Fine lines and folds are a natural part of ageing and can be the first to show on the fragile eye area as it's the area of the face with the least amount of sebaceous oil glands.
That combined with the fact the eye lid skin is four times thinner than the rest of the face, it's no wonder why many need a little help with maintaining eye shape and contour as we get older.
That's where the Calecim Eye Contour Lifting Cream has impressed with its patented technology that penetrates to the deepest layers of the skin to rejuvenate from the inside out.
The hero ingredient in the Eye Contour Lifting Cream is Calecim's patented PTT-6®. PTT-6®, is derived ethically from the cord lining of red deer and contains stem cells and exosomes, which have been scientifically validated.
It should be noted that the extraction of these stem cells is conducted under extreme ethical considerations with no harm to any animals.
The benefits are that it contains over 3,000 proteins, including growth factors, cytokines and exosomes that signal cells to regenerate.
Over time, this is proven to increase the production of collagen and elastin, therefore reducing crepiness and translucency by thickening both epidermal and dermal skin layers. In short, this is far from your bog-standard eye cream.
Other key active ingredients include caffeine extract, fruit acids and niacinamides, which all help achieve younger-looking skin by aiding in elasticity, reducing crepiness, and improving the look of tired eyes.
And while this all sounds great, the Eye Contour Lifting Cream has impressed in clinical trials too. With five to seven weeks of use, users in the clinical trials found noticeable improvements in the firmness, discolouration and puffiness.
Tons of Calecim shoppers seem to love this product too, including doctors. 'I am amazed I can already see a difference in texture, tone and pigment after 1 week of using the Eye Contour Lifting Cream! My eyes already look much fresher!' says one verified reviewer.
Another agreed, adding: 'I'm a fairly difficult to impress 50 year old hospital consultant. My medical training has left me skeptical of too good to be true claims made about serums and creams... BUT this particular eye serum made a noticeable difference in just a few applications'.

Cancer-hit ex-Sky News star Dermot Murnaghan reveals how he ‘fell through gaps' before stage 4 diagnosis
NEWS presenter Dermot Murnaghan has said his diagnosis of stage four cancer came after he 'fell through the gaps'. The 67-year-old told an event for Prostate Cancer UK he had been getting tested every year or so. 5 5 He said: 'For years I thought, 'That'll do me'. 'It never occurred to me they weren't testing for PSA (prostate-specific antigen). 'I never went to my GP because I was getting tests privately. 'That's how I fell through the gaps and that's how I had a massive wake-up call.' The ex-Sky News host revealed in June he had stage four prostate cance r, and was 'responding positively' to treatment. He told the event: 'You can get to the stage I have with no symptoms. 'Get the (PSA) test. 'You can insist if you're in a high-risk group and under 50. 'If not, still get tested at 50.' How to check your prostate cancer risk Prostate cancer can be deadly, partly because it often has no noticeable symptoms in the early stages, making it difficult to detect until it has spread. Symptoms usually only appear once the cancer has grown large enough to put pressure on the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the penis (urethra). The NHS says there are seven symptoms of the disease - many of which could be overlooked: Needing to pee more frequently, often during the night Needing to rush to the toilet Difficulty in starting to pee (hesitancy) Straining or taking a long time while peeing Weak flow Feeling that your bladder has not emptied fully Blood in urine or blood in semen It's important to note these symptoms don't always mean you have prostate cancer. Many men's prostates get larger as they get older because of a non-cancerous condition called benign prostate enlargement. But with prostate cancer being one of the most common cancers in the UK, if you experience these symptoms you should see your GP. In recent months, several celebrities have publicly revealed their diagnoses of prostate cancer, including six-time Olympic champion Sir Chris Hoy. When Sir Chris Hoy was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer, he had no symptoms. The sportsman revealed his terminal diagnosis in an interview with The Times last year. He's now advocating for increased awareness and early detection of prostate cancer. 5

Nearly 15 million children went unvaccinated in 2024, says the UN
UN health officials have warned that 14 million children worldwide did not receive any vaccinations last year, a figure consistent with the previous year, with nine countries accounting for over half of these unprotected children. The World Health Organisation and UNICEF reported stable DTP vaccine coverage, but cautioned that a potential collapse in international aid this year threatens to reverse progress. Significant setbacks are attributed to US policy shifts, including President Trump's withdrawal from the WHO and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s decision to pull billions from Gavi, the vaccines alliance. Experts highlighted that unequal vaccine access, ongoing conflicts, and widespread misinformation are unwinding decades of progress, with Sudan reporting the lowest DTP coverage. Global measles vaccine coverage remains below the 95 per cent needed to prevent outbreaks, leading to major surges in cases across Europe and the US, and a recent child death in the UK.

NHS cuts could lead to another Baby P or Victoria Climbie as safeguarding staff face axe, doctors warn
NHS cuts to key safety roles could trigger more abuse and child deaths, such as those of Baby P and Victoria Climbié, doctors and experts have warned. Medical staff responsible for safeguarding in their area are legally required to flag concerns about vulnerable patients, but their roles are at risk of being axed as local NHS bodies scramble to make government-imposed cost savings, doctors have told The Independent. Almost two dozen healthcare professionals, medical royal colleges, alongside children's charity the NSPCC, have written to Health Secretary Wes Streeting urging him to protect the roles. The letter to Mr Steeting, shared with The Independent, said: 'The NHS has a crucial role to play in protecting children. 'Given the scale and pace of reform, we ask you to urgently send a clear message to the public and all those who work to protect babies. This should guarantee that keeping children safe will remain a priority for the NHS and that ICBs will be fully resourced to carry out their child safeguarding duties.' The NSPCC warned that any cuts to safeguarding could result in a reduction in the tens of thousands of vital alerts already made by healthcare professionals every year - which has decreased since the pandemic, from 96,300 in 2020 to 91,370 in 2024. Dr Peter Green, chair of the national network of designated health professionals and doctors for child safeguarding, told The Independent there was a risk that cases such as Baby P, Victoria Climbié will occur more frequently as a result of any cuts. Dr Green said: 'There is a clear risk of those cases significantly increasing. The risk of those cases is obviously going to increase by not having the [NHS'] oversight and learning when things go wrong.' Baby P, Peter Connelly, died in August 2007 after suffering dozens of injuries at the hands of his mother, her boyfriend and his brother. A review of the high-profile case revealed a series of failings before his death by authorities, such as healthcare professionals and Haringey Council. Eight-year-old Victoria Climbie was murdered in 2000, by her aunt and her boyfriend, and an inquiry into her death led to sweeping changes to child protection laws. It is not known how many NHS safeguarding roles are at risk, but all local NHS bodies must make 50 per cent cuts to staffing as a result of the government's plans to abolish NHS England. Safeguarding was listed in official guidance as one area that could be targeted. 'Medical neglect' Urging Mr Streeting to protect the roles, the NSPCC also pointed to cases where children have died following horrific abuse or neglect, such as three-year-old Abiyah Yasharahyalah, Star Hobson, aged 1, and Arthur Labinjo-Hughes, aged 6. Abiyah died in 2020, having been starved by his parents and buried in their garden - a case which showed clear signs of 'medical neglect' was overlooked by authorities. The review into his care found agencies that came into contact with his family showed a "general lack of knowledge or assessment of the parents' belief systems", saw him kept on an extreme vegan diet, leading to an "insufficient understanding about the impact on his care". It concluded, his parents' culture and beliefs had a detrimental impact on his health, welfare and safety. He died from a respiratory illness, worsened by severe malnourishment, rickets, anaemia and stunted growth. According to the review, his parents failed to provide appropriate healthcare, ignored medical recommendations and cut off contact with health professionals who could support the child's condition. It also found opportunities for preventative care advice were missed as Abiyah was not brought to his health visiting assessments at one year old and two years old. A national review following Star's death in 2020 highlighted various gaps in the capacity of health services. One example given was significant increases in the workload for health visitors in the area that meant a pre-birth family health needs assessment was not conducted. And in Arthur's case, a limited capacity in children's mental health services before his death in 2020 may have impacted responses to his emotional and mental health needs. The NSPCC told The Independent that during the pandemic, health visitors who are key in spotting abuse were instead to work on Covid wards, and the 50 per cent still working as health visitors had their caseloads increased. In the same year, incidents of death or serious harm to children under one soared by almost a third in England. A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: 'We are working closely with NHS England to maintain the safeguarding of vulnerable children and ensure their wellbeing remains at the heart of healthcare delivery. 'By reforming the NHS organisations, we are removing duplication and driving up efficiency, so they can provide better services for patients. 'We expect NHS organisations to work together and with other agencies in the interests of children and young people.'
