Biorevitalization of the skin around the eyes: before and after photos, preparations

As the fair sex gets older, the skin of the face increasingly needs high-quality hydration. Its cells rapidly lose water, and this process accelerates after 25-30 years. The eyelids and skin around the eyes especially suffer from a lack of pods in the cells. She ages earlier, and therefore requires special treatment. Hyaluronic acid will help you out - nothing can cope better with dehydration of the skin of the face and body than this compound!

Effect on the skin around the eyes

In their reviews, many ladies note that hyaluronic acid significantly transforms the face.
After procedures using this substance, women begin to look much younger. This can be clearly seen from the photos taken before and after using drugs with this component. Hyaluronic acid for eyes has the following properties:

provides skin protection;
eliminates wrinkles;
accelerates the regeneration process;
gives the skin elasticity and makes it more hydrated;
normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous glands;
Lightens dark circles under the eyes.

The composition is the head of everything

To choose a high-quality cream for the skin around the eyes, you should carefully study its composition. It should also contain other important components. That is why it is best to give preference to creams from the natural series. They are not capable of harm and have a positive effect on all processes that take place in the skin.

There are low-molecular and high-molecular creams with hyaluronic substance. The first option penetrates deeply into the skin and “works” at the cellular level. The second type of cream creates a film effect on the skin and does not allow moisture to evaporate, thereby nourishing and moisturizing the skin.

Natural creams for the skin around the eyes with hyaluronic acid may contain:

natural oils;
coenzyme Q10, which regulates metabolism;
haloxyl eliminates dark circles under the eyes;
argirelene prevents the appearance of wrinkles;
vitamin K improves blood circulation;
Vitamin C accumulates moisture.

All these components can easily be found in creams from the natural series. They do not contain substances harmful to the skin that are found in commercial creams:

Caffeine, which dehydrates the skin.
Parabens can cause hormonal chaos.
Sodium chloride, which can cause replenishment and many others.

Application options

There are different ways to use hyaluronic acid to rejuvenate the skin around the eyes. The choice of method will depend on the individual characteristics of the body, as well as on what effect you are counting on.

Today cosmetologists offer the following options for using this substance:

To choose the most suitable option, it is better to contact a specialist. It is not at all necessary to undergo anti-aging procedures in a beauty salon or cosmetology clinic. Some medications can also be used at home.

To obtain the desired result, you must strictly follow the rules specified in the instructions and take breaks between courses. Otherwise, addiction to hyaluronic acid may develop.

Injections

You cannot give the injection yourself, otherwise it is quite possible that you will damage your skin or eye. The specialist decides which drug to use for injection. The choice depends on the problem that needs to be eliminated.

After the injection, the product must be properly distributed under the skin. This should be done using patting movements.

For 24 hours after the injection, you should not sleep on your stomach or touch the skin around your eyes. You will have to avoid visiting beaches, solariums, and baths for at least 7 days. Before using additional cosmetics, you should consult a specialist.

You will notice the effect within a few hours after using the drug. To obtain full results, you must undergo a course of injections. Their number is determined by the cosmetologist.

Creams

The cosmetic market today offers a large number of anti-aging products containing hyaluronic acid. A cream with this component is easy to find, for example, in a pharmacy.

After application to the face, this product will create a thin film on the surface of the skin. It will protect the epidermis from negative external influences.

Creams with hyaluronic acid effectively enrich tissues with moisture. In addition, such products keep the skin toned by improving local metabolic processes.

Powder

Hyaluronic acid products are also available in powder form. Such drugs are easy to use. They allow you to achieve very good results that last for several days.

Before using this product, you should thoroughly clean the area around the eyes. Dissolve the powder in clean boiled water and leave for half an hour. The mass should swell. Then apply the drug to the skin and wait until it is absorbed. This usually takes no more than 30 minutes.

Hyaluronic acid powder is best used after waking up and before bed. You can secure the result using a skin moisturizing cream. After using this product, swelling and wrinkles will disappear, and your face will look fresher and more rested.

The price of the powder is quite reasonable. Therefore, it can be purchased quite often.

Patches

Patches are patches impregnated with hyaluronic acid. You can buy them in specialized stores.

Prices for patches with hyaluronic acid vary greatly. They can cost tens of thousands or several hundred rubles. However, experts say that there is not much difference between them, since the effect is almost always the same.

One of the main advantages of such patches is their ability to provide noticeable results after the first use. The patch should be left on for 5 to 10 minutes. The exact time depends on the condition of the area around the eyes.

If you use the patches regularly, swelling, dark circles, fine wrinkles will disappear, and the skin will become more elastic. Patches can be used to prepare the area around the eyes for the application of decorative cosmetics.

After removing the patches, you need to absorb the remaining hyaluronic acid into the skin. To do this, gently pat it with clean fingers. There is no need to use moisturizer after patches. Many ladies write in their reviews that they are very convenient to use at home.

Masks

This method of using hyaluronic acid is well suited for women with deep folds on the face and pronounced age-related changes. Masks provide effective hydration, as their active substances are able to penetrate deep into the tissue.

You can purchase a ready-made mask or make a mixture at home. To create such a product, you need to buy hyaluronic acid in an ampoule, in the form of a solution or powder.

Mix hyaluronic acid with kefir and spread the mask on the skin (it should be cleaned first). Then wait approximately 20 minutes. Rinse off the product with a cotton pad moistened with water or simply wash thoroughly. To consolidate the result, use a moisturizer at the end of the procedure.

Lenamelkina: Hyaluronic acid for the area around the eyes Gemene or How to defeat “crow’s feet”

Hi all!

Wrinkles around the eyes appear the very first, because the skin in this area is very thin, there are very few sweat and sebaceous glands, which are responsible for keeping the skin moisturized. These wrinkles are not always an indicator of age-related changes, because the eyes are actively involved in facial expressions, and therefore wrinkles can appear in young girls.

I’m already over thirty and small wrinkles around my eyes, popularly known as “crow’s feet,” have begun to give me a lot of unpleasant emotions. Therefore, periodically in courses I use special eyelid products in my care.

I recently tried Hyaluronic Acid for the eye area from Gemene and I liked this product so much that I decided to talk about it.

For those who are not familiar with this brand, I will mention that Gemene is a subsidiary brand of the Latvian company DNC, which has been on the Russian market for more than 20 years. Direct production is located in the Moscow region. However, unlike DNC, Gemene products are produced according to recipes developed in France and under the strict control of French partners.

Package

This product for the skin around the eyes is presented in a small volume - 12 ml.

The outer packaging is a small box made of metallized cardboard, because of this the whole box shimmers and glares. Design in brown-red tone. The font color, in my opinion, is not entirely successful. It is yellow and small. The combination of this color with a brown background and a metallic sheen makes reading the information on the packaging difficult in some places. Although the information on the application and properties of the product on the packaging is comprehensive and I would like to read it.

Like most DNC products, there is also a window on the box and a tamper-evident sticker. But unlike DNC, the packaging of Gemene products also has a decorative element - a gold chain.

Inside the box there is a bottle with the contents.

But this is not just a bottle! This is a mega-convenient device for caring for delicate eyelid skin.

First of all, he's handsome. Made of brown, very dense plastic (at first I thought it was glass, but no....). The shape is elegant, comfortable to hold in your hand.

Secondly, it is functional. A special small metal ball made of medical steel with special additives is built into the top of the bottle. Thanks to this, the product is convenient to apply and distribute without touching it with your fingers. Thus, the bottle is not only a vessel for storing the contents, but also a device for application and massage at the same time.

I will tell you more about the use of this ball roller later.

About the composition

The manufacturer promises that this product relieves puffiness, reduces circles under the eyes, tightens and protects the skin, deeply moisturizes, and is easily and quickly absorbed.

All these properties of the product are due to the action of the active component, namely hyaluronic acid . As everyone knows, hyaluronic acid is a powerful moisturizer and guardian of youth and beauty. It has a tightening effect, removing fine wrinkles and reducing swelling.

This product has a minimally simple composition. Actually, there are only three components: hyaluronic acid, water and leuconostoc (radish enzyme) as a preservative. That's all

This product is a product of non-animal origin.

Hyaluronic acid for the eye area is presented in the form of a transparent gel. It is completely odorless, non-sticky, spreads well over the eyelids, and is absorbed fairly quickly.

The shelf life of the product is 35 months, after the first opening - 6 months.

Price in online stores - 385 rubles.

Well, now I’ll tell you more about the application and effect.

When using for the first time, you need to turn the bottle upside down and lightly roll it over your palm to moisten the ball with the gel. This is no longer required in the future. Then gently, without strong pressure, roll the ball over the eyelids in the direction of the massage lines: towards the nose under the eyes, towards the ears - above the eyes.

A visual diagram of massage lines taken from the public domain on the Internet

The ball sits in a plastic frame and in early reviews of this product I came across comments that the edges of this frame scratch the skin. I don’t know, maybe since then the manufacturer has changed something in the “fitting” of the ball or I just came across a good copy)) but I didn’t notice even a hint of scratching. The edge of the plastic frame of the ball is smooth and does not touch the skin.

The roller works well, rolls easily, and dispenses the product in small portions. This allows the product to be economical. The bottle lasted me about 4 months.

Since the ball is metal, when it comes into contact with the skin, the steel creates a cooling effect. This is so great when you need to remove swelling! The massage and drainage effect of the ball improves blood microcirculation, and its coolness reduces swelling.

Immediately after applying the gel, a slight feeling of tightness occurs due to the effect of hyaluronic acid. But it soon goes away, and eventually all wrinkles are filled with moisture and become less noticeable.

The effect of this gel is cumulative. You can use it for a long time - 2-3 months. But then the manufacturer recommends taking a break. The gel can be applied up to 3 times a day. But I usually used it only in the evenings, and still there was a result.

My main goal was to minimize fine wrinkles around the eyes. My age is 30+, there are no bruises or swelling under the eyes, but crow’s feet have already appeared. This gel did its job just perfectly!

Hyaluronic acid as a super moisturizer plus a massage roller is an excellent combo against fine wrinkles around the eyes.

But the results from the gel do not appear immediately. In order for changes to be noticeable, you need to use it regularly for at least 2 weeks, since the effect of the product is cumulative.

What I noticed after a month of daily use of the gel:

Pleasant cooling and a light massage relieve muscle tension, the skin of the eyelids has become less “sagging”, tightened, and the network of fine wrinkles has noticeably smoothed out.

By the way, this product can be used not only for the area around the eyes. The roller is perfect for the entire face; you can also massage along the lines, paying special attention to the eyebrow fold and nasolabial fold. After the product is finished, the empty bottle can be used as a massager with another eye cream.

I summarize all the advantages of Gemene Hyaluronic Acid for the eye area

natural composition
bottle massager, roller works great
cool steel roller instantly tones blood vessels
Roller massage relieves muscle tension in the eyelids
perfectly moisturizes the skin
smoothes out fine wrinkles
removes swelling
economical product
affordable price

I really liked this eyelid skin care product. Effective, natural, affordable, and even in such a convenient format. I recommend!

Popular drugs

It is recommended to choose products from companies that have won the trust of customers. A large number of positive reviews are left about such products:

"Evelyn" Bio HYALURON 4D. This is an affordable but effective remedy. The cream provides the skin with the necessary amount of moisture and eliminates wrinkles.
"Novosvit". This is a serum with collagen and hyaluronic acid. In reviews, ladies note that it wonderfully moisturizes the skin.

Application rules

Hyaluronic acid for bruises and bags under the eyes is applied to a clean face. Movements should be neat and light.

After using the drug, it is not recommended to go out into fresh air for an hour. Especially in winter. Microparticles of the product will freeze and become crystals. They can easily injure the skin around the eyes.

Hyaluronic acid injections should not be combined with other treatments aimed at rejuvenating or treating facial tissue. Otherwise, the risk of side effects increases.

In what cases are “beauty injections” recommended?

Hyaluronic acid helps to cope with many unpleasant, in most cases inevitable, eyelid skin problems. A cosmetologist can recommend injections with this substance in the following cases:

if the client wants to smooth out existing wrinkles around the eyes and prevent their further development;
as an additional anti-aging procedure in combination with other cosmetic measures;
Hyaluronic acid helps get rid of bags under the eyes;
to reduce the pronounced nasolacrimal groove;
to combat a hernia, injection deep into the subcutaneous layer - biorevitalization, allows you to eliminate hernial protrusion in the lower eyelid without surgery;
to remove wrinkles in the folds of the nasolabial triangle, between the eyebrows and in the forehead;
if there is age-related pigmentation that the client wants to get rid of;
to quickly and painlessly get rid of dark circles under the eyes.

Hyaluronic acid injections can be called a breakthrough in the beauty industry. What should patients who decide to undergo this procedure know?

Contraindications

Eye gel with anti-aging hyaluronic acid and other products containing this component are not suitable for everyone. The following contraindications to the use of such drugs can be identified:

infectious diseases;
tendency to bleeding, swelling;
individual intolerance to hyaluronic acid;
period of lactation or childbearing;
fungus, eczema, psoriasis on areas of the face that you are going to expose to hyaluronic acid;
various skin lesions.

And finally

Hyaluronic acid for the skin around the eyes can be used in different ways. Which one to prefer depends on your goals, as well as the condition of your skin.

Injections are suitable if maximum effectiveness is required. However, not everyone dares to choose this method of rejuvenation. Masks, patches and other surface products have a gentler effect, and they can also be used at home, which is very convenient.

In any case, hyaluronic acid will significantly improve the condition of the skin around the eyes. The main thing is to adhere to the rules of its use and follow the recommendations of the cosmetologist.

The skin of the eyelids is very thin, it quickly loses moisture and fades. In addition, due to the mobility of this zone, small wrinkles, popularly called crow's feet, appear on the outer corners of the eye over time. To maintain youth, cosmetologists recommend choosing cosmetics with moisturizing ingredients. These include hyaluronic acid: its molecules help retain moisture, improve metabolic processes, increase skin turgor, and relieve fatigue.

How it works

Every woman would like her youth to remain as long as possible. Regardless of a person’s desires, nature dictates its conditions: turgor (skin elasticity) depends on the amount of water that the dermis can hold. Hyaluronic acid is responsible for maintaining moisture in the body. Being a gelling agent by nature, it thickens water, preventing it from quickly evaporating and evenly distributing moisture throughout the body.

As part of cosmetic products for the care of the face and skin of the eyelids, hyaluron can solve a lot of problems:

Due to its ability to bind liquid and create a protective barrier, hyaluronic acid is an excellent component of a cream for moisturizing and protecting sensitive eyelid skin from drying out.
Cosmetic mesotherapy procedures, which ensure the penetration of polysaccharide into the deep layers of the dermis, make the skin more elastic, help remove dark circles under the eyes and eliminate age-related pigmentation.
Special medical gels with hyaluron are effective for hernia of the lower eyelid. The use of these remedies in the early stages of diagnosing the problem helps to avoid surgical intervention.
Under the skin of the eyelids there is a thin layer of fatty tissue, which under certain conditions is prone to swelling, as a result of which the front wall of the eyelid is greatly stretched and protrudes. Hyaluronic acid for the eyes can eliminate this unpleasant cosmetic defect.
As part of anti-aging products, it accelerates the synthesis of collagen and elastin, which helps reduce the visibility of fine expression wrinkles and correct the oval of the face.

Methods of application

There are low-molecular and high-molecular hyaluron products. The first category includes various injections and mesotherapy procedures. They use small polysaccharide molecules that have the ability to penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis. The second category includes creams, ointments, gels, drops. Such products help retain moisture on the surface of the skin or mucous membrane of the eye.

Eye drops with hyaluronic acid

The polysaccharide can often be found in moisturizing ophthalmic drops. Such products are simply irreplaceable for those who sit at the computer for a long time or use contact lenses. Drops help retain moisture on the surface of the eyeball, protect the mucous membrane from drying out, remove redness, symptoms of fatigue or irritation of the eyelids. In addition, eye drops with hyaluronic acid are prescribed:

people who, due to the specifics of their work, are forced to spend a long time in the sun or in a room with dry air;
for the prevention of infectious diseases after surgical interventions;
after injuries or chemical burns to the eyes.

In recent years, pharmaceutical manufacturers have been actively developing various drops to prevent dry eyes. One of these products is the moisturizing ophthalmic solution Oksial. It consists of several components:

hyaluron 0.15%;
boric acid;
oxide 0.06%;
electrolytes – chloride, sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium;
purified water.

The drops help fight dry eye syndrome, relieve tension, alleviate discomfort when wearing contact lenses, and eliminate the feeling of dryness and irritation of the mucous membranes caused by external environmental factors. In terms of their consistency, the degree of viscosity of the drops completely coincides with natural tears. The cost of drops in Moscow is about 300-400 rubles. In pharmacies you can also find an analogue of Oksial with a slightly higher price (about 600-700 rubles per bottle) - Hilo-chest of drawers.

For those who constantly use contact lenses, there were specially developed moisturizing and soothing eye drops - Blink. In addition to sodium hyaluronate, this product contains:

Polyethylene glycol. It firmly adheres to the surface of the cornea, preventing damage and drying out.
Surface preservative – borate buffer. When it comes into contact with the mucous membrane of the eye, this substance, under the influence of light, breaks down into the natural components of human tears.
Electrolytes – calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium chloride. They provide cellular biochemical processes and help maintain natural conditions on the surface of the eyeball.

All types of eye drops with hyaluron are absolutely safe for the eyes and can be used during pregnancy. They have only one contraindication - individual intolerance to the components. Side effects occur very rarely, among them allergic reactions and a feeling of dryness are especially prominent. After opening the bottle, the solution must be used within 60 days. Dispose of any remaining drugs.

Directions for use and dosage of eye drops with hyaluronic acid:

Wash your hands thoroughly before using the solution.
Open the bottle by twisting the cap until the ring comes off.
Turn the bottle upside down and drop 1-2 drops into each eye.
Blink a little to distribute the liquid evenly.
Close the bottle cap tightly after use.

Hyaluronic acid under the eyes is used in various anti-aging cosmetics. The composition of creams from the mass market includes an unmodified polysaccharide obtained from rooster combs, biomass of bacteriological cultures, umbilical cord or bull's eye. It has a high density and impressive size, so it cannot penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis, but concentrates on the surface of the eyelids.

A cream with whole hyaluronic acid molecules is indispensable in the winter, when strong gusts of cold wind and frost dry out the epidermis. The protective film will help retain moisture and protect the eyelids from the influence of negative natural factors. It is better to apply this cream half an hour before going outside. The only negative is that the effect of using inexpensive products lasts no more than a day; as soon as you wash off the film, your skin will return to its original state. Popular products from the inexpensive series:

cream from Evelyn bio Hyaluron 4D;
serum to reduce puffiness and circles under the eyes from Stella Maris;
broad-spectrum cream from Librederm;
Natura Siberica WHITE Night Eye Cream;
D'Oliva care balm.

Cosmetics from the “Luxury” category act somewhat differently. It contains small hyaluronic acid molecules that easily penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis, nourish the eye skin from the inside, smooth out fine wrinkles and, interacting with cell receptors, trigger regeneration processes. To achieve such effects, you need to use an expensive cream regularly.

Hyaluronic acid can be found in many different luxury cosmetics, but the following creams are especially popular among women:

Planter's Hialuronico Ac >

Eye gel with hyaluronic acid

External products in the form of gels with hyaluronic acid moisturize the skin, making it smooth, firm and elastic. Compared to similar creams, they have a lighter consistency, do not clog pores, but create a protective film on the surface of the eyelids, allowing the skin to “breathe.” In addition to the anti-aging effect, some hyaluronic gels have healing properties - they trigger cell regeneration processes, have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

Gels, like anti-aging creams, should be applied in a thin layer to the entire surface of the eyelid, once or twice a day. Of the popular cosmetics containing this polymer substance, it is worth highlighting:

Ampoule concentrate Teana gel. The product is available in bottles that resemble injection ampoules in appearance. The transparent, odorless gel-like liquid consists of only two components - hyaluronate and a preservative. The drug must be applied to a cleansed face 1-2 times a day. The ampoule concentrate eliminates fine wrinkles, moisturizes the upper layer of the epidermis, and eliminates puffiness.
Cosmetic gel lotion DNC. The product helps restore the natural balance of hyaluronic acid in the dermis, significantly increasing its protective properties. The gel lotion is applied in the usual way, does not cause irritation, and does not dry out the skin. The average price in Moscow for 10 ml of product is 172 rubles.
Vital C Hydrating Eye Recovery Gel. The innovative anti-aging gel contains a complex of antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin K, and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate. The active components of the product help remove age-related changes in the skin of the eyelids, intensively nourish and moisturize the epidermis. Vital gel is produced in a glass jar with a convenient dispenser. The price for 15 ml in Moscow varies from 1900 to 2500 rubles.

Side effects

If this polysaccharide is part of a moisturizing serum, cream or gel, then the worst side effect from it is an allergic reaction. Injecting the substance, on the contrary, is fraught with serious consequences, both for the skin and for general health. The most common side effects from injections:

hemorrhages, bruises, hematomas;
burning after injection;
allergic reaction;
swelling;
infectious inflammation;
long healing process;
the appearance of papules, compactions at the puncture site;
skin necrosis;
facial asymmetry.

Contraindications

Cosmetics in the form of serums, mousses, creams are contraindicated in case of increased skin sensitivity to hyaluronic acid, psoriasis, rashes, allergic reactions, if there are abrasions, cuts or other injuries on the face. Injections with hyaluronic acid for the eyes are strictly contraindicated in the presence of the following conditions or diagnoses:

during the period of bearing a child;
lactation;
infectious diseases with increased body temperature or general deterioration of health;
psoriasis;
allergic reactions to hyaluron;
violation of the integrity of the skin;
bacterial dermatitis;
blood diseases that lead to a decrease in its ability to clot;
inflammatory processes of soft tissues or skin surfaces.

Reviews

Alla, 45 years old I have an ophthalmic solution with hyaluronic acid for comfortable wearing of Biotrue contact lenses. Previously, in the office, your eyes were constantly dry, it felt as if sand had been poured into your eyes. With the purchase of these drops, the situation changed dramatically. I can wear lenses for up to 20 hours without removing them, and there are no unpleasant sensations.

Oksana, 37 years old I decided to try the face cream mousse from the Merz company. Yes, the product is easy to apply and does not leave a greasy film, but I did not notice any special effect on wrinkles. Plus, the situation in problem areas has worsened - acne has become inflamed. I don’t understand why overpay if the same result can be obtained from any cheap cream.

Larisa, 42 years old I understand that every manufacturer will praise their product. I tried subcutaneous injections with hyaluronic acid on myself. During the procedure there were unpleasant sensations, and after the injections small bruises remained on the delicate skin. Everything went away in a couple of days, and the result pleased me - no bags, bruises under the eyes and fewer wrinkles.

Age-related changes primarily affect the most delicate and sensitive areas of the skin on the face. As a rule, this is the skin in the eye area. There are almost no sebaceous glands here, the epidermis is thin and vulnerable, so the cells are easily influenced by internal and external negative factors. They become dehydrated, lose their ability to recover quickly, and metabolic processes are also disrupted.

As a result, the skin dries out, loses firmness and elasticity, the first folds and wrinkles, dark circles, and swelling form. Signs of aging usually begin to bother you after 30 years, but for some they appear after 25. In any case, you cannot do without support. Hyaluronic acid for the skin around the eyes is one of the most effective modern remedies for eliminating wrinkles, bruises and bags under the eyes. It can be used at home or take a rejuvenating course in a cosmetology salon.

Hyaluronic acid for the eyes is available in various pharmaceutical forms; you can purchase it in its pure form for external use, injections, or use it as part of restorative and moisturizing creams. Which product to choose, how to apply it, trust a specialist or carry out anti-aging procedures yourself, depends on the condition of the skin, the individual characteristics of the patient, current problems and goals.

Benefits for the eyes

What are the benefits of cosmetics with hyaluronic acid for the skin around the eyes? Hyaluronic acid increases skin regeneration, accelerating the healing of wounds, cracks, and promoting cell renewal; removes swelling, puffiness of the eyelids, visual signs of chronic lack of sleep, returns the skin to a healthy, beautiful shade. It also stimulates the production of elastin and collagen fibers in the dermis. In other words, hyaluronic acid helps the skin remain elastic, firm, smooth, soft longer and, if necessary, returns the listed qualities to it.

The polysaccharide we are considering is formed independently in the human body. However, already at a relatively young age, this process reduces its momentum, and it needs help from the outside. This can be done, first of all, by externally applying hyaluronic acid to the skin around the eyes in creams.

How does hyaluronic acid work?

Moisturizing is the main effect of this product. Since hyaluronic acid is found in human cells, it is easily absorbed and well tolerated. This is a substance familiar to the body. It doesn’t just moisturize - an imperceptible and imperceptible film forms on the surface. On the one hand, it prevents moisture evaporation and drying of the skin. On the other hand, it literally draws moisture from the air and saturates the cells with it. If you use products with hyaluronate in parallel with other drugs containing vitamins, oils and other active ingredients, their effect will be enhanced.

The complex effect of hyaluronic acid for the skin around the eyes is as follows:

stimulates the ability of skin cells to regenerate;
moisturizes and retains moisture inside cells;
smoothes out the first wrinkles;
brightens dark circles;
removes swelling by accelerating metabolic processes;
creates a protective barrier on sensitive skin.

Of course, this is not eye contour surgery; you should not hope that gel or even injections will help remove serious problems. But the skin will look noticeably better, and this result will last for a long time.

Benefits of creams with hyaluronic acid

One of the best ways to maintain the elasticity of the skin around the eyes is to use a cream with hyaluronic acid. This component penetrates deeply into the skin, revitalizes it and makes it more elastic in a short time. The secret of such a miraculous result is that the substance helps the skin absorb moisture. Water is a necessary component for the functioning of processes in the skin. Without it, the skin will become dry, like parchment.

It is important that water not only enters the body, but also remains in the intercellular space, filling the cells with energy. This is exactly what hyaluronic acid helps do. In addition to the fact that this substance is indispensable for the skin around the eyes, it also promotes the formation of joint fluid. Hyaluronic acid makes the water thicker and prevents it from evaporating.

Also, the advantages of such an effective cream include:

Increasing collagen synthesis in the skin, which contributes to the appearance of clear contours, firmness and elasticity.
Impact on the consistency of the vitreous body of the eye.
Helps to gently moisturize delicate skin without damaging it.
Improving elastin synthesis in the skin.

If a woman herself does not understand the seriousness of the matter and neglects care methods, then the skin itself will hint at a lack of hyaluronic substance in it. The skin begins to turn pale, becomes dry and flabby. If the situation is critical, the condition of the joints will worsen, and intraocular pressure may even increase. With age, the situation only gets worse and ignoring what is happening means signing a death sentence for healthy and beautiful skin.

Excessive ultraviolet rays negatively affect the content of hyaluronic acid in the body.

Methods of application

Powder

Before use, the powder must be diluted with boiled distilled water. 1 g of the substance is mixed with a full tablespoon of water at room temperature and left for 30 minutes to swell. Then apply to cleansed facial skin and leave for 30–40 minutes until completely absorbed. After this, you can use your regular makeup cream and apply cosmetics. You can do the procedure in the morning and evening for at least 14 days. If necessary, the course is continued for another 7 days.

Moisturizing drops

Drops are used in the same way as a solution prepared from powder, the only difference being that absorption will take much less time. As a rule, liquid products are sold in pharmacies in the form of ampoules or bottles with a special dispenser (roller). If the entire package is not used immediately, store any leftovers in a cool, dark place.

Mask

To prepare masks at home, use liquid in ampoules, drops, a solution from a powder, or the powder itself. The basis of the mask can be yogurt, kefir, oatmeal, white clay, whipped egg white or yolk, fruit or vegetable puree. The choice depends on the skin type and the existing problem. No more than 3 drops or 1 g of the product is added to the prepared mask mixture, applied to cleansed and moisturized skin and left for 15–20 minutes, then carefully washed off with warm water and moisturized with your usual cream.

Strips with hyaluronic acid

Such products can be purchased at pharmacies or good cosmetics stores. They are ideal for express care on a business trip or on vacation; they give an immediate effect, but it does not last long. The strips are pieces of fabric impregnated with hyaluronic acid in sealed packaging. They are removed from the packaging immediately before use and applied to the eyes. Exposure time is 15–20 minutes. There is no need to wash your face after the procedure.

Injections

In pharmacies and online stores you can find special patches with hyaluron. The drug is administered with hyaluronic microneedles, which minimally injure the skin. It is strongly recommended not to inject the product yourself. To avoid side effects and complications, it is better to trust a doctor or a good cosmetologist. Before the procedure, an anesthetic is injected or the skin is rubbed with an ice cube to reduce pain during punctures. After administering the drug, the master distributes it under the skin with patting movements. Swelling may be noticeable. This is fine. After some time they will resolve on their own. Effectiveness after a course of injections lasts up to 12 months.

On the first day after the procedure, you should not touch the treated areas of the skin, much less pinch or press them. It is not recommended to sleep with your face in the pillow or strain your facial muscles. In the next 5–7 days, you should not visit the sauna or bathhouse, sunbathe, dive, or swim in open water. Cosmetics are used only after consultation with a doctor.

How to properly store and apply hyaluronic acid cream for the skin around the eyes

When the cream is selected, it is important to decide how to store it correctly in order to preserve all its properties for as long as possible. There are day and night creams. The day cream should be stored in the refrigerator, and the night cream should be stored in a cool place without abundant sunlight.

You should always close the cap and monitor the expiration date of the product. It is also necessary to apply the cream correctly. The area around the eyes is very delicate, so any incorrect movements can cause even more harm than not using the product at all.

The creamy consistency should not be applied to the moving eyelid and eyelash growth area. Patting movements are optimal; intense rubbing should be avoided. The application pattern is circular: from the bridge of the nose to the corner of the eye and, conversely, from the corner to the bridge of the nose. Night cream does not need to be applied immediately before bed. It is better to do this an hour in advance so that the substance is gradually absorbed and penetrates the layers of the skin.

Side effects and contraindications

As an organic product, hyaluronic acid is generally well tolerated but may cause allergic reactions. This is the main and almost the only contraindication to the use of this product.

Injections of hyaluronic acid under the eyes have the following contraindications:

individual intolerance to the active component;
skin damage;
psoriasis, eczema, fungus in areas that need to be treated;
tendency to swelling or bleeding;
During pregnancy and breastfeeding;
exacerbation of any infectious diseases.

After injections, swelling and redness often occur. If unpleasant phenomena do not go away after 24 hours, you should contact a specialist and choose another remedy or procedure for eye rejuvenation.

Hyaluronic acid under the eyes: creams, injections and vitamin complexes

This substance is used in various ways in cosmetology to combat aging. Most often in the form of injections, vitamin complexes and for the production of anti-aging creams.

1. Hyaluronic acid around the eye is often applied in the form of creams. Reviews from women who have used hyaluron cream indicate that cheap ones can only moisturize the skin and eliminate bags, nothing more. And more expensive products, as a rule, produce a better effect; they are able to remove small wrinkles in the corners and have a tonic effect. Only creams for the skin around the eyes can be used in this sensitive area; they should not be confused with products for the entire face, as they can cause harm.

2. Vitamin complexes based on hyaluronic acid are also no less popular. They usually contain additional beta-carotene, zinc, selenium, vitamins A and C.

3. The most effective option for rejuvenation is injections using hyaluron. It is injected in the form of a gel under the skin; at a deep level it is more active.

In order to normalize moisture levels and smooth out wrinkles, hyaluronic acid is used under the eyes. Its disadvantage is that the skin gets used to “beauty injections”; naturally, less acid begins to be produced. Also, this is a rather expensive procedure, although an undoubted effect will definitely be observed.

Additional Information

All hyaluronic preparations should be applied only to cleansed skin with light, gentle movements. It is not recommended to go outside in the next 40–45 minutes after applying the product, especially in the cold season. Microparticles of moisture will freeze and turn into crystals, which easily injure the delicate skin around the eyes.

After applying hyaluronic acid in its pure form, there may be a feeling of a film on the skin. This is a normal reaction; after 15–20 minutes the discomfort will go away on its own.

After hyaluronic injections, you should avoid physical activity and exercise in the gym, so as not to provoke the formation of edema. Injections should not be given simultaneously with other hardware procedures for skin treatment or rejuvenation.

Since hyaluronic acid is a product of organic origin, it is better to store it and cosmetic products containing it in the refrigerator.

That is why doctors and cosmetologists advise not to abuse hyaluronic preparations, not to exceed the dosage and duration of the course, and to use other alternative means in between.

You should also understand that high-quality products that really help restore the skin around the eyes cannot be cheap. The average cost of a good cream with hyaluronic acid is 450–500 rubles.

How to properly apply hyaluronic acid to the area around the eyes?

Since hyaluronic acid is an excellent moisturizer, it is often used instead of eye cream in the hope that the product will fill the smallest expression lines, straighten the surface of the skin, and nourish thin, delicate, dry skin with moisture. Some people apply hyaluronic acid to their face in its pure form, others add a small amount to the cream. However, both of them sometimes make unforgivable mistakes and, instead of improving their appearance, they only worsen it. Let's get acquainted with the advice of cosmetologists to use hyaluronic acid correctly and so that it only benefits our skin!

Why is it not recommended to apply hyaluronic acid under the eyes?

Is hyaluronic acid applied under the eyes? “Neither hyaluronic acid in its pure form nor in creams should be applied to the recess under the eye, located between the bone of the orbit and the lower eyelid,” explains cosmetologist and skin expert Caroline Hitchcock. – Quite a lot of women, without knowing it, apply this product under their eyes, hoping that hyaluronic acid will moisturize the skin and smooth out expression lines under the lower eyelid. But in the end they get the opposite effect! All moisturizers, including hyaluronic acid, attract moisture to the area where they are applied. Lymphatic fluid is attracted to this area, and in the morning you wake up with puffiness and bags under your eyes.” Thus, if you use hyaluronic acid, apply it to the eyelids only on the top or sides, but not under the eyes.

How much hyaluronic acid to apply at a time and how to rub it?

Some more useful tips.
How do you usually distribute hyaluronic acid or a cream containing it over the skin? If you are one of those who like to rub your skin, it is better to give up this habit. In the area around the eyes, the skin is thin, delicate and sensitive, so wrinkles easily form here from such a traumatic impact. It is best to work it into the skin with gentle tapping movements after applying the product. The pad of the ring finger is optimally suited for these purposes. It turns out that this finger has the lightest touch! Some women ignore sellers' advice and instructions, believing that the more hyaluronic acid they apply to the skin, the faster and more effectively it will work. Actually this is not true. A small pea-sized drop of hyaluronic acid is enough for each eye. A larger amount of the product will not provide a better effect - on the contrary, the eyes will swell. If after use there is a small amount of hyaluronic acid left on your eyes, apply it to chapped lips. Hyaluronic acid is a great replacement for lip balm due to its moisturizing formula. Knowing these secrets, you will no longer suffer from bags under your eyes and will get the maximum benefit from using hyaluronic acid in its pure form or as part of a face cream. hyaluronic acid under the eyes hyaluronic acid bags under the eyes hyaluronic acid price hyaluronic acid buy hyaluronic acid for skin mesoroller mesotherapy lifting

Which drugs to choose

So, how the drug works and is used, in what forms it is available, and when it is better to stop using it, has already been clarified. It remains to find out which products are on sale and are most popular.

Hyaluronic acid "gemene". It is a liquid product in a small bottle with a special roller for ease of application. It should be used twice a day (or more often if necessary) alone or in combination with an anti-aging or restorative cream. To enhance the effect, the drug is stored in the refrigerator. According to the recommendations of experienced users, then it better removes dark circles and swelling. Moisturizing is felt immediately, the result is noticeable after a 3-week course.
"Libriderm". One of the best series of cosmetic products for hair and skin care with hyaluronic acid. The line includes shampoos, tonics, body and face creams, including eye serum and concealing primer. You can choose products with different molecular weights depending on age and problem. They are not addictive and can be used continuously.
"Novosvit". A fairly popular drug in the form of a serum containing both hyaluronic acid and collagen. The cost of one bottle is only 120 rubles, which certainly attracts buyers. However, the results after a full course of use are not the best; many do not note any effect at all, except for temporary hydration.

For many women, hyaluronic acid under the eyes has become a real salvation in the fight against annoying age-related changes on the face. Numerous reviews confirm the real effectiveness and safety of this product. You may not get as bright a result as the “before and after” photos on the Internet show, but it will be noticeable to others and you will like it.

Injection technique

No special preparation is required before the procedure. But in order for biorevitalization under the eyes to have the maximum effect, you need to give up alcohol and smoking a few days before it is performed. It is forbidden to do aggressive peelings, stay in the open sun for a long time or visit a solarium. Biorevitalization around the eyes is carried out in several stages:

The skin in the injection area is thoroughly cleaned of dirt and fat.
20 minutes before the start of the procedure, the face is treated with an anesthetic gel.
The drug containing hyaluronic acid is injected with a special thin needle called a microcannula. This allows you to avoid pain and discomfort during injections. A small papule will form at the injection site, which will smooth out in just a couple of days.

The drug administration regimen is determined individually by the cosmetologist. Its main task is to ensure that hyaluronic acid is distributed as evenly as possible in problem areas.
