Don't think you have sensitive skin? We beg to differ. Even if most of your complexion is impervious to irritants, the skin around your eyes is another story. More delicate than just about any other area, it may need to be treated with more compassion than you and your eye product currently offer it.

It would be wise to switch to a formula that shows mercy to the under-eye area yet shows none to signs of aging. What we have in mind is the new Calmitude Delicate Skin Eye Gel from Bioelements, which contains the ingredients you'd expect to see in less sympathetic serum. However, Bioelements has managed to make them work in a much more soothing way.

A great deal of the potency is provided by peptides from soy and rice protein. They improve the microcirculation that influences dark circles, decrease inflammation to lessen consequent puffiness, and firm skin by inhibiting the MMP enzymes that chip away at collagen.

Among the other components are antioxidant extracts of green and white tea, moisture-gripping hyaluronic acid, calming aloe, and licorice, which is known to booth soothe and brighten.

Despite how smoothly this cream-gel glides on, it's not greasy, thanks in part to being oil-free — good for both sensitive and breakout-prone skin. Your skin is left smooth, too, seeming far less crinkly and liny with each application.
