The University of Maryland Medical Center calls vitamin C a "very potent antioxidant." The center says the vitamin can accomplish all sorts of beneficial effects on your skin, including improving collagen production, smoothing wrinkles and reducing inflammation. Dab a vitamin C-boosted eye cream onto the skin surrounding your eyes to perfect and enhance your skin's condition.

BeautiControl Cell Block-C PM Cell Protection

BeautiControl's vitamin C-infused face cream is intended to be used all over your face, including near your eyes. Anti-aging expert Paula Begoun tested it and notes that its performance was exceptional, calling it "impressive" and that it helps to both strengthen your skin and enhance its ability to repair itself. The antioxidants are paired with skin-hydrating emollients and peptides to further improve your eye skin's health.

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Hydra-Pure Firming Eye Cream

Dr. Dennis Gross' eye cream was chosen as one of the best antioxidant-infused eye creams by Elle magazine's beauty editors. They liked it specifically for its use of vitamin C to improve skin collagen while vitamin A fights wrinkles and vitamin E protects your skin. As the antioxidants work against signs of aging, emollients and trace minerals help to nourish and moisturize.

The Body Shop Vitamin C Eye Reviver

Begoun says The Body Shop's eye cream is best for slightly dry to normal skin not just near your eyes, but also "anywhere on the face." The Body Shop uses natural-based emollient moisturizers, such as avocado extract and lanolin. These emollients come enhanced with silicone, which may help to diminish the appearance of lines by filling them in.

Borghese Cura-C Vitamin C Eye Treatment

Borghese makes its eye cream with an efficacious amount of stabilized vitamin C. It goes on feeling smooth and silky, reports Begoun, and it is packaged in a opaque package to keep its antioxidant content stable and potent. Unlike many manufacturers, Borghese doesn't add synthetic fragrances, which makes this eye cream ideal if you have very sensitive skin.
