Experts Explain How to Reduce and Treat Eye Wrinkles: From Topical Treatments to Cosmetic Procedures
Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process.
While there’s no way to prevent wrinkles from forming (full-stop), topical creams and cosmetic treatments can help rejuvenate the skin around your eyes. There’s retinoids, Botox, resurfacing procedures and more, but there’s no singular “right” answer when it comes to smoothing the appearance of eye wrinkles.
The course of action that’s best for you will largely depend on what you’re hoping to achieve in your skin goals. We’ll break down everything you need to know about eye wrinkles, from how they form to the preventative measures you can take, to revitalize and brighten your skin.
Understanding Eye Wrinkles: The Two Types
Dr. Anthony Youn explains that there are two main types of wrinkles that can form around the eye — static and dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are caused by repeated muscle contraction through activities such as laughing, smiling, or frowning. Crow’s feet are an example of dynamic wrinkles resulting from squinting due to contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle.
Static wrinkles develop naturally over time as part of the aging process. Factors like gravity and collagen thinning contribute to their development on both upper and lower eyelids.

5 out of 13 products had deficiencies in UVA or UVB protection
Vienna (OTS/VKI) – Until a few years ago, sunscreens that were specifically designed for the face were a niche product for people with sensitive facial skin. This range of products has now found its way from pharmacies to supermarkets, perfumeries and drugstores. But how useful are such products and do they deliver what they promise? The Association for Consumer Information (VKI), together with European consumer organizations, tested 13 sun creams for the face with sun protection factor (SPF) 50 or 50+. More than half of the products received a “good” rating; However, 5 creams did not meet the advertised UV protection – including one of the two products tested by Nivea. Overall, 7 “good”, 1 “average”, 1 “less satisfactory” and 4 “unsatisfactory” were awarded. The results in detail are available online www.konsument.at/sonnenschutz-gesicht.
