Eye cream for wrinkles:
Which ingredients should we look for in an eye contour cream?
They say the eyes are the window to the soul, but the truth is that the skin around them is the first to reveal our age.
For many years, our customers have wanted us to create an eye cream, inspired by Bulgarian herbs and nature. We carried out countless studies, and our cream is now a reality, but during the development of the product, we discovered some useful information which we'd now like to share with you.
Together, we'll look at why the eye area is so temperamental, and how to build a care routine that really works.
1. Why does the eye area age 10 years faster?
Facial anatomy is unforgiving. The skin around the eyes is up to 10 times thinner than that of the cheeks or forehead. It has almost no sebaceous glands, which means it has no natural “protective shield” against dryness.
Add to this the fact that we blink more than 10,000 times a day, and that this is the area with the most active facial movement. The result? The collagen fibres stretch and break down much faster. After the age of 20, our natural collagen production drops by around 1% every year, which makes fine lines almost inevitable by 30 unless we act in time.
2. Small mistakes with a big effect: What's damaging the eye area?
Before we move on to skincare, it's worth noting the everyday habits that “steal” youthfulness from our eyes:
- Rough make-up removal: Aggressive rubbing with a cotton pad stretches the delicate skin and damages the capillaries.
- Not wearing sunglasses: The sun is collagen's number one enemy, and constant squinting creates deep mechanical wrinkles.
- Blue light: Phone and laptop screens emit light that penetrates deeper than UV rays and triggers oxidative stress.
3. What to look for in the formula of a good eye cream
When choosing an effective eye cream for wrinkles, check the label for ingredients with a demonstrated effect on the structure of the dermis. Here's an example of three of them:
• Biomimetic peptides: They “mimic” the body's natural processes and signal to the skin to repair itself.
• Plant-based alternatives to retinol: For active regeneration without the risk of irritating the delicate eye area.
• Postbiotics: To support the skin microbiome and soothe redness.
Based on these scientific discoveries, we created Rose Eye Lift – a product that doesn't just conceal the signs of ageing. Our formula combines the luxury of rose from our organic gardens with next-generation biotechnology:
❤️ Bakuchiol: Nature's answer to retinol. It stimulates collagen and renews skin cells without causing photosensitivity – ideal for everyday use on more sensitive skin.
❤️ Epitensive™ EVO: A biomimetic booster designed to visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkle depth by up to 34% and boost skin radiance by an incredible 86.5%.
❤️ White Truffle combined with Caffeine and Horse Chestnut: A powerful trio that revitalises tired skin and instantly reduces puffiness.

5. The ritual: How to apply eye cream correctly
How you apply it accounts for 50% of the result. The skin around the eyes should never be pulled or tugged!
Pump out a small amount. Use your ring finger – it applies the lightest pressure. Apply with gentle tapping movements along the orbital bone.
Always work from the inner corner of the eye towards the temple.
For best results, first apply a serum (Rose Elixir), then Rose Eye Lift, and finish with a day cream with SPF.
