How to Apply Eye Care Correctly
Gentle care for the delicate eye area
The skin around your eyes is particularly delicate and may be more sensitive than other areas of your face. Choosing the right product matters, but so do the amount you use and the gentleness of your application.
A delicate area
Why the Eye Area Needs Special Care
The skin around the eyes is especially fine and sensitive. It benefits from skincare that provides moisture, feels comfortable and can be applied without vigorous rubbing or pulling.
Especially delicate skin
The eye area is more sensitive than many other parts of the face. Dryness and fine lines may therefore become noticeable here sooner.
Moisture matters
Suitable eye care provides targeted hydration and helps the skin look smooth and well cared for.
A gentle touch
Even a carefully chosen product should not be rubbed in vigorously. A small amount is enough: smooth or gently pat it on without pulling at the delicate skin.
Step by step
How to Apply Eye Cream and Eye Serum
When caring for the delicate eye area, a small amount and a gentle touch are all you need. Here is how to include an eye cream or serum in your daily skincare routine.
1
Cleanse your skin thoroughly
Remove make-up and any remaining residue. The eye area should be clean and dry before you apply your skincare.
2
Use only a small amount
A very small amount is generally sufficient for both eyes. Using more does not necessarily provide better care and may feel uncomfortable around the eyes.
3
Smooth on or pat in gently
Use your fingertips to apply the product carefully around the eye area. Avoid rubbing firmly or pulling at the skin.
4
Allow time to absorb
Give the eye product a moment to absorb. You can then continue with your facial skincare or apply your make-up in the morning.
Finding the right time
Should You Use Eye Care in the Morning or Evening?
Many eye products are suitable for both morning and evening use. The texture that feels most comfortable depends on your skin and the way you organise your skincare routine.
Morning
Lightweight care before make-up
Light creams, gels and serums can feel particularly comfortable in the morning. Apply a small amount and let it absorb briefly before using concealer or other eye make-up.
Evening
Care after thorough cleansing
Apply your eye product to cleansed skin in the evening. If your eye area feels dry or needs additional comfort, you may prefer a richer texture.
Important:
The exact time matters less than regular, gentle application. Always follow the instructions for the individual product.
Avoid common mistakes
Six Eye Care Mistakes to Avoid
The eye area benefits from gentle, considered care. A few small mistakes can put unnecessary strain on delicate skin or make products feel uncomfortable.
Using too much product
A small amount is usually sufficient. Too much eye cream may feel heavy on the skin or interfere with the finish of your make-up.
Rubbing or pulling too firmly
The skin around your eyes is very fine. Apply products carefully with your fingertips and avoid vigorous rubbing or stretching.
Applying products too close to the eye
Eye products belong on the skin around your eyes, not in the eyes themselves. Always follow the instructions for the specific product.
Skipping cleansing before application
Remove make-up and other residue before using eye care. Creams and serums are easier and more comfortable to apply evenly to clean skin.
Choosing the wrong texture
Very rich skincare does not suit every eye area. Choose a texture according to how dry your skin feels and how much care it needs.
Applying make-up too soon
In the morning, let your eye product absorb briefly before applying concealer or other eye make-up. This helps the products work comfortably together.
Choosing the right eye care
Which Eye Care Suits Your Skin's Needs?
Not every eye area needs the same type of care. What matters is how your skin feels and which texture you find comfortable.
Light and fresh
For a dehydrated or tired-looking eye area
Light eye creams, gel textures or serums can be a good option if you want hydration without a rich feeling around the eyes.
Especially comfortable in the morning or beneath make-up.
Balanced care
For everyday eye care
A classic eye cream combines hydration with nourishing care and can be easily incorporated into your morning and evening routine.
A good choice if you want versatile skincare for every day.
Richer care
For dry skin or greater skincare needs
If your eye area feels dry or you want additional comfort, a richer eye cream may be a better match.
Worth considering when your skin needs more intensive care.

Frequently asked questions
Eye Care FAQ – Your Questions Answered
Clear answers to common questions about applying eye cream and eye serum.
How much eye cream should I use?
A small amount is usually enough. Applying more does not automatically mean better care and may feel uncomfortable around the eyes.
How should I apply eye cream?
Put a small amount on your fingertip and apply it carefully around the eye area. Gentle patting is more comfortable than vigorous rubbing or pulling.
How close to the eye can I apply eye care?
Apply the product to the skin around the eye, not directly into the eye or onto the mucous membrane. Always follow the instructions for the individual product.
Should I use eye care in the morning and evening?
Many eye products can be used in both the morning and evening. Your skincare needs and the individual product instructions are what matter. Lightweight textures can feel particularly comfortable in the morning, while richer care may suit the evening.
Should eye care go on before or after face cream?
It is usually best to apply eye care to cleansed skin before your facial moisturiser. This allows you to apply it precisely to the eye area.
Can I use eye cream under make-up?
Yes. Apply a small amount in the morning and give it a moment to absorb before using concealer or other eye make-up.
Eye cream or eye serum – which is better?
That depends on your skincare needs and the texture you prefer. A serum is usually lighter, while an eye cream may offer a more nourishing feel. Choose whichever feels comfortable on your skin.
