I bought an eye cream by mistake. What a mistake! My face cream works MUCH better for my whole face. Some ‘extra’ creams r nothing more than a makeup artists’ extra coin.
She recommended in a different video some micro-needle eye patches with hyaluronic acid. As doctors can't add hyaluronic acid injections to the hollowness in the inner corner or eyelid, I've been trying these patches for top and bottom of my eye and so far it has been helping. They are expensive, however over time the hollowness is being reduced. Other people might not notice it, but you will feel the difference.
Oh yeah something I only found out when I went to the ophthalmologist: If you have dandruff, and your eyes are often irritated or you often have something in your eyes - chances are you actually have dandruff in your eyes. It can make the eye look puffy and you might think it's allergy. I would recommend visiting the ophthalmologist or dermatologist as they can recommend medications or cleaning methods and products S2 lol and stay unpuffy out there :p
Thank you Cassandra. I cried for 3 days straight and today my face and my eyes are super swollen. This video is right on time. Made me get up and put an under eye patches on
Cassandra! I love your videos, but you always mention things being or not being eye safe. Can you do a video on how to determine if products are eye safe or not, I don't know what to look for! Thanks
Thank you for taking the time to separate out & explain the differences between under-eye issues, I learned that I have some pigmentation & wrinkles but not puffiness! Also, my tube of Beauty of Joseon ginseng & retinal arrived about a week ago. My skin is loving it so far!
I use my Olay retinol 24+peptide fragrance free all over my under and over eye now. I used to be scared as there is an “eye” version but the face one works absolutely fine for me. I refuse to buy an eye cream ever again…. unless it’s got caffeine in it (for mornings where I need a little refresher when I didn’t get enough sleep). The first time was daunting but so happy that my eyes aren’t too sensitive ❤
Even if your current moisturiser doesn’t have the actives or texture you need for under your eyes, chances are you can get a new face moisturiser that will treat your issues for way better value than an eye cream!!
Those tests were really helpful! I was always a bit confused about dark circles and eye bags, cause people tend to put them in the same category. But now I know I definitely don't have eye bags!
This was so helpful! Thank you so much. I knew from your previous videos that my facial products work just fine for my eye area, but these eye tests help me to focus more on what I could do to reduce the puffiness under my eyes. I love your passion for these topics and your transparency with your own journey. ❤
I've been through crying a lot in a short amount of time and it turns out I have depression. I take an antidepressant now. Taking antidepressants doesn't mean you're weak. You just have a chemical imbalance. My psychiatrist asked if I had a broken leg would I be embarrassed for using a cast? I said no. It doesn't make you a zombie. You will still be you. You'll just be a little less emotional. It's like a boost! You can try it and if you don't like it then you can stop. It's so worth it!
But make sure that you can go, after time went by without the cast.. It's not a lifetime solution because that is not life to me personally if you feel like a zombie everyday and your feelings are off 😕😟
I use an eye cream but that's cos it's fragrance free. The moisturiser I use contains fragrance. However the eye cream is cheap so not so bad and I only use it once a day so it lasts me a while
I love your presentations! Also love your style! Thank you for the education. I casually used the " skintelectual" term wile treating my husband's under-mostach fungal infection and skin irritation . ...he gasped.
Thanks for the video, Cassandra! And I really like the top you're wearing. I quit buying eye cream a long time ago. Maybe 20 or 30 years. I'm a fan of Paula Begoun who created Paula's Choice, and she too says eye creams are unnecessary. I use my regular moisturizer and put a little Aquaphor over it. And I've used mineral sunscreen around my eyes for years, and I wear sunglasses routinely. I'm 61 and don't really have crows feet. However, I do have a slight indentation at the outer corners of my eyes. Possibly I'll have crows feet in 5 or 10 years. And I have some fine lines under my eyes. But really, I can't complain, considering my age.
These are all super helpful tests and I really appreciate you spilling the tea(bags)! I would love to know of something that smoothes skin around the eyes. My under eyes are very bumpy textured (it's not milia) and it makes me self conscious.
Test results: The hyperpigmentation is real, the eye bags are fluid retention, which I hate because I'm fastidious about my water intake. Barely any crows feet, which is cool at my age
I really think that K beauty eye creams are very effective and inexpensive. I find they work better under makeup. Love Pyunkang Yul Black tea eye cream for day and BOJ Retinal .025% for my under eyes and neck at night. It’s like $12-$15 for 1.7 oz.
There are certain actives in my eye creams that I don’t want to use on the rest of my face. Also, I love the luxurious feeling of using some really nice eye creams. I respect your opinion, and I think it’s nice info to put out there for people on a budget who need to know how to prioritize skin care, but I won’t be avoiding eye creams any time soon.
I’m on a tight budget but like to invest in skincare. I buy nothing to myself so skincare is the only thing that I spend on. Eye creams to me feel the safest around my eye. I don’t want to use something that’s irritating. I love using actives & like the reassurance that it’s safe around the eye. So yeah, love my eye creams. I got 3 (1 full size & 2 sample size) from Paula’s choice & I LOVE them. They won’t take the discoloration but they do - do something. I also like the olehentikson banana eye cream for the day time! I use 97% Paula’s choice!
This was a great reminder for me! Years ago I did the pinch test and found that my under eye purpleness went away. I started focusing on putting retinol on my under eyes and while it improved, it didn't go away completely. Today I did it again because your vid reminded me and the purpleness stayed put. So now I'm doing both retinol and the dark spot correcting cream I got for a stubborn bit of color on my upper chest area. Thanks!😊
My under eyes are purple and it's vascular not pigment. I use an eye cream with retinol formulated for that delicate area, and I've found red light therapy helps too by making the collagen there thicker. I don't recommend anyone else do that btw, you're supposed to wear goggles! But it has made a huge difference for me.
I've gotten so many eye creams as samples or included in sets. I reverse what Cassandra is saying and use the eye cream on all of my face wrinkles. Especially those around my lips and nose. I haven't found the holy grail yet.
OMG! You are so brilliant. I took pic with my puffy eye bags sitting and lying down. The degree of puffiness is different! So, I have water retention. I think I have been drinking too much liquid before sleeping!!
Eye doctors are saying Not to use retinoids near the eyes because they can damage the meibomian glands and cause dry eye, which is not a pleasant condition to have anyway, you don’t want to cause it or make it worse. Also, I’ve noticed Cerave has a nice eye cream that has a few things worth it over the regular moisturizer. 1) it’s a lot thicker and stays where you put it. 2) it comes out in tiny little amounts that none gets wasted. You are using precious little. 3) this is my own theory: I am thinking this form of moisturizer can become a bit of a protective barrier to nearby products that might wander to close to the eye. ( I guess it’s theoretically possible that it could do the opposite by creating serum/lotion friendly highway to your eye area, but this has not been my experience). So I put it on first. So even if it’s moisturizer ingredient list is the same as a facial moisturizer, the “vehicle” they put it in is specific to the skin in a very sensitive and important area I feel.
My eyes are always puffy. How do you get your eyelids to go down. I can get my under eyes down but not my eyelids. It doesn’t look good. Great video. It helped a lot. I already do eye massaging but I do need help. Getting my eyelids down would help me greatly. Thank you. May you please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩
When that happens to me I use my caffeine infused eye cream on my upper eyelid but above the crease I'm too worried about getting in my eye if I use it below the crease. That mixed with lymphatic drainage massage really helps minimize it but the biggest thing is drink enough water to balance out your salt intake.
I have purple blue under eyes, and when I pinch it doesn’t go away. But I can see that it’s not pigmentation, so I figure it’s just because my skin is so thin that you can see the deeper blood vessles. Might that be it for you to?
I’m lucky I used to follow Paula Begoun (of Paula’s choice) back in the 90s when she was a critic of the beauty industry and was just starting her brand (before they started making eye creams themselves). I was in my late 20s and starting to care about skincare. I’ve always taken the words eye, or neck, or body as part of the marketing rather than directions for use. Not only can you use face products on your eyes but body products on your face (if the ingredients are a good match) I like to use a different products on my eyes and face because I like different textures but I try to make my choices based on ingredients, texture and price. I always figure out the $ per ounce rather than just look at the sales price. That can be shocking. When I began slowly introducing retinoids around my eyes I used Paula’s choice barrier repair w retinol. It’s a face cream w super low retinol and ceramides and lots of antioxidants. $37/1.7oz or $21/oz is more than I’m willing to pay for a face cream since there are so many good options that are less expensive but I’ll happily pay that for an eye cream that has the ingredients I want and texture I like. It lasted me over a year.
What's the best wrinkle cream with peptides,etc that is eye safe for Sens skin because I've tried a couple of wrinkle creams that gave me an asthma attack to the point I almost fainted. Please answer me back
'get an eye-safe retinoid'...so an eye cream. if all you need is moisturization, then yes, an eye cream is silly. but if you're wanting to put actives (like retinoids, vitamin c, etc) around your eyes, a lot of those serums/creams/etc are NOT eye safe, and so it makes sense to get an eye cream with those actives that is actually safe for usage around the eye. Not all eye creams are over priced moisturizers. also, you can't buffer a retinoid with vaseline. vaseline is probably the most occlusive thing you can possibly put on your face and your retinoid is not getting through it. you can buffer a retinoid with just about anything else, though, including a nice heavy non-petrolatum moisturizer
I think companies would disclose this if that was the case. Have had some serums that do, and they are very few. Now having sensitive skin around the eyes is a completely different thing
I think when they say "eye cream is overpriced moisturizer" they mean generally. For all the other situations you can get by using face products instead of a small bottle with "eye" included in it
@@SwedishTouristThis is true. I've used - and am still using - vitamin C, retinal and tretinoin, all intended for the face, around my eyes with no irritation whatsoever. I did build up tolerance gradually over time but I also have sensitive skin and none of the actives have given me any issues. Eye creams are a ripoff, period.
@@chmicharka Yeah, retinol in a low dose works for me atm. And it's good to know it works for others, too. I've just begun using retinol (only 0,01%) and vitamin C, as well as some other serums. And as long as my SPF 50 is hydrating my eye area, I think I'll keep using it to be fair.
@@kikiTHEalien Thx. I saw that. I was referring more to my arms and hands than my face. I'll be seeing a Dermatologist in a couple of days. Haven't seen one in many years. Other than aging badly...I haven't had a need to see one. Can't afford expensive interventions. Just Topicals with Actives.
I want to know why you cry so much honey, really?!? Ive been watching your channel for so long now and ive learned so so much!! Yes were cysters..lol or systers lol but any way ive had bags since i can remember its herrirtary and thenonly way to get rid is surgery so looks like im stuck with them!!! I do not wear i cream im 46 btw and yes its just moisturiser so.... I hope your not sad and your having a good day week month!!! Thanks for teaching me such great technics and giving great advice!! You go girl!!!
I would love to know what you think about the Pigmentclar Yeux from La Roche Posay! I wanna try it out but don't know if it's gonna work for me (after the pinch test the darkness goes away for a second and then comes back for me).
i've been there with the puffy eyelids due to crying... i used to use cold spoons on my upper eyelids, but my non crying puffiness doesn't seem to be helped by that. is there anything i can do for upper eyelid puffiness?
I hace eczema on and around my eye area (mainly my lids) so I find face moisturiser too heavy and irritating (especially if fragranced) do you have anything you would recommend for that? 😊❤
I feel lucky, maybe because I always wear sunglasses I have no concerns with my eyes, and yet they tolerate everything, including my tretinoin...Hopefully this will help in the future :)
I feel like I have the 4th unspoken eye issue. Since a young age, I’ve had very hollow under eyes bcz the natural fat pads slipped down a bit and rest on the tops of my cheeks under the skin. I hate it. What can I do for this besides surgery?
I'm a tear trough girl. Sigh. Guess I'm just going to have to get really skilled with the highlighting concealer, because I won't be getting tear trough filler.
The micro-needle eye patches she recommended in another video helped me with this issue. You will need some uses to notice a difference, but I can confirm it works 😊
You didnt mention how to treat/heal/cure puffy eyes due to fat deposits, typical treatments for puffy eyes due to water retentio such as cucumbers, under eye masks, ice cubes do not work!
so helpful! thank you! so my skin seems to be thin which is what i suspected. originally went for retinol for wrinkles but happy to know it can help with my purpleness too. let’s see how it goes. it doesn’t bother me, but why not try.
Cassandra, are those your natural lashes or are some artificial? I am still trying to figure out how to use Falsecara or fake eyelashes. My lashes are sparse and short. I am older, so they are aged. Yours always look fresh. I've seen women who have fake lashes put on...but they don't look as natural as yours. I don't mean to pry. I just wish mine looked like yours.
@@haleyrsm That is what I suspected. Thanks for the clarification. I have a Physicians Asst. I see from time to time...and she has those long, think curled up fake lash extensions. They get crunchier over time. Gross. I don't think I could handle fake lash extensions. I am gonna try Falscara though. Got issues with getting lash off card. Always difficult to get it off without it getting twisted and messed up. Still trying to figure that product out.
What about an eye cream from K-Beauty? It is called Marine Care Eye Cream. Contains Marine Collagen, Adenosine and Peptides. The texture is different. Occlusive is what they call it. It is very thick. I have hollows under my 62 yr old eyes. Not fat pads. I also have a K-Beauty Retinol specific for the undereye. I use it before bedtime. I know you have said eye creams do little to nothing. But...if they contain Peptides, Collagen and/or actives like Retinol...do you consider them more EFFECTIVE? I trust Cassandra's opinions. I got Juvaderm filler in the undereye Once. Did nothing. Changed nothing. Got HA Fillers in my mid face at the same visit. Also...did nothing and changed nothing. those are no longer on my TO-DO List...EVER. That "NOTHING"...cost 1300-1400 dollars.
Heimish marine eye cream its thick clay like green. I personally dont do well with thick products so ive been using the sample i got on my inner thigh chafing since its so thick cream and such dry irritated skin and so far its working great.
@@PhoenixFlowerEmma Yep. That's the one. It is heavy...but I think my hollows like it. I like the clay consistency. Very little needed and does take a bit more PATTING to spread it around. I really like it. I bought a Retinol for Eye and still waiting to see if it helps or hurts my crows feet and undereye hollows. I use the Marine Eye Cream in AM. Retinol is for bedtime. Kind of seems like it is causing a slight wrinkle, so watching that closely.
Because you usually document the good with the bad as well for thorough reviewing. Even when it has effects that visibly upset you, that shows more empathy and honesty hence why I go to this woman warrior for skin tips!
Is it just me or lately, half the videos posted on this channel are about her crying all the time? I thought this channel was about education, not failing mental health and dirty jokes. Not everybody needs to know your dirty laundry, get it together girl. This is your reputation as a creator and a medical esthetician.
Or maybe have some empathy and not criticize someone who is going through something tough and just scroll by or unfollow quietly if you don’t like it? 🤷🏻♀️
Does the pigmentation 4:18 count for freckles too like I need to use the Bubble Daydream serum everyday to keep me from getting new freckles??? Along with my sunscreen of course 🤍🤍🤍

Yes were cysters..lol or systers lol but any way ive had bags since i can remember its herrirtary and thenonly way to get rid is surgery so looks like im stuck with them!!! I do not wear i cream im 46 btw and yes its just moisturiser so.... I hope your not sad and your having a good day week month!!! Thanks for teaching me such great technics and giving great advice!! You go girl!!!
Thank u ❤
Thete are also some eady face yoga massage techniques for gwttung rid if thise early morning puffy eyes.
Do you have any pointers for crapey, hooded aging eyes, I am 59yrs old & have that ptoblem
Dear my eyes puffy so what i do any cream
Hy does boj ginseng eye cream can use for dark circles? Does really gonna help that? Say something about may and mary eye cream
This may be a dumb question - if I have a face serum with vitamin c, can it be used under the eyes? Or it specifically needs to be a moisturizer?
I would love to know what you think about the Pigmentclar Yeux from La Roche Posay! I wanna try it out but don't know if it's gonna work for me (after the pinch test the darkness goes away for a second and then comes back for me).
i've been there with the puffy eyelids due to crying... i used to use cold spoons on my upper eyelids, but my non crying puffiness doesn't seem to be helped by that. is there anything i can do for upper eyelid puffiness?
I hace eczema on and around my eye area (mainly my lids) so I find face moisturiser too heavy and irritating (especially if fragranced) do you have anything you would recommend for that? 😊❤
My eyes get sooooo swollen after crying - for a full day! The upper eyelids especially. And on top of that I get a tension headache. Ugh
Could you recommend a retinoid alternative that thickens skin? I have thin skin and tried the BOJ retinal eye cream but it irritates my eyes.
I feel lucky, maybe because I always wear sunglasses I have no concerns with my eyes, and yet they tolerate everything, including my tretinoin...Hopefully this will help in the future :)
I feel like I have the 4th unspoken eye issue. Since a young age, I’ve had very hollow under eyes bcz the natural fat pads slipped down a bit and rest on the tops of my cheeks under the skin. I hate it. What can I do for this besides surgery?
What's goodie 🦋🦋🦋🌹
I'm a tear trough girl. Sigh. Guess I'm just going to have to get really skilled with the highlighting concealer, because I won't be getting tear trough filler.
The micro-needle eye patches she recommended in another video helped me with this issue. You will need some uses to notice a difference, but I can confirm it works 😊
crying is actually a good thing contrary to popular belief (similar to laughter) - it is a release! Let it out...
You didnt mention how to treat/heal/cure puffy eyes due to fat deposits, typical treatments for puffy eyes due to water retentio such as cucumbers, under eye masks, ice cubes do not work!
Qrx lap caffeine work and also zain obagi eye factor serum work good night cassette
so helpful! thank you! so my skin seems to be thin which is what i suspected. originally went for retinol for wrinkles but happy to know it can help with my purpleness too. let’s see how it goes. it doesn’t bother me, but why not try.
Clarins Total Eye Lift is the Best!
Cassandra, are those your natural lashes or are some artificial? I am still trying to figure out how to use Falsecara or fake eyelashes. My lashes are sparse and short. I am older, so they are aged. Yours always look fresh. I've seen women who have fake lashes put on...but they don't look as natural as yours. I don't mean to pry. I just wish mine looked like yours.
Cass has semi-permanent eyelashes, she's talked about it quite often 😊
She’s gotten lash extensions they’re like 150$ and will last a long time you just have to get them filled every now and then and keep them clean
@@haleyrsm That is what I suspected. Thanks for the clarification. I have a Physicians Asst. I see from time to time...and she has those long, think curled up fake lash extensions. They get crunchier over time. Gross. I don't think I could handle fake lash extensions. I am gonna try Falscara though. Got issues with getting lash off card. Always difficult to get it off without it getting twisted and messed up. Still trying to figure that product out.
@@cheekyb71 I suspected as much. I gotta say they look very natural. I guess I missed those videos
I love you too
I have brownish under eye circles. I have heard that it's genetic and there is no helping it.
Did you try the pinching test?
turns out i have dark pigmentation, no bags, and thus far i have 11's that seem to be more from dehydration!
😂😂😂😂 ‘that’s where they live’
I find that eye creams always make my eyes more puffy and i stopped using them
I hate my eyebags they are horrible 😫 and people mentioned it everyday like i don't have a mirror and know 😔
What about an eye cream from K-Beauty? It is called Marine Care Eye Cream. Contains Marine Collagen, Adenosine and Peptides. The texture is different. Occlusive is what they call it. It is very thick. I have hollows under my 62 yr old eyes. Not fat pads. I also have a K-Beauty Retinol specific for the undereye. I use it before bedtime. I know you have said eye creams do little to nothing. But...if they contain Peptides, Collagen and/or actives like Retinol...do you consider them more EFFECTIVE? I trust Cassandra's opinions.
I got Juvaderm filler in the undereye Once. Did nothing. Changed nothing. Got HA Fillers in my mid face at the same visit. Also...did nothing and changed nothing. those are no longer on my TO-DO List...EVER. That "NOTHING"...cost 1300-1400 dollars.
Heimish marine eye cream its thick clay like green. I personally dont do well with thick products so ive been using the sample i got on my inner thigh chafing since its so thick cream and such dry irritated skin and so far its working great.
@@PhoenixFlowerEmma Yep. That's the one. It is heavy...but I think my hollows like it. I like the clay consistency. Very little needed and does take a bit more PATTING to spread it around. I really like it. I bought a Retinol for Eye and still waiting to see if it helps or hurts my crows feet and undereye hollows. I use the Marine Eye Cream in AM. Retinol is for bedtime. Kind of seems like it is causing a slight wrinkle, so watching that closely.
1:10 into this .... WTF ?
NEVER PULL your EYES bAGS EVER OMG NEVER TOUCH THEM unless you WANT TO AGE RAPIDLY 😂I can’t believe your telling girls to PINCH andbPULL them WTF 😂
this is crazy. way tooooo much jumbo
eye creams are a waste of money end of story
I mean cassandra hhhhhhh Canadian and Arabic only sorry
Your really talking way to much. Come to point
Why are you recording yourself crying
Because you usually document the good with the bad as well for thorough reviewing. Even when it has effects that visibly upset you, that shows more empathy and honesty hence why I go to this woman warrior for skin tips!
Is it just me or lately, half the videos posted on this channel are about her crying all the time? I thought this channel was about education, not failing mental health and dirty jokes. Not everybody needs to know your dirty laundry, get it together girl. This is your reputation as a creator and a medical esthetician.
Or maybe have some empathy and not criticize someone who is going through something tough and just scroll by or unfollow quietly if you don’t like it? 🤷🏻♀️
Does the pigmentation 4:18 count for freckles too like I need to use the Bubble Daydream serum everyday to keep me from getting new freckles??? Along with my sunscreen of course 🤍🤍🤍
