SKINCARE fans say the serum has helped improve their under-eye concerns.
She found this serum to be more effective than any other anti-aging cream she had ever tried.
She explained that she stopped using eye creams after discovering skin care.
“I no longer use eye cream and have found a serum routine that works better than any specific product,” says Reddit user Onlykitten.
She explains that it’s based around an active routine.
After glycolic acid peeling (20%), rinse thoroughly and then use a low molecular weight [hyaluronic acid]Then I spray my face with Avene water (you can use any water to hydrate your HA),” she said.
After hydrating her skin with a facial spray, she opts for more concentrated beauty products.
“Then I use a few drops of beta-glucan, which is 20% more hydrating than HA and won’t strip moisture from the skin.”
“It’s a different way of moisturizing from the inside out.”
Beta-glucan, a soluble fiber, is derived from the cell walls of plants, yeast, and bacteria.

This fiber is often used to treat heart disease, high cholesterol, and eczema.
In skin care, this fiber acts as an antioxidant and helps fight off bacteria, according to Paula’s Choice.
However, after just one purchase, I saw the biggest change in her under eye area.
“After my skin has calmed for a few minutes, I follow with Paula’s Choice 25% Stabilised Vitamin C Serum (which is a creamy, light formula),” she says.
“This combination really hydrates the skin, especially the under-eye area.”
Once the serum has fully absorbed into your skin, finish off the rest of your skincare routine with steps to preserve the results of your hard work.
Dermatologist-Approved Anti-Aging Tips
Dermatologist Dr Brendan Camp shared his dermatologist-approved tips with the U.S. Sun.
- Stop using tanning beds.
- Do not use sunscreen to contour your face.
- Wear driving gloves to protect your hands from the sun: He likes Coolibar Gannett UV Gloves UPF 50+ ($15.99-$39).
- Exercise, eat healthy and get enough sleep.
- Do not drink alcohol or smoke excessively.
“Before moving on to the rest of your routine, take a dab of silicone-based primer and apply it to lightly damp skin,” she said.
“I feel like this product locks in moisture, and even after applying tinted sunscreen (which is all I use), I don’t see any fine lines or wrinkles on my skin.”
This handy trick will help make your sunscreen extra hydrating.
“I actually add a bit of beta-glucan to my tinted sunscreen for extra hydration,” she says.
She explained that in addition to reducing the appearance of her under-eye area, it also made her skin look better all day.
“It has made a huge difference in the way my skin looks throughout the day (especially under my eyes as that is my ‘problem area’),” she said.
