Dermatologist advises against excessive eye cream use and suggests facial moisturizer instead

A dermatologist has advised against using excessive amounts of eye cream, stating that a small amount is sufficient. Dr. Dray emphasized that many people apply too much product, which is unnecessary for the under-eye area. She demonstrated the correct amount, suggesting a line about half the size of a fingertip for both upper and lower lids. Dr. Dray noted that one tube of eye cream could last a lifetime. Instead of eye cream, she prefers using her regular facial moisturizer in the eye area. Other sources recommend using a pea-sized amount and applying it gently with the ring finger.
