While you can use under eye wrinkle creams any crazy way you want, it’s usually best to follow prescribed practices to ensure ideal results.  If you are a first time user, expect some initial difficulty.  Rest assured, it will get way easier, though.

Under eye wrinkle creams will rehydratre dry skin cells by pulling the moisture directly to the areas of your eyes that require it.  It’s a great product to include in your daily regimen, right before applying your facial moisturizer.

A lot of people avoid under eye wrinkle creams because of their propensity to get in the eyes.  If that happens to you, it usually means that you’re applying the product closer than you should be doing.  Whatever you’re doing, stop right it now and follow this recommended application instead:

1. Take a small amount of the under eye wrinkle cream and place it on your ring finger
2. Rub your two ring fingers to spread it equally as well as warm it a bit.  A warmer cream promotes deeper penetration.
3. Dot the product around the outer edge of your eye, along the ocular bone.
4. Rub the outer corners vertically, with a gentle massaging movement.
5. Sweep the fingers under the eye, in an arching left to right movement three to four times.
6. If your eyes are drier than most, you may also need to sweep it around the entire eye socket.

When choosing an eye wrinkle cream, make sure to pay attention to how the manufacturer intended it to be used.  Most eye wrinkles creams in the market, after all, are geared towards either day or night use.

An eye wrinkle cream for daytime use is usually intended for light application, so that you can wear it while going about your day to day life.  These creams allow you to use makeup on top of the eye cream, with no stickiness and greasy after-feel.   Many daytime eye creams are intended to mask dark circles, puffiness and lines.  Usually, they’ll contain 3D crystals, which help fill and cover up blemishes around the eye area.

If it’s intended for night time use, your eye wrinkle cream will need to be applied heavily, to allow it to work its active ingredients on the affected areas.  Frequently, they will contain variants of ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) and vitamin A (retinol).  They’ll usually be very hydrating and are intended to repair damaged skin around the eyes.

Some anti-aging eye creams on the market allow for both day and night use.  These eye creams contain the best of both types of eye wrinkle cream products but should be applied the same way - light during the day and heavy at night.  Make sure you check what kind of uses your eye wrinkle cream is intended for to facilitate best results.
