Top 5 Eye Creams of 2021

Have you ever tried an eye cream as part of your skincare routine? Or do you think they are a little pointless? I questioned this myself because I suffer from dark circles and hollow eye bags, which I try to conceal with make up alone; however, if there is a possibility of improving this with skincare, then why not? If you also suffer from dark circles, eye bags, dehydration, fine lines, or any other under-eye related concerns, then read on for the best eye creams of 2021 that you should try.

• The INKEY List – Brighten-I Eye Cream

This eye cream will eliminate the dark circles over time with its active ingredient Brightenyl, which is four times more potent than vitamin C. Some instant results include improvement to puffiness and dryness around the eyes, as well as restoring and evening out the tone of the eye contour. Paired with blurring and hydrating properties, this cream minimises redness and gives you a well-rested look.

• CeraVe – Eye Repair Cream

This eye cream formula is rich with hyaluronic acid, which is one of the best ingredients in skincare, and is the key to moisture-boosting and plumpness; the formula is free of anything too aggressive, making it perfect for sensitive eyes prone to dryness.

• Versed – The Fix Emergency Eye Mask

The soothing moisture from this hybrid eye mask comes from cucumber and caffeine, helping to hydrate the delicate skin on the eye area, whilst also de-puffing and reducing redness. There is a cooling effect from this product that perks up the eyes making them look more awake too.

• Kiehl’s – Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado

This product aims to reduce flakiness and dryness, particularly when you are outdoors and the weather wreaks havoc on your skin; so being full of nourishing avocado oil, the eye cream moisturises without leaving the under-eye feeling greasy or overloaded.

• The Body Shop – Vitamin E Eye Cream

The vitamin E range at The Body Shop is very underrated with its light formula and soothing effect on tired eyes, especially with its added ingredient hyaluronic acid that helps to make the eye area feel more supple. Vitamin E protects the eye area from purities and helps to bring back moisture to the skin while leaving it feeling light.

When applying the eye creams, it is important not to drag or pull the skin around the eye as it is very delicate; instead, use your fingers to tap, gently sweep, and press the product into the area under the eye. Not a lot of product is required either, so be careful to use only a pea-sized amount when applying an eye cream.

If you are trying one of these eye creams and adding them onto your skincare routine, then remember to only try one new product at a time so that your skin can adjust to it, otherwise, see how your under-eyes improve after a few weeks!
