The 9 Best Eye Creams, Treatments And Devices To Try Now

This cream from Dr. Barbara Sturm makes a great all-rounder, as it’s rich in antioxidants and hyaluronic acid. For me, it’s the texture that’s a real standout: it manages to be deeply nourishing and plumping (an essential for the under eyes) without being heavy or rich, plus it’s perfect under makeup. A really good twice-a-day eye treat for most skin types and ages.

Unlike other eye masks, this one doesn’t limit itself to just the under-eye area. Sarah Chapman’s press-on mask is worn around your eyes, so it deep-treats puffiness under the eye, while helping to firm the upper eyelid – and even the area above the brow. Infused with hyaluronic acid to hydrate, plus collagen boosters and skin brighteners, this smart eye mask refreshes and rejuvenates the exact areas we want improved – all in one go. My advice is to keep one chilled in the fridge to use before an event, after a long-haul flight or the morning after the night before.

Created by oculoplastic surgeon Dr. Maryam Zamani, this excellent and intensive course from MZ Skin deep-treats the eyes with a blend of collagen-boosting peptides, hydration and protective antioxidants to rejuvenate, firm and deeply hydrate. The program is great to use as a regular booster or before a big event – and it’s especially good on any dry, crepey skin texture.

With a light and refreshing texture, Omorovicza’s luxurious eye treatment is rich in vitamin K, which, when used regularly, helps reduce dark circles. Plus, it comes with the brand’s famous mineral-rich healing concentrate to help repair and soothe the delicate skin around the eyes, as well as line-smoothing peptides. This gel-cream is also good for eyes that wake up puffy, as it plumps up and refreshes without feeling heavy.

A set of great beauty essentials to keep chilled in the refrigerator (not freezer), these cryo wands by Angela Caglia work beautifully to depuff and brighten tired, jet-lagged or dull eyes. Using the backs of chilled spoons gently pressed over puffy eyes is an old Hollywood trick, and you can now do just that with this duo. Gently hold the concave side flat to closed eyes for up to 10 seconds before flipping them over to work the curved side around the eyes. Do this after applying your eye cream to get a beautifully smooth, glass-like finish.

With each application individually packaged (making it excellent for travel), Noble Panacea’s potent treatment is formulated to treat the skin in exactly the area needed – and over an extended period of time. But what really sets this power-house cream apart is its organic molecular vessel technology, meaning the potency of its active ingredients (peptides to firm, horse chestnut to depuff) is increased up to 10 times.

Cleverly formulated to recreate the effects of an icy in-spa cryotherapy treatment, these bestselling mini eye masks from 111Skin take a more high-tech approach to de-puffing and brightening the under-eye area. Super-hydrating and packed with anti-inflammatories, they quickly calm any redness and reduce fluid retention – ideal after a late night or at the end of a long day.

A real pre-red-carpet favorite, RéVive’s transformative cream mask adds a healthy glow to tired, dry eyes. And, unless your eyes are prone to puffiness, it also works brilliantly as an overnight mask, whether it’s post-flight or after a long day in front of a computer screen. Apply generously around the eyes and leave on overnight.

Too good to leave at home, this is the perfect super-light but deeply effective serum for soothing sore, irritated, dry or tired eyes. While it helps tighten and plump up the skin, what sets Charlotte Tilbury’s serum apart is the icy-cool, metal-tipped applicator, which feels like a mini treatment every time you use it. It can be kept in the refrigerator for extra chilling and firming effects, but I prefer to keep one in my purse, as it even works well blended lightly over makeup during the day.
