The one question that you men always ask me is about eye cream. You know you should be using one, you just don't know where to start. Let me answer this question once and for all.
As a fellow dude, I personally could care less whether or not a product has been formulated "for men." It's all marketing anyway, don't be fooled. But, I will say that I keep going back to this Kiehl's Facial Fuel men's product time and time again, simply because it really is one of the best.
The formula is made with vitamin C, which brightens and helps reduce signs of aging that are always most apparent around your eyes. Linseed extract, which comes from the flax flower, is packed full of fatty acids, B vitamins, protein, and zinc to increase skin's firmness and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Caffeine stimulates blood flow around they eye, which both takes down puffiness and diminishes dark circles.
I love this eye cream because you can really feel it working. From the first application, the skin under your eyes will feel energized. That's the caffeine working to juice up your fatigued areas and make you look immediately more awake, while diminishing signs of aging over time.
In case your mother didn't teach you, this is how you apply eye cream: using your ring finger, scoop a very small amount from the jar (you really don't need a lot). Gently pat it — don't rub — under your eye from the outer corner (near your ear) in toward your tear duct and back out again. Using your ring finger is preferable because it puts the least amount of pressure on the sensitive skin under your eye.
