The Best Anti-Aging Undereye Products For Fine Lines, Dark Circles, And More

Best, affordable option for brightening the undereye area.

The Ordinary's Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG is a brightening undereye serum made with highly soluble caffeine and EGCG, a component derived from green tea leaves that has both soothing and antioxidant properties.

The liquid solution is easy to apply and can be used both in the morning and in the evening before your moisturizer to brighten and even out the skin tone and de-puff the undereye area.

Best, affordable option for dark circles and dehydration.

CeraVe's Eye Repair Cream has built up a cult following across the internet thanks to its budget-friendly and super effective formula.

The eye cream is packed with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides, making it perfect for sensitive eyes prone to dryness and dark circles, and for just $16, it won't make too much of a dent in your wallet.

Best for instantly de-puffing tired eyes.

If you’re looking for something to quickly de-puff, soothe, and open up your eyes in the morning, then the VERSED Emergency Eye Mask is the product for you.

This affordable gel eye mask contains cucumber and caffeine, which help hydrate the delicate skin of the eye area while also instantly de-puffing and reducing redness.

The formula delivers a refreshing cooling sensation to pick up dry, tired eyes in a flash.

Best for moisturizing dry undereye areas and eyelids.

True to its name, the Total Effects Eye Transforming Cream by Olay is a standout product that delivers seven different benefits, addressing deeper skin concerns such as dryness and discoloration to fine lines and wrinkles.

The product is oil-free, has a lightweight and fast-absorbing feel, and is packed with brightening and repairing niacinamide along with soothing and antioxidant-rich vitamin E.

Best for dehydration and fine lines.

RoC's Multi Correxion Hyaluronic Acid Cream is a great option for anyone who wants something lightweight, non-sticky, and effective when it comes to hydrating and tightening the skin around the eyes.

The serum cream contains a 3% hyaluronic acid complex to hydrate the skin and attract moisture alongside peptides that visibly lift and firm the eye contour.

Lastly, the product also contains caffeine, which serves as an instant de-puffing boost.

Best for fine lines and crow's feet.

If you want something simple that you can pick up at the drugstore and have for daily use, consider the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair, which contains stabilized retinol along with hyaluronic acid to help strengthen and moisturize the skin as well as lift and plump out existing fine lines and crow's feet.

Best for very dry and dehydrated undereye area.

La Roche Posay's Toleriane Ultra Eye Cream is a great product for anyone dealing with an extremely dry, dehydrated, and uncomfortable undereye area.

This usually occurs in mature skins, but it can also result from changing weather, excessive use of an air conditioner, super-mattifying makeup, and extreme dehydration.

The Toleriane Ultra Eye Cream is rich in minerals with scientifically demonstrated soothing and antioxidant properties.

The product contains neurosensine, an ingredient that helps reduce skin sensitivity, alongside brightening niacinamide and moisturizing shea butter to soothe irritation and get rid of dryness.

Best for all undereye concerns.

Drunk Elephant may be a controversial brand, but I have to admit that their eye creams are true bangers, especially the Shaba Complex Firming Eye Cream that has a silky smooth and lightweight texture.

The formula is also chock full of active ingredients to address a litany of issues, including wrinkle-fighting copper peptides, brightening and smoothing black tea ferment, and plant-based stem cells for a powerful dose of protective antioxidants. There’s also niacinamide in the mix, a choice multi-tasker that strengthens the skin barrier and also helps combat discoloration.

Best high-end product for puffiness and dark circles.

Unlike under-eye bags – which can be caused by a combination of fluid, drooping fat pads, and skin elasticity – puffiness is usually just from fluid retention alone.

This is where Sunday Riley's Auto Correct eye cream comes to the rescue.

This high-end cream is chockfull of caffeine and ginseng, which will reduce puffiness and make eyes look less tired. It also contains lutein, a powerful antioxidant, which adds a beautiful and healthy glow around the eyes, as well as cocoa and shea butter to smooth and plump the skin.

Best for firming the eye contour and improving the look of crow's feet.

Shani Darden's Intensive Eye Renewal Cream is a rich and luxurious cream containing multiple emollients to moisturize and soften the skin around the eyes alongside actives to help improve the look of fine lines and crow's feet.

The main active ingredient in the product is peptides, which are amino acids that help promote healthy collagen and elasticity to visibly firm the skin. The cream also contains brightening niacinamide and softening squalene, as well as silk tree extract to boost the brightening effects of the cream and visibly lift the eyelids.
