What is DDF Protective Eye Cream SPF Plus with CoQ10?

This is a unique daytime eye cream in the fact that it has a sunscreen in the formula. This DDF product is meant for those wanting to not only heal previous eye damage but those that want to protect from further damage. The skin around the eye is the most delicate and fragile skin on our whole bodies, it quickly and easily gets damaged by everything from sun, aging, applying make-up and even rubbing eye cream on, which is why it is recommended to tap your eye creams on instead of rubbing them. Along with the sunscreen is the ingredient CoQ10, which a powerful ingredient to help rebuild and repair previous damage. By using this product they promise you that you will nourish and restore your skin, giving you a healthier and more youthful look around your eyes. It also can help reduce the look of puffiness and dark circles that are often found on aging and tired eyes.

The cream uses CoQ10, essential fatty acids, lutein and an SPF as the main active ingredients. Here are a few that I find important

• CoQ10: Provides an energy source for renewal.
• Essential Fatty Acids: Helps boost skin’s regeneration ability and adds much needed hydration to the delicate skin that can get dehydrated quickly and easily.
• Lutein: to promote healthy skin

Final Thoughts

I think this product has hit the bullseye by putting a sunscreen in their eye cream. Genius! The eye area often gets looked over when it comes to sunscreen and it is the place that needs it the most. The concern I am seeing with this cream is the fact that it is pretty pricey for a day cream that isn’t as rich and powerful as the night creams. Most people would rather put their money into a good night/thicker eye cream and just remember to put their own facial sunscreen around their eyes. Also there seems to be about 1 in 4 people complaining of an allergic reaction when using this complex which is a surprisingly high number. I always worry about suggesting product that have the potential to cause harm and irritation. The eye area is an especially uncomfortable area to have become irritated and the eye area can also take a longer time to heal from skin irritants. I would suggest trying a sample of this eye complex and making sure that you are not one that gets irritated or broken out from this cream before spending the money on it. 

This SPF eye cream is $50
