BeautyHack Editors' Choice: 30 Best Eye Creams
BeautyHack editors and columnists share the products that actually get rid of dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines.
Silicium Eye Cream, Thalgo
BeautyHack editor Anastasia Speranskaya:
“A product with a melting texture and a funny name - cream with silicon, it immediately became my indispensable weapon against the first wrinkles.
Thalgo cosmetics are made on the basis of seaweed and plant extracts, and this cream is no exception: it contains marine silicon, which tightens the skin and fills wrinkles. The “neighbor” of silicon in the composition is hyaluronic acid. It moisturizes and restores the skin around the eyes, and also eliminates signs of fatigue. The result was noticeable from the first use: I applied the product at night, and in the morning I looked rested, as if I had slept for the entire eight hours. Since the cream is intended for aging skin, I recommend that young girls use courses so as not to overload their face.”
Price: 4,000 rub.
Resveratrol [Lift] Eye Lifting Balm, Caudalie
BeautyHack editor Anastasia Speranskaya:
“We have a particularly warm relationship with Caudalie cosmetics - I love it for its natural plant extracts and essential oils.
The composition of the eye contour balm generally sounds like poetry: it contains a complex of hyaluronic acids and grapevine resveratrol (in other words, an antioxidant). The texture of the product resembled a gel rather than a balm: it is absorbed very quickly, without the feeling of a film. Therefore, it has received a well-deserved place on the cosmetic table - I apply it before makeup, and sometimes on top of it during the day.
The balm promises to deal not only with wrinkles around the eyes, but also with nasolabial folds, so I confidently use it on both areas.”
Price: 3,350 rub.
Cream for eyelids and areas around the eyes “Rose”, Ausganica
BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova:
“One of the main advantages of the product is its composition. It contains 100% natural extracts (olives, roses, jojoba, aloe vera and a dozen other components) that smooth out facial wrinkles and tighten the skin. It is for those who have already formed facial wrinkles. But it will also be useful for girls who have just begun to develop such wrinkles, as a prevention and detox.
The cream gently moisturizes the skin due to hyaluronic acid in the composition, nourishes the skin and has a pleasant smell. I used it as night and day care and it absorbs quickly. Can be applied as a base for shadows - they do not roll off and blend well.
The cream also gives a lifting effect. After a week of regular use, the result is already noticeable: the skin looks more toned.
Price: from 4970 rub.
Eye Cream, 3Lab
BeautyHack editor-in-chief Karina Andreeva
“Almost every girl dreams of trying 3Lab products at least once in her life (and also finding out whether the high price corresponds to the quality!). WW Eye Cream is perfect for any age. We all live in the frantic rhythm of the city, rarely get enough sleep, and often complain about dark circles under our eyes. The product contains the ingredient Nano-Claire GY™, patented by 3LAB®, which at the cellular level can reduce and prevent the appearance of facial and chronological wrinkles, as well as strengthen the cellular matrix of the skin. The composition also contains Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): it controls the production of melanin, and also neutralizes the negative effects of the environment and fights dark circles and swelling. I tried this cream for the first time when I slept 3-4 hours a day all week. It gives a wow effect: after half an hour you can already notice that the swelling has subsided, the skin has smoothed out, and not a trace of the bags remains (the formula contains Portulaca extract, a highly effective anti-inflammatory agent). It is absorbed quickly, does not have any special smell, and does not leave a greasy film. It’s also great to apply 10 minutes before foundation and concealer.”
Price: 26,435 rub.
Vitamin serum for the eye area V7 Spot Eraser, Dr. Jart
BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova:
“A real vitamin boost for the skin around the eyes! The serum successfully fights dark circles and fine wrinkles. After a week of use I see noticeable improvements. There is a cumulative effect. After one and a half to two months, Dr. Jart promise that circles will practically disappear.
I apply the serum using the built-in applicator using massage movements. Be careful: when pressed, quite a lot of product is squeezed out. Don’t worry, the product is economical and will last for a full course - the kit includes a replaceable unit. The serum is absorbed long enough, but does not leave a sticky feeling.”
Price: about 1200 rub.
Retinol Eye Gel, Skincare cosmetics
BeautyHack special correspondent Nastya Lyagushkina:
“The texture of the gel is similar to jelly, green in color with golden balls inside, which, as I understand, are retinol.
I take a very small amount of the product and apply it to the skin under the eyes with massage movements before going to bed. With light friction, the balls dissolve and the gel is quickly absorbed.
In the morning, the skin is moisturized, and the face looks fresh and rested.”
Price: about 2000 rub.
Anti-aging serum Age-Delay Eye Serum Caviar de Russie, Natura Siberica
BeautyHack special correspondent Nastya Lyagushkina:
“The product has cool packaging: matte, it’s pleasant to touch, and the serum has a convenient applicator. The product is very delicate in texture, applies easily, moisturizes the skin and is quickly absorbed. Smells like spa cream.
I confidently apply it morning and evening. There is no feeling of a film on the face. The composition contains vitamins A and E, extracts of Siberian herbs and algae from the Faroe Islands. The main innovation of the product is the Regu-Age complex: it removes swelling and dark circles, helping the skin receive more oxygen.”
Price: 1500 rub.
Brightening eye cream Eye Expert Dual Eye, Vprove
BeautyHack special correspondent Nastya Lyagushkina:
“This is a two-in-one product: cream and concealer. To use the first one, you need to unscrew the washer with concealer. The product has a very light, bitter floral scent. The cream nourishes, moisturizes, gives the skin radiance and relieves puffiness.
The concealer is applied with a roller applicator. It completely hides the bruises, the eyes seem to become brighter. The product is suitable for all skin types!”
Price: 1950 rub.
A Perfecting Eye Cream, Ultraceuticals
BeautyHack editor-in-chief Karina Andreeva:
“It’s a small tube, but the product is used very sparingly. One press gives the right amount of cream at a time. More like a gel - when applied you feel a slight cooling effect. Contains encapsulated retinol, shea butter, bisabol. The product soothes delicate skin.
I applied it once a day for a week, and my eyes became noticeably fresher and the puffiness disappeared. It’s convenient to use before concealer - it enhances its effect, dark circles under the eyes become less pronounced.”
Price: 6,600 rub.
Refreshing gel against bags under the eyes Hydra Végétal, Yves Rocher
BeautyHack editor Yulia Kozoliy:
“I always deal with such products in the same way and very quickly. As soon as the gel fell into my hands, it immediately went into the refrigerator, where it is now stored. I really love the feeling of freshness around my eyes in the morning. It is the dense gel textures that give the right “chill.” In the composition I found extracts of Madagascar tea and blue agave leaves - familiar components for Yves Rocher products protect cells from moisture loss. There is also caffeine, which tones the skin.
The gel has an elongated applicator, so it won’t work for a light massage. I do it with my hands, and when the gel is absorbed (and it will be absorbed if you don’t apply too much), I apply concealer. It gives a good matte effect and no swelling.”
Price: 840 rub.
Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado, Kiehl's
BeautyHack editor Yulia Kozoliy:
“I only use this product in the evening. It has a thick oily texture that does not absorb immediately. After applying the cream there is a feeling of a mask, which is very useful at the end of the day. The consistency of the product resembles avocado puree, which is not surprising, because its main component is avocado oil. After two weeks of use, I already saw a difference: fatty acids and shea butter made the skin nourished and moisturized.
And the product is also very economical. It is available in two miniature sizes: 15 and 28 ml. – both fit perfectly into a travel cosmetic bag. In this case, you only need a pea of cream, it is very dense and really “drives” into the skin with light patting movements.”
Price: 2250 rub.
Rich Eye Contour Cream, Egia
BeautyHack editor Natalia Kapitsa:
“I don’t suffer from dry skin around my eyes, but with the onset of cold weather it needs special care and hydration. Rich Eye Contour Cream is a light-textured product that is practically odorless (this is a separate plus!).
The cream is easy to apply and works well with cosmetics - it does not “float”. Contains: phyto-oils, antioxidants that fight free radicals, peptides with moisturizing properties. The effect is cumulative. After a week of regular use, fine wrinkles are smoothed out and swelling disappears. The skin around the eyes looks well-groomed and healthy.”
Price: 3220 rub.
Aox Eye Gel, SkinCeuticals
BeautyHack editor Natalia Kapitsa:
“Antioxidant gel for the skin around the eyes is applied in the morning. Its main function: protecting the delicate area from free radicals, reducing puffiness and dark circles. The gel contains ascorbic acid - when squeezed out, it instantly turns yellow, but does not leave circles. Aox Eye Gel has a characteristic pharmaceutical smell - it disappears 2-3 minutes after application.
The effect is noticeable after several days of use - not even a hint remains of the traces of sleepless nights and several flights.”
Price: 5641 rub.
Cream Hydraphase Intense Eyes Rehydration Anti-Puffiness, La Roche Posay
BeautyHack editor Natalia Kapitsa:
“Products from this brand often become “long-lived” on the bathroom shelf. Hydraphase Intense Eyes cream with a light, gel-like texture moisturizes well without leaving a greasy film. Main active ingredients: soy protein, caffeine with antioxidant properties, hyaluronic acid. The cream is quickly absorbed and not sticky at all. For lovers of lightness and a pronounced moisturizing effect, this is an ideal option.”
Price: 1976 rub.
Eye cream against dark circles and swelling Bioregene Creme Anti-Cernes, Cholley
BeautyHack editor Yulia Kozoliy:
“This cream is part of the Bioregene series for dehydrated, sensitive, dry skin. For me it is normal, but, of course, the area around the eyes needs care. After using the cream, the Swiss brand Cholley promises to make it moisturized and improve microcirculation. That is, I was waiting to get rid of bruises, swelling and a tired look. And I waited! Swelling goes away immediately, and bruising decreases after a couple of weeks. How it works? The composition contains horse chestnut extract (improves microcirculation), the herbal ingredient arbutin (brightens the skin) and hyaluronic acid. By the way, about the ingredients. There are practically no synthetic components in Cholley products.”
Price: 5600 rub.
Eye cream Sublimage, Chanel
BeautyHack editor-in-chief Karina Andreeva:
“This is the third generation of the Sublimage line. This year's new product, La Créme Yeux, was created by the Chanel Research Center with enviable diligence. A special chrono-extraction technology was invented that makes it possible to extract the main active component of the cream - planifolia ephemera (molecules available in the vanilla pod before ripening). They normalize microcirculation, reduce puffiness and dark circles under the eyes.
2 in 1 product: cream and mask. If you want sos-restoration and radiance of the skin, apply La Créme Yeux in a thick layer, leave for 10 minutes and remove with a cotton pad, moving from the inner corner of the eye to the outer. The set includes a special applicator for applying cream and massage.
Take note: light pats on the upper and lower eyelids activate microcirculation, smoothing the area between and under the eyebrows strengthens the skin, and sliding movements with the applicator on the lower eyelid removes signs of fatigue. The cream has a light texture, I use it morning and evening, massaging it into the skin with my fingertips.”
Price: 6999 rub.
Cream for the skin around the eyes “Moisturizing Expert” 24 hours, L'Oreal
BeautyHack special correspondent Daria Mironova:
“The product is enclosed in a cardboard box and cellophane packaging, so when purchasing you will definitely be sure of its safety. The jar is made of lightweight plastic - it is convenient to take on trips.
The cream is white, odorless and has a delicate texture. I applied the product with my fingers, took a pea-sized amount and spread it over the skin around the eyes. I'm 20 years old and don't have any visible wrinkles yet. The cream moisturizes my skin perfectly, I will use it in the cold autumn, and for the winter I will look for something nourishing.”
Price: 250 rub.
Revitalizing eye cream, Dr.Konopkas
BeautyHack special correspondent Daria Mironova:
“Cream in a convenient soft plastic tube. In the bathroom, it is better to store it on a shelf rather than placing it vertically so that it does not fall. The consistency of the product is very light, it is quickly absorbed and well moisturizes the skin around the eyes.
The cream has a natural aroma - a mix of herbs and flowers. Plus: the product really nourishes the skin, so you can safely use it in cold weather for prevention, even if you have no visible deficiencies.”
Price: 200 rub.
Eye Balm, Skinceuticals
BeautyHack columnist and beauty blogger Elvira Chabakauri:
“Finding the right eye cream is a whole story for me (and others!)! Everyone loves the lightest possible means: manufacturers rely on them. But I love rich ones, and only these suit my dry skin, and this is already minus 2/3 of the products on the market. Even if the product has a rich texture, it does not always pass the following test: it burns the face or irritates the eyes after application. For me, the exception is Eye Balm.”
Price: 5078 rub.
Gel Caress de Lotus, Kenzoki
BeautyHack special correspondent Moore Soboleva:
“This weightless gel, narcotically smelling of lotus, is aimed primarily at hydration. It absorbs very quickly, instantly smoothing the skin, and the ceramic applicator gently cools the skin, reducing swelling. The skin under the eyes feels smoother and reflects light better immediately after use. The product is so lightweight that it can be used over makeup with minimal risk of concealer smearing.”
Price: 1920 rub.
Eye Cream, Somme Institute
BeautyHack special correspondent Moore Soboleva:
“The creators of the brand invented and patented MDT5™ technology, which allows a complex of five essential vitamins (A, B3, B5, C and E) and proteins to penetrate deep into the skin without losing active concentrations. The brand has a small assortment; there is one product for each stage of care. The eye cream does it all - strengthens, brightens the skin, tones and reduces wrinkles. Indeed, the composition of the product is impressive - there is niacinamide, caffeine, and even a small concentration of glycolic acid.”
Price: 6900 rub.
Cream against dark circles under the eyes Mission Perfection Yeux, Clarins
BeautyHack special correspondent Moore Soboleva:
“The French brand released two new products for the eyes this spring - one with anti-aging effect, which I will talk about later, and Mission Perfection Yeux cream to reduce dark circles. Mission Perfection Yeux is tinted and contains silicones in its composition - so your eyes really immediately look more rested. It also has SPF15, a rarity in the world of eye products.”
Price: 3400 rub.
Cream mask Reine Blanche Illuminating Eye Care & Mask, L'Occitane
BeautyHack Special Correspondent Moore Soboleva:
“The newest line of L'Occitane is all designed for whitening, radiance, and evenness of the skin. One of the most interesting characters in the series is a cream mask with tonic extracts in its composition, packaged in tubes with a massage applicator. The product can be used daily in the morning and evening, or applied twice a week in a thick layer as a mask.”
Price: 3550 rub.
Yuza Sorbet Eye Gel, Erborian
BeautyHack Special Correspondent Moore Soboleva:
“The extract of the Asian citrus yuzu contains a lot of vitamin C - it is an excellent antioxidant and one of the few components that can really reduce the intensity of circles under the eyes. By the way, vitamin C is very unstable, but Erborian was able to keep it effective - the extract is placed in capsules that burst when applied, and the gel itself is packaged with a pump.”
Price: 3100 rub.
Shadow-Off Eye Cream, CremorLab
BeautyHack special correspondent Moore Soboleva:
“The CremorLab brand seems very interesting to me - the Korean approach to beauty, combined with high-quality, expensive ingredients, together can create a small revolution. The brand has two eye creams – one with a blur effect, the second – firming and brightening. Asian brands are the undisputed leaders in skin whitening, so this cream, containing oils and niacinamide, gets the job done.”
Price: 4023 rub.
Genuine Glow Eye Balm, Estee Lauder
BeautyHack special correspondent Moore Soboleva:
“Skin radiance is the general focus of the entire Genuine Glow line, the products of which combine decorative and caring functions. This balm, billed as the perfect primer for concealer, does not contain any reflective particles and has no tint itself. But it smoothes the skin well, filling wrinkles, and lightens it slightly.”
Price: 3915 rub.
Gel Eye Contour Gel-XT, Cellcosmet
BeautyHack special correspondent Moore Soboleva:
“This gel from a smart Swiss brand is recommended for use from the age of 20, but promises not only to lighten dark circles and reduce swelling, but also to smooth out small wrinkles. There are no silicones in the composition (mostly plant extracts), so visual smoothness will not come instantly - but when it comes, it will remain for a long time. And when you use it, you feel like a wildly luxurious woman - this makes wrinkles and swelling disappear on their own.”
Price: 9200 rub.
Serum Enhancing Eye Lift Serum, Clarins
BeautyHack columnist and beauty blogger Elvira Chabakauri:
“A very interesting and unusual product! This is a serum with a light gel texture and gold reflective particles. However, after distributing the product they are invisible on the skin. Suitable for those who have swelling not only under the eyes, but also in the upper eyelid. If the latter is swollen and you don’t know where to draw the arrows, this remedy will help you out. After application it seems a little sticky, but the eyelids seem to be “glued” and the eyes open.”
Price: 2700 rub.
Pep Start Eye Cream, Clinique
BeautyHack columnist and beauty blogger Elvira Chabakauri:
“Clinique Pep Start Eye Cream is a lightweight cream with reflective particles and a very quick effect - in just a couple of minutes it noticeably invigorates the skin around the eyes (both in feel and appearance). I also like that it applies makeup well, even if you don’t have time to wait for it to completely absorb. This Clinique series is specifically designed for city dwellers who are always in a hurry.”
Price: 2100 rub.
Radiant cream-mask for the skin around the eyes “White Queen”, L'Occitane
BeautyHack editor Olga Kulygina:
“White Queen” is a line of L'Occitane products based on meadowsweet extract (a plant with snow-white flowers). The products promise to lighten pigmentation, dark circles under the eyes and generally make the complexion uniform.
The cream mask for the skin around the eyes is a thick gel that is squeezed through a cooling metal applicator. If you take the time to massage your skin with it (especially in the morning), you will see that the swelling will noticeably subside. I applied the cream in a thick layer as a mask before bed and in the morning in a thin layer under makeup. From what is visible immediately after application, the skin under the eyes seems to be illuminated (due to this, the look looks rested) and small wrinkles are smoothed out. And after a week of use, dark circles really lighten. By the way, this cream lasts for a long time - it squeezes out exactly as much as you need.”
Price: 3,550 rub.
Renewing eye cream-balm Skin Regimen, [comfort zone]
BeautyHack editor Olga Kulygina:
“My relaxing spa procedure for workaholics took place with Italian products (we wrote about this here).
The brand is focused directly on spa care, so all products have a very calm design, subtle scent, delicate composition and light texture.
Skin Regimen eye cream-balm is a unisex cream that can be used by both women and men. It contains caffeine (1%) and the “longevity complex” developed by the brand, which awaken and renew the skin of the eyelids. In appearance, the cream seems thick, but the texture is more like a balm, so it is suitable for thin skin. It moisturizes well and smoothes out fine wrinkles, but I can’t say that it copes with dark circles. But it can (and should) be applied to the upper eyelids in order to achieve a lifting effect over time and “open” the eyes.” Price on request.
Composition of eye creams
Products for the care of the eyelid area are characterized by a delicate, non-aggressive composition. For a certain age, the set of components is different, but there are also common ingredients:
- Antioxidants - substances protect aging skin and prevent the first signs of aging for young skin. Common antioxidants include vitamin E, green tea extract, witch hazel and grape extract.
- Retinoids and peptides are components that fight the aging of the dermis. Substances help stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. The ingredient reduces wrinkles and reduces pigmentation.
- Caffeine helps improve blood flow and has a drainage effect.
- Humidifiers - participate in maintaining moisture in the dermis. Popular components: glycerin, hyaluronic acid.
- Oils provide nutrition, softening and elasticity to the skin. Avocado and almond oils are added to eye creams.
- Vitamin C - stimulates the regeneration of epidermal cells, promotes the natural production of collagen.
- Probiotics - restore the concentration of beneficial bacteria. Reduce inflammatory processes.
Pay attention to the content of these substances in products for the area around the eyes.
How to choose a good eye cream
When selecting cosmetic products, you need to take into account many factors: skin type, tendency to allergic reactions, properties of active ingredients. Based on this information, the pricing policy of the product, reviews and personal preferences, you can choose the ideal anti-wrinkle product.
Corrective eye cream
It is believed that the best eye cream must contain hyaluronic acid. It is a natural derivative of the body, hypoallergenic, and has a deep moisturizing and tightening effect. But the list of useful active substances used in cosmetics does not end with hyaluronic acid.
Active substances that are included in most effective eyelid wrinkle creams:
- Vitamin A
. If you choose a product with retinol in its composition, you can be sure that your skin will be nourished and tightened. But this vitamin has an unpleasant feature: it causes peeling of the skin. Therefore, it is preferable to use a product that also contains tocopherol; - Vitamin
E. A gentle lifting ingredient that improves skin tone, reduces age spots and has moisturizing properties. Tocopherol is able to activate the production of collagen and elastane, but in the presence of deep wrinkles it is better if it is supplemented with amino acids; - Seaweed extracts
. Ideal ingredients for oily and problematic skin with high sensitivity. Thanks to the huge amount of minerals and essential acids in the composition, such products are used to nourish mature skin, lift eyelids, and moisturize the area under the eyes. Many kelp products are also known for their cooling properties;
Seaweed - Essential and base oils
. It is very important to nourish and moisturize the skin under the eyes well. Oil substances do an excellent job of both of these functions. Particularly popular are fatty extracts of rice, shea tree, cocoa, coconut, and olive. From essential oils you need to highlight barberry, passionflower, lemon; - Plant extracts
. Extracts from medicinal plants are great for dark circles under the eyes, dark spots, and fine wrinkles. Linen softens and smoothes the epidermis, passionflower normalizes metabolism and helps activate the production of collagen and elastane, ruscus is rich in unique nano-somas. In addition, extracts of chamomile, roses, rose hips, fruit plants, parsley, etc. are actively used; - Animal products
. Nowadays, products based on caviar, crushed pearls, honey, snail mucus and other similar components are very popular. Such preparations for wrinkles and for restoring elasticity are very expensive, because they often contain a minimum amount of preservatives and a maximum of natural ingredients; Pearl extract - Synthetic compounds
. These are all kinds of branded formulas. They can strengthen the tissue of the epidermis, improve its color and turgor and much more - depending on the purpose of the cream.
Naturally, these are not all possible components of eye creams, but most of these cosmetics are enriched with at least one of the listed ingredients.

from the Renovage line - a hypoallergenic cream for eliminating swelling and tightening tissue in the eyelid area. Improves elasticity, quickly copes with irritated skin.

Faberlic Air Stream Oxygen glow
It is important to note that for winter care it is better to use eye cream from the Verbena Velvet Wear line (Faberlic Verbena)
. It is known for its high protective functions. After application, it leaves an invisible layer on the skin that does an excellent job of protecting the epidermis from cold and wind. Nivea Make-up expert (Nivea) is also suitable.
