The delicate skin under your eyes is often the first area to show signs of ageing. Fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness can all start to appear in the under-eye area, making you look older and more tired than you feel.
But don't worry, there are plenty of great under-eye cream options that can help to improve the appearance of your under-eye area. Read on to see the best under eye creams.
CeraVe Eye Repair Cream is a lightweight, non-greasy cream that is formulated with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and niacinamide to hydrate and protect the delicate skin under the eyes. It also contains caffeine to help reduce puffiness and dark circles. Perfect for sensitive skin and available at many drug stores.
It's also got niacinamide and marine botanical complexes and states that it's an oil-free formula & ophthalmologist tested which is super important as some creams and a lot of retinols can irritate the eye area.
It's also a super affordable option, so good for everyday skin routines.
Peter Thomas Roth Potent-C Power Eye Cream is a powerful brightening eye cream that is formulated with vitamin C, THD ascorbate, and ferulic acid to brighten dark circles, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and protect the skin from free radical damage.
Where to buy:
Dr. Loretta Tightening Eye Gel is a lightweight, cooling eye gel that is formulated with caffeine, peptides, and cucumber extract to reduce puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines and wrinkles. It is also non-comedogenic, so it won't clog pores.
Where to buy:
The Clinique is a popular option specifically for depuffing and dark circles under the eyes. It's a lightweight eye cream that is gel like.
Caffeine and hyaluronic acid is formulated to defend against signs of premature ageing around the eyes and crows feet.
A great one for those who may want to swap out a more expensive cream for daily use. It's not sticky, goes on well and smoothly, it also absorbs into the skin and doesn't sit on top. Not irritating at all hydrating the under eye super well.
Wait about five or ten minutes for it to soak in a bit, if you want to apply makeup or other products.
RoC Retinol Correxion Line Smoothing Eye Cream
Now we don't have to tell you again how much we love this one! RoC Retinol Correxion Line Smoothing Eye Cream is a powerful eye cream that is formulated with retinol to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, and brighten dark circles. It is also non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic.
This brand has been around for a while and it's a bit pricier, but it does have amazing ingredients. From using plant-derived squalane and paracress extract. These ingredients are what give the lifted, firming, and plumping look.
It's a rich thick cream without being greasy, and has anti-ageing properties. It claims to instantly firm and smooth under the eyes. Powered by paracress extract for a lifted look and pink marine algae to diminish fine lines, it provides lasting hydration and a crease-free canvas for makeup.
The pink marine algae peptide complex is what is supposed to minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in 7 days.
These are just a few of the best under eye creams. When choosing an under-eye cream, it is important to consider your individual skin concerns. If you have dry skin, you will want to choose an eye cream that is hydrating.
If you have oily skin, you will want to choose an oil-free eye cream. And if you have sensitive skin, you will want to choose an eye cream that is fragrance-free and hypoallergenic. We cover sensitive eye cream recommendations here.
Once you have chosen an under eye cream, be sure to apply it twice daily, once in the morning and once at night. Gently pat the cream into the under-eye area, using your ring finger. Be careful not to get the cream into your eyes.
With regular use, you should start to see a noticeable improvement in the appearance of your under-eye area within a few weeks.
