At first, the changes were subtle.
A slight loss of firmness around my eyes.
Fine lines and puffiness that didn’t go away, no matter how many eye creams I used. Then one day, I realized my under-eyes didn’t just look dry — they looked tired and less resilient.
That’s when I learned what was really going on: over time, the delicate under-eye area loses moisture, collagen, and elasticity, often worsened by stress, lack of sleep, aging, and years of using products that only sit on the surface.
And even understanding why it was happening didn’t make it any easier to see in the mirror.
