The Best Anti-Wrinkle and Firming Eye Creams

Jun 7, 2010 | By Josh Duvauchelle

Regular face creams are often too heavy or contain irritating substances that make them unsuitable for the very thin skin surrounding your eyes. That doesn't mean you can't combat wrinkles in these areas. Pick one of the best anti-wrinkle eye creams, as reviewed by doctors and cosmetics experts, to help perk up and firm the skin for a smoother and more flawless look.

Benefit Cosmetics Depuffing Action Eye Gel

Benefit Cosmetics's depuffing eye treatment can be used all over your face, not just on your eyes, according to cosmetics expert Paula Begoun. Its label boasts a secret ingredient, which is likely hydrolyzed soy flour, which Begoun says is purported to lift and firm up the sensitive skin around your eyes. It also includes various antioxidants and herbal extracts to feed, moisturize and protect the skin.

Neocutis Lumière Bio Restorative Eye Cream

In reviewing Neocutis Lumière's eye cream, plastic surgeon Dr. Mauro Romita says you'll likely notice a 30 percent improvement in wrinkles and firmness when using this cream. For this reason, InStyle magazine's beauty editors called it one of the best eye creams available, specifically citing its collagen-boosting antioxidants and caffeine, which may help to firm and tighten the skin.

Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightener

Real Simple magazine's beauty editors suggest using Smashbox's eye cream. It has peptides, which the editors say may help to both encourage anti-wrinkle collagen production and reduce the breakdown of existing collagen, which may lead to new wrinkles. The treatment cream includes light reflecting particles to cosmetically brighten the area around your eyes, perking up your appearance and reducing the severity of dark undereye circles.

NIA 24 Eye Repair Complex

NIA 24's eye cream comes formulated with a proprietary niacin complex, plus antioxidants like vitamins C and E and herbal extracts such as licorice. It won a spot in InStyle magazine's "Best Beauty Buys for 2010." The magazine liked the rich cream and its pro-niacin ingredient, which may help smooth out the skin's surface by enhancing cell turnover. Its antioxidants can also help reduce new skin damage, such as wrinkles and skin discoloration.
