Maintaining a regular skin care routine is vital if you want to keep your complexion looking its best for years to come. This includes diligently wearing SPF, using a serum to address your specific skin concerns and always reaching for eye cream to treat your under-eyes.
While eye cream may feel unnecessary if you don’t experience dark circles, puffiness or crow’s feet, your under-eye area has very delicate and thin skin that ages quickly. Properly addressing this issue means finding a good, hydrating eye cream that can target your specific needs, so, keep reading as we share the best eye creams for several under-eye concerns.
The Best Eye Creams for Dark Circles
Eliminate any trace of late-night musings or lingering dark circles with the L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Rosy Tone Anti-Aging Eye Brightener. Formulated with imperial peony extract, this eye brightener has a creamy, whipped texture and a light pink tone that helps to instantly blur and color correct dark circles so you look awake and well-rested with each use. Apply it every morning, gently patting around the eye area with your finger and smoothing until absorbed.
The Best Eye Cream for Plumping and Brightening
For those who don’t like the feeling of a heavy eye cream, try the L’Oréal Paris RevitaLift Derm Intensives 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid + 1% Caffeine Eye Serum. This invigorating eye serum includes hyaluronic acid to help the delicate under-eye skin retain moisture and caffeine which is known to help combat puffiness and reduce the appearance of dark circles.
Plus, the triple roller applicator makes for a soothing, cooling treat that rivals your favorite face tool. Smooth the applicator over your eye area, massaging the serum into the skin with small circular motions.
The Best Eye Cream for Anti-Aging
If your eye concerns include dark circles, crow’s feet, under-eye bags, puffiness or crepey lids, then it’s time to make room on your top shelf for the L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Anti-Aging Eye Cream Treatment.

The Best Eye Cream for Under-Eye Bags
Our top pick for under-eye bags is the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Triple Power Eye Treatment. Formulated with the anti-aging holy trinity — hyaluronic acid, Pro-retinol and vitamin C — this luxurious, lightweight eye cream can help to reduce the appearance of under-eye bags, plus diminish dark circles and wrinkles.
The bonus: it has a cooling applicator for de-puffing and a fragrance-free formula that’s safe for sensitive eyes. Use the metal tip to massage the eye cream around your eye area until it is absorbed.
