Don't Skip Eye Cream – 9 Game Changing Options To Try

You won't regret adding this step to your skincare routine.
Don’t Skip Eye Cream – 9 Game Changing Options To Try
By Jamila Stewart · Updated August 2, 2022

We’re in the business of scoping out the best skincare and makeup tips and tricks to elevate your beauty routine from every angle, including keeping an eye out for the biggest trending beauty products on TikTok and more. It turns out, though, you may be skipping over a beauty step that’s been right under your nose (or above it) all this time – eye cream. It may come with an anti-aging connotation that suggests eye cream isn’t something to consider until later on in life, but let’s debunk that myth, as it comes with a plethora of benefits beyond just that.

There are number of reasons you might consider picking up the best eye cream you can find on the market – Yes, there is that anti aging, skin tightening, elasticity boosting element. Then, there’s also the skin tone evening, puffiness reducing, makeup prepping and dark circle eliminating properties eye cream comes with as well. It is one of those skin care products you have to be most careful with, though – being sure to pat, and not rub or pull (as the skin around the eye is thin and sensitive). Less is also more when it comes to eye cream, so as not to clog the skin (which only means more bang for your buck in every case). Ahead, we’ve rounded up a few eye creams that have the best rep for results – in other words, game changers – that you have to try.

01
Geologie Dark & Puffy Under Eye Cream

This cream tackles the dry, tired skin around the eyes with caffeine and kojic acid, earning a slew of 5-star ratings along the way.
