As someone who’s really into skincare, I have to admit that I used to spend a small fortune on skincare products that promised to fix my dark under-eye circles. But, after trying countless formulas (and emptying my wallet), I’ve switched to using drugstore eye creams. And trust me when I say they work
just as good, if not better, than anything else I’ve tested. In fact, you can find a lot of the same exact ingredient formulations in drugstore formulas as you can in luxury ones.
“When choosing an eye cream, it’s important to choose ingredients and formulations that are going to give you the results you want, without breaking the bank,” says dermatologist Richard Bottiglione, MD. So, whether you’re struggling with dark circles, puffy eyes, wrinkles, dry skin, heavy eye bags, or anything in-between, it’s important to do some research to find which one fits your specific needs. Thankfully, we’ve done most of the work for you and tested the 12 best drugstore eye creams for every concern, with
help from four dermatologists and WH beauty director Brian Underwood. So, what are you waiting for? Keep scrolling to find the absolute best option for you.
According to dermatologist Margarita Lolis, MD, this eye cream works wonders thanks to peptides, which help make your skin appear firmer and tighter. It also contains niacinamide, known for its skin-repairing abilities, and caffeine to tackle those pesky dark circles.
However, what makes this cream special is its unique formula. Inside the bottle, you’ll find a combination of a hydrating gel and a firming cream, swirled together to create a finish that doesn’t compromise on results.
On top of all that, as Dr. Lolis puts it, “It’s really smooth and lightweight when you apply it under your eyes.” You can even use it under your makeup to achieve a super smooth base that stays put all day long. So, not only does it work well, but it’s also easy to use and perf for keeping your look fresh all day long.
