Description
The skin around your eyes is particularly delicate and needs extra nourishment. Whatever your skin condition, Daily Hydrating Eye Cream is the perfect solution to smooth, moisturise and refresh. It absorbs rapidly and may be applied immediately prior to putting on your make-up.
Formulation: Pineapple extract, marshmallow and calendula have a revitalising, calming effect, smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Rose distillate, blended with nurturing avocado, macadamia nut and sea buckthorn oils moisturise, nourish and tone.
Skin condition: For all skin conditions.
Usage
Each morning after cleansing and toning, gently apply Daily Hydrating Eye Cream with the ring fingers, starting from the inside corner of the eye area and working outwards. Light and absorbs rapidly, making it ideal for application before applying eye make-up. Ophthalmologically tested and suitable for contact lens wearers.

Dr Hauschka Daily Hydrating Eye Cream, your questions answered
Q1. Why use a separate eye cream rather than face moisturiser?
The skin around the eye is significantly thinner than the rest of the face, has fewer oil glands, and sits immediately adjacent to the eye surface. Products formulated for the face may contain concentrations of actives or fragrances that are too strong for this area.
A dedicated eye cream is formulated specifically for the periocular zone, where tolerance is lower and precision matters more.
Q2. What does hydrating mean in a clinical eye context?
The skin around the eye loses moisture faster than other facial skin, which accelerates the fine lines and tightness that appear there first.
A hydrating eye cream supports the skin barrier to retain moisture. For people with dry eye, keeping the periocular skin well hydrated also reduces the flaking and irritation that can shed into the tear film.
Q3. Is Dr Hauschka safe around the eye area?
Dr Hauschka formulates without synthetic fragrances, parabens, or mineral oil, which are the ingredients most associated with periocular reactions. The brand is assessed against the Eyehouse Eye Friendly Rating before being stocked.
Q4. How do I apply it?
Use your ring finger, which applies the lightest pressure. Pat gently along the orbital bone from outer to inner corner, morning and evening after cleansing.
Do not pull or drag the skin. Avoid applying directly onto the lash line or eyelid margin.
Q5. Can I use it with contact lenses?
Apply before inserting lenses and allow it to fully absorb first. Keep it away from the lash line to prevent migration onto the lens surface.
Q6. What is the difference between the Daily Hydrating Eye Cream and the Regenerating Eye Cream at Dr Hauschka?
The Daily Hydrating formula suits general moisture support for most skin ages and types. The Regenerating formula is aimed more specifically at mature skin showing loss of firmness or fine lines. If dryness is your main concern, start with Daily Hydrating. If firmness and ageing are the concern, Regenerating is the better fit.
Q7. What is the best eye cream for dry, tired eyes?
Look for a fragrance-free, barrier-supporting formula applied consistently morning and evening rather than an occasional treatment. Dr Hauschka's Daily Hydrating Eye Cream is formulated for exactly that everyday hydration need, and is a common first recommendation for periocular dryness.
