Do double eyelid glues cause eyelid laxity?
I've been using double eyelid glue every day, and recently noticed that my eyelids aren't as tight as before. Will constantly using this stuff really make my eyelids become loose?

In general, double eyelid glue might cause eyelid laxity. The specific analysis is as follows:
The skin around the eyes is very thin and fragile. Prolonged use of double eyelid glue may frequently tug at the skin around the eyes, causing skin damage and decreased eyelid elasticity. The adhesive properties of the double eyelid glue may also negatively affect the periorbital skin, further exacerbating eyelid laxity. Additionally, some individuals may be allergic to the materials used in double eyelid glue, which can cause allergic reactions such as redness, swelling, and itching of the eyelids. Repeated allergic and inflammatory reactions can damage the normal structure and function of the skin, reducing its supportive capacity and accelerating eyelid laxity.
It is recommended to use high-quality, breathable double eyelid glue and avoid low-quality products to reduce skin irritation. Additionally, avoid excessive pulling of the eyelids, and apply the glue gently to minimize skin damage. In daily skincare, eye creams or moisturizers can also be used to enhance hydration and nourishment of the periorbital skin, improve skin elasticity, and prevent eyelid laxity.
