Best Eye Cream 2024

I recently spent $30 on this and it's not moisturizing enough.

I've been looking for a new eye cream since Neutrogena discontinued their Q10 stuff about 10 years ago.

Dark circles could be signs of an allergy. Otherwise go to a cosmetics counter and ask about concealer. You need one that matches the undertone of your skin so you don’t end up with white raccoon eyes like a certain contender.

Eye creams are a scam, just use a regular moisturiser. Avoid anything hyping up caffeine, that's also a scam with no evidence to back it up (except in some very rare cases where a genetic condition is causing water retention in the under-eye area).

As always with skincare, nothing will cause miracles overnight. And if it does, it only means it chalk-full of microplastics that give off the temporary illusion of smoother skin. Use a moisturiser twice a day – *every single day* – for at least month, then report back. Ceramides, hyaluronic acid, panthenol... look for these ingredients, as high up on the ingredients list as possible.

Also, think about purchasing a collagen peptide powder. I started drinking it to help my joints because I'm a long-distance runner, and it rejuvenated my eye area in a month, it was kinda crazy the way it just erased my crow's feet. Collagen applied topically does nothing, however, so avoid those products.

No eye cream is going to do anything for dark circles.

For moisturizing the eye area, I find Clinique's DDML (the yellow stuff) to be very good around the eyes. Under eye area stays hydrated all day. Get a travel size tube of the LOTION at Ulta for $7 to try it out. Not to be confused with the gel or jelly which also come in little travel size tubes, the gel isn't moisturizing, and the jelly is more expensive.

Also, any of the Kiehl's face moisturizers are great around the yes as well as their avocado eye cream.

Be careful of milia from using eye cream. It clogs your pores.

Just use moisturizer on your face.

I second Kiehl’s… either the Age Defender Eye cream for regular moisturizing or the stuff that comes in an orange tube, I’m sorry I don’t remember the name, but it’s meant for dark eye bags.

For everything skin related, always make sure you cover the big five

1. Drink plenty of water

2. Sleep more, sleep longer

3. Use sun block and/or avoid the sun

4. For the eye area: Wear sunglasses all year

5. Don't smoke at all, don't drink too much

Clinique for men anti aging eye. No I'm not the Clinique troll! I also like Kiehl's. You need to get an spf 15 product too, to prevent more damage. Don't rub outward to apply the eye cream, rub inward and up.

I’ll get flamed for this because it’s so expensive, but the eye concentrate by La Mer actually works on my dark circles. If you want to save money, Bluemercury runs a 20% off sale a couple of times a year on all of its products, including La Mer. You have to join their rewards program to get the discount, but it’s free and they don’t spam you too much. For drugstore options I think Olay is really good, but it never helped me with dark circles.

Malin + Goetz Vitamin B5 Body Moisturizer. They also offer Vitamin E facial moisturizer but I've not used it; the tiniest bit of the B5 body stuff works remarkably well for me. A little pricey per tube (for me) but it lasts ages.

L'Oreal Hydra Energetic Daily Anti-Fatigue cream. A friend who hawks very expensive lotions, potions, and creams gave me some and insists it's the best. For me, it doesn't work as well as the above, but it does do work respectably well. And it's reasonably cheap.

How much does it cost R9? Are you male or female?

Like $250 maybe? Very expensive. I go through two jars a year, bought in the Bluemercury sale. I’m male. I’ve been dipping into my grandmother, mom, and sister’s products as far back as I can remember, so I feel like I’ve tried pretty much everything. (In my opinion, do not bother with the other La Mer eye cream. It did nothing for me.) It used to be you could sweet talk a salesperson at the counter into giving you a free sample, but the last time I was actually in a Nordstrom I could barely find anyone working there.

I like the Malin + Goetz cream mentioned above, but I’ve never used it on my face. I think I had an eye cream sample from them once but I don’t remember being blown away by it.

You all don't look a day over 21, so what are you worried about?

I don’t know about eye 👁 cream But I do know about the best ice cream –

i don't have a clue but what about those eye patches?

Olay Advanced Eye Cream got rid of my bags.

Lady Nicholas Fairford highly recommends..

OMG, r17. Who is that beautiful man getting splooged upon?

Another vote for Kiehl's.......and stay hydrated.

Thank you all for you responses. I think I’m going to go by Ulta and pick up Kiehls. The Roc equivalent just doesn’t look like it does anything.

[quote]I have dark circles and just look generally tired all the time around my eyes.

DL taught me that this is called having “asshole eyes”.

which one did you buy?

Hi uglies. I am 44 and pass for 7-8 years old in good lighting.

I know you want to be like me- so here is your chance!!!

This is how i do it!

I am not into jar anything for the face- but I tend to like the jar'ed eye creams.

Get something in a tube or pump if you can--

However this shit is also really great and you can get for 30%-40% off or more during sales-

The kiehls site just brought up a 25% coupon

I haven't had a decent night's sleep in 40 years. I look it.

Any specific suggestions to counteract that very tired eyes look? I'm already old enough and I'd rather not look any older than I'm predisposed to.

Other than surgery, you probably need something that tightens the eye area- google that! cream tightened eye area

I used to be a bossy shop bottom cosmetics sales bitch. Worked for Estée Lauder and Clarins many years ago. Clarins Double Serum Eye works the best out all the ones I’ve tried for darkness and fine lines, but getting enough sleep and not drinking too much are key.

Strivectin - Peptight 360 Degrees Tightening Eye Serum.

I use this daily and really notice a difference in the look and appearance of under eye puffiness and any dark circles. I like the metal applicator too. It literally helps depuff by pushing fluid from under your eyes out to each side.

Chock-full.

Jarred.

FUCK me!!!! I wrote JARRED and said this cannot be right and then said fuck it - jar'ed.

I spread Strivectin on my lady potato and made it as tight as a drum!!!!!

Highly recommended!

R9 If you want to try La Mer concentrate just to see if it works, you can also find less expensive travel sizes of it. I think you're supposed to be able to tell if it's doing anything for you after 21 days.

Amazon has a La Mer The Eye Concentrate .17oz / 5mL Deluxe Travel Size New Formula for $38.

You can find a smaller travel size (tube) at Walmart online for $16.95, but I'm thinking that size wouldn't last 21 days. (La Mer The Eye Concentrate 3 ml/0.1 fl oz Travel Size Tube)

"chalk-full"

Oh dear. It's "chock full."

Rentin A. Thread Closed

I use Retin- A , R35 very little wrinkles, but I do now have hollows. SPF every day.

I recommended Kiehls and Kjaer Weiss above, and did not want to mention this one-

But I do dig the La Mer Eye Concentrate. R33. The green stuff in the green jar. It is so expensive but i think it is awesome.

I use it twice a week and keep it in the fridge because it is so expensive. I actually wipe the wand with rubbing alcohol, to try to keep the shitty jar contents not destroyed.

Costco has the best price- or Saks around thanksgiving-

I've been using this regularly and I have to say wrinkles in my eye area have been very slow to develop. Recommended.

Preparation H.

And I don’t look a day over 8.

what about eye make up remover? best one and doesn't fuck up your fragile eye area.

I do not wear eyeliner, sir.

Chicks love that micellar water on Youtube!!! It starts with a B- Bio- something

Vaseline

R41 is right. I slug my Retin A with Vaseline.

If Trump decided to suspend the Constitution, who exactly would stop him? Republicans? That's a laugh. He'll pack the DOJ and Pentagon with his flunkies. Democracy will die under Trump.

R43- we are clearly both splitting time between eye care and the should Biden continue to run thread!

I am being called a Russian Troll.

La Mer Concentrate-

Retin-A-

and Trump is gonna win! Biden is fucked.

R28 if you are still around, what’s up with Clarins constantly changing the formulas? I stopped using them because each reworking was worse than three one before.

I’m here R45. I’m not sure what the latest reformulations are about but I assume it’s either cost of ingredients or they found a new, unique ingredient they think is better. Clarins tend to miraculously find new miracle plant derivatives every few years.

Back in the 90s when I worked for them, they reformulated the original Double Serum because the oil based half contained placenta extract and they copped a whole lot of flack about it.

Thanks, R28 R46. I used to love the firming eye cream, but the new formulation is not great.

[quote]Clarins Double Serum Eye works the best out all the ones I’ve tried for darkness and fine lines, but getting enough sleep and not drinking too much are key.

In other words - getting enough sleep, drinking lots of water and not drinking too much alcohol are key. Not expensive creams and potions.

I read an article that said vitamin k helps.

what about collagen supplements and powder? do those work?

Ha. Ironically I take both Vitamin K2 and Collagen (I use Youtheory)

People tell me i look 35-36, I am 44.

But they probably lying.

I use Retin A and sunscreen as well (since I was about 29-30)

^^Are.

Jesus Christ. I type like a 10 year old.

Sally’s Choice moisturizer and ROC u dear eye cream. Trust.

i am taking vital proteins collagen peptides. My hair seems to be growing faster

Eye cream notice - La Mer troll here. Bluemercury is having its summer sale. Instant 20% off the concentrate if you sign up for the rewards program.

Image vitamin c eye gel

R7 for the win.

Strivectin pep-tight eye cream

With regards to moisturizers and underage creams, my dermatologist told me "CeraVe makes everything you need. Don't waste your money on anything more expensive." But he also gave me a prescription for tretinoin (retinol).

Don't put Retin A anywhere near your eyes, dummies. Your eyes will dry into little raisins

It's all crap.

R59 has to chime in with his Walmart guide to skin care every time a skincare thread pops up.

I have morning and bedtime skin care routines, but for dark circles and puffy eyes I've had very good results with these products. All are part of my morning routine:

1.) Particle Face Cream for Men // 2.) The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Eye Serum // 3.) The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% EGCG

Little dabs of each of these products under the eyes goes a long way. You can buy Particle and The Ordinary products online directly from the manufacturers. Particle is also sold through Amazon and The Ordinary is available at Ulta.
