5 firming skin care products that really work
Looking for the best skin tightening creams? Consider this your shopping list. The last one is shockingly good.
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. Olay Ultimate Eye Cream
We couldn’t say it better than this reviewer did if we tried. According to Lookingyoung from Massachusetts, “this eye cream is life. My always, daily, don't-leave-home-without-it absolute must have. I turn 47 this year and have ZERO wrinkles around my eyes. I attribute that to the fact that I've been using Olay since I was in my 20's and use this wonder product daily.” Thanks to niacinamide and peptides, it helps to soften and prevent wrinkles, de-puff the under-eye area and create a brighter, refreshed look.
2. Dermalogica Phyto Nature Firming Serum
This innovative formula works in phases to help repair and protect skin from loss of firmness and elasticity. It’s packed with superpower ingredients like brightening Camu Camu, revitalizing Madagascar coffee bean and neutralizing Moroccan rockrose extract. Guests say they see a subtle difference after one use (!!!), but its after four weeks of sticking to it that you’ll really see the magic happen. Pricewise, it's a splurge. But a little goes a long way.
3. IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream Anti-Aging Hydrating Moisturizer
This one has earned legions of fans for its tightening and youth-boosting effects. Niacinamide helps even skin tone and soften wrinkles. Squalane hydrates and strengthens the skin barrier. A peptide-lipid complex helps boost elasticity, firmness and smoothness. Ceramides lock in hydration. And hyaluronic acid creates a quenched, plumped effect. The light citrusy scent is a mood booster, too.
4. Kinship Self Reflect Probiotic Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 32
Using daily sunscreen is key to maintaining firm, healthy, youthful skin. Why? Because sun damage impacts skin at even the deepest layers, making it less resilient to gravity. The good news: Wearing SPF every single day can prevent that from happening. For double protection, choose a formula that also supports your skin barrier, like this one! Bonus points because it is reef-safe, feels amazing and blends in like a dream.
5. Crepe Erase Ultra Body Smoothing Trio
We show our face a lot of love, but don’t forget the rest! This exfoliating and hydrating trio takes care of everything below the neck. AHAs and BHAs remove dullness and stimulate collagen production. Oil-rich cream seals in moisture. Your skin is left feeling smooth, silky and noticeably plumped.
