8 Ultra-Effective Eye Treatments

Alchimie products are created and tested by an acclaimed Swiss dermatologist, which is immediately apparent when you delve into the brand’s thoughtful formulations. The Eye Balm is no exception. The texture is ideal for long-lasting and visible treatment of the delicate eye area. Blueberries and vitamin K reduce dark circles while the natural resveratrol found in grapeseed extract helps battle premature aging (and, frankly, regular aging). Plus, clean beauty aficionados will love the fact that it is vegan, cruelty-free, and free of parabens and gluten.

As part of the new ultra-sustainable line from Babor, this eye cream is made from 95 percent naturally derived vegan ingredients and is packaged in recycled materials. The ingredients work together to deeply moisturize the skin (shout out to the plumping benefits of hyaluronic acid), smooth lines, reduce puffiness, and help conceal dark circles. Ideal for those with sensitivities, the eye cream is fragrance free, and the prebiotics and probiotics help support the skin’s microbiome, further adding to its protective properties.

Specifically designed to address stress-induced signs of aging, including dark circles, puffiness, crepiness, and worry lines, this depuffing eye cream is infused with microcapsules of superfoods, adaptogens, and niacinamide (B3) to brighten, smooth, and hydrate the delicate eye area. Niacinamide (vitamin B3) helps improve lipid barrier function to retain moisture, repair fine lines and wrinkles, and significantly reduce redness and breakouts. The potent adaptogen rhodiola helps skin cope with stress, protects against free radicals, and prevents water loss. Meanwhile, coffee arabica helps diminish under eye puffiness and dark circles while also promoting skin’s moisture retention to improve elasticity. This trio of ingredients makes up the brand’s B3Adaptive SuperFoods Complex and is delivered through double wall microencapsulation for the ultimate in product penetration.

A combination of high-tech delivery systems and sustainable natural ingredients make this product an ideal solution for anti-aging and repair of the delicate eye area. It smoothes wrinkles and skin texture, lifts and firms, diminishes dark circles and puffiness, and lightens and brightens.

Pure Fiji’s coconut-based products are a true homage to the bounty of Fiji and the local community that creates the products, and its eye cream is no exception. This powerful anti-wrinkle formulation harnesses the power of pure plant actives to naturally smooth fine lines and fortify delicate skin around the eyes, courtesy of a botanical blend of cold-pressed seed oils, dilo and beach almond hydrosol, green coconut kinetin, and a powerful anti-wrinkle peptide.

Part of New Zealand-based Trilogy’s certified-natural collection, this eye cream is perfect for extremely sensitive skin types, something more and more of us are experiencing as we deal with the irritating effects of wearing face masks. Further adding to the gentle appeal is its lightweight texture and fragrance-free nature. Like all of Trilogy’s products, it is cruelty-free and sustainable and ethically created without toxins, parabens, or GMO ingredients.

A vital element of Versed’s clean, cruelty-free, and affordable skincare offerings, this peach-hued, smooth-textured eye cream smoothes fine lines with a unique blend of algae extracts, peptides, and olive oil that works together to firm and moisturize. Thanks to the mica that is part of the formula, the final, mildly sparkly finish allows for less makeup needed for some users and none at all for others (sadly, not me).

There is a reason bakuchiol has blown up in recent years—it is natural, effective, and much easier on sensitive skin than the vitamin A derivative, retinol, which can cause red, dry, and irritated skin. Enter this soothing eye serum, which is ideal for those who have sensitive and reactive skin around the eye. It still reduces dark circles and puffiness while increasing firmness and tightness, but it is particularly gentle, which adds to its appeal.
