Not all eye creams are created equal. Some are more focused on “prejuvenation” and instant results like depuffing; others contain heavy-hitting anti-aging actives backed by clinical studies. New Orleans dermatologist Mamina Turegano, MD says eye cream can be a controversial topic because there are dermatologists who say you don’t need it, but she is on team eye cream.
“Through my experience, I’ve seen a lot of eyelid issues because that skin is definitely different than the skin on the rest of the face,” she explains. “There are no oil glands, it’s thinner, more delicate, more reactive, and more prone to eczema and contact dermatitis. So, I feel more comfortable recommending products that were formulated for and tested on the eye area.” These are the best options for use at each stage of life and endorsed by the pros.
