Everyone knows that eye creams are the best inventions ever. But, finding an effective and affordable formula is nearly impossible–especially if you’re trying to successfully erase dark circles and reduce under-eye puffiness. When looking for a new eye cream, Dr. Anne Chiu, board-certified, Los Angeles-based dermatologist, says that it’s important to use an eye cream that’s formulated with the right ingredients.
“Regular use of eye cream over time will keep the eyelid skin elastic and can improve or prevent against some fine lines or collagen loss. Remember: Nothing is magic. Results don’t occur overnight,” she tells DermStore. “Creams with vitamin C, retinol, and growth factors encourage thickening of collagen in an area where the skin is delicate and already thin. If you have puffy skin around your eyes.”
