The skin around our eyes is the most delicate on our faces. As we age and that skin becomes thinner and even more fragile, it makes sense that this is the area that tends to show those pesky first few signs of aging. Whether you’re dealing with fine lines and crow’s feet, puffiness, dark pigmentation, or saggy skin, finding a quality eye cream you love is a really smart investment.
But with so many options — I mean, everywhere you turn you can find an eye cream that boasts ingredients like peptides, caffeine, and even gold — how can you sort through the options to come up with a star product?
Cue your favorite celebrities. Celebs like Jessica Alba, Kim Kardashian, and Mila Kunis have access to every skincare product under the sun. Brands (literally) send them baskets of goodies, including the very best eye serums and creams. And, that’s why if a celebrity goes out of her way to praise an eye cream, you know it’s going to be a good one.
Here are six eye creams celebrities swear by for younger-looking skin:
Jessica Alba
Honest Beauty Magic Balm ($17.69)
It may not be a true eye cream, but this creamy all-purpose beauty balm is the one Jessica Alba relies on when she wants her face to appear alive and awake—and of course she applies it under and around her eyes. This blend of organic fruit and botanical oils is from Alba’s Honest Beauty line, of course, but that only means you have to trust she would never use anything on her skin that isn’t completely natural.
Its ingredients include sunflower seed oil, shea butter, beeswax, and coconut oil. When describing her five-minute morning beauty routine, the actress and business mogul says she “taps” this balm around her eyes, as well as her cheekbones and cupid’s bow.
In addition to immediately taking care of dry skin and making your eyes look a thousand times smoother and more hydrated, Beauty Balm serves as a subtle and natural highlighter. Plus, it's perfect for mornings when you forget concealer!
Ashley Tisdale
La Mer The Eye Concentrate ($205)
Actress Ashley Tisdale is one of the many celebs who counts herself a huge fan of this pricey, but worth-every-penny eye cream. Its key beneficial ingredient is hematite, a magnetically charged mineral that helps lighten and brighten dark circles and any other hyperpigmentation that’s messing with your skin tone. A tiny amount of this luxury eye cream goes a long way and it’s even more effective at contouring and toning your skin when you keep it in the fridge.
Charlize Theron
Brilliance New York Age Defying Caviar Eye Serum ($75)
What do you get when you blend a patented amino complex, exclusive diamond peptide and antioxidant grape seed extract with rich caviar extract that boosts collagen production and makes fine lines and wrinkles practically invisible? This nourishing eye serum that actress Charlize Theron adores. Theron’s makeup artist Emilio Uribe reportedly uses it before makeup as a base and the celeb even saves a bit for her décolleté.
Kendall Jenner
Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment With Avocado ($29)
Kendall Jenner reportedly uses this avocado-enriched eye cream every night before bed to keep wrinkles and under-eye bags at bay--and it’s clearly working! This intensely hydrating and nourishing cream contains a wealth of amino acids, vitamins A, D, and E, and shea butter to banish dry skin from your life. And the price is refreshingly affordable for a top celeb choice.
Kim Kardashian
Epione Signature Series Eye Rejuvenation Serum ($145)
Count on Kim Kardashian to seek out a top-notch eye serum no one has ever heard of — one that she then makes a bestseller. This eye serum is formulated with vitamin K and a peptide complex to boost collagen production, reduce puffiness and bags, and give you Kardashian-like contour magic.
First Aid Beauty Eye Duty Triple Remedy ($36)
Kudos to Selena Gomez for loving this affordable eye cream as much as we do! It’s a 3-in-1 winner that de-puffs, hydrates and smoothens your skin, and illuminates your entire under-eye area to lighten dark circles. Effective ingredients like GABA, caffeine, and licorice root repair your skin and the applicator’s stainless steel tip does a way better job at addressing swollen eyes than your fingers ever could.
