Ob Koreanische Kosmetik, Drogerie-Artikel oder Apothekenprodukt. Ich habe eine bunte Auswahl an Produkten für die Anti-Aging Augenpflege getestet ...
No matter if Korean cosmetic, drugstore product or from the pharmacy. I tested a variety of products for anti-age eye care and want to share my experiences....
The skin around the eyes is especially thin and sensitive. Therefore it deserves our special attention. Even if I don`t use lotion, serum or else some days, at least in the evening after removing make-up and taking a shower I treat the eye area with some care.
Tested
M.Asam Vitamin C bright Augencreme
100 ml about 75 €
Effective ingredients among others: Vitamin C, Caffeine, Hyaluronic acid, Pineapple and Gold as antioxidant.
Light cream texture, that is absorbed fast. Unfortunately it tended to pilling.
(I didn`t use other products or make up).
My skin around the eyes didn`t feel dry but well nourished for about 5 hours.
It reduced small creases, unfortunately not more.
Here is the full ingredients list:
AQUA (WATER), GLYCERIN, SQUALANE, PRUNUS ARMENIACA (APRICOT) KERNEL OIL, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA) BUTTER, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, CETEARYL GLUCOSIDE, GLYCERYL STEARATE, SODIUM STEAROYL GLUTAMATE, ASCORBIC ACID, GOLD, ALBIZIA JULIBRISSIN BARK EXTRACT, MAGNOLIA OFFICINALIS BARK EXTRACT, ANANAS SATIVUS (PINEAPPLE) FRUIT EXTRACT, ACACIA DECURRENS/ JOJOBA/SUNFLOWER SEED WAX/POLYGLYCERYL- 3 ESTERS, SODIUM HYALURONATE, CAFFEINE, DARUTOSIDE, GLUTATHIONE, TOCOPHEROL, CAPRYLHYDROXAMIC ACID, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, XANTHAN GUM, SODIUM GLUCONATE, SORBITOL, PROPANEDIOL, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, CITRIC ACID, SODIUM BENZOATE
100 ml about 100 €
Effective ingredients among others: Galactomyces Ferment Filtrat, Bifida Ferment Lysate, Allantoin, Adenosin, Ceramides.
Rich texture. It nourishes the skin quite well, the skin stays fresh for a couple hours. Apart from that I didn`t notice a big effect. Those who prefer lighter textures should pick a different product.
The fermented ingredients aren`t as well researched yet as for example vitamin c. There are articles though that report about good effects.

100 ml about 135 €
Effective ingredients among others: Jojoba oil, Vitamin C + E, Allantoin, Green Tea.
The eye cream is absorbed very quickly and moisturizes the eye area well over a couple hours. The texture is very light. Great combination of ingredients: Vitamin C, E with Green Tea can complement one another and enhance the effect. Allantoin contributes to cell renewal. Fine lines are definitely improved. My personal favorite at the moment!

100 ml about 90 €
Effective ingredients among others: Snail secretion filtrate, Niacinamides, Peptides, Allantoin, Vitamines
Very light texture, the lightest one in this comparison. It is absorbed quickly and moisturizes over several hours. After a couple of weeks I could clearly see an improvement of my skin. Small wrinkles as well as the texture had improved. Love it!
Here is the full ingredients list:
Aqua (Water), Snail Secretion Filtrate, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Niacinamide, Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil, Cetearyl Olivate, Glyceryl Stearate, Sorbitan Olivate, Squalane, Octyldodecyl Myristate, Betula Alba Juice, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Seed Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Copper Tripeptide-1, Adenosine, Cetearyl Alcohol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Synthetic Beeswax, Palmitic Acid, Polyisobutene, Stearic Acid, Sorbitan Isostearate, Dimethicone, Polyacrylate-13, PEG-100 Stearate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Polysorbate 20, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol
100 ml about 180 €
Effective ingredients among others: Caffeine, Hyaluronic acid, Retinol, Retinolpalmitate, Adenosine.
I have a rather thin skin and was still starting with retinol. My skin got used to the product pretty quickly. The texture is soft and feels really good. After a short time I could already see a positive effect to texture and small wrinkles were reduced. I can definitely recommend it as a product to start with retinol. In the meantime my skin even tolerates the regular retinol Redermic R of LRP around the eye area.
