Why Buying Eye Cream Is a Waste of Money, According to a Dermatologist
皮膚科專(zhuān)家表示：為什么買(mǎi)眼霜是浪費(fèi)錢(qián)？

The majority of eye creams on the market are formulated with the same ingredients as most facial moisturizers.?
市面上的大部分眼霜和我們面霜成分相同。

There are no special ingredients in eye creams that are specific to the skin around the eyes, but you should make sure you follow these?dermatologist-approved rules for using moisturizer.
眼霜中并沒(méi)有什么針對(duì)眼部的特殊成分，但你應(yīng)該了解一下皮膚科醫(yī)生是怎樣使用面霜的。

Like the overwhelming majority of facial moisturizers on the market, eye creams are water based—water is often the first ingredient on the ingredients list.
與市面上不計(jì)其數(shù)的面霜一樣，眼霜的主要成分也是水——可以看到，眼霜的配方中，排第一位的通常是水。

Yes, the skin around the eyes is thin. But under a microscope, a skin pathologist cannot distinguish skin taken from around the eye with skin taken from high on the cheekbone.
沒(méi)錯(cuò)，我們眼部周?chē)钠つw的確很薄。但從顯微鏡中看，眼部的和顴骨上的皮膚組織并沒(méi)有太大差別。

One might argue that the thinnest eyelid skin is more susceptible to the damage of the sun’s ultraviolet rays, but ironically, most eye creams don't contain sunscreen.
有人可能會(huì)說(shuō)眼部最脆弱的皮膚對(duì)太陽(yáng)的紫外線尤其敏感，然而諷刺的是，大多數(shù)眼霜都不具備防紫外線的功能。

Science has yet to discover a single ingredient that can reverse the aging process.
目前，科學(xué)界還沒(méi)有發(fā)現(xiàn)有哪種單一的成分可以使人“逆生長(zhǎng)”。

Often “marketing tool” ingredients like caffeine, peptides, or collagen are added to an eye cream formulation to enhance sales.
眼霜只是一種市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷(xiāo)的手段，商家們通常在其中加一些咖啡堿、酞，或者膠原蛋白來(lái)擴(kuò)大銷(xiāo)量。

But there is no scientific evidence that these ingredients have any real benefit or that they can reverse the aging process.?
然而并沒(méi)有科學(xué)的證明，說(shuō)明這些成分真的可以延緩老化。

On the other hand, dermatologists say these breakthrough anti-aging products are the real deal. The ability of an eye cream to improve the appearance of skin around the eye is more dependent on the product's ability to increase the water content of the skin, which is basically its effectiveness as a moisturizer.
另一方面，皮膚科醫(yī)生們表示眼霜的效果更多依賴(lài)于它提高眼部皮膚含水量的的能力，和潤(rùn)膚露有異曲同工之處。

Eye creams are usually packaged in very small jars and can cost anywhere form $13 for a 0.5 oz. jar at the local pharmacy to $100 per 0.5 oz. jar online or at a boutique store. That’s equivalent to $3,200 per pound!
然而眼霜卻通常以小瓶出售，藥店中眼霜價(jià)格大概為13美元半盎司，網(wǎng)上或精品店中則為100美元半盎司.也就是說(shuō)，每磅眼霜的售價(jià)大約為3200美元！

As a moisturizer, an eye cream may increase water content of skin and temporarily improve the appearance of the skin.
從潤(rùn)膚的角度上講，眼霜可能可以提升眼部皮膚的含水量，并短時(shí)間提升皮膚的狀態(tài)。

But so will many well-formulated facial moisturizers for a fraction of the cost.
但許多與它效果相同的面霜價(jià)格卻比眼霜便宜很多。
