As your skin gets damaged and dries, fine lines may appear around the corners of your eyes. These are commonly known as crow's feet. A hydrating, anti-aging skin cream can help plump up and moisturize the skin near your eyes to help banish crow's feet for a younger appearance.

Aveda Tourmaline Charged Eye Creme

Anti-aging skincare expert Paula Begoun tested Aveda's eye cream. Not only does Begoun rank it as one of the best eye creams on the market, but she also calls it one of Aveda's best products. She liked its "brilliantly formulated" ingredient list that includes anti-wrinkle antioxidants, wrinkle-filling silicone and plumping moisturizers that may help to decrease the depth of fine lines.

Vichy LiftActiv Retinol HA Eyes

Vichy's eye cream comes boosted with retinol, which the University of Maryland Medical Center says is one of the best ingredients for getting rid of fine lines. The editors of Marie Claire magazine recommend it as a top choice for removing crow's feet. Besides retinol, it also includes hyaluronic acid--the acid helps infuse your skin with moisture--and contains no fragrances, so it won't irritate the sensitive eye area.

Clarins Extra-Firming Eye Contour Cream

Firming your skin surface will help diminish the appearance of wrinkles like crow's feet. Begoun rates Clarin's eye treatment as "very good." She liked its consistency and gave it top marks for antioxidant-rich ingredients like soy. It also derives its emollient, moisturizing nature from natural ingredients like peanut oil. A lighter serum version is available for those who want a less-emollient treatment.

Olay Professional Pro-X Hydra-Firming Cream

Olay's cream was given an "Editors' Pick" award from InStyle magazine as a prime way to help target crow's feet. It also got positive praise from Begoun, who liked its "lightweight yet substantial" nature that combines skin firming and brightening ingredients like caffeine and antioxidants. Additional moisturizers include glycerin, silicone--silicone can help cosmetically diminish the appearance of lines--and niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3.
