Do You Really Need an Eye Cream?

written by: Holly - Marketing Coordinatorpublished on 9 Sep, 2025

Do You Really Need an Eye Cream?

When it comes to skincare, one question always comes up: Do you really need eye creams? The answer is simple: yes.

The delicate skin around your eyes is one of the first places to show signs of ageing. It is thinner, and more prone to sensitivity, dehydration and puffiness, making it more vulnerable than the rest of your face. Without oil glands to naturally hydrate, this area benefits enormously from a targeted eye treatment.

If you have been searching for the best natural eye cream or wondering which Dr. Hauschka eye cream is right for you, this guide has you covered.

Why Eye Creams Are Essential

  • Thin and fragile skin ages faster than other areas of the face
  • More sensitive and prone to irritation than the rest of the face
  • Blinking, squinting, and smiling contribute to fine lines
  • Puffiness and dark circles often caused by fluid retention, poor circulation or lack of sleep
  • No oil glands means more dryness and susceptibility to wrinkles

Pro tip: Schedule regular eye checks to prevent squinting, and always wear sunglasses for UV protection.
