Getting older is an unfortunate fact of life. However, that doesn’t have to mean that your skin ages with you. Your under eyes are one of the biggest indicators of your age, so it’s important to include products in your skincare routine that help to heal and nourish that area to minimize dark circles, wrinkles, and sagging skin. If you’re in the market for a new product to add to your skincare lineup to reverse aging and lift your features without going under the knife, these are the four best, dermatologist approved formulas to do the trick.

OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Eye Crème 

 

This cult favorite eye cream is perfect for brightening the skin under the eyes and diminishing the appearance of wrinkles while color correcting. According to The Derm Review, the Vitamin C in this product is particularly useful for anti aging. “Vitamin C is beneficial to the skin because it is a very potent antioxidant. Antioxidants work by limiting oxidative damage caused by free radicals, the unstable molecules that contribute to the formation of premature wrinkles and fine lines on the skin. Vitamin C is also known to help brighten the skin tone and decrease the appearance of dark spots through inhibition of melanin synthesis.”

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Eye Gel-Cream 


If a drugstore cream is more within your price range, this option from Neutrogena still contains many of the same benefits with a considerably lower price tag. Dr. Joshua Zeichner explains to Self, “To prevent dryness and irritation, stick to hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump the skin.” This gel-cream works to combat dryness, moisturizing the skin and allowing for your youthful glow to shine through.
