Best eye-cream Tips. The skin around our eyes is the first place where wrinkles appear so it needs a little extra nurturing with the best eye cream you can find.
Tip 1: Look at what independent consumer tests say what is the best eye cream. If you can't find a consumer report, read the reviews on Amazon.
The Good Housekeeping Research Institute in 2010 got over 800 women to test over 90 brands in various categories (best facial moisturizer, best night cream
, best eye cream, best anti-aging serum
). Their tests were pretty extensive and included objective scientific equipment like the VISIA Complexion Analysis, Corneometer, Chroma meter and Cutometer which can count the number of wrinkles, check moisturising effects etc. The best eye cream winner is:
Best Eye Cream: Winner |
An excellent hydrator, according to the Corneometer moisture study. Visia analysis also showed Olay to be one of the top performers on undereye crinkles, though the results were modest. Study participants highlighted that the eye cream reduced their crow's-feet, puffiness, and undereye bags. It was also favored for its nonirritating, soothing qualities as well. In Olay-X Pro Eye cream the main ingredients used are Caffeine and Niacinamide (Vitamin B3). Niacinamide boosts the skin’s moisture barrier, which helps the natural production of collagen. It also reinforces the outermost layer of skin, and helps reverse the past damage such as discoloration and large pores. |
Best Eye Cream: Honorable Mention |
Got equal highest consumer score overall from the study participant and finished just behind Olay in the lab. This balm-like moisturizer shone in the lab in 3 key areas: ability to reduce crow's-feet, dark circles, and fine lines (tied with Olay). Study participants liked that it firmed the eye area well and did not irritate delicate skin. "This product is soothing and extremely effective," stated one tester. "I saw both immediate and longer-term results." said another. To reduce dark circles and puffiness massage it in gently |
Tip 2: Look at what are the best sellers at the biggest stores e.g., Amazon, Macy's etc.
Best Seller best eye cream: Amazon, Target
|
It seems that Olay comes up trumps again, possibly because this brand does not overprice itself and does a great job. It's on the bestseller list at Amazon and Target. |
Best Seller for best eye cream: Amazon, Walmart
|
Also on the bestseller list of Amazon and Walmart is RoC Retinal Correction cream. Retinoids are recommended by Oprah on Dr Phil and most doctors. Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A helps to unclog pores, boost collagen and reduce wrinkles, and speed cell turnover to even out discoloration and smooth the skin on the face and around the eyes. |
My choice for best eye-cream: I bought the Olay-X Pro Eye cream because it is slightly better value for money if you get it at a good price from Amazon and after using it for 4 weeks, it has made a visible difference.
Facts
Eye creams are best at reducing fine lines below your eyes. First understand you are basically three types of eye cream
Day eye creams – these usually contain a very important ingredient for anti-ageing that use a sunscreen.
Night eye creams – these contain ingredients that may work against sunscreens like AHA and therefore should not be worn during the day.
24 hour eye creams – this is a general catchall and although it may save the cost of buying two eye creams it may be less effective that is a good option if you're pushed for cash.
