6 Best Eye Creams + Eye Masks for Mature Eyes

| ,

Out of all the skincare categories that I review, eye creams are the most requested. Often the eye area is the first to show signs of aging so investing in the right eye cream can really help to slow down this process. I rarely review or feature eye creams because so few actually impress me enough to recommend. So many provide the same or similar results which can make it hard to decide which one is best for you. After testing dozens of eye creams over the past few years, I have a select few that I stick with and regularly repurchase. Additionally, I wear an under eye mask nearly every morning to help with puffiness and hydration as soon as I wake up. I’ve also tested TONS of eye masks but only have three that I repurchase and consistently recommend. If you are in need of a new eye cream or eye mask to specifically help mature eyes, this is the post to read!

6 Best Eye Creams For Mature Eyes

OneSkin OS-01 Eye Topical Supplement (discount code: MAREE15)

The OneSkin Eye Topical Supplement is the eye cream I consistently repurchase because it targets all my concerns. If you struggle with dehydration and dry under eyes, this is the most gloriously rich formula that will help bring moisture back to this area. In addition to helping moisturize the delicate skin under the eyes, it will help  firm sagging skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. My issue with most thicker eye cream formulas is that they give me milia which can take months to go away. This is one of the only eye creams that doesn’t give me milia while still delivering intense nourishment + firming and smoothing benefits. I prefer to use it in my evening routine.

Dieux Auracle Eye Serum

I need something intensely hydrating but lightweight in the morning. I want to prep my under eye area for makeup while using a formula that won’t disrupt any concealer or foundation I put on top of it. This is one of the best hydrating eye serums I’ve ever tried. It gives instant moisture to the area, helps to depuff, smooth fine lines and keep my under eye area hydrated all day long.

Then I Met You Snail Mucin Eye Cream (discount code: MAREE10)

While nothing will help plump the under eye area like an actual cosmetic procedure, but this is one of the few eye creams that can help in a less intensive way. It’s designed to help plump, firm and brighten the eye area. Formulated with 30% snail mucin (it’s actually an amazing skincare ingredient), 5% volufiline and 1% caffeine, I love using this eye cream in the morning because it feels so refreshing and wears beautifully under makeup. Compared to the Dieux Auracle Eye Serum, this has the added plumping benefit that can help make the eyes look less hollow.

Dieux Forever Eye Mask

If you find yourself repurchasing eye masks and under eye gels constantly and want to find an alternative option that still gives great results, the Dieux Forever Eye Masks are a great choice. The Forever Eye Masks were the first product launched by Dieux Skincare. They focused on the idea of sustainability and getting more out of your current eye creams and serums. These masks are made with medical grade silicone and are designed to be reused over and over. Apply them over your favorite eye cream or serum for a more targeted treatment and better absorption. Using the Forever Eye Masks allow the products to fully sink in. And leave the eye area looking hydrated and better prepped for the day.

Abib Collagen Eye Patches

For an affordable eye mask that do no move and do a great job at hydrating, these are my favorite. I have tried dozens of eye patches but constantly repurchase these because of how well they perform. These feel hydrating, soothing and stay in place until you remove them. I also love that they turn clear after wearing them for a few minutes so if I decide to wear them in the morning when I take my son to school, nobody can tell! Ha!

YSE Beauty Overachiever Eye Masks (discount code: MAREE30)

I have tried more under eye masks that I care to count and NONE have stayed in place like these do. These do not move once you place them under the eyes! Most eye masks will slip down as I am wearing them. But these stay in place perfectly and really help to hydrate and smooth out the under-eye area. They are not wet or damp like other eye masks which helps them adhere to the under eye area perfectly. There is an instant cooling sensation when you put them on which I love. The masks are formulated with vitamin c, peptides and allantoin to help smooth fine lines and reduce puffiness. I’ve repurchased these more times than I can count and recommend them to everyone!

9. If you have not browsed the new arrivals at Old Navy, I highly recommend you do. They have stepped up their game in a major way!
