Your delicate eye area needs a gentle, effective way to stay hydrated and smooth. Our Firming Eye Cream uses Bakuchiol - a natural and gentle alternative to retinol - to reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles, under-eye circles, and crow's-feet while hydrating and nourishing the skin.

“Beezin',” which gained popularity throughout the 2010s, has made its 2023 comeback on TikTok. Various “beezers” claim that applying Burt's Bees lip balm to their eyelids gets them high, heightens the sensation of being drunk or high, or increases feelings of alertness.

The best calming eye creams will be rich in ingredients that help reduce redness and swelling, as well as promote relaxation.

Although eye balms and eye creams perform similar functions they have their differences. Eye creams are made of a high percentage of water and little amounts of botanicals while eye balms contain concentrated amounts of natural skincare ingredients and little to no amount of water.

Because the area can be so fragile, age-related skin concerns, like fine lines and puffiness, tend to appear here relatively early. As such, we recommend everyone use eye cream morning and night - not only to help keep the area looking its best right now but also to help prevent future damage.

Beezin' is a fad where people apply Burt's Bees lip balm to their eyelids. The menthol or peppermint flavors are supposed to cause a sensation of enhanced alertness.

As such, we recommend everyone use eye cream morning and night - not only to help keep the area looking its best right now but also to help prevent future damage. Of course, even the best eye cream won't do you much good if you're not using it correctly.

4 to 6 weeks Results don't fluctuate daily, and once you've achieved your desired result, you may be able to decrease your application frequency to a maintenance 'dose'. Creams containing these sorts of actives generally take 4 to 6 weeks of regular use to produce noticeable results.
