Our Best Eye Creams for Every Eye Concern

Maintaining a regular skin care routine is key if you want to help keep your complexion looking beautiful. That means washing your face with a facial cleanser morning and night, applying a serum that addresses your specific skin concerns, using the right face moisturizer for your skin type, slathering on a broad-spectrum sunscreen before you go outside (along with taking additional sun protection measures like limiting your time in the sun), and always, always taking your makeup off before you go to bed. But there’s one step you could be forgetting that can make a big difference in how your skin looks, and that’s applying eye cream. If you experience dark circles under the eyes, under-eye puffiness, or crow’s feet, you might want to consider adding an eye cream to your skin care routine. Ready to get to it? Keep reading for our best eye creams for every eye concern.

OUR BEST EYE CREAMS FOR DARK CIRCLES

The delicate skin around your eyes is particularly susceptible to the appearance of dark circles and fine lines and wrinkles. Enter the L’Oréal Paris RevitaLift Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Eye Cream, which can help reduce the appearance of dark circles, fine lines, and wrinkles with continued use over time. After cleansing, apply eye cream morning and night.

If you have dark circles and mature skin, try the L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Eye Renewal Eye Cream instead. Immediately, the eye area feels hydrated and looks smoothed, while the appearance of dark circles, under-eye bags, and crow’s feet is diminished with continued use over time. Every morning and evening, apply a small amount of eye cream around your entire eye area using your fingertips and pat gently until thoroughly absorbed.

Editor’s note: Don’t expect eye cream to immediately let you bid adieu to under-eye circles. If you need an instant fix, that’s what concealer is for! Here’s How to Conceal Dark Circles Under Your Eyes.

OUR BEST EYE CREAM FOR DRYNESS

When it comes to your skin, one thing is always for sure: dryness is not the goal. Not only is it uncomfortable, especially when it’s on or around your eye area, but if not addressed properly, it can lead to flaking. The skin around your eyes is thinner than the skin on the rest of your face, so it needs extra TLC—especially if you’re prone to dry skin. The L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Hydra Nutrition Manuka Honey Eye Gel is formulated with nurturing oils and manuka honey and can help hydrate your eye area. Plus, it has a rollerball wand, so application is quick and easy, even if you’re always on-the-go.

OUR BEST EYE CREAMS FOR UNDER-EYE BAGS

Don’t let under-eye bags get you down. Just look for an eye cream that can help minimize the appearance of puffy under-eyes, like the L’Oréal Paris RevitaLift Triple Power™ Eye Treatment. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, caffeine, and Pro-Xylane, this luxurious, lightweight eye cream can help reduce the appearance of under-eye bags, dark circles, and wrinkles with continued use over time. Bonus: This eye cream has a cooling applicator, which can help temporarily diminish the appearance of under-eye puffiness and dark circles. To use, gently massage the eye cream around your eye area until it’s absorbed. (Read up on How to Get Rid of Under-Eye Bags.)

We’ve got an option for dudes, too! Check out the L’Oréal Paris Men Expert™ Hydra-Energetic Ice Cold Eye Roller, which can help minimize the appearance of under-eye puffiness and dark circles with continued use over time.

OUR BEST EYE CREAMS FOR CROW’S FEET

Crow’s feet are those little lines that can appear around the corners of your eyes. The L’Oréal Paris RevitaLift Miracle Eye Blur is formulated with light-diffusing pigments that can help instantly reduce the signs of aging and fatigue around the eyes to create a younger-looking, radiant finish. The silky, hydrating formula glides onto skin for an immediate smoothing effect and cool, fresh finish. With continued use over time, the look of crow’s feet, dark circles, and under-eye bags are reduced.

For those who are 50 and up and dealing with crow's feet, try the L’Oréal Paris Wrinkle Expert 55+ Anti-Wrinkle Eye Treatment, which can help smooth their appearance with continued use over time.

OUR BEST EYE CREAM FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

Is your eye area more sensitive than other parts of your face? That’s normal, and don’t worry—we’ve got a gentle cream for that! The L'Oréal Paris Eye Defense cream is a lightweight and non-greasy gel-like cream that can help protect even the most delicate of under-eye areas.

Now the hardest decision: Which eye cream will you choose to add to your skin care routine? Pick one that suits your specific skin care concerns. Once you’ve decided, consider taking your skin routine to the next level by adding a night cream into the mix. Here’s How to Find the Best Night Cream for Your Skin Care Routine.
