Under-eye creams are one of the leading skin-care products on the market. Every beauty company, from department store cosmetics to grocery-store brands, offers consumers some type of under-eye cream. Dermatologists agree that the skin around the eye is far more delicate than other areas of the face and therefore requires special treatment.
Under-eye Problems
The problem areas of the under-eye area result from a combination of age and genetics. The most common under-eye problems are puffiness, dark circles or shadows and wrinkles.
Timing
Doris Day, a New York City dermatologist, says women should begin using basic eye cream in their early 20s. As you age, evaluate different types of creams based on your problem areas.
Types of Under-eye Creams
With so many under-eye creams on the market, choosing one can be overwhelming. Although some creams promise to combat fine lines, while others promise to erase dark circles, researchers at The Beauty Insiders say the best eye creams should target a variety of problems in one formula--dark circles, wrinkles, puffiness, fine lines--as well as moisturize and nourish the surrounding area. Once you find a cream that targets multiple problems, consider your budget and product reviews to choose the cream that is right for you.
Top-rated Under-eye Creams
There are a few under-eye creams that have consistently been rated as the best. According to Consumer Search, the best eye cream to target dark circles as rated by both beauty experts and consumers is Jan Marini Factor-A Eyes for Dark Circles. The top-rated eye cream said to reduce puffiness is Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller Gel. Two of the top-rated eye creams said to target the overall problems of the eye region are ROC Retinol Correxion Eye Cream and Olay Professional Pro-X Eye Restoration Complex.
