title: Adjunctive skin care of the brow and periorbital region.
abstract: This article discusses adjunctive skin care of the brow and periorbital region. Anatomic properties of eyelid skin require skin care products specifically suited to this area. Common patient concerns, including wrinkles, infraorbital dark circles, puffiness, and thinning eyebrows and eyelashes, are addressed in the context of contributing anatomic and physiologic factors and the classes of and/or specific ingredients targeting these problems.
