This is the correct order for managing wrinkles around the eyes and applying eye cream.

Since the skin around the eyes is thin and prone to wrinkles, I believe it is crucial to start managing it preventively in your 20s. I apply eye cream not as the final step of my skincare routine, but after toner and before essence; I feel that this allows the nutrients to be delivered more effectively to the delicate skin around the eyes. The key is to gently pat it in using your ring finger with minimal pressure to aid absorption, and the trick is to spread it widely not only under the eyes but also over the eyelids.

To prevent eye makeup from creasing, you need to pay attention to moisturizing the eye area not only at night but also during the day, so I apply a small amount of a lightweight eye gel before sunscreen. Since wrinkles are really difficult to reverse once they form, I believe that making this a daily morning and evening routine, even if it feels bothersome, is the surest investment for your skin's future. Even if you don't have visible wrinkles right now, if you consistently care for your skin with the mindset of creating a moisturizing barrier, you will eventually see its true value as time goes by.
