Hands up! Who actually uses an eye cream? If you’re slacking in the eye department, it’s time to stop neglecting this prominent area – it is the most delicate area of skin after all!
We all know fragile items should be handled with appropriate care; but are we prioritising this area with the treatment that is deserves? If you want to start as you mean to go on, here are 5 tried and tested eye creams that our customers swear by…
How to choose your perfect eye cream…
1) Identify your main concern
Choose between fine lines, sensitivity, dark circles or puffiness etc.
2) Stick to textures that you prefer
Avoid balms if you prefer a fresh, gel-like texture
3) Be mindful of your skin type
If you’re prone to sensitivity, choose minimal formulas

I highly recommend this eye cream if you have sensitive eyes or if you are suffering from any kind of irritation/allergic reaction around the eye area. The texture is light, creamy, non-greasy and comes in a tube with thin nozzle. – Jenny131

To smooth away fine lines, the Redermic R Eyes is just what you need. Featuring a 0.1% dose of retinol and 0.2% hit of caffeine, this super-powered eye cream works on wrinkles around the eye contour, making sure your complexion looks youthful and refreshed – it’s even suitable for sensitive skin types too!
Our customers say:
This little tube of eye cream is lovely. The lines around my eyes won’t ever disappear completely, but certainly, the little ones are less noticeable, and the skin around my eyes is softer. The cream/gel like consistency goes on easily, and a little goes a long way. I don’t have sensitive skin, I just prefer to use La Roche-Posay treatment rather than any other brand. – beautyfan1
3. Puffy Eyes

I love this eye serum, it has given me great results. My skin is super sensitive and lots of eye products irritate the thin skin around my eye but not this one! The results have been fantastic, I have seen a huge improvement in the dark circles under my eyes which were really bad. I had tried lots of creams but nothing really worked until I found this. – LauarM

Our customers say:
I purchased this cream a month ago and haven’t regretted it. It has a lovely texture and does a good job in moisturising eyes without feeling too heavy. It does not irritate the eyes -at least not mine- and feels very comfortable all day. I usually get dry skin in the upper eyelid during the winter but this one so far has helped the eye area look and feel hydrated.The fine lines around the eyes look less prominent after a month of use -morning and night. Will re-purchase surely – Aimbo
