BYRDIE: THESE ARE THE 18 BEST ANTI-AGING EYE CREAMS ON THE MARKET

 

The thin, delicate skin around the eyes is where signs of aging first start to appear. A good eye cream contains “active ingredients in concentrations specifically formulated for thin skin," explains New York-based dermatologist Kavita Mariwalla, MD. Eye creams are also formulated to minimize irritation to the skin around the eyes, which is more prone to sensitivity.

We went to work and tried a handful of top-rated eye creams spanning a range of budgets, skin types, and concerns. After using them for weeks at a time, our testers rated each formula's texture, skin-feel, and how well it diminished the signs of aging around the eyes. We then combined these results with the recommendations of board-certified dermatologists, Kavita Mariwalla, MD and Stacy Chimento, MD, as well as our own research to compile a list of the best in show.

WHAT OUR EDITORS SAY

"I never had darkness and puffiness beneath my eyes until suddenly I did. The Route's Sunny Eyes gave me visible improvements within weeks. I'm obsessed with using it in the morning to brighten. The tint is so radiant, I don't need to use concealer on top." — Jill Di Donato, Senior Commerce Editor
