Dreaming of a fresh and youthful eye look without puffiness, dark circles, or sagging skin around the eyes? Then you've come to the right place. In this article, we share 9x approved eye creams that, according to honest reviews, visibly reduce signs of fatigue and strengthen the delicate skin. From brightening eye creams to firming serums, these products promise a radiant and energized look.
This one is my favorite too! I really notice a difference when I used this eye cream. The skin under my eyes looks a lot fresher, bags seem less. You have them in 2 colors. I use the warm shade myself
I've never smeared a delicious cream on my face. 1. You need very little of the product. 2. You can easily smear it over your face and 3. It pulls into your skin incredibly fast. This is an ideal cream as a primer.
I tried a sample of this and it worked GREAT! Samples don’t really work that well for me but I noticed a difference after first use! Amazing product
#summerhonesty
What a special eye cream. It has a very subtle shimmer that actually makes you glow under eye. It really immediately gives an 'I'm awake fresh & fruity' look. I also did a bit on the inside of the corners of my eyes. Just like if you were to apply a highlighter.
It is a somewhat thicker cream that I first warm thoroughly between my fingertips and then apply under my eyes with a patting motion.
This one is very nice for the summer because I don't wear much makeup. It gives me just that little bit extra. So I'm secretly quite impressed.
Switched from Level to the Origins brand. Incredibly nice eye cream with only natural products. I get up in the morning with fewer dark circles around my eyes.
Puffy eyes in the morning? According to honest reviews, this refreshing eye cream from Origins is an energy boost for tired eyes. With ingredients like caffeine and panax ginseng, it helps reduce dark circles and firm the skin around the eyes.
A big favourite among Eves-members: this rich eye cream
I've always had thin and dry skin under my eyes, but since using Shiseido eye cream, I've noticed a big improvement. The formula of the cream feels very nice and hydrating on the skin. The cream is also pleasant to apply with the application stick that comes with it. In addition, I noticed that the creasing of my concealer under my eyes has significantly reduced since using this product. You also need little product, so the jar lasts a long time. Definitely recommended!
Purchased about 3 weeks ago at one of the national perfumeries in our country after doing some research on the internet. Quite a gamble, because I hadn't tested any samples and the cream isn't necessarily cheap. So it's been using it for three weeks and I have to say: very happy with this! I have some fine ribbons around the eyes, which are especially visible when laughing. My skin under the eyes is thin and tends to dry, so I can hardly use concealer (both pore and liquid), because fine lines are accentuated even faster.
I now use this cream twice a day and also just apply my makeup over it in the morning. In between, I'll let it soak in for a few minutes. That's going really well. It does make the skin shine a bit, but I don't find that annoying. Lines are slightly less visible.
I even got compliments a few times that I looked good, so guess the cream really works:D
The pot is small but you only need a very small amount, it smells good and spreads well, absorbs immediately if you don't use too much of it. It is definitely recommended, although it is quite expensive, it will take you a long time, I am very happy that I got to test this cream.
I got to test this product and I'm more enthusiastic than I thought. This cream absorbs well and ensures that the skin under the eyes is and stays hydrated. It remains greasy, which I personally really like. For example, my makeup/concealer fits nicely and the skin looks less dry.
What a great eye cream this is. I was allowed to test it but I absolutely love it. It's the first eye cream I use that actually helps with under-eye circles. I'm not really afraid to say fine lines yet. Skin stays hydrated for a long time. I will definitely buy these even when my jar is empty.
The rich Shiseido Wrinkle Smoothing Eye Cream promises to address all signs of aging around the eyes. Dark circles? Wrinkles? Sagging skin? Shiseido to the rescue! Not surprising, then, that it's rated nearly 5(!) stars.
Go chic with this Dior eye serum
I absolutely love this product!! It has a subtle, light scent, whilst on the face. Feels very light on my skin, and it smooths in lovely. It has not caused any breakouts. It many be a little more expensive, but totally worth your money! I’d buy it again!!!
This serum is by far one of the best That I’ve tried. I have sensitive skin and this serum is very gentle on the skin as all ingredients that Dior uses on this brand comes from their own “farm” in Madagascar. It leaves my skin soft, dewy, and radiant. The smell is also so amazing. Definitely feels luxurious
This product is a little bit expensive however it is worth every penny it is going to last you ages! The formula is not sticky, it’s smooth and blends into the skin without fault. There is a little scent to it but it is a pleasant scent. Dior have our done themselves with this product!
I love everything about this serum and haven’t found anything comparable yet. It leaves your skin feeling luxurious and amazing and really does make it look nicer after just one use. One other thing I love loads about this range is the amazing scent … I just love smelling this when I put it on my face :)
Really liked using this product. Left my skin looking really nice and bright. Skin felt a lot softer than before. Great packaging. Just the right size for any handbag. Can use day or night. Face looks great. Would recommend to all my family and friends.
This luxurious eye serum from Dior promises to target all signs of aging around the eyes. This helps alleviate tired eyes, making you feel instantly fresher and more radiant in the morning. A true treat for the skin.
Investing in a good eye cream?
I've been using the product for a few days now and it's a really nice product. It's a 15 ml bottle, which I think is enough because you only need a small amount of it every day. It has a fresh scent that doesn't bother. I can already notice a lot of difference after applying it after a few days, even though I sincerely always have very dark circles. I've tried a number of other products for my puffiness before but none do what this one does. All in all, a great product and I will definitely buy it again.
I've been testing this cream for a few weeks and it has certainly become a regular part of my skincare routine.
I'm new to this cream and brand, but I think it's a very high-quality cream. I apply a small amount under my eyes every day and I immediately feel my skin is hydrated.
Moreover, it also has a nicer scent than my eye cream that I had before.
So I'm satisfied with it and definitely recommend it 💕
I really like this AGE Advanced eye cream! I've been using the eye cream for about 3-4 weeks and now I'm starting to see a nice difference! Unfortunately, I regularly have circles under my eyes and this bothers me very much. I notice that my eyes are more hydrated and have an anti-aging effect! Definitely recommended!
If only I had taken pictures before, I thought after testing this product. It took a while before it started to do anything, but once it became visible, wow! Just wow. No puffiness, no wrinkles or lines under and beside my eye, nothing. I honestly look 10 years younger!
It has a pleasant texture, is also easy to spread and is almost odourless. Despite my sensitive skin, I do not react to this product, which is also very nice!
Highly recommended!
I shared this eye cream with my mom and we both fell in love.
Her eyes were visibly less tired and also much softer. Her “puffy” eyes were visible after a few days.
My skin under my eyes became much smoother and softer.
We can't fully see the anti-aging effect yet as we're going to test it for longer, but for how it stands, it certainly works very well!
It is a thick cream for those who want to know, so definitely recommended to apply it in the evening.
Eves-members who use this eye cream indicate that it's truly worth the investment. It may be on the pricey side, but with consistent use, wrinkles and dark circles under the eyes diminish, and the skin becomes smoother. Fresh look, here we come!
This keeps your skin hydrated all day long
For someone who had been looking for eye cream that didn't sting sensitive eyes for years, this was a real God-Send! It is light because of its watery gel texture. For someone with normal to oily skin, it can be used perfectly on its own as an eye cream. I use it as a serum, with a slightly heavier gel cream on top. It refreshes your eyes and feels like a wake-up call for your undereyes. I think I'm already on my 5th bottle...
Very fluid colorless serum in a small bottle with pump. Using a small amount of pump per eye is sufficient. It is very easy to apply and absorbs quickly, so you can quickly apply the next layer of cream or, for example, your lash serum. I use it in combination with the facial serum.
I brought this mineral 89 eye serum as I have fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes.
I have been using it for a month every day and night, and am noticing the difference. My fine lines are looking smoother and after using this eye serum it gives the area a nice bright look.
This serum contains mineralised water, hyaluronic acid and caffeine.
It is not thick, so absorbs very easily, it is also non greasy nor sticky.
My eye area is less dry and it has not caused me any irritations, especially as I am a contact lens wearer.
What I also love about this serum is that it is dermatologically tested as well as ophthalmology tested to.
I purchased this Vichy Mineral 89 Eyes, Repairing Eye Fortifier as I needed some help for my eye area and I had some reviews for this one.
I applied morning and evening over the past couple of weeks and already I have seen a noticeable difference my eye area is looking brighter and my dark circles are diminished. I have found it really hydrating especially after using eye make up remover. It really feels refreshing and hydrating for up to 24 hours
Vichy’s cult-favourite Minéral 89 Serum, now in a cream format. Suitable for all skin types, the gentle moisturiser utilises a skin quenching blend of hyaluronic acid and squalane to help lock in hydration for up to 72 hours. The cream melts into the skin, offering long-lasting nourishment. Complete with vitamins B3 and E, the refreshing formula protects against environmental aggressors, while supporting a dewy, plumper-looking complexion. Pair with the Minéral 89 Serum for an added boost of moisture. #SkincareIsTheBestCare.
Do you have sensitive skin around your eyes? According to honest reviews, this product strengthens the skin and gives it a rested appearance. This way, that delicate skin stays hydrated all day long.
This cream is infused with caffeine
This stuff is incredible. Lovely light texture so no milia around the eyes. Doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. Absorbs quickly. Feels nice and cool and really helps get rid of my morning puffiness. Never pills and has worked well with a variety of other skincare products and brands that I’ve used it with.
I've always had dark bags under my eyes. And really wanted something that would work to make me look less tired. Then I already received this recommendation and this is really great. The cream absorbs quickly so I can go straight through and doesn't stick. I also get less comments about whether I'm tired since you don't see it anymore!
Gotta be the best eyecream i have ever used.
It made my undereyes extremely bright. It helped with my dark circles!!!!! I have a really bad sleep schedule and istg it not only helped with the dark circles but also made my eyes appear less tired. I used to wake up with puffy undereyes but it disappeared as soon as i started using it.
TIP: PUT IT IN THE FRIDGE FOR 20-25 MINUTES BEFORE USE SO IT IS COLD AND NICE.
100% recommend!!
Since I have swapped my eye cream to this one I could never go back. I have super sensitive eyes and have had reactions to other eye creams in the past but never this one! The way it brightens my dark circles immediately is amazing and it makes my concealer sit so much nicer and reduces creasing. Truly amazing product!!!
This eye cream its part of my daily skin care routine. I use it in the morning and evening. It helped reduce my dark circles and puffy eyes. It moisturises my skin as well so no need to use another eye moisturiser on top of it. Little hack; keep it in the fridge! It really makes it more effective, especially in the morning :) Value for money, realy worth the price. It don't cost a bomb either! I like handy tube and the design of it too. Classy and simple but eye-catching ;)
Not in the mood for a coffee break, but still want to be awakened by caffeine? Give yourself the necessary caffeine boost with this Inkey List eye cream. According to honest reviews, the cream absorbs quickly and brightens the skin under the eyes.
Avocado and shea butter are the secret of this eye cream
Of the many eye creams I've tried, I really like this one the best! It lasts a long time and it is a great cream for both the evening and the morning. Absorbs well and also goes well with makeup under your eyes. I always warm it up between my fingers though, and I'll immediately see an enlightening result!
I've really been crazy about the brand recently, I just invested in the day cream with SPF, and I also bought this one. I think it's very nice to apply. Like it melts into your skin. I often have sensitive eyes and red edges on the outside when it gets dryer and this cream really helps
I got the routine to try out because my skin looks really awful.
I suffer from impurities and I can't control it.
I've been using this routine recently and I'm happy with it.
My skin hasn't improved extremely yet, but I find the textures very nice and pleasant to use.
I'm now using kiehl's for the first time and I have to say I'm really surprised by the products.
I would definitely recommend them and I can't wait for my skin-improving effects ☺️
I never used eye cream before I tried this as a sample, I love it and had to buy it when it was on sale. It's so moisturising and definitely creamy without being heavy. I wear it under makeup and it stops my makeup settling into lines around my eyes.
I know the most important part of the face is eye area as it needs more moisture than the rest to avoid wrinkles around,
This product gives your eyes what you need,
It makes the area smooth and moisture and you don’t need to apply few times, only add this product your morning and night routine,
Definitely recommended
More than 50 Eves-members are fans of this gentle eye treatment from Kiehl's. Thanks to the avocado oil and shea butter, your skin feels smoother, and fine lines become less visible. Oh, and it's also said to work against impurities!
This eye serum works wonders, according to Eves-members
This eye serum is amazing! I’ve totally run out and need to buy more ! I use this on a morning along side the double serum face and it’s not oily but super hydrating. The duo phase is great and gives you hydration with the added bonus of the Serum. I will definitely be purchasing again !
Love this serum.
Thanks to its 2 phases, it is a serum and a care product at the same time and smells wonderful.
The eye area feels wonderfully moisturized and radiant.
A great feeling, especially in summer.
Not too greasy, just perfect
#SkincareIsTheBestCare
This is a perfect combination of serum and cream. My skin feels very nurturing and hydrated. It makes your skin glow under your eyes. You have very little options, even with the samples you can do more than once. The scent is also lovely and not too dominant.
I've been using this eye serum for 3 weeks. What a lovely serum. It is a cream and serum in a pump. You'll notice a difference right away. Even the small wrinkles under my eyes are only slightly visible. I definitely recommend this one. A top product. The use: you only need very little.
I tried (received when I purchased) samples of the Eye Double Serum and I was positively surprised 🤩 didn't expect it to work so well! This product is a mix of serum and cream in one. Smells nice. You might use an eye cream as an extra care.
Should I buy this product? Sure!
Curious why this eye serum has been rated nearly 5 stars? Eves-members are excited about the convenient pump and mention that you only need a small amount of product to make the skin under your eyes feel softer and more hydrated.
Soothing, softening, and protective eye care?
I love this eye cream. It spreads very well, it is super soft and the skin around my eyes feels very soft, tight and refreshing after applying it. I don't feel like the color of my bags is getting much less, but the puffy ones are getting a lot less!
Nice greasy cream that doesn't stick. Feels refreshing under the eyes and the next day I notice that I wake up brighter. Without very thick eyes with circles underneath. What I also really appreciate about it is that the perfume is free because my skin responds more quickly to it. It is a small pot but you can use it for a long time.
I have very sensitive skin. The cream has been part of my daily routine for many years. Super moisturizing cream, absolute purchase recommendation
I've been taking this day cream for years and I'm very satisfied because the cream does not contain perfume. Very fast delivery.
This eye cream works great and does not cause an allergic reaction. Smears wonderfully. You need very little of it. I also used it after eyelid correction. The price is also not too bad for the product you get for it. So this product gets a 10 from me.
The first eye cream I use to combat first wrinkles and dark circles. The cream feels soft and nourishing but not greasy. Dark circles are less bright and fine lines also disappear. I have very sensitive eyes and I respond well to this. I will continue to use this cream!
A popular eye cream among Eves-members is this one from Clinique. Thanks to a powerful cocktail of antioxidants and anti-irritants, it soothes, softens, and protects, quickly reducing swelling around your eyes. The result? A fresh, awake look!
