How long does a 15ml eye cream last?
In this article, we’ll answer the question of how long you can expect your eye cream to last, depending on how often you use it.
We’ll also explore ways that you might be able to make it last longer.
How long does a 15ml eye cream last?
If you’re using it twice daily, your 15ml eye cream will last approximately three months.
However, this depends on how often you apply it and what type of eye cream it is.
For example, if you use an oil-based product that sinks into the skin quickly and doesn’t require much massaging into the area around your eyes (and therefore has less chance of being rubbed off), then it can last even longer than three months.
If you use an emollient product that requires more rubbing in order to absorb into your skin properly (such as a lotion or gel), then expect this time frame to be shorter due to increased rubbing and potential application wastage when applying too much product at once.
How long does a 15ml eye cream last if you apply it daily?
It’s simple: you apply 15ml of eye cream every day, and you’ll use it up in about two months.
If you’re applying only once a day, that works out to be one gram per day.
How long does a 15ml eye cream last if you apply it every other day?
If you apply your eye cream every other day, it will last for about three months.
Here’s how:
- After cleansing your face and applying toner, apply a small amount of the cream to the orbital bone (the bony area around your eye) with ring finger—this is the weakest finger and won’t cause irritation.
- Use your ring finger in a patting motion from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner and then along the brow bone all around. Repeat on another side, if desired.
How long does a 15ml eye cream last if you apply it three times per month?
It depends. If you have oily skin, your eye cream may not last as long as someone who has dry skin.
The amount of product that remains after application will also vary between individuals, depending on their skin type and how often they apply the product.
However, with proper storage conditions (cool and dark), a 15ml bottle of eye cream should last approximately one year if used daily; less than that if only used weekly or monthly; and even less if used less frequently still (bi-annually).
Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, it all comes down to how quickly you can use up an eye cream and how often you use it.
If you apply your eye cream every day or every other day, it will take less than a month for this one tube to last.
If you don’t use it as often but still want to invest in high-quality ingredients like peptides and retinol, then this product could last for two months or more before needing a refill.
