As I’ve said multiple times previously, I’m not sold on the need for a separate eye cream. In fact, that’s a philosophy long espoused by Paula Begoun herself!
The only time I think you’d need to use a separate eye formulation is if you have a vexing concern for dark circles and puffiness.
But even Paula eventually came around to the idea of using a separate eye cream. Why? Because consumers have been conditioned to thinking that they need an eye cream. The truth is, you can and should be able to use a well-formulated facial skincare product around your eye area.
Need something a bit heavier in the eye area, the Omega+ Complex Moisturizer is a perfectly legitimate option for use around the eyes. Want something a bit lighter for the warmer months of the year? The Paula’s Choice Omega+ Complex Serum should and would do the trick.
But, if you’re one of those — that is, a skincare aficionado that believes an eye cream is essential in your routine, then at the very least reach for something well formulated that delivers real benefits to the delicate skin of the eye area.
And you cannot go wrong with the Omega+ Complex Eye Cream!
In terms of texture, it sits between the Omega+ Complex Moisturizer and the Omega+ Complex Serum. It’s a light, yet substantive formula that’s intended to moisturize and fortify even the driest of skin types. But it’s not too heavy if you have a concern for oiliness — though oily skin in the eye area is rare. The skin is simply too thin to hold a lot of oils.
Of the Omega+ Complex Eye Cream, Paula says the “sheer, lightweight lotion layers well and combines proven moisture-locking omegas, ceramides and amino acids together to plump skin’s surface and maintain hydration. Plus, a blend of niacinamide, mulberry, bearberry and licorice visibly brightens.”
