Eye cream is something that 20-something me would have definitely skipped.
I’d just wake up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, roll out of bed, and call it a day. But 30-something me has a kid, and let’s just say my skin doesn’t bounce back the way it used to. My nighttime routine has gotten a little bougier, with more steps and more TLC, especially for the delicate skin under my eyes that seems to need extra love these days.
Derms say the skin around your eyes is much thinner and more sensitive than the rest of your face, which means eye creams should be extra hydrating, nourishing, and protective. When I’m browsing for a new one, I look for gold-standard ingredients like peptides, ceramides, and collagen, plus targeted boosters like caffeine to tackle under-eye circles and puffiness. The Solawave LightBoost Eye Cream ($43.14) checks all those boxes and then some. I’d heard the buzz (and noticed the fact that A-listers like Nicole Richie swear by it for red-carpet-ready eyes), so I did a little digging, and here’s what I found.
If you already use (or have been eyeing) Solawave’s viral 4-in-1 Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand, the LightBoost Eye Cream is basically its perfect match. It’s designed to supercharge your light therapy results, helping to further reduce visible signs of aging while strengthening and smoothing the skin. The key lies in the brand’s proprietary LightBoost technology, which amplifies the effects of red light therapy for even more visible results. In short, it’s your skincare’s secret weapon.
The formula itself truly does it all (lifting, smoothing, de-puffing, and brightening), thanks to powerhouse ingredients like vegan collagen, caffeine, growth factors, and multi-peptides. And because Solawave takes its science seriously, every LightBoost product is dermatologist-tested, non-comedogenic, clean, vegan, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, and made without gluten. It’s gentle enough for everyday use, but powerful enough to deliver results you can actually see.
Even celebs are fans. Nicole Richie used this exact combo (her Solawave wand plus the LightBoost Eye Cream) to prep for the CFDA Awards last year, proving that this duo isn’t just for Sunday nights in.
Amazon shoppers are equally obsessed. “I was having issues with my under eyes being dry and this is the only product that fixed that! I absolutely love this,” one reviewer raved. Another wrote, “Amazing eye cream—it’s extremely lightweight and does a great job firming and reducing wrinkles near my eyes.” And my personal favorite: “Oh. My. Goodness. The absolute bliss of using this!”
If there’s one small drawback, it’s that some shoppers wish the bottle were a little larger, but given how rich and effective the formula is, a little really does go a long way. And at just over $40, it’s still relatively affordable for a high-performance eye cream. Give it a try—it might give your skin that extra “I’ve been sleeping eight hours a night” kind of glow you’ve been looking for.
