Essential Products for Your Custom Emulsion

START WITH A BASE EYE CREAM

Choose either P.M. EYELID BUTTER or EYE EYE F EYE BALM depending on what your eyelid skin needs. All you need is a very small amount. Some trial and error on the 'small amount' but I tell my patients 'a fingernail thick amount.'

• • For DRY EYELID SKIN including eyelid skin has a history of or susceptible to a damaged barrier, incorporate P.M. EYELID BUTTER. This formulation is specifically designed to add rich moisture in the form of ceramides, fatty acids and triglycerides - and you can find more information here.
  • For MATURE EYELID SKIN, where the dryness is more or less from age and hormonal changes such as menopause / peri-menopause (not damaged eyelid skin barrier) – blend in EYE EYE F EYE BALM to support skin repair and intense moisture ingredients. Learn more about this product here.

NOW ADD A.M. EYELID GEL

Visually match and add A.M. EYELID GEL in a 50:50 ratio to build your customized eye cream emulsion. Blend on clean hands or fingers. Blend until fully incorporated when the color change of the blend becomes smooth & consistent and not spotty. A.M. EYELID GEL eye cream features the RETINOL ALTERNATIVE Moth Bean Extract, which has been shown to provide gentle yet effective retinol-like benefits. You can view the product details here.

Do's and Do Not's for a Successful Custom Emulsion

• Do Not Pre-Blend. Avoid pre-blending the eye creams. Our A.M. EYELID GEL has a preservative system that is crucial to maintaining the product's integrity. Mixing products before application can compromise this system, reducing the efficacy of your treatment.
• Do Sequence. Always apply your custom emulsion as the very last step in your skincare routine after cleansing. For better results, consider double cleansing your eye makeup off; a healthy eyelid skin barrier creates a more resilient base for eye cream actives like Moth Bean Extract to perform its magic.
• Do Tailor Your Ratio. Pay attention to your eyelid skin's needs on any given day. Some days your eyelid skin is more dry and may require more P.M. Eyelid Butter or Eye Eye F Eye Balm. Other days, you might need a higher ratio of A.M. EYELID GEL to boost the RETINOL ALTERNATIVE benefits. If your eyelid skin barrier is robust, using AM EYELID GEL on its own can also provide additional benefits.
• Don't Tug. Don't Pull. Apply your eye creams in gentle, patting motions. Whether you use your fingers or Focused Eye Roll for a smooth, even application, the key is to treat the area with care. This approach ensures that the product is absorbed without disrupting the delicate skin barrier.
• Don't Rush Results. Do not expect immediate results. Eyelid skin typically takes around 28 days to recycle, so consistency in your routine is essential. Over time, you will notice improvements as the customized emulsion works to restore and rejuvenate YOUR specific eyelid skin.

How RETINOL ALTERNATIVE Enhances Your Eye Cream Emulsion

The RETINOL ALTERNATIVE used in A.M. EYELID GEL is a standout ingredient that mimics the effects of traditional retinol without the associated irritation especially if you have dry eyes. Best of all you can apply A.M. EYELID GEL any time of day and not worry about sun exposure (although you should always wear SPF and sunglasses outdoors). 

Putting It All Together

Start with a clean face and ensure the eye area is dry. Apply your chosen products separately, then mix them on the back of your hand or fingertips just before application. Tailor the blend based on your daily eyelid skin needs and always finish with your custom emulsion right after cleansing. This method not only enhances the benefits of the RETINOL ALTERNATIVE but also reinforces your eyelid skin barrier health for long-term improvement.

By creating a customized emulsion, you take control of your eye care regimen. It’s a process that requires attention and adaptation, but with the right products and techniques, you can achieve a balanced, effective routine that addresses FINE LINES & WRINKLES when you also have DRY EYELID SKIN and/or MATURE EYELID SKIN.
