Eye Creams and Gels for Blepharoplasty

In recent years, eye creams are appearing with more additive which can do little more that just a mere moisturizer. These creams are called cosmeceuticals that haze the difference between drugs and cosmetics. For example:

Antioxidants are widely advertised for the aid in protection from sun damage, retrain inflammation and endorse healing. These antioxidants are Vitamin C, Vitamin E, lipoic acid and co-enzyme Q. These antioxidants are helpful in case of blepharoplasty. There are modest or no justification for these antioxidants which remain completely unconfirmed in real-life clinical situations for blepharoplasty. This is similar to what happening inside a biochemist’s test tube. Such designed antioxidants should be used with the opinion of expert blepharoplasty surgeon or respected research dermatologist. Under a controlled observation, it is found that vitamin E actually worsened the appearance of scars after blepharoplasty in over 90% of patients.

Alpha-hydroxy acids are said to help for wrinkles by thickening dermis and epidermis with new collagen. These alpha-hydroxy acids are also known as "fruit acids" and glycolic acid. Alpha-hydroxy acids are also used to improve skin luster by retreating the irregular build-up of keratin.
