Dark circles, puffiness, or fine lines… the eye area is the first place to show the effects of tiredness and the passing of time. To restore this delicate area to its full radiance, a targeted skincare routine is essential. Find out why the skin around the eyes shows signs of ageing so easily, and discover the techniques and skincare routines that can visibly rejuvenate your eyes.
Why does the skin around the eyes show signs of ageing so easily?
Thinner, more delicate and constantly under strain, the skin around the eyes often shows signs of tiredness and stress before the rest of the face does.
Thin and fragile skin

Specialised circulation systems
The area around the eyes is criss-crossed by a dense network of blood and lymph vessels. When circulation slows down or fluids build up, dark circles and puffiness can become more noticeable.
Thousands of movements every day
Blinking, smiling, or frowning… the skin around the eyes is constantly moving. Over time, these repeated movements can contribute to the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Visible signs around the eyes
- Dark circles and loss of radiance: when microcirculation slows around the eyes, the thin skin makes the blood vessels more visible. This creates shadows that make the skin look duller. Dark circles may also be caused by a build-up of pigment or a loss of volume under the eye.
- Puffiness: this is usually caused by a build-up of fluid or by a gradual loosening of the tissue beneath the eye.
- Wrinkles and fine lines: caused by repeated facial movements, combined with a reduction in collagen and elastin.

Unfortunately, sleep isn't a cure-all. Dark circles are caused by several factors: they may be vascular (microcirculation slows down and the blood vessels show through because the skin is very thin), pigmentary (a build-up of pigments and toxins under the eye) or structural (a hollow that forms with age and creates a shadowed area). Rest helps, but you also need to treat the skin directly to see a real difference.

By combining cold therapy and massage. Since morning puffiness is often caused by water being retained overnight, apply your skincare product using a cold metal tool or applicator to immediately boost circulation. Then gently massage from the inner corner of the eye outwards to drain away fluid and reduce puffiness around the eyes.
From the age of 25. This is the biological age at which the body's natural production of collagen and hyaluronic acid begins to slow down gradually. Starting to use an eye cream early on helps to provide the necessary hydration for the delicate area around the eyes and prevent the appearance of the first fine lines caused by the thousands of times we blink every day.
Yes, because the skin has different needs within a 24-hour period. In the morning, applying the product helps to protect this delicate area from external aggressors (pollution, temperature fluctuations) and to refresh the eyes. In the evening, cell regeneration is at its peak: the skin absorbs active ingredients much more effectively to repair the damage caused during the day.
Eye cream should be applied immediately after cleansing the skin and before applying your serum and face cream. As the eye contour cream is formulated to penetrate very thin skin, it should be applied directly to clean skin and before any other skincare products to ensure the active ingredients work to their full potential.
