Anti-Aging Eye Creams (That Actually Work)

Disclaimer: you might get asked to show your ID again

Eye cream is your best friend, ladies. Take it from Kim Kardashian who told US magazine, “I’ve got to start wearing more eye cream.”

The skin under your peepers is delicate and as you’ll well know, if you don’t get enough sleep or don’t drink enough water, it can result in bags, puffiness and dark circles.

Some of those problems are genetic and others are linked to lifestyle. Either way, if you want to give your visage some extra TLC, investing in an eye cream could make all the difference.

#5 L’Oréal Revitalift Eye Cream

The handy size and shape of L’Oreal Revitalift Eye Cream means you can apply a few dots straight to the contours of the eye then gently dab the product in with your fingers.

Helpful for reducing under eye bags, it can help firm up the delicate skin just under the eyes and stimulates circulation. Just use a teensy tiny bit and this will last for ages. 

Bek72 says, “After a month’s use, there is a visible improvement around my eyes, especially the laugh lines!”

RRP $44.95

#4 Skinceuticals A.G.E Eye Complex

A.G.E stands for Advanced Glycation End products, which in very basic terms means the end result of eating a sugary, fatty diet. There’s way more science to it but all you need to know is does Skinceuticals A.G.E Eye Complex work?

The answer is yes. It’s a bit dry in the pot but once you apply to warm skin it sinks in nicely. Dab a small amount around your eyes and start to say bye bye to dark circles and crows feet.

One reviewer says, “It instantly melts away my delicate under eye wrinkles and lasts all day. I can see a huge difference when I smile real big before and after dabbing it on. It has a velvety consistency and keeps the area moisturised all day.”

“I used to get botox but can’t anymore bc I’ve been trying to get pregnant and now I finally am, so this product is the only one that makes a real difference in the wrinkles. Very Happy.”

RRP $140

As well as the peptides, Endota’s Vita Peptide Eye Serum provides a hit of vitamin E and caffeine – a power combo that help to brighten the skin and freshen up your face.

One reviewer says, “After trying the eye serum for 2 weeks, I can see the results. When I apply to my under eye area I can see my puffy eyes reduced after a short while. Though I can’t see my fine lines reduced.”

#1 Clinique All About Eyes

More like a serum than an eye cream Clinique All About Eyes is a fast absorbing gel-cream that helps hydrate the eye area and can dissolve puffiness if you use it regularly.

Keep it in the fridge for an extra cooling boost. And if you love it, try the All About Eyes Serum De-Puffing Eye Massage roll on. You’ll need both after all those Christmas parties that are coming up!

Noob Housewife says, “I have been using this eye cream for over a year. It has kept dark circles and puffiness away, I use it twice daily. It is quite pricey but for the results, it is worth it. The skin around the eyes are very delicate and it doesnt feel heavy on unlike other brands I have tried.”

RRP $58
