Eye creams are designed especially to protect the thinnest and most sensitive skin on our faces. Why does this area need a special cream? Because in addition to being different than the rest of our skin, the skin around our eyes is also usually where the first signs of aging show up.
Why Use an Eye Cream?
The skin around our eyes is around ten times thinner than the skin on the rest of your face. This means that our eye skin gets less of the benefits of our natural oils. Eye creams are formulated to care for this. In the care of Korean eye creams, they usually feature ingredients like Niacinamide, Peptides, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid.

Let's take a look at the best-selling Korean eye creams.
The number one selling eye cream on STYLE STORY is this anti-aging formula from APLB. Not only does it visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles, it also improves elasticity.

How to Apply a Korean Eye Cream
To get the best results from your Kbeauty eye cream, lightly tap and massage the eye cream into your skin, making sure to give it enough time to fully absorb.
Although it’s tempting, don’t use too much cream each application. If you over-do it, you may end up with millia. These are unsightly little white dots caused by clogged pores from too much product.
