Wrinkles may form around your eyes for various reasons, such as ultraviolet damage, excessive dehydration or a loss in skin collagen. Though there are many eye cream treatments available in drugstores and department stores that promise to rejuvenate the eye area, don't waste your money on ineffective products. Only a few creams have earned top rankings from beauty experts for helping to diminish wrinkles.
MD Skincare by Dr. Dennis Gross
Paula Begoun, the cosmetics expert behind "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me," rated MD Skincare by Dr. Dennis Gross' Continuous Eye Hydration Advanced Technology cream as one of the most effective department store eye treatments.
In her review, she says it contains various antioxidants, cell-communicating chemicals and emollients deserving of her rare "Paula's Pick" award. It can help to hydrate and plump up your skin for potentially fewer wrinkles and diminished dark circles, plus overall improved skin tone.
Anew Rejuvenate 24 Hour Eye Moisturizer SPF 25
Avon's product was a top finalist in the Cosmetic Executive Women's 2009 beauty awards, one of the cosmetic industry's biggest award shows. It's actually two separate products contained in one bottle and separated by a plastic divider. The day cream reduces skin oxidation, brightens the skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines while shielding the skin from wrinkle-causing ultraviolet light. The night cream helps rejuvenate skin cells and de-puff your eyes.
NeoStrata Bionic Eye Cream
NeoStrata's eye cream also won high praise from Begoun, who said she liked its gluconolactone concentration that can help rejuvenate and exfoliate the eye area to reduce wrinkle severity. Don't expect quick, instantaneous action, as the manufacturer says it can take up to four weeks or more to see results. Additional active ingredients, like vitamin A and vitamin K, also combat wrinkling while potentially diminishing other problems, such as dark circles under the eyes.
Aveeno Positively Ageless Lifting & Firming Eye Cream
Aveeno's eye firming cream earned high praise from the CEW 2009 beauty awards, thanks to a proprietary mix of antioxidants and fatty lipids that can help hydrate and plump up your skin for a smoother, less wrinkled look. Natural light diffusers instantly brighten the skin area to cast away shadows made by wrinkles for a cosmetically improved appearance.
