Wrinkles, puffiness, crow’s feet, fine lines, dark circles. The eyes have it—when it comes to fighting against signs of aging and sun damage. Thankfully, there are a slew of products on the market to combat these issues. But, there are eye creams and then there are eye creams. We rounded up five multi-tasking gems each of which not only moisturize and fight wrinkles, but also packs a powerful second punch with ingredients that brighten, conceal, de-puff, and more.
The Concealer
Olay Regenerist Eye Touch of Concealer Eye Regenerating Cream | $19.99
Olay’s line of “Regenerist” products have been appreciated by many as an affordable and effective option for anti-aging treatments. The Eye Regenerating Cream Touch of Concealer is a standout, which hydrates and renews cell growth with an amino peptide and B3 complex while also functioning as a great concealer in its own right; it really helps mask those dark circles.
The De-Puffer
Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream | $30
Before you have your morning cup of coffee, try giving your eyes some caffeine, too, with a product like Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream. Its triple jolt of extracts from coffee beans, panax ginseng, and magnolia restricts blood vessels and tightens the skin to make eyes look smoother, brighter, and less “baggy.” So, even if you had a late night, no one will know it.
The Brightener
Korres Wild Rose Instant Brightening Eye Treatment | $35
Like most of its products, this all-natural beauty brand leaves out the parabens and silicone in its popular Wild Rose Instant Brightening Eye Treatment; instead Korres packs in wild rose oil, ruscus, and horse chestnut to help minimize the appearance of wrinkles and dark circles. The added rose-gold optical brighteners provide a second defense to instantly illuminate eyes and add an extra touch of highlighter.
The Contourer
Shiseido Future Solution LX Eye and Lip Contour Regenerating Cream | $130
A powerful product for lips and eyes? Yep, Shiseido has the balm. This rich Future Solution LX Eye and Lip Contour Regenerating Cream features the Japanese brand’s proprietary “Form Support Veil,” a blend of ingredients designed to firm and smooth the skin and fight free radicals. Apply it to the skin around the eyes and lips to fight sagging and the appearance of fine lines; we always appreciate the chance to tackle multiple problem areas with a single product.
The Sun Blocker
Clarins Sun Wrinkle Control Eye Contour Care SPF 30 | $32
Not every eye cream has SPF, although they should—the sensitive area around your eyes is the thinnest layer of your skin and most susceptible to damaging UV rays. Clarins Sun Wrinkle Control Eye Contour Care Ultra Protection SPF 30 corrects that with active ingredients that act both as a sunscreen and wrinkle-fighter. A win-win!
