Skinceuticals is a beauty editor-favorite brand, and this eye cream is a true powerhouse. Beyond puffiness, the product also combats other signs of aging, including crepiness, dark circles, and crows’ feet, with “a blend of caffeine as well as Proxylane, glycyrrhetinic acid, and Matrixyl 3000. I love that it also uses a blend of optical diffusers to help disperse the light,” Dr. Garshick says.
Key ingredients: Concentrated ProxylaneTM, wild fruit flavonoid blend, Matrixyl 3000, glycyrrhetinic acid, caffeine
Size: 0.5 fl. oz.
Dermstore rating: 4.5/5 stars
An ELLE editor says: “I was an eye cream skeptic before this Skinceuticals gem came into my life. I have trouble sleeping, and my under-eyes are the first place where evidence of my late-night TikTok scrolling appears. With each use of this salve, my eyes appear brighter and smoother. I still get asked for my ID at bars and restaurants to this day, and I’m giving most of the credit to having a diligent eye care routine—and daily sunscreen, of course.”—Nerisha Penrose, beauty commerce editor
