"TOP 5" EYE

CREAM BRANDS !
REVIEWS

We sorted through hundreds of the top

eye cream options to narrow down the
ones worthy of testing. These are the
best eye creams to try.

It’s often said that the eyes are the windows to

the soul—so they deserve pampering
treatment to keep them youthful-looking and
vibrant. The competition is tough when it
comes to the best eye cream products on the
market. With so many ingredient claims and
ever-evolving technology, it can be challenging
to find a product that does what it says.

Our team of researchers & testers did the hard

work, trying hundreds of eye creams to find the
very best. They studied product claims and
technology and examined quality, e!cacy,
results and value. They also looked for the
presence of tried-and-true ingredients, like
peptides, retinol and hyaluronic acid. Below are
their favorite picks for best eye cream.

After testing hundreds of products, our

panel kept coming back to NourishMax
Diamond Infused Eye Cream​. This top pick
features a comprehensive list of hard-hitting
ingredients that target every eye concern,
from dark circles to pu!ness to telltale
signs of aging like crow’s feet.

Our testers were happy to see that

NourishMax contains anti-wrinkle peptides,
including diamond extract, palmitoyl
tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 and
acetyl hexapeptide-8. It also features retinol.
This doctor-recommended ingredient is
proven to improve skin texture and the
appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Though retinol can sometimes contribute to
skin sensitivity, testers were impressed with
the gentleness of this formula.

NourishMax contains several moisture-

boosting ingredients to help plump the
appearance of dry skin around the eyes,
including hyaluronic acid, squalane and
vitamin E. A form of vitamin K targets dark
circles underneath the eyes.

Testers also reported that NourishMax

absorbed quickly into the skin and left
behind a perfectly moisturized finish,
making it easy to apply concealer afterward.

This top-rated eye cream was the only

product tested that contains diamond
powder, a luxurious ingredient that helps
promote luminosity and a refreshed, radiant
appearance.

dark circles, wrinkles, under-eye bags,
puNness and crow’s feet

CONS

# Currently available to purchase on the

# Product demand may cause the
product to be out of stock

#2 Estee Lauder
Rating (4.5) ! ! ! ! !

! Effectiveness: 8.7/10
! Expert's Rate: 8.5/10
! Customer's Rate: 8.6/10 (784 Votes)

Our team of testers first noticed that this eye

cream is reasonably priced—at $62, it is less
expensive than some of the other brands
they tried. And because Estee Lauder is a
respected and iconic beauty brand dating
back to the 1940s, we had confidence that
this formula would work.

However, while this top eye cream contains

ca"eine, botanicals and moisturizing key
ingredients, it doesn’t contain wrinkle-
fighting peptides or retinol, two categories
we look for in an eye cream. It also contains
petrolatum, a form of petroleum that is
believed to be comedogenic.

We also noted that while Estee Lauder

recently committed to becoming cruelty
free, it is still sold in China, a country that
requires animal testing on all beauty
products.

PROS

" A patented product from a renowned

beauty brand
" Contains caffeine to provide an
energizing boost to the eye area
" Contains natural ingredients, like
watermelon, lentil and apple fruit
extract
" Easy to Gnd online and at major
department stores and beauty
retailers
" The company’s generous return
policy allows for returns if users are
unsatisGed
" Accessibly priced at $62 for 0.5
ounces

CONS

# Contains petrolatum, an ingredient

that has been linked to clogged pores
# Does not contain retinol or peptides
# Sold in China, a country that requires
animal testing

#3 SkinMedica
Rating (4.3) ! ! ! ! !

! Effectiveness: 8.5/10
! Expert's Rate: 8.6/10
! Customer's Rate: 8.1/10 (409 Votes)

With a clinical formula and ingredients,

SkinMedica TNS Eye Repair stood out to our
panel. The formula contains a form of retinol,
along with peptides that work to minimize the
appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

While the company is upfront with its

ingredient profile, some controversy surrounds
its use of growth factors. Many users may take
issue with using a product that contains a
human growth factor blend.

The company o"ers a rewards program to earn

points with every purchase. But SkinMedica
products are available through a physician only,
so buying TNS Eye Repair is not just a click
away like many of the other products on our list.

PROS

" Contains retinyl palmitate, a form of

vitamin A
" Contains multiple peptides to Gght
the look of Gne lines and wrinkles
around the eyes
" From a brand recommended by many
dermatologists and plastic surgeons
" The company offers a rewards
program to help users earn points
and save on future purchases

CONS

# Some users may have concerns

about the use of human growth
factors in the formula
# May be diNcult to Gnd: SkinMedica
products require physician
authorization to purchase, so they
cannot be purchased online
# Return policies may vary based on
doctors’ oNce policies

#4 Neocutis
Rating (3.9) ! ! ! ! !

! Effectiveness: 8.1/10
! Expert's Rate: 8.2/10
! Customer's Rate: 7.7/10 (1054 Votes)

Testers were impressed with this NeoCutis

formula, which contains growth factors to
target fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet. This
product is also available in a more emollient
version for extra-dry skin.

This eye cream contains anti-aging growth

factors, hydrating ingredients like glycerin and
sodium hyaluronate, and ca"eine to help
minimize pu!ness. The company avoids added
color and fragrance and they do not test on
animals; however, this eye cream does contain
parabens. Also, NeoCutis does not provide the
source of its growth factors and we were not
able to find information about how they are
obtained.

Like SkinMedica TNS Eye Repair, Lumiere Bio-

Restorative Eye Cream can be a challenge to
buy online. It is only available through a
professional, such as a dermatologist or
aesthetician, so it requires a trip to a local
doctor’s o!ce.

PROS

" Contains growth factors to Gght Gne

lines and wrinkles
" Helps to combat other signs of aging,
including dark circles and puNness
" The company features before and
after photos to demonstrate
effectiveness
" From a clinical skincare brand sold in
dermatology and plastic surgery
oNces

CONS

# Contains parabens
# Does not contain retinol or peptides
# Not shoppable on the company
website; must be purchased through
a doctor’s oNce
# Because products are not purchased
directly from the manufacturer, return
policies may vary
# Expensive, with a suggested retail
price of $97 for just half an ounce

#5 SK-II
Rating (3.5) ! ! ! ! !

! Effectiveness: 8.7/10
! Expert's Rate: 8.5/10
! Customer's Rate: 7.4/10 (785 Votes)

SK-II R.N.A.POWER Eye Cream is a favorite of

beauty editors; in fact, it has won awards from
women’s beauty publications. Our testers fell
for its rich texture and liked how it instantly
soothed tired eyes.

SK-II’s eye cream contains unique ingredients

like PITERA complex, which the company claims
is rich in minerals, amino acids and vitamins.
However, it does not provide some of the
ingredients we were looking for in an eye
cream, namely retinol. And while the formula
was deeply moisturizing, our testers found that
they were missing the refreshing burst from
ca"eine found in some of our other picks.

PROS

" Feels rich and moisturizing

" Contains a unique PITERA ferment
complex
" Has won awards for best eye
treatment from consumer
publications

CONS

# arabens and petrolatum are included

in the formulation
# Contains added fragrance
# Does not contain retinol
# Pricy and the smallest size of any
product tested
