I confess, I’m late to the eye cream<\/a> game. As a mere 25-year-old, my attitude towards eye care thus far has been pretty lax. At a recent facial appointment though, my facialist pointed out the first faint whispers of wrinkles around my eyes\u00a0and all but yelled at me to start stepping up my game. Here began my quest to find the very best eye formulas on the market. I’ve since tried oils, balms, creams and serums, each promising to banish dark circles (impossible, btw, but more on this later), depuff, soothe, etc., etc. \u2013 you know the drill. After putting them all to the test, I’ve rounded up the best eye creams below.<\/p>\n

First, though, we need to clear some things up: how should you apply your eye cream? One would think it an easy task \u2013 simply dab onto under-eyes and go, right? Wrong. According to Tata Harper \u2013 founder of Tata Harper Skincare<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 you should be slathering eye cream onto your under-eyes, eyelids, lips and<\/em> between your brows. There are a few reasons for this: eye creams are often formulated to plump and smooth fine lines by stimulating collagen and elastin production. This plumping effect can be beneficial across other areas of your face, especially on delicate areas like your lips, because eye creams are formulated for such similarly fragile skin. In fact, wrinkles first tend to form on your eyes and<\/em> lips due to a breakdown in collagen from constant movement, and they both lack oil glands, which is why the one formula works so well across both areas.<\/p>\n

Applying eye cream to lips is nothing new for those in the know, with makeup artists swearing by this neat little trick for years, as it can give a smooth, hydrated base for later lip makeup. Influencer Rachel Finley<\/a> is known to love multitasking her eye cream, and Hilary Duff says eye cream has been game-changing for her smile lines.<\/p>\n
