Eye firming creams treat the signs of aging in the delicate eye area, including fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. Adding an eye firming cream to your skin care routine earlier rather than later can help to prevent some skin damage and keep your youthful appearance. While no eye cream can give you the benefits of plastic surgery, some key ingredients can help you to look your best. Good quality options are available in both high end department stores and affordable drugstore versions.
L'Oreal
Both "Oprah" and "Elle" magazine have ranked L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Deep-Set Wrinkle Repair 24HR Eye Duo as one of the best eye creams on the market today. Two separate creams are packaged together. Use the lighter cream with an SPF 15 under your makeup during the day and the richer, heavier moisturizer at night before bed. Moisturizing ingredients and the powerful vitamin A derivative, retinol, combine to keep your skin looking supple, healthy and moisturized, while reducing fine lines. You'll find L'Oreal's skin care products on drug and discount store shelves.
Oil of Olay
Olay Total Effects Eye Transforming Cream is another possibility if you're looking for one of the best eye creams on the market. Designed to treat lines and wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles, Elle Magazine readers ranked this among their top five eye creams of 2010. A variety of vitamins, natural ingredients like cucumber, green tea and aloe and moisturizers combine to create an all around excellent eye cream, both to firm up aging skin and reduce the appearance of puffiness in the eye area.
La Mer
"Elle" Magazine and TotalBeauty.com agree that La Mer is a top notch eye cream. La Mer's The Eye Concentrate is a light, easily absorbed cream. The cream comes with a cooling silver applicator and will help to firm skin, smooth fine lines and wrinkles and reduce undereye puffiness. La Mer does not identify the ingredients in this cream, but attributes its success to marine and natural ingredients. While Olay Total Effects and L'Oreal Revitalit offer affordable eye creams, La Mer is a splurge, available from CremedelaMer.com.
