Target Area(s): Dark circles, puffiness and fine lines – Used as a day and night cream

Price: $45.99 – $63.99

Guarantee: Depends on the store

Most effective for:

• Brightens eye lid area
• Lessens fine lines
• Minimizes dark circles around the eyes
• Has instant effects visible in the morning after application
• Not so greasy

  Other Positive reviews:

  I really love this eye cream!!! I am so glad I found it! It glides so easily onto the eyelid and the under eye area, with no tugging or pulling involved. I find this cream ultra-hydrating and nourishing for my dry under eye region. I've even noticed that my dark circles are much less noticeable. Added bonus!.”

Other factors to consider:

• Heavily perfumed
• Some women find it greasy
• Sometimes runs into eyes
• Some women have reported milia after use of this eye cream
• May be too greasy for younger skin

  Other negative reviews:

  This product is horrible. It travels into your eyes (I suffered through watery red eyes because I'm such a cheap skate) and I developed milia (unsure of spelling, but it's those white bumps that appear when oil builds up). I wouldn't recommend this to anyone..

Description: This eye cream falls on the category of those anti wrinkle eye cream that are not too hard on the pocket. This eye cream containing: Royal jelly, which is fed to the queen bee to extend her life, packed with 134 nutrients, including 17 amino acids, B-vitamins and vitamins A, C, D and K. Here, it's blended with rich beeswax, soothing aloe vera gel, apricot kernel oil and vitamin E to create a nourishing cream that minimizes the appearance of fine lines and reduces puffiness in the delicate skin around your eyes. For the price you pay, it is definitely worth the buy, ranking higher than most creams that are worth just as much. Although it does have some negative comments from some of its users, majority still claim to good results, specially for the eye wrinkles and dark circles around the eyes.

Directions for Use: In the morning and evening, gently pat – never rub – the cream around your eyes.

Ingredients: Apricot Kernel Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, Bees Wax, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Aloe Vera Gel, Carrageenan Extract (Irish Moss), Kaolin (natural clay), Grapefruit Seed Extract, Sodium Borate (natural borax), Royal Jelly Powder, Magnesium Sulfate (epsom salts), Fragrance Feature ingredient: Beeswax: A natural wax made by bees in the cell walls of honeycombs, this substance is a natural emulsifier used in cosmetics. It adds a wonderful natural smell and color to products and helps to seal and protect the skin when used in moisturizing formulas.

Sunscreen: None

Recommendation: Although there are many other products that have better results, I ranked this an equal 4 out of 5 with the other eye creams because of its price. If you are looking a lighter eye cream, specially for those with skin that do not suffer from any major problems yet, better look at the other eye cream reviews. Other products we have reviewed that fall on the same price range are Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Plump Perfect Moisture eye Cream review and the bit more expensive Chanel Precision Rectifiance Intense Eye Cream review.

Target Area(s): Fine lines – Used as a day and night cream

Price: $26.00 – $28.00

Guarantee: Depends on Store

Most effective for:

• Moisturizing
• Better as eye cream
• Cheap

Other factors to consider:

• Many experience stinging after application
• Not very hydrating
• Does not live up to claims

Description: As the Bliss website claims: “The 'everything' eye cream! This multi-tasking moisturizer combines crow's-feet camouflagers with anti-wrinkle warriors, antioxidants, dark circles defeaters (give it time…), thin-skin thickeners, puff pouncers, energizers and collagen kindlers.” Sounds very convincing, and the perfect eye cream, which is also why a lot of women are very discouraged with the product. High claims are followed with high expectations, and majority of the women were not able to see that in this eye cream.

Being marketed as the best eye cream there is, it definitely is cheap, and could function as an eye cream because of the not so greasy feel after application. It also moisturizes, similar to lotions, but not enough to function as a treatment such as the claim

Directions for Use: Apply as a hydrating treatment each morning and evening for prevention of undereye 'tiring'. Regular use will lessen the appearance of fine lines.

Ingredients: soft-focus diffusers, collagen boosters, and anti-wrinkle warriors of ceramides, nutralipids, grapeseed extract, and vitamins C + E

Sunscreen: None

Recommendation: This product is cheap, which is not so much of a loss after buying. However, it renders very little results or no results, so its not a product to recommend at all. You can check out reviews on popular eye creams brands like Loreal Advanced Revitalift review and Clinique Anti Gravity Eye Cream Review.

Target Area(s): Fine lines and dark circles – Used as a day and night cream

Price: $138.00 – $140.00

Guarantee: Depends on the store

Most effective for:

• Dark circles
• Minimizes fine lines
• Doesn’t feel heavy
• Gets easily absorbed

Other positive review:

This is a fantastic addition to the pro-collagen range, it is lightweight but yet very moisturising. This product is easily absorbed around the eye area, and a single pump does both eyes, which makes it last for ages! I have been using this since it was launched, and have seen a reversal of the fine dehydration lines (aka wrinkles) that had started to appear on the outer corners of my eyes.

Other factors to consider:

• Stings the eyes
• Has a tendency to clog pores
• Doesn’t go well with make-up
• Expensive

Other negative reviews:

I have been using the cream for approx 3weeks. I have noticed a difference in my dark circles. The only thing is wen i now apply my conceler it does not sit smoothly, where as before i could get a nice smooth coverage now it just clogs up and makes my eye area look dark. Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me?

Description: This is in the line of the more expensive eye creams, with a price of $99, a price you don’t usually shell out for an eye cream. The product is said to:

This intensive eye cream is formulated with a unique synergy of potent seaweeds that cleverly mimics the skin's function. The powerful anti-wrinkle properties of Padina Pavonica combined with the Amino Acids, Beta Carotenes and Vitamins B, C and E contained in Chlorella and Blue Green Micro-algae, help to smooth, firm and support ageing skin. Results are further optimixed with the anti-Oxidant properties of Methylsilanol Munnuronate, an organic derivate of seaweed that binds moisture in the Epidermis. Independent Clinical Trials* have proven that the appearance of fine lines around the eye contour is visibly toned and smoothed to reveal truly youthful eyes.

There are only a few reviews online about this eye cream, so research might be a bit difficult for you. However, for this much, I would expect optimum results with very minimal negativities to consider.

Directions for Use: Morning and evening, warm 2 pumps of Pro-Collagen between fingers and with firm patting movements work the product around the contour of both eyes, taking care not to drag the eye.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Dicaprylyl Carbonate, PEG 8, Methylsilanol Mannuronate, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Polyacrylate, Hexyldecanol, Hexyldecyl Laurate, Padina Pavonica Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Disodium EDTA, Methylparaben, Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides, Sorbitol, Chlorella Vulgaris Extract, Fragrance (Parfum), Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Algae Extract, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Tocopherol, Equisetum Arvense Extract, Persea Gratissima Leaf Extract (Avocado), Polygonum Fagopyrum Seed Extract, Hydroxyisohexyl 3 Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Acacia Decurrens Absolute, Rosa Damascena Flower Absolute, Butylphenyl Methylpropional

Sunscreen: None

Recommendation: I’m not very keen on this product. Although it does work for some women, for a price like this, I would expect exceptional results. I would suggest you go search for other natural eye creams reviews with equal or better results, for a lower price like Avalon Organics Lavender Revitalizing Eye Gel review

Target Area(s): Puffiness and dark circles – Used as a day and night cream

Price: $7.00 – $26.00

Guarantee: No Guarantee

Most effective for:

• Goes On Smooth
• Moisturizes
• Nice Odor
• Not Greasy
• Has SPF
• Softens
  

  Other positive review:

  My husband uses this product and loves the way it goes on and feels. He has eczema so his skin is very sensitive. This is a great product for all skin types

Other factors to consider:

• does not work for fine lines
• effects are minimal
• too light for serious aging problems

  Other negative reviews:

  Maybe if I started eye creams earlier, this could have worked. But right now, with really bad baggy eyes, I didnt see any difference.

Description: Life's active pace takes its toll on your eyes. Dark circles, puffiness and fine lines begin to appear. Nivea® For Men Revitalizing Eye Creme Q10 provides the skin around the eyes with relief from the signs of tiredness. The superior caring treatment is instantly absorbed and leaves the skin around your eyes feeling smooth and revitalized.

Directions for Use: Use morning and evening after cleansing face with Nivea® For Men's Face Wash. apply from the dispenser directly onto finger and spread gently over the area under your eyes.

Ingredients: Active Ingredients: Avobenzone, Ensulizole

Sunscreen: SPF6

Recommendation: So while the product did help a bit in making my eyes look less tired, some darkness and puffiness on the inside corners of my eyes remained, only slightly improved. I must admit I did like what it did, but overall it wasn't as dramatic as what I might have hoped for. For half an ounce the product is pricey and its up in the air if I might buy this eye cream again. Check out Anthony Logistics For Men Eye Cream review and compare!

Target Area(s): Fine lines – Used as a day and night cream

Price: $24.99 – $51.00

Guarantee: No Guarantee

Most effective for:

• Non-oily
• The high doses attacks problem areas effectively
• The ingredients have been proven to be effective
• There are both long term, and instant results noticed.
• Good scent
• Nice packaging

Other positive review:

I have tried many eye creams in the market, but this is the only eye cream that has worked for me. It totally erased my fine lines.

Other factors to consider:

• It is extremely expensive.
• works best with other Onsen products
• key ingredients have high doses, so may irritate sensitive skin
• There is no guarantee for this product, so you will not have recourse if it does not work for you.

Other negative reviews:

It’s too expensive and it gave me some rashes. It’s probably one of the most horrible anti aging eye creams I’ve tried.

Description:

Onsen’s Anti Wrinkle Face Cream combats the signs of aging by combining the best of science with the wisdom of nature. A formulation of minerals, peptides, anti-oxidants and vitamins.

The best part of this eye cream is definitely its ingredients. These ingredients have been proven to work against the signs of aging such as fine lines, discolorations, and the like. For those who have major wrinkle problems, this eye cream would be great to use. However, if you know you have sensitive skin, this is not the best eye cream for you. You could also check if you are allergic to it by applying it in the inner part of your arm. If no irritation occurs, then you are free to try it on your eye area. You should always make sure that all the eye creams you try are not harmful to your skin, most especially, in the said eye area. Skin there is too thin, and is highly prone to damage.

Another nice thing about this eye cream is the smell, it is quite light scented, and does not have an irritating scent. The packaging is also attractive. It comes in a tub, so if you prefer tubes, this may also be a negative for you. Also note that it is a bit more expensive than other eye creams in the market, but if you’re willing to spend, it would be a good try.

Directions for Use: Dab a small amount under and around the eyes, morning and night.

Ingredients: A formulation of minerals, peptides, anti-oxidants and vitamins.

Sunscreen: None

Recommendation: A danger sign posted for those who have sensitive skin, try to look for a sample before actually buying the product.

Try out other products that have been proven to be effective as well. The Age Defying System by Eliteskin review is considered the second best eye cream among all products we have reviewed.

Target Area(s): Dark circles – Used as a day and night cream

Price: $11.00 – $12.00

Guarantee: Depends on the store

Most effective for:

• Good value
• Not very expensive
• Works for dark circles
• Stinging disappears after a week of use

Other positive review:

This product really works!!! I didn't believe at first that a face cream would actually reduced the appearance of eye dark circles. My wife dark circles were huge and very obscured and this product really reduced them to normal levels. The dark circles didn't dissapear, and I think it was because they were very severe, but my wife is very happy to have just very mild dark circles now instead of really black ones.

Other factors to consider:

• Stings the eyes
• No effects for fine lines, puffy or baggy eyes
• Sometimes causes puffiness around the eyes
• Produces shiny effect

Other negative reviews:

This product did nothing it promised. It dries out the eye area and actually burned so bad it made my eyes water every time I used it. Not worth buying …look for something else!

Description: Vita-K Solution Professional for Dark Circles is of course, designed to diminish or minimize the dark circles around the eyes. The product description, according to its site, is that:

Vita-K Solution Professional Dark Circles minimizes the appearance of Dark Circles. Formulated with ProVita-K Complex combines the remarkable proven benefits of Vitamin K with a unique amino acid/polypeptide complex that significantly improves the appearance of tone and elasticity, and dramatically reduces the appearance of dark circles with the very first application. Enriched with new ProVita-K Complex & mica. New Professional Vita-K Solution provides instant results. No expensive treatments or surgery needed. Clinically Tested & Guaranteed.

In general, it is quite effective on treating those dark circles. Many have already attested to its effectivity as an eye cream for dark circles. What’s best about this product is that it costs less than $20.00, with a price of only 13.30 in Amazon. However, there are some skin types that do not go well with Vita-K Solution Professional for Dark Circles. The most typical negative effects are the stinging of the eye area upon application, and the noticed dryness and puffiness of the skin area being applied. It is said that the stingy feel will disappear after a week or so of use, but there are some women who do not go beyond a single or few applications due to the felt irritation.

Directions for Use: For best results apply a sufficient amount on the desired area twice a day, preferably after shower or bath. Use 4-6 weeks continuously for optimum benefits. When desired results are achieved; continue to use once a day to help keep age spots from reappearing. Results may vary depending on your skin type and condition.

Ingredients: Water, Acrylates Copolymer, ProVita-K Complex, Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapepboe-7, Mica, Nylon-12, Panthenol, Phytonadione – Vitamin K1, Silica, Glycerin, Cellulose Gum, Tetrasodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxide, Propylene Glycol, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.

Sunscreen: None

Recommendation: As an eye cream for dark circles, it is regarded as pretty effective, and I would rate it as a 3. However, if other considerations are also looked upon, like for example other eye area problems, I would rate it as a 2, most especially if you have pretty sensitive skin in that area. Before using, be careful and consider possible irritation. If only bearable, light stings are experienced then it is safe to continue use, if not, check out Korres Eyebright Firming Cream review or our best eye cream reviews for the best choices.

Target Area(s): Fine lines, puffiness and dark circles – Used as a day and night cream

Price: $8.99 – $23.99

Guarantee: Depends on the store

Most effective for:

• Moisturizes slightly
• Minimizes puffy eyes to an extent
• Reduces dark circles around the eyes faintly
• Can be bought for lower prices in some stores
• Some found improvement with baggy eyes

  Other positive review:

  I'm super surprised this product isn't well-liked!! I try not to use concealers….this does exactly what it says it will do….brighten!!! I pat it under my eye & over my lip & in the cleft of my chin!! It does brighten& reduce puffiness. I guess reviews are subjective.

Other factors to consider:

• Clogs pores
• slightly oily
• contains no sunscreen
• Very strong scent
• Could cause acne I have used the cream

  Other negative reviews:

  no improvements whatsoever it felt greasy the smell was just horrid. Stinky and ineffective. Will not buy again.

Description: The site promises a visible change in just one week. “This ophthalmologist-tested formula contains PROTIENT™, a powerful anti-oxidant that works immediately to help alleviate puffiness and help fade under eye dark circles. It also significantly reduces the appearance of fine lines, soothing and moisturizing the overall eye area. This luxurious, lightweight cream is suitable for contact lens wearers. Majority of the users agree with its effectivity in the reduction of fine lines. It also has other pleasant effects with the overall improvement of the skin around the eye area, thus, giving the eyes a more awake look.”

Neutrogena is a very established company and established name in the business. However majority of those women who have tried Neutrogena Radiance Boost Eye Cream found the cream to clog the pores, thus, causing pimples. The application is also not very comfortable, with an oily feel and very strong scent that is identifiable. There are a few women though, who found this to be effective for their type of skin, however, not really identifying their skin type.

Directions for Use: Apply a small amount to each eye morning and night, rubbing it in gently and allowing it to sink it before applying make up on top

Ingredients: Acrylates, C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Ascorbic Acid, BHA, BHT, Butylene Glycol, Butyrospermum Parkii Extract Shea Butter, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Caprylyl Glycol, Carbomer, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Cetyl Alcohol, Cetyl Palmitate, Chlorhexidine Digluconate, Copper Gluconate, Cyclomethicone

Sunscreen: None

Recommendation: Given the negative reports and eye cream reviews this product has been marked in the market, though I haven’t tried this myself, I would have to make a pass. Those who have found Neutrogena Radiance Boost Eye Cream effective didn’t specify what kind of skin type they had, which worked for the formulation of this cream, so I cannot recommend it to anybody as of this moment. There are many eye cream reviews that you would want to check out like the Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Firm review. You can also try our best eye creams ranked 1 to 3 so far.

Target Area(s): Fine lines and puffiness – Used as a day and night cream

Price: $28.99 – $31.99

Guarantee: Depends on the store

Most effective for:

• Not greasy
• Minimizes fine lines
• Pleasant smell
• Works for puffy eyes

Other positive review:

I can't believe the negatives about this product. I love it! It makes the skin around the eye super soft and soaks right in. It isn't heavy and greasy at all. Very light and has a pleasant smell. Thumbs up!
-BeKind20thers

I adore this eye balm! It soaks right in and has really made a wonderful difference in the skin around my eyes in a very short period of time. It also reduces the puffiness when applied in the morning before make-up. -duBarry

Other factors to consider:

• Peels off for some
• Balls under the make-up
• Bad packaging
• Light moisturizing effects
• Gives some women allergies

Other negative reviews:

Terrible! Did nothing and was not hydrating at all… and it was super expensive. Returned it after about a month of using it with no results.
annaginsberg

This eye balm balls up on me! I had to pick the bits off my eye area after it became dry. Not something you want to do in the morning when you are in a rush. I have never used any eye cream that balls up! I used to be curious about L'Occitane's facial skin care products, but this eye balm, in addition to another disappointing product from the same product line, has really turned me off! I think I will never buy any facial products from this brand again.
sallin

Description: Immortelle Eye Balm by L’Occitane is often suggested for the treatment of dark circles. The product is described by the company as such:

An eye cream with anti-aging benefits: Reduce dark circles, puffiness and signs of tiredness around the eyes with this gentle cream. Formulated with Immortelle essential oil, this cream will soothe, moisturize, nourish and tone the delicate skin around the eyes.

Ironically, the positive reviews of the users of Immortelle Eye Balm claim its effectivity more on the reduction of eye wrinkles, rather than the treatment of dark circles. It is said to reduce eye wrinkles, but is mostly useless for those dark circles around the eyes. Other positive points about this eye cream is that its not greasy, and also reduces the puffiness of the eyes. It has been pointed out by many though, that the eye balm has a tendency to ball up when used under make-up. There are also reports of certain allergies experienced after the product use. The eye balm comes in a glass tub, which is mostly disliked by many of the users. It has a light scent that does not irritate or noticeably stay on the face very long.

Directions for Use: To apply, tap a small amount of Eye Balm on the bone around the eye twice daily.

Ingredients: Water, Rosa Centifolia Flower Water, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Proplyene Glycol, Ruscus Aculeatus Root Extract, Glycerin, Myreth-3-Myristate, Neopentyl Glycol Diethylhexanoate, Decyl Oleate, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Polyacrylamide, Helichrysum Italicum Extract, Sorbitol, Dimethicone, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Hedera Helix (Ivy) Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Extract, Tocopherol, Carbomer, Laureth-7, Xanthan Gum, Benzoic Acid, Sucrose Palmitate, Sodium Hydroxide, Dehydroacetic Acid, Tetrasodium EDTA, Glyceryl Linoleate, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Borago Officinalis Seed Oil.

Sunscreen: None

Recommendation: Not effective as an eye cream for dark circles. Rather, you could consider it for the treatment of your fine lines. However, I would like to reiterate the possible side effects and allergies you may experience with the eye cream. I would recommend getting hold of a tester, before buying the actual eye balm.
