👀 Eye Wrinkles: Should We Stop Laughing… or Just Steal a Supermodel’s Hemorrhoid Cream?

Let’s talk eye wrinkles. You know, those tiny little etchings of joy around your eyes that show up after years of smiling, laughing, squinting at your phone, and gasping at your group chat? Yep those charming (but mildly panic-inducing) things called crow’s feet are officially eye wrinkles … and they tend to show up uninvited, right when you're getting good at eyeliner.

And if you’ve ever asked yourself, “Should I stop laughing to avoid eye wrinkles?” you’re not alone.

But hold up before you go full poker face. There’s a reason supermodel aren’t panicking about smile lines—they’ve got a secret weapon… and, weirdly enough, it’s hemorrhoid cream.

Yes, really.

Legend has it that dabbing a little bum cream under the eyes was the quick fix for red carpet-ready skin. And while it might reduce puffiness for a moment, it’s not exactly designed to treat eye wrinkles (or belong anywhere near your actual eyeballs).

So, let’s unpack the myth of the under-eye miracle that was never meant for your face and how you can get real results, minus the awkward pharmacy aisle moment. Because treating eye wrinkles shouldn’t involve desperation. It should involve science, hydration, and skincare that’s made for your face not your backside.

Short answer: absolutely not.

Longer answer: only if you’re also giving up wine, carbs, and emotional support memes.

Here's the deal: the skin around your eyes is the thinnest on your body, which makes it the first area to show signs of aging. Smiling and squinting cause tiny muscle contractions that eventually leave lasting lines. This is called dynamic wrinkling, and over time, those movements create the classic crow’s feet.

But you know what else laughing does?

• Lowers stress hormones

• Improves circulation

• Boosts your skin's glow

So no, you shouldn’t stop laughing. You should just hydrate and protect your face better—preferably with something other than butt cream.

Yep, you read that right. For decades, makeup artists and models have sworn by dabbing a tiny bit of hemorrhoid cream under the eyes to de-puff and smooth out fine lines before shoots. Why?

Because many of these creams contain phenylephrine, which constricts blood vessels. This can temporarily tighten the skin, reduce swelling, and give the illusion of smoother under-eyes. It’s like Spanx for your face.

But let’s be real—it’s not meant for your face. Overuse can cause irritation, thinning skin, and worse. You might get a good red carpet moment, but you’ll pay for it later.

Instead of reaching for hemorrhoid cream and hoping for the best, let’s talk skincare that was actually designed for your delicate under-eyes (and won’t confuse your pharmacist).

Use a dab of this antioxidant-rich serum around the orbital bone to fight free radicals, brighten dark circles, and support collagen. It’s lightweight, non-irritating, and perfect for daytime use.

• Boosts glow

• Fades pigmentation

• Safe around eyes (just avoid lash lines)

This all-star formula deeply hydrates while peptides work on firming up the skin. Hyaluronic acid plumps, while peptides whisper sweet nothings to your collagen cells.

• Doubles as an eye hydrator

• Fragrance-free = no sting

• Use morning and night

The real wrinkle MVP. This zinc-based sunscreen protects the sensitive eye area from UV damage—the #1 cause of premature aging.

• Reef-safe

• Won’t cause milia (those tiny white bumps)

• Great under makeup

Use this one to do the real work while you sleep. Niacinamide reduces puffiness and pigmentation, while ceramides strengthen your skin’s barrier.

• Wake up looking refreshed

• Helps smooth texture over time

• Like beauty sleep in a jar

Trick Result Risk

Sure, the cream may offer a short-term fix for a fashion shoot. But if you want actual wrinkle prevention, long-term smoothing, and skin that glows even when you're not wearing makeup, Bondi Basics is the smarter (and way less weird) option.

• Hydrate inside and out

• Always remove eye makeup gently (no tugging!)

• Apply eye creams/moisturiser with your ring finger—it’s the weakest, so you won’t drag the skin

• Wear sunglasses outdoors—less squinting = fewer wrinkles

• And yes—keep laughing. That’s what skincare is for.

Wrinkles happen. They’re a natural part of life proof that you’ve smiled, squinted, stayed up too late, and lived a little. And while we fully support embracing the beauty of aging, let’s be honest: most of us would prefer to age well. But that doesn’t mean you need to panic-buy every trending product or sneak into the hemorrhoid aisle hoping no one sees you.

You deserve better.
You deserve a routine that works smarter, not weirder.
