term use. They are also the second leading cause of contact allergies, after fragrances.

Yet, preservatives are commonly used in cosmetics as they protect formulations from bacterial contamination and oxidation. Thanks to the pharmaceutical expertise of Clarté Laboratoire, we have developed innovative alternatives to create preservative-free care products. Our formulas are sterilized and then preserved in a patented Airless bottle. This innovative packaging protects the products from oxidation and external contamination while maintaining the quality of the active ingredients and ensuring the perfect tolerance of our treatments.

Our initial eye contour

With only 14 ingredients, the formulation of our Initial Eye Contour is both minimalist and rich in active ingredients.

We have developed an "oil in water" emulsion suitable for this sensitive area, formulated without preservatives, silicones, alcohols, or fragrances.

Its key active ingredients include high-purity Hyaluronic Acid combining both high and low molecular weights, which deeply hydrates and forms a protective film on the skin; Argireline® Peptide, a powerful anti-aging agent that targets wrinkles and fine lines; and Eyeseryl® Tetrapeptide, which reduces puffiness and dark circles while brightening the eyes.

Due to its scientifically proven results, high skin tolerance, and innovations, our Eye Contour has also won the 2023 Revelation Award from Santé Magazine, awarded by a jury of scientific experts: Santé Magazine Revelation Award

Why is it important to care for my eye contour? The skin around the eye is 5 times thinner than the rest of the face. It is a constantly moving and particularly fragile area that requires tailor-made care.
That's why a regular serum or moisturizing cream is not suitable. Indeed, a heavy texture or one concentrated with actives not suited for the eye contour can overload the skin and weaken it. Finally, the care must be specifically formulated for the eye contour to ensure its perfect ophthalmological tolerance and thus avoid allergic reactions.

What are the benefits of preservative-free formulas for the eye contour? When applied to sensitive skin, especially around the eyes, preservatives can cause skin and ophthalmological reactions. In the medical field, particularly in ophthalmology, avoiding preservatives is a clear benefit for better tolerance. Our laboratory has established a recognized expertise in the development of formulations and delivery systems for preservative-free products.

How to correctly apply eye contour care? To effectively combat signs of aging and maximize results, the Initial Eye Contour should be applied daily, morning and evening, after the Initial Face Serum. Our treatments being concentrated in active ingredients, only a small amount of product is needed. The eye contour should be applied gently, using smoothing motions from the inner to the outer corner of the eye. After application, it is necessary to wait a few seconds for the product to fully penetrate before applying the facial moisturizer.
