The best hydrating eye creams we’ve tried yet
So gentle yet so effective. How do they do it?!
Real talk, the eye area is kind of needy. The skin there is a bit thinner than the rest of the face, making it even more susceptible to damage. Over time, the damage may show up a little more than we’d like it to. Think: Puffiness, dark circles, crow’s feet, wrinkles and fine lines. The good news: a moisturizing eye cream can help. Yay!
A consistent skin care routine, including a good eye cream, can truly keep the eye area hydrated, healthy and protected. If you want in and are curious to learn about eye cream for dry skin, here are some of our faves.
1. The super affordable one: Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Gel
This wallet-friendly pick soothes, revitalizes and energizes tired, puffy eyes. With natural extract from Brazilian yerba mate, it protects from oxidative damage to give you brighter under eye skin. Plus, it absorbs quickly, so you can quickly layer on your moisturizer and other products.
2. The long-lasting one: La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermallergo Eye Cream Repair Moisturizer for Dry Skin
Under eyes get dry as the hours pass? This soothing gel-cream gives under eye skin a burst of moisture that lasts and lasts. It contains calming niacinamide, hydration-rich shea butter and mineral-packed spring water. Together, they deliver intense moisture and protection. A great under eye cream for dry skin types, especially if you’re prone to sensitivity or irritation.
3. The collagen-boosting one: Olay Regenerist Collagen Peptide 24 Eye Cream
In our 40s and beyond, it’s all about a collagen-boosting product like this one. Every year we lose about 3% of our collagen, and by the time we’re 50, dermatologists say we have about half the collagen we had in our early 20s. But that doesn’t mean we can’t get a little help from the skin care aisle. This eye treatment helps replenish our collagen supply while keeping the eye area hydrated and bright.
4. The spa-vibes one: Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Hydra-Gel Eye Patches
Like a pro treatment at home. These ultra-soothing gel patches hydrate instantly thanks to a concentrated dose of hyaluronic acid. Collagen, ceramide NP and marshmallow root extract help to smooth and firm the eye area. Caffeine de-puffs and arnica brightens. Together, they work to deliver revitalizing, youth-boosting benefits. Plus, they feel ahhhmayyyyzing.
We hope this helps you find the perfect eye treatment for you. If you want to load up on a bunch, check out our Love Your Skin event for awesome deals on all things skin care. See you there!
