Hi Renee, as your advice we should not apply the eye cream on eye uper and lower eyelids, then how should to take care of that area and which product should we use for the area? Thank you
hi, i'm 22 and very new to the skincare world, i've only recently started getting interested and researching what i need and how to take care of my skin, and i've noticed that i have some fine lines under my eyes. my issue is that my lines are Right underneath my lower lashline, like they start around my tear duct and are pretty much parallel to my lashline, just a few millimeters bellow it. I'm wondering if an eye cream will (spread enough to) reach them or if you recommend i rather use something like eye masks/patches? (i'm not sure what the proper application of under eye masks is but i tend to see people placing them a lot nearer to the lash line) thanks in advance if you respond and sorry for any grammar/phrasing errors, english isn't my native language

Hey there! To ensure that your eye cream doesn't come in contact with your eye we would not suggest applying an eye cream that close you your lash line. The crinkles directly below the lash line are perfectly normal and healthy and help the eye close tightly when blinking or sleeping.
Is it possible to apply eye cream too ~often~? I use the amount of cream shown in the video, but I've been re-applying it throughout the day whenever I feel it running out. Is that excessive? Should I only do it once or twice a day instead?

This is a great question. your skin can only absorb so much so this is a point of over-saturation. However, on the flip side, moisturizers and eye creams do not always last long in their ability to hydrate the skin. Meaning, depending on the formulation, the moisture it gives can evaporate after a few hours. Long story short, if you're using a well-formulated eye cream that uses moisture repairing ingredients (hard to know unless you're familiar with moisture repairing ingredients) then morning and night should be sufficient. Check out my Total Eye Repair Creme as it's long-lasting, yet not greasy which is key for the eye area. (You don't want oils seeping into the eyes.)
I have moisturizer that’s supposed to help w/ wrinkles. Can I apply it under my eyes and will it reduce my wrinkles there?
3 ปีที่แล้ว
Great question! It will help somewhat but not as much as an wrinkle reducing eye cream. The area on the eye is the thinnest skin on the face so its a good idea to use a true eye cream.
Thanks Doctor but what is wrong with rubbing it? I really like how rubbing under my eyes feels soothing but is it bad? Or

@@JICCC hi there! Since our undereyes are a very delicate part of our face, it is important to be as gentle as you can. That’s why we suggest light patting with your lightest finger (ring finger)!
I think just night is better but same question about eyelids.
3 ปีที่แล้ว +5
Excellent question! It depends on personal preference. Some people need eye cream in the morning and evening to maintain moisture there. The eyelids tend to be more oily on their own, so we do not recommend applying eye cream there. Also, putting cream above the eyelid makes it more likely for it to run into your eyes! Hope this helps. 😊
What is the difference between eye cream and eye serum? Can either be used for the same benefit?
3 ปีที่แล้ว +2
Eye creams are meant to seal hydration into the thin skin of the eye area. Eye serums can be layered under eye cream for a thinner layer of more active ingredients. For example, our Overnight Eye Serum is an exfoliating acid serum we suggest using twice a week under an eye cream like Total Eye Repair Creme.
My skin like to be dry and flaky right under the eye brow (brow bone). I was using eye cream their, but I noticed my eyes burn when I do this. Is there another way to moisturize this brow eye area?
I'm also using Virginic eye serum! It's easy, because u got roller at the end of the bottle, so you just need to roll it under your eyes. But softly. I am using it twice a day ;) You can check their page for some tips bit.ly/2Lpv1ed
Renee would you suggest using the Triple Berry Chemical Peel everyday be I just got it and it's says once a month what will happen if I use it everyday will my skin dry out??
7 ปีที่แล้ว +2
Hi Amber, The directions that you received should say 2-3 times a month. Some people use it once a week with good results. It's definitely not suggested to use daily. It will dry you out and damage your protective moisturize barrier and put your skin in a unhealthy state. Our exfoliating serums are a much better option for products that you can use more often. You can see them here www.reneerouleau.com/collections/exfoliants
I put on eye cream every night, everyone says don't go too close to the eye but right under my eye it feels soooo dry after I was my face so I feel like I need eye cream or it will be uncomfortable.
How do you get rid of or care for dark top eye lids? Thats one of mh insecurities and feel.like it makes me.look super tired.... thank you in advance
3 ปีที่แล้ว
The best option is to use lighter-toned eye shadows to conceal discoloration. It isn't a good idea to use eye cream or serums on the lids because it can cause wrinkles and eye irritation.
My daughter just graduated to be a master Esthetician & she had me get Neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair eye cream due to my budget so its what I've been using...but she didnt specify if I should use it morning or at night. I want to make sure I get the best use out of it.

Eye creams can be used both morning and night, or just at night.
@@ImmaQT2 it's recommended to apply your nightly skincare at least 2 hours before bedtime so that the products have time to absorb and not just smear all across your pillow. Eye creams can be worn day and night whenever time is best for you.
Sweet. I got my first tub of eye cream today. On the box it says, "apply to the eye area including under eye. CAUTION; avoid contact with eyes."

That means don't get it directly into your eyes. Be sure to apply it to the orbital bone! If you go further up, it will travel into your eyes. Hope that helps! 💙
You can but the upper eyelid skin is quite oily and can move the cream into your eye causing irritation. If you use it don't get too close to your eye! 💙

same here, it's exactly what I've recently experienced. I too thought I was having a reaction until I saw this video and your comment.

Actually, if you wanna go against gravity, you should go from in to outside with outward motions. That's common sense as well as being the proper way what every other expert recommends.
