Face cream is not suitable for delicate eyelid skin because its texture is too thick, which can cause swelling. Gels, creams, serums for the skin around the eyes come in separate lines. You can start using them at a fairly early age - if you actively care for your eyelids already at 20-25 years old, the appearance of serious age-related problems can be delayed for a decent amount of time. Once fine mesh and deep crow's feet appear, it will be much more difficult to get rid of them. The main requirements for eye creams are hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and effective. A high price is completely unnecessary - there are many products on sale that are quite affordable.
Why does your skin need hydration?
You must use a special eye cream - it is an important component of your beauty arsenal. The fewest sebaceous glands on our body are located in the areas of the hands and eyes - that’s why they are dry and age quickly. If you do not take proper care of your eyes, wrinkles will appear early - and no genetics can save you (this is especially true for girls with active facial expressions). Find the rating of the best eye creams after 30.
If you don't use eye cream, expect crow's feet to appear early.

Read about eye creams after 40.
Eye cream is selected strictly taking into account age - if you are 25, there is absolutely no need for a product in the “40+” category, since it solves other problems.
It is advisable to properly care for your eyelids after the age of 25 or even earlier - you don’t need to wait until the first wrinkles and creases appear. At first, these may be gel formulas with aloe, nettle, green tea, but later you will need heavier “artillery”.
After 30, collagen is produced slowly, so wrinkles make themselves felt. After 40, it becomes even drier and thinner, requiring hydration and nutrition. The older you are, the more active nourishing cream for the eyelid area is needed. Also, the skin of the eyelids, regardless of age, needs protection from aggressive UV radiation.

Every woman at some point in her life begins to notice that her eyes do not shine as much as before. It’s not at all a matter of sad events: over the years, wrinkles appear around the eyes, the circles under the eyes stop going away, the eyelids swell. At some point, these changes become noticeable, and caring for this delicate area becomes a necessary measure.
On the Internet and in cosmetics stores you can find a thousand and one products for caring for the skin around the eyes. They differ in many characteristics, but which one is better? In order not to waste time and money on unnecessary nonsense, we bring to your attention a rating
How to choose the best eye cream
Before choosing the best options, you need to understand the differences between the products. Of course, the manufacturers themselves indicate on the packaging the difference between their “magic cream” and the neighboring “incredible gel,” but many of the components in their composition will be the same. It is important to focus not only on the manufacturer, but also on the composition, your age category, skin type and even the time of year.
There are several types of skin care products around the eyes.
- Gels that remove bags under the eyes and “refresh the look.” They are most often used immediately after waking up or during breaks in the middle of the working day.
- Masks that are used to deeply moisturize delicate skin. They usually have an oily texture, so they are applied in the evening.
- Creams designed for daily care of the area, smoothing wrinkles and preventing aging. They are universal, day and night.
It is most profitable (and more necessary) to choose products for everyday care. A mask once a week will be less useful than regularly applying a proven composition. But it is also necessary to have other products for caring for the skin around the eyes. You need to focus on your feelings after use, and to be sure of your choice, study the rating of the cream for the skin around the eyes.
What should be included for each age
It is necessary to take care of the area around the eyes even before the first wrinkles appear. We blink all the time, often squint, so signs of aging appear here much earlier than in other areas. In addition, if you properly prepare your skin, it will age much slower.
From the age of 20 it is necessary to use creams that prevent the appearance of wrinkles. They should be refreshing and contain green tea, calendula or aloe. The texture of the product for this age should be light, the cream should be applied in a thin layer.
After age 25, collagen production slows down and fine lines and wrinkles become noticeable. But it’s not worth purchasing a firming cream yet - it’s better to nourish the skin with vitamins, healthy extracts and thoroughly moisturize it. The cream for this age should contain vitamins, flower extracts and, of course, moisturizing components. If you choose the right care at this age, you will be able to delay the appearance of wrinkles for a long time.
The age when you need to carefully select a cream for the skin around the eyes is 30. The rating of lifting creams includes this age category. At this age, the skin becomes much thinner, which means more intensive care is needed. The composition should contain vitamins E, A and C, collagen, fruit extracts, grape seed oil or collagen - you can do it all at once.
The age when a woman simply needs a cream for the skin around her eyes is 35, the rating below is especially for you if you have crossed this mark. Such products must necessarily have a sunscreen filter and a variety of useful elements; collagen or hyaluronic acid must appear in the composition.
Every year, care for the areas around the eyes should include more products to moisturize and nourish the skin. You also need to choose those products that promote collagen production, tighten the skin, make it stronger and more elastic. At the same time, there are some products that absolutely cannot be included in the cream.
5 components that shouldn't be in there
- Caffeine takes away precious moisture from an already dehydrated area, causing wrinkles to appear faster.
- Parabens affect hormonal levels, which can cause serious health problems at the age of 30+.
- Sodium Chloride irritates the skin, dries it out, which can result in inflammation.
- Octyl Stearate clogs pores.
- Propylene Glycol and Isopropyl Myristate may cause allergies.
Inexpensive but effective
Separately, it is worth highlighting the rating of eye cream in the low price category. For many, buying an expensive product is an unaffordable luxury, but even among cheap creams there are some that do their job well. Of course, you shouldn’t compare them with exclusive brands - they are significantly inferior, but there are better ones among them.
- Eye cream “Ideal Skin” from the company “Clean Line”. For 60 rubles you will buy a good product that moisturizes the skin well and nourishes it with essential nutrients. If you use “Ideal Skin” regularly, the rejuvenating effect will be noticeable after a few months. Customers believe that Clean Line is excellent for daily moisturizing.
- Cream from the Belarusian company “Belita Q10” for only 70 rubles actively fights against minor signs of aging, nourishes and moisturizes the skin. But its texture is greasy, as many customers note, and some components cause allergies in many.
- “Black Pearl” series for different ages. Starting from 100 rubles, you can enjoy the fairly effective effects of the cream, which are appreciated by many customers. The company has generally established itself as an excellent domestic manufacturer that cares about women’s health.
Other inexpensive means, alas, do not cope so well with the task. Therefore, if none of the above options suits you, and you cannot find a suitable cream for the skin around the eyes, the rating of the best products will definitely help you.
But remember: the selection of skin care products is always individual. Even the best and most expensive creams may not be suitable for you personally for many reasons, so you need to rely on personal experience.
Fifth place: AHAVA
Our rating of cream for the skin around the eyes begins with the company AHAVA. This Israeli brand is making a real splash among our girls and women. Almost 100% hit: unusual structure, minimal consumption (one drop is enough for both eyes), excellent reviews and characteristics. If you look for information about this eye cream, customer reviews are mostly positive.
Calendula extract and aloe juice prevent inflammation; vitamin B5, centela and date palm fruits regenerate cells and smooth out wrinkles. The cream also eliminates signs of fatigue, nourishes the skin, and moisturizes it.
The price of AHAVA cream starts from $50. The only negative is that it is quite difficult to find the product in stores and pharmacies, and potential customers complain about this inconvenience. But if one of your friends is lucky enough to visit Israel, ask to buy the cream there - it will be much cheaper.
Fourth place: Guerlain
German “Guerlain Abeille Royale Up-Lifting Eye Care” is deep hydration and good nutrition of the skin. It contains natural ingredients and honey, which do an excellent job with fine wrinkles. Also, many girls like this product for its light texture, lack of a strong odor and the fact that it is quickly absorbed.
A 15 ml jar costs about $75. The main disadvantage of the cream is that it is completely unsuitable for those who are allergic to bee products.
Third place: Dr. Brandt
Glow by Dr. Brandt is a unique eye cream. The ranking of the best cannot do without this product from an American cosmetologist.
Retinol in the composition has a noticeable effect on the condition of the skin: in just a month of use, wrinkles are smoothed out, skin color is evened out, and the area itself looks healthy, toned and elastic. The product can be used at any time of the day, as a makeup base, moisturizer or mask. Almost a photoshop effect in a jar with a dispenser!
The miracle remedy costs from 4,500 rubles. Among the disadvantages - many customers do not like the “shine” on the eyelid, which is hidden only with the help of powder.
Silver: Skin Doctors Eyesmooth
Skin Doctors products are a line of “pharmacy” brands. The unusual structure of the cream initially worries customers a little, as small grains of retinol are felt in it. But literally after a few moments the product is absorbed and saturates the skin with the substances necessary to smooth out wrinkles.
The product is hypoallergenic, high-quality and gives a wonderful result: customers note that after a month of use, small wrinkles disappear almost completely, large wrinkles are smoothed out by more than half, the skin becomes elastic and taut.
It also costs around the eyes from $40 for 15 ml, but finding it in a regular pharmacy is almost impossible - you need to order the anti-aging product via the Internet. But for the sake of such a quick and effective result, many are ready to wait.
The best cream for the skin around the eyes
Shiseido Bio-Performance Super Corrective Eye Cream is rightfully considered the winner among creams. It doesn't just fill the skin with hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin - it promotes their natural production in the body.
The cream is very economical, and its effect is noticeable immediately after application - the skin looks fresh, bags under the eyes disappear. In just a few days, fine wrinkles begin to disappear, and after 3 weeks, the skin around the eyes becomes many times younger, and deep signs of old age disappear. The cream is equally liked by both customers over thirty and women over forty, who appreciated the quick and lasting effect of this miracle product.
Shiseido costs about 5,000 rubles, you can buy it on the official website or in a cosmetic store. The Bio-Performance series also includes serum, exfoliating pads, cream-balm and many other products that can help you remove years of skin off your face.
