There are a number of reasons why so many of the latest genre of anti aging skin care products to recently come available target the area around the eyes. To begin with, the eyes are what people tend to look at first when they meet you and talk to you, because people look into each others eyes when they communicate.

Secondly, the skin around the eyes is the very thin facial skin and tends to show signs of aging first. If you stop and thing about it, if you had one place that you could look at on a persons face to judge their age would it be their forehead, cheeks or lips? Of course not, because it would be their eyes. The thin skin around the eyes tends to develop thin shallow linear wrinkles that are most commonly referred to as “crows feet".

A lot of research has gone into these fine wrinkle and the actual biological dynamics regarding their formation and some conclusions have been arrived at. What was found is that it is the thinning of a thin area of skin called the dermal epidermal junction that is located between the two top layers of skin that is primarily responsible for the formation of crows feet around the eyes.

Clinical tests have determined that Strivectin SD eye cream will actually thicken this substrate area of skin and result in shorter and shallower crows feet wrinkles around the eyes. Another eye product that has rated well in clinical testing is Kinerase eye cream that was developed as a result of research in the cause and formation of dark circles under the eyes.

The makers of Kinerase eye cream credit its effectivness to a substance called kinetin that functions by stimulating the skins natural function for ridding itself of accumulated pigmentation. Its this innate biological function that your skin employs to cause a tan to fade away.
