They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but many people often look to their own eyes to find their own beauty. This usually leads to people throwing tons of money at over-the-counter products designed to make their eyes appear brighter and the skin around them smoother.
But here’s something over-the-counter manufacturers don’t tell you: the skin under your eyes is thinner and more sensitive than much of the skin on the rest of your body. And in the same way people think your eyes are a window to your soul, they can also be a gateway for dangerous chemicals and ingredients from over-the-counter eye creams to seep into your body. (1)
But you don’t need to worry about this potential danger anymore, as new research and SAFE ALL-NATURAL ALTERNATIVES are now available that will not only REMEDY dry skin and puffy eyes, but also EVEN out the skin under your eyes.
In this blog we talk about the danger of over-the-counter eye creams, and how to achieve your BEST SKIN HEALTH today!
The skin around your eyes is fragile, which means one very important thing: chemicals and ingredients in over-the-counter eye creams are even more dangerous when applied there. And considering there is a crazy amount of freedom in the American cosmetic industry when it comes to what over-the-counter manufacturers can include (or hide) on their product labels, it’s never been more important to GO ALL-NATURAL today.
One of the dangerous ingredients commonly found in over-the-counter eye creams is parabens. Parabens are hard to avoid when you shop over-the-counter, as long-term usage and exposure can lead to severe health problems, including upsetting your body’s hormone equilibrium and mimicking the estrogen found inside your body. (2)
Parabens are also known to be carcinogens and neurotoxins. This is especially dangerous when using eye creams, as the small glands found inside your eyelids – the meibomian glands (some of your most important body parts) can be affected. This is debilitating, as these glands enable you clearer vision, relaxed eyes, and stable vision. (3)
Not only do some over-the-counter manufacturers put dangerous chemicals and ingredients in their products, but they also sometimes contain these ingredients in the same quantity they’d use for the rest of their product catalog as well. This means the delicate and thin skin around your eyes is being attacked by chemicals the thicker skin around your eyes might have to deal with.

And though dermatologists do recommend keeping this delicate skin MOISTURIZED and NOURISHED, many ingredients are too harsh for this sensitive area. Some of these ingredients may be so dangerous that it’s recommended you conduct patch tests on the rest of your body just to ensure you don’t sustain long-term eye problems as a result of these chemicals and products. (5)
There’s another secret these over-the-counter manufacturers don’t want you to know about their eye creams: some of these manufacturers target people they know won’t see the instant benefit they promise. Some people with bags due to genetics or circles that are too set may be tricked into purchasing these products and exposing themselves to dangerous ingredients that can worsen – or cause – short and long-term health problems. (6)
Your eyelids are susceptible to a lot of damage the skin on the rest of your body is not exposed to, including sun damage, yet many over-the-counter products opt for buzzwords like de-aging and peptides to get you to buy their products. Just think about it – your eyelids are constantly exposed to the sun, but many of these over-the-counter products don’t even include sun protecting ingredients.
The bottom line is that marketing tools are used by manufacturers of over-the-counter products to get you to buy them, but none of these pitches are going to change the fact that most eye creams are basically made like the other moisturizers over-the-counters sell. Most buzzwords are used simply as sales pitches to get you to buy them. (7)

Another danger with these over-the-counter eye creams is that many people believe that by listening to their sales pitches, more of the product will mean greater results. This is untrue, as less is better when applying products to the sensitive skin under your eyes. In fact, too much eye cream can actually have the reverse effect you’re looking for, leading to irritated eyes and clogged pores. (8)
There is also some science as to why over-the-counter eye creams are dangerous to your skin health. One reason is because your lower lid actually drains differently, which means any products remaining there can far more easily seep into your skin, which can naturally cause blockage and puffiness.
Furthermore, extra weight sitting on your lower lid can actually cause your lids to droop indefinitely, eventually causing the upper lid to sag too. The remedy for such a situation is plastic surgery, which you definitely don’t want. Too much of these over-the-counter products can also lead to a buildup of keratin, which can lead to milia. (10)
As far as what ingredients to look for in your eye cream, we mentioned the effectiveness of ALL-NATURAL INGREDIENTS and VITAMINS. HYALURONIC ACID is also an effective ingredient that will help hydrate your eyes and reduce dryness. This moisture can wind up remedying the crow’s feet and wrinkles you might not even know you have!
