5 Eye Creams Every Women Over 40 Should Be Using For Under-Eye Circles

Aging definitely takes a toll on the skin, especially when it comes to the under-eye area. As we age, the skin under our eyes becomes increasingly more sensitive, causing it to thin and make the underlying blood vessels more prominent–which is why dark circles are a thing. And, don’t even get us started on under-eye bags!

“As we get older, everyone loses fat under the surface of the skin,” Hayley Goldbach, a resident physician in dermatology at UCLA, explains to BBC.com on the origin of under-eye circles and puffiness. “Another thing that can lead to bags under your eyes is edema, or swelling.”

Tired of under-eye bags getting you down? All you need is a good eye cream to help depuff and get them taken care of. Here are the best eye creams that are targeted for under-eye circles for those over 40:
