Best Eye Creams

Kate Gosselin called this eye gel her "Botox in a jar" in People Magazine and her claim had women scrambling to get a jar for themselves. So is it really worth Gosselin's claim that she doesn't get Botox, she uses this instead and it made her eyes look younger? Probably. The Ultimate Eye Gel consistently makes the "best" lists for beauty editors and the ingredients are winners. Calendula and cucumber revitalizes fatigued and puffy eyes while intensely hydrating humectants plump up the eye area.

Perhaps the granddaddy of eye creams, Yves Saint Laurent's Temps Mejeur is actually the eye cream I use on a daily basis. It goes on smoothly, plumps up the area around the eye and feels simply delicious. I've only been using it for a month, but already I've noticed a difference in the fine lines and wrinkles I'm developing around my eyes. This came highly recommended by beauty experts I personally trust, so I splurged and I'm happy I did it. One jar should last me about 6 months and I use it twice a day. It also gets great reviews on Makeupalley.com.

This product gets rave reviews by the editors at Lucky Magazine and the reviewers on Makeupalley.com. Formulated with ginseng extract and vitamin C derivative, Shiseido's eye treatment reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and may also be used around lips.

These eye patches are a favorite of celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe, who suffers from undereye puffiness due to her hectic lifestyle. (If you watch her show, you'll see Zoe in fact does have mongo undereye puffiness).

Zoe recommended these patches in one of her daily "Zoe Report" newsletters in 2009. “When my routine Venti Awake Tea (+2 Splendas, please) doesn’t cut it, I rely on these paraben-free, fragrance-free patches of wonder to liven up,” she wrote.

These gel patches were created with soothing ingredients to fix puffy eyes.

MAC is known more for its makeup lines than its skincare products, but this caffeinated eye cream is a hit with my readers and Makeupalley reviewers. It de-puffs, erases the look of dark circles, firms, soothes and softens skin around the eye. Special optics act like magic to fade away lines.

If you suffer from dark undereye circles and are looking for your miracle product, this just might be it. at $88, it's not cheap, but put this on your eyes in the morning and at night and you'll likely see a huge difference. Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe swears by it and I had a chance to try it out myself and loved how it felt on my skin (I don't have undereye circles so I can't make claims to how it works on them). Keep in mind that this product is paraben-free and comes in recycled packaging, all good things for the eco-conscious woman. 

This is a serum created for the face, but is used by many beauty experts on the delicate eye area. A great buy at under $20.

Beloved for it's depuffing and brightening abilities, this eye cream gets rave reviews on Makeupalley.com. It's also great for lightening dark circles under the eyes.
