WHY USE EYE CREAMS OR SERUMS?
Eye cream and serum formulations target the unique and fragile skin around the eye. This skin is different from the rest of the skin on the face as it's loosely attached to the muscles around the eye, and has less fatty tissue and minimal sebaceous glands. Because of this, you may notice signs of living and laughing around the eyes before anywhere else on the face.
Eye creams and oils consider the unique characteristics of this delicate skin and incorporate ingredients in ratios that are both safe and more effective than general face creams and serums.

WORKING INTO YOUR ROUTINE:
Eye cremes and serums can be applied both day and night to keep the skin around the eyes fresh and well-hydrated. As some eye cremes can be rich and heavy, you may prefer incorporating them into your evening routine or using a smaller amount in the morning.
Always apply eye product with the gentlest pressure, being sure not to drag the delicate skin.
Stop by one of our Toronto shops to try out our selection of eye cremes and serums to find a product that best suits your skin and meets your skincare goals.
HH TIPS:
Use F. Miller's Eye Oil as a nail and cuticle treatment to nourish dry nails and encourage healthy growth.
Use your eye creams and serums around your lips at night. Like the skin around the eyes, the skin here is also more thin and delicate. Your lips will love a regular dose of targeted hydration.
