Learn more about how chamomile extract can help support the health and appearance of your under-eye skin.
You're likely most familiar with chamomile tea—a floral, soothing, and calming brew that’s been used for millennia to calm the nervous system, lower inflammation, and ease stomach troubles. But this super botanical is also used in skincare to soothe, calm, and tighten the skin. It might be most useful on the thinnest and most easily irritated skin – your under-eyes.
In this article, we'll cover everything you should know about the benefits of using chamomile cream under your eyes. We'll dive into the science behind its anti-inflammatory properties and depuffing botanical "magic".
This astringent herb, in the form of an extract, is a wonderful botanical addition to any skin cream. In the use of under-eye treatments, it really is an unsung hero – underutilized in traditionally irritating anti-aging retinoid eye creams. Adding this chamomile extract to an eye cream gets ahead of irritation, or excessive dryness, all while adding to the lifting, depuffing, and brightening of the formula. That is exactly why we use it in our Strut Eye Cream formula.
Let's get into the 7 benefits of using chamomile cream under your eyes. If formulated correctly, it could be a match made in heaven.
The natural compounds in chamomile, particularly bisabolol, and apigenin, help reduce fluid retention and constrict blood vessels, making it effective at reducing morning puffiness.
Chamomile's anti-inflammatory properties make it nature's most gentle yet effective soother for reactive, sensitive under-eye skin.
By improving micro-circulation and reducing inflammation, chamomile helps fade the appearance of dark circles while evening out skin tone.
Through a combination of improved circulation, reduced irritation, and better moisture retention, chamomile helps create a smoother-looking under-eye texture, which can help soften the appearance of fine lines.
The natural astringent properties of chamomile provide a gentle tightening effect that helps firm the delicate under-eye area.
Chamomile contains compounds like alpha-bisabolol and chamazulene that help calm inflammation and provide antioxidant protection. By reducing irritation, these compounds support a healthier skin barrier in the delicate under-eye area.
The lightweight yet deeply hydrating properties of chamomile extract help maintain moisture levels without the heaviness of traditional eye creams.
The Strut Eye Cream is formulated with chamomile extract, chosen for its soothing and protective properties. This combo formula features anti-aging powerhouses such as micro-dose tretinoin, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and more. Chamomile helps to support your skin as these ingredients do their work to smooth wrinkles and restructure collagen fibers. The chamomile extract and tacrolimus also work together to soothe and calm the skin.
The benefits of using chamomile cream are best experienced in combination with other ingredients. Here's a look at our formula and how these powerful ingredients work together to support your under-eye skin:
Apply a small amount to clean and dry under-eye area. Use a small amount, apply with your ring finger, and gently pat into the skin under and around the eye. Avoid the eyelid. Start by using 2-3 times per week, gradually increasing frequency to nightly use as your skin adjusts. Always use SPF during the day, as this formula contains ingredients that may increase sun sensitivity.
Chamomile extract is a powerful yet gentle botanical that brings multiple benefits to the delicate under-eye area. Its anti-inflammatory compounds help reduce morning puffiness and calm irritated skin. While delivering antioxidant protection, chamomile supports your skin's natural barrier function and helps maintain hydration.
When chamomile cream is combined with active ingredients like retinoids or vitamin C, it acts as a soothing partner, helping your skin better tolerate these powerful anti-aging compounds. Whether used alone or as part of a targeted eye treatment, chamomile offers a time-tested skincare addition for maintaining healthy, comfortable under-eye skin.
