Lifting creams tighten the skin, replenish the deficiency of nutrients and vitamins, and add elasticity. Products for the eyelids, body, and face are divided into different categories. Correct use of cosmetics with a lifting effect can slow down the aging process and eliminate age-related changes. Caring for eyelids has certain features. The skin here is thin, sensitive, devoid of sebaceous glands, so it ages quickly. Any cream for caring for this area is also not suitable - a greasy formula can cause swelling. For this reason, it is recommended to select special products for the skin around the eyes. In our article we offer you a review and conclusions about the best creams with a lifting effect.
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.

Reviews of lifting cream for the skin around the eyes One hundred beauty recipes
Tamara
“I purchased the cream in a small soft tube, packed in a cardboard box. There is a lot of information written on it. Since this cream is made in Russia, it inspired confidence in me. I was also pleased that the cream contains useful natural substances. I am a fan of cosmetic products from this manufacturer, so I bought this cream without thinking twice. I started applying it to cleansed skin in the area around the eyes. The consistency of the cream is very pleasant, there is no greasy sheen. After a month of use, I noticed a slight lifting effect, but there were still dark circles under my eyes. I recommend the cream."
Marina
“I discovered this cream when I was 26 years old. Lack of sleep and nerves at work took their toll, and I noticed that my skin began to look tired and bags appeared under my eyes. I started looking for a cream for the skin around my eyes. I chose the product “One Hundred Beauty Recipes” in beautiful packaging. The composition of the cream is excellent, the aroma too, the texture is light. As for skin tightening, this cream, in my opinion, is best suited for young skin, not mature skin. But it helped me, and the circles became less noticeable. I recommend.

“I’m 30 years old and there are no big problems with my skin yet, but nevertheless, I noticed that it began to lose its elasticity. I realized that it was time to start using some cream. I really like the composition of cosmetic products to be as natural as possible, which is why I chose the German Augen Crème. A tiny drop is enough to use, because the cream has an oily and dense texture. I apply it to the area around my eyes at night once a day. It is absorbed gradually and is a little sticky. But what I want to say is that it nourishes and moisturizes the skin perfectly and the lifting effect is noticeable. But still, I will continue to look for a cream so that it has a lighter texture. The stickiness and oiliness on the skin bothers me.”
Lily
“And I think that applying cream to the skin of the face twice a day is not at all necessary. Even in adulthood and even the most ideal cream. The skin should rest. When I need a smoothing product, I try to choose one that does not contain fragrances, dyes, parabens and other chemicals, because I may have allergies. I'm glad I discovered Neobio cream. It moisturizes the skin well, strengthening it and smoothing out small wrinkles. The composition contains hyaluronic acid, vitamins and healthy oils. And the aroma is pleasant. I am completely satisfied with the cream, I recommend it to everyone.”

“I became acquainted with the Eagle Eye cream after reading several reviews on the Internet. And since I’m used to taking care of myself, I don’t see anything wrong with using different creams, including for the skin around the eyes. Therefore, I purchased this cream for myself in a 30 ml bottle. I am 35 years old, and my skin is still in very good condition. I use the cream more for preventive purposes. It has a uniform consistency and a pleasant aroma. It is absorbed well if you do not overdo it with the amount of cream applied. I apply it in the morning, immediately after my shower. In the evening I use a different cream with a different composition. I think this is more correct. I can only say good things about Eagle Eye, I recommend it.”
Valeria
“Although this cream is intended for men, I decided to try it on myself and did not regret it. It was written on the box that the cream helps reduce wrinkles, eliminate dark circles and puffiness under the eyes. I noticed the first results a week after I started using it. Expression wrinkles have practically ceased to be noticeable. The next miracle was the thickening of the thin skin around the eyes. I never ceased to be surprised and was not too lazy to consult a cosmetologist. As she told me, in cosmetics intended for men, the concentration of active ingredients is significantly higher. This is the secret of such effectiveness of the Eagle Eye cream. I will continue to use it."

Lyudmila
“I bought a 15 ml tube because I found it more convenient to use than a jar. The cream has a pleasant aroma, a white tint and a fairly thick consistency. It is used very economically, there are no problems with distribution on the skin. I have dry skin, so I expect good hydration from every cream I use. I tried using Mizon cream as a base for makeup - it fits perfectly. During the day it does not roll off and does not shine on the skin. In the first few seconds after applying the cream, a slight tingling sensation occurs. There is no heaviness on the skin, no stickiness, but still the hydration from it is not enough for me. Although the cream is undoubtedly good. For those with less dry skin than me, this is sure to be perfect.”
Natalia
“I have aging, dry and very sensitive skin with fine lines and wrinkles, so finding a suitable cream for the skin around the eyes is a real problem for me. It should moisturize and nourish the skin well, fill wrinkles, be hypoallergenic and suitable as a base for makeup. I found out about the cream with snail extract by accident (I came across a picture of a stylish dark jar on the Internet). I ordered and began to wait with anticipation. A 25 ml jar arrived. The cream has the consistency of thick sour cream. I immediately applied it to my hand and was happy because I was sure that the texture would suit me perfectly. After application to the area around the eyes, the skin does not become oily or sticky, but its nourishment is visible. But I didn’t notice any intense hydration or the promised lifting. On the contrary, the condition of the skin only worsened, it all tightened. I do not recommend this cream."

Yana
“It is no secret to any woman that with age, the skin around the eyes becomes dry and wrinkles appear on it. And when getting rid of them, difficulties arise. I came across this cream when I was on vacation in Turkey. In one of the stores I saw a set from L'Oreal - cream and serum for the face and eye cream at an attractive price. I couldn't pass by. I was already familiar with the serum and face cream at that time, and I really liked them, but I had to try the eye cream for the first time. I found it not very convenient to apply the cream using the metal applicator built into the tube. But the cream itself is just super! Very light texture, unobtrusive smell, absorbed instantly. Dry skin disappears because it moisturizes it perfectly. After two months of use, the results were amazing. The skin around the eyes has become more elastic, fine wrinkles have disappeared, and deeper wrinkles have become smaller. The dark circles brightened and my overall skin looked fresher. I'm very pleased with the results. I will continue to use creams from this series in the future.”
Julia
“I purchased Revitalift Laser x3 cream at the Magnit Cosmetics store near my home. The first thing I liked was the packaging, which inspired confidence. It was written on the box that the cream helps eliminate wrinkles, bags and dark circles under the eyes. The smell is subtle, the consistency is non-greasy, the shade of the cream is pinkish-pearlescent. There were no problems with application, although I did it as usual, with my fingers and not with an applicator. There were no allergies. I used the cream regularly for a month, and during this time I noticed a lifting effect and an improvement in the condition of my skin - it became fresher and more elastic. I have no complaints about the cream; on the contrary, I am grateful to it for what it did to my skin.”

Irina
“I bought eye contour cream from the manufacturer Bioderma along with face cream. I like the products of this manufacturer, so I trust them. I bought it six months ago at one of the pharmacies in our city. And a 15 ml tube lasted me 5 months (I used it once a day). I don’t have deep wrinkles yet, but the small ones haven’t disappeared during use. But the cream-gel really helps with swelling. It also perfectly moisturizes the skin and is perfect for use under makeup. Stays on the skin evenly and does not roll off. I certainly recommend this product as a moisturizer, but it does not remove wrinkles.”
Kira
“I decided to buy Bioderma cream-gel for the skin around the eyes after preliminary studying its composition. And when I found out that this product was approved by dermatologists, all fears disappeared. I calmly went to the pharmacy and bought it. After opening the package, I applied a little cream to my hand. I was pleased with the light texture, quick absorption, lack of a greasy film and weak aroma. I applied the cream to dry, pre-cleansed eyelid skin and almost immediately began doing makeup. During the use of the cream-gel, no allergies occurred. I recommend it to those who are looking for a product for basic eyelid skin care.”

“I’m 37 years old, of course there are small wrinkles on my skin, and there’s always swelling under my eyes from lack of sleep. For the last four months I have been using Uriage Isofill anti-wrinkle cream. And I can already boast about my results. I’ll say right away that the texture of the cream is very pleasant, it is absorbed instantly, does not clump after application and does not leave a greasy film. The aroma of the cream is very subtle. The existing wrinkles, of course, have not disappeared, but new ones have not yet appeared. True, I thought that it would last longer. I will buy this cream again, I’m satisfied.”
Christina
“I usually buy skincare creams at the pharmacy because they have a gentler composition. As a rule, there were no allergies from their use. My skin is super sensitive, so finding something suitable can be difficult. At the end of winter I saw Uriage Isofill in the pharmacy - a cream with a rejuvenating effect. I didn’t take it right away, I decided to study all the information and reviews about the unfamiliar product. Interestingly, people who tried this cream on themselves did not report any amazing results. But I still decided to try it. After application to the skin, the cream did not cause any unpleasant sensations; it was not felt at all on the skin. But I didn’t see any results from using it, not even hydration.”

“I love cosmetics from this manufacturer. I have been using day and night cream for a long time, and recently I decided to buy an eye cream. I apply it to my skin twice a day. Within a few days from the start of using the cream, I noticed a lifting effect, the skin of the eyelids became firmer and more elastic. Shallow wrinkles have become barely noticeable. I will continue to use it, because I am sure that with regular use, the rejuvenating effect will, as they say, be obvious.”
Olesya
“A work colleague told me about Cosmoteros cream. She, like me, is over forty, but she looks much younger than her age. So I shared my secret. Without thinking twice, I bought this cream and started using it. I liked the cream, however, for a couple of days there was slight swelling under the eyes, but no redness. And then it started working in full force. A truly obvious result appeared after a month, but in general the bottle lasted for 4 months. The skin became smooth and elastic, wrinkles became less noticeable. I recommend."

“I’m 30 years old, but all my life I’ve suffered from extremely dry skin, so I’ve had expression lines visible for years now. I approach the choice of cream very responsibly and am still searching for the perfect one. On my last trip to the store, the consultant recommended taking Diopticreme from Lierac. Although the price is high, the cream is effective. I took it and have been using it for a month and a half now. The composition is excellent, quite thick, does not smell much. Moisturizes the skin perfectly! I apply it under concealer. The wrinkles, of course, did not disappear, but the skin in the eye area simply changed. I recommend the cream!”
Victoria
“And I haven’t had a very happy experience using this cream. I am 26 years old, and once while talking with my older sister, she advised me to use Lierac cream as a preventive measure against the appearance of wrinkles. I bought it. I liked everything about it - the texture, the degree of absorption, the convenient tube, and the economical consumption... For several days everything was just wonderful. But one day I came home from work very tired and just washed my face without applying any cream. This morning I woke up, the skin under my eyes was all tight and tingling. Applying the cream did not help. I had to save myself with baby cream. And I gave that tube to my sister. The cream didn't suit me."

“I have been using this cream for six months, and I can say that it is best suited for girls under 25 years old. I didn’t notice any lifting or tightening; the only thing the cream was capable of was moisturizing the skin and evening out its color. But for that kind of money it’s very good to get this effect.”
Maria
“And I liked the cream. When I apply it to the eye area, there is a pleasant feeling of freshness and lightness. Over time, I noticed that the skin in this area became better - it took on a healthy appearance. I began to like my reflection in the mirror.

“I bought this cream for myself and have been using it for a month and a half now. During this time, I noticed that the number of wrinkles was significantly reduced, the skin around the eyes became smooth, the bags under the eyes disappeared and the look shone. Every day the contour of the area around the eyes becomes more elastic. I don’t use a metal applicator, I like it out of habit – using my fingers. During use, I managed to achieve results even greater than from mesotherapy, which I regularly went to the salon for. Looking at me, my colleagues at work also began to use this cream.”

“I’m 30 years old, but my skin is very dry, so I’ve been using creams for a long time. I saw L'Oreal Laser cream from my older sister and decided to try it on myself. Of course, it is designed for people over forty. But, not having any big problems with my skin yet, and using the cream, I did not notice any obvious smoothing of facial wrinkles. I can’t say anything about regeneration, but it didn’t give me enough hydration. Maybe the cream is actually not bad, it just didn’t suit me, giving only light care. So I won’t say that I don’t recommend it to anyone.”

Expression wrinkles around the eyes
The age of their formation is very individual and depends on the activity of the facial muscles and the accompanying factors listed above. Dry skin, lack of collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin lead to the rapid formation of creases. If the leading factor is still facial expression, then a remedy that gently blocks active facial expressions is needed.
How to remove wrinkles and expression lines
Peptides with botulinum-like action temporarily block the hyperactivity of facial muscles, have a cumulative effect and work at the time of application. With regular use, they impart a feeling of restraint to facial expressions, which “weans” frowning and excessively tense muscles.

Methods that don't work
Folk and home methods, unfortunately, cannot in any way significantly affect the manifestations of ptosis.
- Massage and gymnastics. Positive effects include only stimulation of blood circulation in the periorbital area. One of the risks is injury to thin skin, which leads to an increase in wrinkles and the appearance of spider veins under the eyes.
- Various serums and creams. They may slightly moisturize the skin, but they can cause more harm: cause allergies, blurred vision if it comes into contact with the eyes, and increase swelling.
- Face fitness. It is an excellent exercise for vision, but in no way affects the tissue surrounding the eyes.
- Taping. A method designed to lift overhanging areas of skin using special adhesive strips. It has minimal effect on gravitational ptosis, but often provokes redness, itching and burning in the area of use.

Causes of drooping eyelids
Sagging areas of the skin under the influence of congenital, external or age-related factors are called ptosis. The main causes of this condition are:
- natural aging, which reduces the production of elastin and collagen, which provide elasticity and tone to tissues;
- some diseases of the cardiovascular system;
- diabetes;
- genetic predisposition (for example, being Asian or certain congenital diseases);
- poor diet with a lot of salt, which retains fluid in the body;
- chronic fatigue due to insufficient night rest;
- hard physical labor;
- constant nervous tension;
- improper care of the eye area (use of aggressive products, incorrectly selected decorative cosmetics, insufficient cleansing of the skin after makeup before bedtime);
- frequent allergic reactions accompanied by swelling of the skin on the face;
- myopia, due to which a person involuntarily squints in order to better see distant objects.
In some cases, the administration of botulinum toxin may cause ptosis: when the drug spreads (diffusion) into neighboring muscle groups, the eyelid may sag. To avoid such situations, cosmetologists at the GALAXY Beauty Institute recommend contacting only trusted specialists in professional medical institutions.
How to apply eye cream correctly
For the beauty of the eyelids and the elimination of wrinkles and swelling, it is important to apply the cream to the skin correctly. The first thing to remember: any such procedures are carried out exclusively on clean epidermis. To avoid drying out the sensitive area, it is recommended to use micellar water as a cleanser.
How to apply eye cream correctly
How to apply eyelid lift balm:
- A small amount of product is taken from the container (about the size of half a pea);
- Using your fingertips strictly along the massage lines, the cream is distributed over the skin. It’s not enough to just smear it over your closed eyes – you need to lightly pat the surface of the eyelid;
- Rub in for 2-3 minutes until the product is completely absorbed. It is best to apply the cream in the evening - it is at night that active regeneration processes occur (especially in delicate areas - in the eyelids, temples).
Terms of use
Unfortunately, no woman is immune from age-related skin changes. Fortunately, nowadays there are different ways to combat them. And one of the most effective is to use a cream with a lifting effect. It just has to be correct. And then you will be able to achieve good results.
There is no point in starting to use a lifting cream until you are 35 years old. This will not bring any benefit, and may even harm the skin, triggering the so-called “withdrawal effect.” This happens because products with a lifting effect promote collagen production, and the result is the resumption of the natural process of skin renewal.
Preparation for application
Before applying a cream with a lifting effect to the skin around the eyes, you need to prepare it by performing a few simple steps:
- remove all makeup from your face;
- wipe it with cosmetic cream or milk;
- wipe the skin with a tonic that does not contain alcohol.
Then you can start applying the cream.
Correct application
To apply the cream to the skin around the eyes, it is recommended to use a smoothing massage technique. It consists of light movements of the fingers strictly along the orbital bone, or targeted tapping with the ring fingers with constant control of the pressing force.
It is not recommended to rub the cream into the skin, so as not to injure it and thereby worsen its condition.
If the main purpose of using the cream is to get rid of wrinkles, then it should be applied from the periphery to the center, that is, from the outer corner of the eye to the nose. And if you need to eliminate swelling, then the cream is applied, on the contrary, from the center to the periphery.
If the skin is highly sensitive, then the cream must be applied more carefully, using a cotton pad or swab.
It is important to know that lifting cream should not be applied to the moving eyelid.
Frequency of use
To get noticeable results, it is recommended to use the tightening cream for a whole month, and then purchase an eye cream that has a different effect. Lifting cream should be applied twice a day - 1 hour before leaving the house and going to bed.
Homemade eye cream recipes
Some girls do not like store-bought products, but prefer to prepare a skin regenerating product with their own hands. To create your own unique and most natural balm, you can use the standard recipe:
- Base oil (80%);
- Vitamin complex (10%)
- Essential oils, plant extracts, acids (only if you know how to use them correctly) – 5% of the total mass;
- Clay or other available lifting component – the remaining 5%.
All ingredients can be replaced with any or necessary ones depending on your skin type and its needs. If it is difficult to calculate as a percentage, then 1 gram is taken as 1 part.
Homemade eye cream
Step-by-step instructions on how to prepare eyelid beauty cream:
- The base oil must be melted in a water bath. This can most easily be done with a coconut product, but shea and kaya are more beneficial for the delicate epidermis;
- Using a whisk or fork, beat the selected esters into the molten base. Stir until you obtain a homogeneous mousse-like consistency;
- All that remains is to supplement the product with vitamins and clay. The product is mixed again and placed in a dark place to harden and infuse. After just a few hours the cream is ready for use.
Before applying, be sure to check the product for tolerance. Apply a small amount to the inside of the brush and observe how your skin reacts. If redness or itching occurs, do not use the balm.
What should be included
For the product to be sufficiently effective, it must contain:
- Vitamin A or retinol is responsible for the synthesis of collagen fibers, increases skin elasticity, and retains moisture.
- Vitamin C is a powerful natural antioxidant that removes free radicals from cells and protects against the harmful effects of UV radiation and early aging.
- Vitamin E is an antioxidant that prevents the damaging effects of sun rays.
- Alpha lipolic acid – smoothes wrinkles and makes the skin denser.
- Alpha hydroxy acid – removes surface epithelial cells, giving way to young cellular structures. The processes of elastin and collagen synthesis are stimulated, and age-related pigmentation is whitened.
- Hyaluronic acid is the main component of youth and beauty, attracting and retaining moisture.
- Q10 is an enzyme found in the skin. It stimulates the immune system and prevents aging.
- Kinetin is a natural substance, humectant, UV filter.
- Valuable oils , plant extracts.
A balanced composition is the key to the high effectiveness of a lifting cream for eyelid skin.
