During this time, we continued to receive comments and private messages about the eye cream review, and the more we looked at it, the more anxious we became.
But it's really not that we procrastination is guilty, but it's really not easy to measure an eye cream.
Everyone's attention to eye creams is nothing more than how effective they are, this effect is not directly testable, it requires a long time to try, wait, detect.
Fortunately, before double twelve, we finally came out with the results!!!
First take a look at the family portrait, a total of 15 eye creams, more than three thousand expensive, cheap nearly 100 pieces, I believe you can see many familiar figures inside:
This evaluation of light is the sample fee, it cost us more than 10,000, not to mention the testing fee.
In terms of time, we also grinded for nearly 2 months, in addition to the efficacy test, we gathered 18 sisters, sisters, brothers and brothers for 30 days of trial testing, and ran several trips to the Shanghai laboratory.
In addition to showing the evaluation process and data, we will also put some lab photos to visualize the changes in their eyes after 30 days of eye cream.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > (1) How to choose eye cream? </h1>
Usually buy eye cream, do you look at which fire, just buy it back to try?
In fact, everyone's eye problems are different, some people are dark circles troubles, some people are fine lines troubles.
No matter what wind blows outside, "the right medicine" is the truth.
We have compiled the "information" of these 15 eye creams and categorized them for your reference.
Special attention should be paid here:
Retinol is now a hot anti-aging, anti-wrinkle ingredient, it is indeed good, but for some sensitive people may be intolerant, there is a certain stimulation.
Can it be used during pregnancy and lactation? There is still some controversy, and it is recommended to give priority to products that do not contain retinol.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > (2) Does eye cream really work? </h1>
While each eye cream advertises its own role, how effective is it in practice? We came to the Shanghai Efficacy Lab to test the efficacy of 15 eye creams.
Moisturizing capacity
Moisturizing should be the most basic need of the skin around the eyes. We use the German CK MPA-10 multi-probe skin test system, referring to the "Guidelines for Evaluating the Moisturizing Efficacy of Cosmetics" for testing.
The product is applied in a constant temperature and humidity room, and the moisture of the skin after 1 h and 4 h is measured respectively, and the moisturization of the corresponding product is seen according to this result.
As can be seen from the results above:
Melanin changes
In addition to moisturizing, people may pay more attention to their dark circles, fine lines and other effects.
Due to various conditions, we have selected 9 eye creams with high attention for real blind testing.
Each product is used by two people, comparing their eyes before and after 30 days of use.
Melanin changes can be understood as the effect of eye cream on dark circles. (However, some dark circles are not caused by melanin deposition, and the use of eye creams has no effect)
We used the German CK MPA-10 skin melanin probe (MX18) to test for changes in skin melanin around the eyes. The following are cases of melanin reduction:
Overall, after 30 days of using eye cream, the melanin deposited under the skin has decreased, of which Lan K luminescence, Ya S Lan D melanin has been reduced more, and the rest of the few models are not much different.
It can also be seen from the Visia diagram that the subcutaneous melanin does fade after using the eye cream.
Skin tone changes
There are also some eye creams that have a brightening effect, and we use the German CK MPA-10 Skin Color Test Probe (CL400) in a constant temperature and humidity room to test the skin tone changes around the eyes.
Overall, after 30 days of using the eye cream, the volunteers had some changes in the skin color around the eyes, but the changes were not so obvious that they might not be visible to the naked eye.
This is what everyone often says that using eye cream has no effect, but in fact, the melanin under the skin has been reduced.
As for the negative number, the laboratory gave the possibility that the comrade probably did not sleep well last night.
Changes in the lines at the corners of the eyes
Finally, there is the change of fine lines, we use a professional instrument (VisioScan VC98 USB) to observe the changes in the eye lines of the volunteers in the constant temperature and humidity room.
Some changes can be seen in the local texture grayscale plot:
From the skin feedback of volunteers, it can be found that eye cream has a certain effect on the fading of small lines and dry lines at the corners of the eyes.
Among them, the better effect is Lai Bni, Zi S Tang BaiY, especially Lai B Ni, the fine lines of the two volunteers have become lighter.
However, wrinkles are divided into false wrinkles (dry lines, small fine lines) and true wrinkles, false wrinkles can also be saved, once the false wrinkles become real, the eye cream effect is not large.
So again, little friends, wrinkles focus on prevention.
Feel the way it is
After 30 days of human mice, the volunteers gave us feedback on trying out the eye cream:
In addition, when the volunteers were using it, some people had a situation of long fat particles, and I believe that everyone has encountered this kind of thing.
In fact, there is no direct relationship between long fat particles and eye cream→ _→ grow fat particles as soon as you use eye cream? You may be wrong to blame the eye cream
Many people think that eye cream is so expensive, and they can't see the effect when they use it, so they think that eye cream is an "IQ tax".
However, we have evaluated that the continuous use of eye cream is still effective, such as eye skin moisturizing, melanin reduction, and lightening of dry lines.
These changes are difficult to see with the naked eye in the short term and can only be seen with the help of instruments.
Insist on using eye cream, look at it in a year, ten, twenty years, maybe you will be surprised.
If you're looking to buy eye cream, take a look at our review results:
Of course, eye cream is not a panacea, the best time to use eye cream is before wrinkles, dark circles have not yet been produced, for some wrinkles that have been formed, the effect is not so big.
Usually, in addition to using eye cream, you also need to cooperate with the care of the eyes, do not use the eyes excessively, do not stay up late.
