From Our Community: Real Routines and Real Results with Infuse

eye cream review

While night creams and eye creams can both hydrate and nourish, they serve different purposes. A night cream is designed for overall facial repair, while an eye cream targets the thinner, more delicate skin around the eyes. Using both, especially with clinically backed formulas, can deliver the best results for visible radiance and firmness.

Real People, Real Results

In the Infuse community, skincare is more than a routine, it’s a ritual grounded in science, strength, and substance. One of the most common questions we hear is: “Do I really need a separate eye cream and night cream?”

To answer, we looked at real routines from our customers and brand ambassadors. Their results speak for themselves: when high-quality, targeted products are combined thoughtfully, skin responds with resilience and radiance.

Why Night Cream and Eye Cream Work Better Together

Different Skin, Different Needs

The skin under your eyes is about 40% thinner than the rest of your face, making it more prone to fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness. Night creams, while nourishing, are generally formulated for the face and neck, not this sensitive area.

In the Infuse Ritual, the Yerba Mate Night Revival Cream is designed to deeply hydrate and repair overnight, while the Yerba Mate Radiance Eye Cream brightens, firms, and protects the delicate under-eye skin without overloading it.

Layering Without Overloading

Using separate products ensures each area gets the right concentration of active ingredients without causing irritation, a key for women over 40 with evolving skin needs.

"I used to think my night cream was enough for my eyes. Adding a dedicated eye cream made such a difference; my concealer goes on smoother and my fine lines look softer."

Her Routine:

  1. Cleanse with Yerba Mate Energizing Cleanser to remove impurities without stripping moisture.
  2. Apply night cream to face and neck.
  3. Finish with eye cream for targeted under-eye care.

"Keeping my routine simple but targeted is key. I stick to three steps and my skin feels more balanced than it did with the eight products I used to buy."
