by Limpho Nonkonyane

Whether you are a corporate girl or a stay-at-home parent we all can attest to once in our lives suffering from tired eyes and puffiness as life gets too busy for one to do a proper skincare routine, but what happens if you can remove all those problems just by adding one simple product to your daily skincare routine: an eye cream.

Dr. Jeannette Graf, a board-certified dermatologist tells lifestyle hub, PEOPLE that, “Eye cream helps the under eye appear smoother, plumper, and firmer,” adding, “Eye creams are rich in oils and are much thicker than traditional moisturisers.”

Edgar Beauty advises using eye creams that contain hyaluronic acid, a vitamin high in fatty acids, as they maintain healthy skin, by lowering pigmentation, increasing collagen formation, and improving skin texture.

Here are 5 must-try eye creams recommended by beauty experts for puffiness and dark circles:

  1. The Ordinary Caffeine 5% + EGCG Depuffing Eye Serum: Cosmopolitan adds that this eye serum is lightweight, absorbs quickly under concealer, and includes caffeine and EGCG to temporarily tighten under-eye bags, making dark circles less visible.
  2. Kiehl’s Avocado Eye Cream: According to PEOPLE, Kiehl’s eye cream is good for people who have dry skin and it is formulated with avocado oil, beta-carotene, and sodium PCA, which help to balance lipids, nourish, and soften the skin. The above-mentioned hub advises daily use for best results.
  3. La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar Eye Cream: Cosmopolitan suggests using this product works well as an under-eye makeup primer as it has a smooth texture and brightening under-eyes before applying concealer.
  4. Dermalogica Awaken Peptide Eye Gel: This eye cream contains rosemary leaf extract, peptides, and caffeine, which effectively reduces puffiness and oedema, adding that, the product absorbs easily into your skin allowing for less puffiness around the eyes as well as improves your makeup routine.
