Best Under Eye Treatments

Best under eye treatments— why is this an important topic? Your eyes are one of the first features that people notice about you, so when they look fatigued, wrinkled, or puffy, you come across as tired —no matter how radiant the rest of your face may look. 

During the aging process, the rate at which the skin cells renew slows down, so the skin around this delicate area begins to thin. Collagen and elastin production reduces, contributing to fine lines and a reduction in oil production, causing the skin to become drier — there are also fewer oil glands in this area. This is why you need an eye cream for wrinkles.

BEST: Carrot & Stick’s Eye Cream
The Eye Cream from Carrot & Stick tackles every eye area issue, including dark circles, bags, and sagging skin. It does this thanks to plant-based ingredients, including Persian silk tree (Albizia julibrissin), which helps tighten and protect the delicate skin around the lids. At the same time, St. Paul’s wort (Sigesbeckia Orientalis) stimulates collagen and elastin to help restore vitality.

Carrot & Stick The Eye Serum
A blend of advanced peptides reduces the look of discoloration and rich moisturizers combat dryness. Crow’s-feet are smoothed, puffiness is reduced and skin is visibly lifted and brightened with every application.

Formulyst Complete Anti-Aging Eye Cream
Eyes may be the window to the soul, but they can also be host to a wide range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, puffiness, and bags. Formulyst’s Complete Anti-Aging Eye Cream is a multi-tasking formula targeting the various signs of aging around the eyes. 

The potent eye cream contains retinyl complex and peptide technology to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while hyaluronic acid and cucumber extract soothe and hydrate the delicate eye area.

Obagi Elastiderm Eye Cream
As we age, the elastin fibers in our skin degrade, which means that skin becomes saggy and lax. Around the eye area, this results in droopiness and crepiness. Obagi Elastiderm Eye Cream helps to reduce this with a combination of bimineral complex and malonic acid. The bi-mineral complex combines the minerals copper and zinc and is thought to help improve elasticity and moisture.

Neocutis Lumière
This power-packed eye cream is formulated with hydrating hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and a patented blend of peptides called PSP (Processed Skin Cell Proteins) that work synergistically to brighten, de-puff, disguise dark circles, and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. You’ll need a prescription for this one, which is an excellent excuse to make an appointment with a dermatologist.

Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Intensive Eye Contour Cream
This anti-aging eye cream addresses multiple eye wrinkles, including crow’s feet, under-eye wrinkles, corner creases, and lid creases. The key ingredients include green and brown algae, turmeric extract, aqua peptides, and the brand’s proprietary KOMBU-Bounce Complex to help address the causes of wrinkle formation while serving as a natural wrinkle inner-filler. 

This potent, newly reformulated, anti-wrinkle eye cream reveals visible results in as little as one week.

SK-II R.N.A. POWER Eye Cream
Like all SK-II products, this anti-aging eye cream for wrinkles is formulated with pitera, the company’s signature fermented ingredient. The velvety eye wrinkle cream zeroes in on dark circles, fine lines, and loss of elasticity, thanks to hydrolyzed soy protein, yeast protein, artichoke, and alfalfa leaf extract.

La Mer The Eye Concentrate
This anti-aging eye cream may come with an eye-watering price tag, but La Mer has its band of devoted followers — and this is the brand’s best-selling eye cream. The Eye Concentrate is designed to tackle dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles, as well as dryness, thanks to La Mer’s proprietary Miracle Broth, which contains fermented seaweed and minerals. Bonus points for the cooling metal applicator that helps reduce puffiness and gives an instant cooling feel.

Dr. Brandt 24/7 Retinol Eye Cream
This incredibly impressive needle-free wrinkle filler also brightens, protects against environmental stressors, and softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, thanks to time-released retinol and proprietary Ruby Crystal Complex. A Hydra-Balance Complex (lemon tree honey, phospholipids, and an amino acid deeply hydrate and prevent moisture loss.

Skinmedica TNS Eye Repair
This anti-aging eye cream uses human fibroblast conditioned media (TNS) to help fight wrinkles along the eye area  — think of them as are natural protein messengers. It’s formulated to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles. Its rich texture supplies plumping moisture, thanks to hyaluronic acid. 

Dehydration lines are diminished, and radiance is boosted. Peptides and TNS smooth the eye area, helping to preserve a youthful appearance, while boron nitride provides a light effect that diffuses the look of discoloration.

Skinceuticals Eye Balm
This anti-wrinkle eye cream is designed specifically for mature skin. It’s formulated for dry aging skin and features a synergistic combination of powerful yet gentle plant-based ingredients to nourish and smooth skin around the eye. This rich, hydrating crème explicitly targets three prime visible signs of aging — moisture loss, skin laxity, and free radical damage — as well as puffiness, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Caudalie Premier Cru Anti-Aging Eye Cream
This best-seller is nicknamed “photoshop for the eyes” due to its incredible ability to visibly reduce fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles on contact and over time. Caudalie’s proprietary blend of resveratrol, viniferine, and grape seeds work together to lift, firm, brighten and protect against free radical damage. 

It deeply hydrates yet effortlessly melts into the skin, so it works well with makeup or alone as a natural highlighter to banish under-eye shadows. 

CHANEL Sublimage La Crème Yeux Ultimate Régénération Eye Cream
This ultra-rich eye cream doubles as an eye mask when your under-eyes require an immediate moisture boost. Additionally, the brand’s exclusive Planifolia PolyFractioned Active-infused formula targets wrinkles and loss of elasticity. You’ll notice an immediate improvement in hydration, firmness, radiance, and tone.
