Because we share a lot of our favorites with you every single day, we recognize it might be hard to keep up. So we’ve decided to put together a handy weekly list of what we love and what you love. Consider this a CliffsNotes, one-stop shop of what’s really trending and worth adding to your cart at this very moment.
This week, we’re looking at the eye products—creams, serums, masks—that will improve dark circles, puffiness, and more. Do you have a product that we missed? We’d love to know. Send us a DM.
This eye cream boosts collagen production, firms the skin, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, and even reduces puffiness under the eyes. It’s formulated with growth factors, proprietary peptides, caffeine, and vitamin C.
Try this drugstore pick that has high ratings and won’t cost you more than $15. It’s a brightening cream with hyaluronic acid for moisture and niacinamide to soothe the skin.
It’s pricey, but it’s definitely worth the investment. The product does a whole lot—from reducing the appearance of dark circles to erasing puffiness to boosting elasticity to smoothing fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s-feet. It’s also formulated with optical diffusers which disperses light to make your eyes look brighter and less tired.
For a lifted look, try this contour cream. The caffeine and Brazilian ginseng-root extract in this product reduces dark circles and puffiness; horse chestnut and acmella oleracea extracts smooths crow’s-feet and fine lines; lutein gives a glow; and cocoa and shea butters, watermelon rind extract, and sodium PCA all help to hydrate the skin.
Fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness don’t stand a chance with this best-selling drugstore find. In addition to retinol, it also contains a mineral complex and glycerin.
This is my go-to eye cream of the moment. I love that you can use it all over the eye area, as a lot of formulas are only meant for specific spots, like under the eyes. And because you can use it all over, it’s multitasking.
With ingredients like Spanish lavender to smooth and diminish wrinkles, calcified red algae to erase under-eye bags and puffiness, and dabberlocks seaweed to help attain firmer skin, this cream really refreshes and rejuvenates the eyes.
You can use these gel patches on your eyes, plus other parts of your face like the forehead and lip lines. They’re formulated with seven forms of collagen and collagen-supporting ingredients for firmer, hydrated, and plump skin.
This eye moisturizer is powered by hyaluronic acid, pro-retinol, and vitamin C for softer, firmer, smoother, and brightened skin.
The cool thing about this product is it has a cooling rollerball applicator to help your eyes feel even more refreshed. The serum itself dries quickly and deeply hydrates and brightens the eye area.
For a clean option, try this eye cream from Ursa Major. It’s formulated with “forest-infused ingredients” like chaga, tremella, pink snow algae, and wild birch to de-puff, hydrate, and improve the appearance of fine lines and dark circles.
This fast-absorbing cream locks in moisture while also revitalizing and lifting the eyes. It’s cruelty-free and made with natural ingredients, too.
If you’re allergic to fragrance or don’t like it at all, you’ll be happy to know that this eye cream is fragrance-free. It provides 24-hour hydration and keeps your eyes looking awake (even if you’re going on little sleep).
This serum treatment really fights all the signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles, dryness, and sagging. As you get older, the skin around your eyes can get duller and this can help illuminate it.
A blend of three forms of vitamin C is the hero ingredient in this treatment, as it prevents hyperpigmentation and firms the skin. In addition to that, there’s also lactic acid for exfoliating and hydrating benefits, plus tranexamic acid to reduce dark spots.
For a quick pick-me-up, you can apply these eye gels for five minutes and remove them for de-puffed and hydrated eyes.
This eye balm contains bakuchiol, which some say is a gentler retinol alternative. The formula is also enriched with vitamin C, licorice root, bearberry leaf, and caffeine.
Revision Skincare is a dermatologist-favorite brand, so you can trust its eye cream. It’s especially designed for the eyelid to help prevent droopy lids. The product also firms, smooths, improves the appearance of fine lines, and reduces under-eye crepiness.
The lightweight and brightening cream is a pearlescent formula that has a soft-focus effect on the eyes. Ingredients include niacinamide to brighten, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 to deal with puffiness, and squalane to hydrate.
Who knew there were six types of eye wrinkles? Well, there are and this formula targets them: crow’s-feet, corner crinkling, undereye wrinkles, lid creases, under-puff lines, and stress wrinkles between the brows. It also leaves your skin hydrated for up to 48 hours.
