The Best Eye Creams for Wrinkles & Dark Circles

The thin, delicate skin surrounding your eyes is one of the first places where signs of skin aging appear. They include dark circles, liver spots and fine wrinkles extending from the outer corners of your eyes. Don't waste time and money on purchasing ineffective eye treatment products made with unproven ingredients. Instead, pick an eye treatment that has been vouched for by beauty experts and cosmetic industry insiders.

Nu Skin Tru Face IdealEyes Eye Refining Cream

Don't let the funky spelling put you off. Beauty products expert Paula Begoun named Nu Skin's eye refining cream as one of the top department store products for firming the eye area. She also gave it her top award, the "Paula's Pick" rating. She writes that it smooths out your skin and effectively moisturizes, and contains lots of antioxidants such as vitamin C, as well as cell-communicating chemicals. Nu Skin says this helps to firm the eyes, decrease puffiness and dark circles, and brighten away fine lines.

Eyliplex-2 Eye Lift + Circle REducer

Eyliplex-2's eye treatments received a top finalist ranking in the Cosmetic Executive Women's 2009 beauty awards, one of the beauty and cosmetic industry's most prestigious awards. It's actually two different creams in one. The first is a day gel that lifts and tightens your skin for less wrinkling. The night balm feeds and hydrates the skin, helping to repair damage that may contribute to sagging skin, dark circles and other problems.

Olay Pro-X Eye Restoration Complex

Olay's Pro-X eye treatment is pricier than all of its other eye creams and serums, but it may be worth the price, according to Begoun. She named it one of the best drugstore eye treatments, saying it has "outstanding" effects thanks to numerous antioxidants and other rejuvenating chemicals. Olay promises that it will both diminish dark under-eye circles, firm and reduce wrinkles, and battle other signs of aging, such as skin discoloration.

Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller

Garnier Nutritioniste's skin renewing treatment was a winner in the Cosmetic Executive Women's 2009 beauty awards, the top honor possible. The treatment comes in a roll-on applicator wand that helps to improve circulation while delivering antioxidants that help to reduce the appearance of dark under-eye circles while minimizing puffiness for a more alert appearance.
