Eye cream, eye serum or eye patches: which care is right for you?

Cream, serum and patches at a glance

Which eye care format fits into your everyday life?

Format Feeling of care Appropriate moment
Eye cream Creamy and smooth Daily care for one supple eye area
Eye serum Easy and finely spreadable A slim care step or targeted active ingredient care
Eye patches Essence on one moist hydrogel An additional care break with subsequent removal

A serum can also contain rich ingredients, a cream can easily fail. The following examples show you the specific feeling of care and its place in everyday life.

Eye cream: creamy care for every day

A cream is right for you if you like to feel a soft, supple layer around your eyes. You gently spread a small amount onto the intended eye area. Two options:

Mary&May: light cream for a more even-looking look

The Mary&May Tranexamic Acid + Glutathione Eye Cream combines a light, creamy texture with care for a more even-looking skin tone. It suits you if you want to cosmetically accompany dark shadows and at the same time enjoy the soft feeling of an eye cream.

Centellian24: supple cream with retinol care

The Centellian24 360º Shot PDRN Lifting Eye Cream lies on the skin with an elastic, slightly adhesive texture. It is aimed at smoother, firmer-looking skin. Your retinol care will begin gently in the evening; The information on vitamin A below also applies to this cream.

Eye serum: an easy step for your eye area

A serum is pleasant if you prefer a finely spreadable texture. Some serums focus on moisture, others supplement vitamin A care. Two different examples:

AXIS-Y: Moisture with a cooling applicator

The AXIS-Y Vegan Collagen Eye Serum fits your desire for light moisturization. The metal applicator accompanies distribution with cooling skin contact. Hyaluronic treatment complements the supple feeling – a suitable little moment before your morning care.

Beauty of Joseon: light serum with retinal

The Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum Ginseng + Retinal combines a light texture with vitamin A care for fine lines. You gently pat in a small amount. An evening with your trusted companion is a good way to get to know each other; the frequency increases gradually depending on tolerability and product instructions.

Eye patches: an additional break in care

Patches remain on the skin for a limited time and are then removed. Meanwhile, the moist hydrogel releases essence. Two formats for different moments:

Biodance: Hydrogel patches from a can

The Biodance Collagen Peptide Eye Patches are suitable for you if you want to take a cooling care break more often. You remove the patches with the spatula and place them under your eyes. Biodance says 20 to 30 minutes exposure time. Then you take it off and tap in the remaining essence.

Centellian24: a single pair to get to know

You get the Centellian24 360º Shot PDRN Glowing Eye Patches as a single pair. The format is practical for an occasional grooming moment or for getting to know each other. The hydrogel patches contain retinol; When making your selection, the following vitamin A information also applies. The exposure time depends on the package instructions.

Suitable products for your care step

How eye care fits into your routine

After cleansing and optional toner, your chosen eye care step follows. A cream or serum is sufficient as a daily starting point. You use patches for additional care according to their instructions. This is followed by the rest of the facial care and sun protection in the morning.

Around the eyes: Avoid direct eye contact and the inner edge of the eyelid. First test new care on a small area. Discontinue if burning, swelling, or persistent irritation occurs; If any symptoms persist, seek medical advice. The Centellian24 cream presented here, its PDRN patches and the Beauty of Joseon serum contain retinoids: avoid during pregnancy and if you want to have children, check breastfeeding with a doctor. Introduce a new retinoid product at the beginning. Sun protection is essential during the day.

If you would like to get to know the active ingredients in more detail

Moisture binding agents such as hyaluronic acid support a supple skin feeling. Retinol and retinal belong to the vitamin A family and complement the care of fine lines. PDRN refers to DNA building blocks in cosmetic formulations. The format name alone therefore says little about the strength of the active ingredient; A serum with retinal needs a slow start just like a corresponding cream.

The differences are explained in the retinol/retinal guide. For your daily moments, the selection remains clear: a texture that you like to apply and a gentle pat in front of the mirror.
