Abstract

Introduction

The area around the eye shows the first signs of fatigue and aging. The use of suitable topical treatments can help manage the periorbital area. In this study, the efficacy of a multicomponent cream in improving the aesthetics around the eye area was examined in 8 weeks.

Methods

The study was a non-comparative, single-blind trial conducted on 50 Indian volunteers with skin types III and IV for 56 days. The safety and cosmetic acceptability of the eye cream were determined by self-evaluation. The ability of the product to improve skin hydration and elasticity was determined by instrumental analysis and aesthetic features by dermatologist evaluation.

Results

In an 8-week assessment, the use of the eye cream twice daily resulted in improved skin hydration by 55.82% compared to baseline. A significant reduction in the appearance of dark circles under the eye, puffiness, wrinkles, and fine lines was reported.

Conclusion

While the skin around the eyes shows early signs of aging, regular use of cosmetic creams with active components, such as peptides and niacinamide, can lead to significant improvement in overall aesthetic appearance.
