BEST EYE CREAM FOR DARK CIRCLES
The light-reflecting microminerals in Murad Vita-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector ($62) add instant luminosity to counteract darkness while gold-stabilized L-ascorbic acid (aka vitamin C) works to correct dark circles over time.
BEST EYE CREAM FOR PUFFINESS
Mario Badescu Caffeine Eye Cream ($18) gives tired eyes a jolt of energy as hydrating squalane and sodium hyaluronate smooth the look of fine lines and prep skin for makeup.
BEST RETINOL EYE CREAM
Smiles are beautiful—we’ll take as many as we can get these days— but the tiny lines they leave around our eyes aren’t so much. RoC Retinol Correxion Line Smoothing Eye Cream ($18) is clinically proven to visibly reduce crow’s-feet by 50 percent in 12 weeks.
"The skin of the eyelids is very thin, and signs of aging there become visible sooner than the rest of the face. Eye creams are preventive, as well as therapeutic for aging eyelids, and I recommend looking for products with ingredients like growth factors and retinol.” —Dr. Mokhtar Asaadi
BEST CBD EYE CREAM
Silky, lightweight and packed with vitamin C and soothing CBD, Saint Jane Bright Repair Eye Cream ($65) sinks right into skin, leaving behind a boost of radiance that legitimately looks like you actually slept eight hours.
BEST FIRMING EYE CREAM
Our La Prairie Skin Caviar Eye Lift ($505) testers saw tighter, brighter skin around their eyes in place of tiny lines and puffiness. One pump releases two types of caviar in a luxurious emulsion that smooths and defines.
BEST EYE CREAM FOR FINE LINES
Hardworking and hydrating Antipodes Kiwi Seed Oil Eye Cream ($46) contains brand favorites moisturizing avocado oil and New Zealand superfruit kiwi, a unique source of vitamins C and E. The cream is so popular, in fact, that one is sold every minute.
