Many people have a love-hate relationship with eye creams, because it's either they work or they just don't. They usually don't give immediate results either, but some are definitely worth the wait. So if you aren't in the mood for products that'll waste your time, we've got you covered. We asked beauty influencers to share their tried-and-tested eye cream formulas that could work for you, too!
The Best Eye Creams, According to Beauty Influencers
1. Ginel Diaz (@ginelmd)
Favorite eye cream: AHC Age Defense Real Eye Cream for Face
"My fave eye cream would be AHC's Age Defense Real Eye Cream for Face. I love that it's an eye cream that you can also apply to your entire face. It feels like butter on the skin, it’s not heavy and non-irritating. Best of all, it helps keep my eye area moisturized, brighter and younger-looking."

Favorite eye cream: Sisley L'Integral Anti-Age Eye & Lip Contour Cream
"I rarely get to hit the pan or reach the last drop when it comes to many of my skincare products, but this Sisley L'Integral Anti-Age Eye & Lip Contour Cream is something I’ve replenished again and again. The skin around the eyes and the lips are similar, being thin and requiring extra care, so it makes sense to have an eye cream like this that can also address lip aging.
"This cream works by promoting energy in the mitochondria (the way to go is really to go to the cell!) and protecting telomeres. Telomeres keep on multiplying until we reach a certain age and the activity just slows down or stops. This is what makes us old, apparently. I can go on and on about the formulation which has peptides (my favorite) and other plant extracts that work on other signs of aging. It also comes with a limited edition Ridoki massage tool, which just truly makes a difference when it comes to application."

Favorite eye cream: Shiseido White Lucent Anti-Dark Circles Eye Cream
"My holy grail eye cream is the Shiseido White Lucent Anti-Dark Circles Eye Cream. It targets two of my biggest concerns when it comes to my undereyes—fine lines and dry skin. It works by being very moisturizing and refreshing, and a little also goes a long way! It may be pricey but you only really need a bit of product at a time! In addition to this, I have sensitive eyes and it’s great to know this eye cream is tested to have no irritants that could trigger sensitivity on my eye area. A huge factor for me is that it also sits well under my makeup."

Favorite eye cream: Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Cream
"The Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Cream. It is my favorite for the fact that my undereye area is well-hydrated and lines were visibly reduced."

Favorite eye cream: Innisfree Jeju Orchid Eye Cream
"My holy grail eye cream is Innisfree’s Jeju Orchid Eye Cream. I’m currently on my third jar and I first discovered it when my sister brought it home from Korea as pasalubong a few years ago. I like it because it never fails to revitalize the skin around my eyes. It’s slightly thick but gets absorbed easily. Plus points that I can use it while I’m currently pregnant!"

Favorite eye cream: Murad Vita-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector
"Using this in the long run, I noticed the most changes in my dark circles. What I like the most about this product is that it has an orange tint to it with light-reflecting micro-minerals which help to instantly brighten your eye area."

Favorite eye cream: Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti-Aging + Intensive Eye Repair Serum
"I've tried everything from drugstore brands to clean beauty brands to La Mer. But, the one I keep going back to is the Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti-Aging + Intensive Eye Repair Serum. I have hooded eyes, so I like that it lifts and tightens the skin. I also noticed that my dark circles lightened and the creases around my eyes became less obvious. The changes happen gradually (not dramatically overnight!), so be patient. You’ll get better results when you use it regularly."

Favorite eye cream: Paula’s Choice Clinical Ceramide-Enriched Firming Eye Cream
"Mine's not necessarily holy grail yet, but at the top of the list of the ones I’ve tried so far is the Paula's Choice Clinical Ceramide-Enriched Firming Eye Cream. I'm loving it because it has a very low concentration of retinol which helps with wrinkles, nourishing ceramides and most importantly, vitamin C that helps in firming and brightening my dark under-eyes which is my main concern."

Favorite eye cream: Shiseido White Lucent Anti-Dark Circles Eye Cream
"As a beauty content creator, I've tried a bunch of eye creams already but one my ultimate faves would have to be the Shiseido White Lucent Eye Cream. I've gone through three or four tubs in the past couple of years. I like using it both for day and night since it’s very moisturizing, which is important for me, and it also offers some sort of brightening as well.
"I find that my eye area looks a bit more brighter when I have this in my routine. It claims to help with dark under eyes as well, but I don't see a great difference over time, I feel like the brightening effect only stays for a short while. Having said that, I still do enjoy this as it’s everything I want in an eye cream; moisturizing, thick enough for the night time, and thin enough to use under makeup. Overall, it’s such a pleasant product to have in my routine."

Favorite eye cream: Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Eye Cream
"My holy grail eye cream is the Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Eye Cream. I love it because it's creamy but light, it’s anti-aging, and I really enjoy the Hanbang scent."
