The skin around your eye area is one of "the most age-prone places on the face," reports anti-aging skin care expert Paula Begoun, author of "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me." Here, you'll often notice skin discolorations like age spots, as well as fine lines that may make you look older. Smooth away the lines with an anti-aging eye product.
Alpha Hydrox Eye and Upper Lip Cream
The dual-purpose Alpha Hydrox cream contains "a decent amount of vitamin E," according to Begoun, plus skin-hydrating emollients. While moisturizing, its lactic acid may also help exfoliate your skin surface to get rid of dulling dead skin and soften the severity of wrinkles. As its name suggests, you can also use the gentle cream on your lips.
Juva Peptide Eye Lift Cream
Beauty editors at Shape.com, the website for Shape magazine, recommend Juva's eye lifting cream. Its active ingredients are peptides, which can help repair your skin and reduce damage caused by the sun, according to dermatologist Alexa Kimball, writing for the magazine. It's also formulated with vitamin C to help brighten the skin surface and boost collagen production for potentially less wrinkles. Additional antioxidants may help keep new wrinkles from forming.
American Beauty Moisture-Wise Continuous Hydrating Eye Cream
American Beauty's eye cream was called a "very good, silky-smooth moisturizer" by Begoun, who notes that it contains soothing anti-irritants and antioxidants. Ceramides, vitamins E and C, and marine collagen can help plump up your skin and may decrease wrinkles, while emollients continue to hydrate your skin for up to 12 hours.
Aubrey Organics Lumessence Rejuvenating Eye Creme
Aubrey Organics markets its eye cream as being made from 100 percent natural ingredients. In her review, Begoun says it has many "beneficial" ingredients. This includes basic moisturizers, oat protein that may reduce the size of your wrinkles, and organic vegetable oils to soothe and hydrate your skin's surface. Begoun notes that its lavender oil may irritate sensitive skin.
