Are EYE CREAMS necessary? | Dr Gaile Robredo-Vitas

One of the more common questions I get asked about skincare routines -- Are Eye Creams necessary?
If you do your research, you’d probably get conflicting views and might even end up getting more confused than when you started. ⁠
⁠
Truth be told, when it comes to issues like this, the answer is neither black nor white, but often many shades of gray.⁠
⁠
My response to the same question 5 years ago is much different from my response now... maybe aging had something to do with it (hahaha).⁠
⁠
My eye area is for sure more fragile than the rest of my face and is one of the first, if not the first, to get irritated when I use a new product and the first to show signs of aging. That is why it needs special care and attention. ⁠
⁠
This video serves to educate and give information about anything related to skin and skincare and shall in no way take the place of a proper consultation with an expert, such as a board-certified dermatologist.

Discovered you through your guesting in Jan Angelo's channel Doc. I subscribed and got hooked into your very informative and data-supported videos. Hope more people will get to watch your vids.

[@irenegaile]

Yay! Daghang salamat for the support and the encouragement! I hope to continue to provide valuable content to everyone! Topic suggestions are welcome! :)

[@hafiz8911]

Very informative Doc. Gaile🥰

[@irenegaile]

Thank you too! ☺️☺️

[@titserhar]

Thanks for this!

[@irenegaile]

I hope it was informative 🙏🏻

[@micaellacatunao-beauty0]

You're great doc! I just wished there was a basic explanation on the other medical terms or words. I keep googling some of them.

[@irenegaile]

Eeep sorry 😆🙈 but thanks for the feedback, will try to make it less technical. I really appreciate it 🥰🤗

[@desireebulintao2044]

Grabeee, I'm so glad that I discovered your channel. I'm learning a lot from you po 🤗 thank you so much, doc! 💙

I’ve never used a separate eye cream. Neither did my mom. She taught me to use my ring finger as well. She used the old Oil of Olay in a glass jar. It was pink and the jar had a black lid. She also grew an aloe vera plant in the back yard and would apply that to her face. She never went in the sun and had great skin. The big shocker? She didn’t wash her makeup off at night

[@irenegaile]

Good genes i suppose. Though i still do not recommend sleeping with your make up on. Not everyone is as gifted and lucky as you guys :)

[@alkaholic4848]

If she never went in the sun, how did she grow and harvest the aloe vera plant in the back yard?

[@RegisteredNurseL.A.]

@@alkaholic4848 She never purposefully laid in the sun is what I’m saying. We grew up in So Cal and you can just plant aloe in the yard

[@CharmBoquiron]

Hi Doc, maybe you have idea sa hair growth. Alagang rebond po kasi hair ko noon pero I noticed na lalo lang siya nadamage. 🙏🏻

[@christian1526]

So basically if you have sunscreen then you can use it for the eyes so it's two and one no need of eye cream. If dark circles are your only skin problem around the eyes. Good day!

[@irenegaile]

yes

[@haroldcamanag]

Thank you Doc Gaile for this vid! Very helpful for those na torn parin if need ba nila ng eye creams or if nakaka help ba talaga sila sa concern nila. 😍

[@irenegaile]

Yay! Ultimately it’s up to you, your needs and concerns and if certain products and ingredients work for you or not :) salamat sa support 🤗🥰

[@shierlymayeusebio7433]

Doc, this content of yours is heaven-sent! I'm so torn on whether or not to buy an eye cream. But after watching your video I know now that I should get one. I tend to get super dry around the eye area and my derma-prescribed facial moisturizer is super basic lang (since I have sensitive skin) and I don't think it helps my eye area. If its not too much to ask, what eye cream products can you recommend?

[@irenegaile]

Thanks for the kind words. To be honest I use whatever creams for my face on my eye area, however when I do travel and my skin around the eye area gets a bit more dry, i use an additional eye cream to to moisturize it and the brands that ive tried are --- cetephil, avene, ZO, kiehls, peter thomas roth and neostrata. For me, go with a brand you trust with products that have worked well on your skin in the past. Each skin is different and what worked for me might not work for you.

[@shierlymayeusebio7433]

@@irenegaile thank you very much for replying to me in such comprehensive manner. Will try out cetaphil since it worked for me in the past. Thanks, Doc! 💛

Hi Doc! AHA lang po ba bawal sabayan ng Ibang actives like vit c,niacinamide etc. but pag BHA and PHA okay lang?

[@irenegaile]

AHA is ok din with other products, basta when you incorporate with with other irritating ingredients, wag pabigla bigla

[@jeyzzele2589]

Hi doc anong suncreen po na pwde sa lactating mom? Salamat po

[@irenegaile]

Any that you are willing to use and apply as needed ;)

[@whoisthisperson2301]

What eye cream do you recommend for 16 year old teenagers doc?

[@irenegaile]

You dont need a eye cream at that age :) moisturizers will do

[@janchristianeranido1012]

So it really depends na lang talaga if you need it or not. :]

[@irenegaile]

Yes, skincare is very personalized :)

[@janchristianeranido1012]

@@irenegaile thank you, doc. :]

[@hafiz8911]

How about sa mga Milia prone sa eye area Doc? Do you think they need to avoid eye creams?

[@irenegaile]

Milia are made of keratin (skin) that got trapped or did not shed properly. There are individuals prone to developing Milia but it is said that trauma, use of occlusive ointments and frequent rubbing of the eye area can contribute to their formation.

[@hafiz8911]

Thank you Doc Gaile🥺

[@haroldcamanag]

First 😍

[@jeroojerio9975]

Doc comedogenic po ba ang petrolatum?

[@irenegaile]

Petroleum jelly is in itself non-comedogenic BUT, being an occlusive, I don't recommend my patients with oily and acne-prone skin to lather it all over the face because it may lead to breakouts. It is excellent in sealing in moisture keeping the skin hydrated. Petroleum jelly is something I often have handy for my lips and the tips of my fingers when they get too dry from washing or using alcohols/hand sanitizers.

[@jhenarose]

Doc, mahilig po ako mag kuskos ng eye, kasi makati, I think yun yung cause ng puffy and lines, how to deal with it po?

[@irenegaile]

I suggest you consult, maraming kailangan i assess at malaman :)

[@ishaguillen6514]

Hi po, doc! Puede po ba gumamit ang mga 13-15 yrs old ng 'Jumiso Yes I Am Toner AHA 5%'? Salamat po:)

[@irenegaile]

I honestly think that 13-15 year olds dont need AHA yet unless they are experiencing mild acne and will benefit from exfoliation. Yung ganyan na age kc hindi pa kailangan ng exfoliation kc ung skin turnover nila or ung pag palit ng balat is regular pa.

The music is really loud and brings down the quality of your video. I can't even focus on what you are saying. I think your videos would do better if you weren't talking over loud music.
