The Top 5 Eye Creams Of 2024

#1: Tru Alchemy Eye Elixir 

Tru Alchemy’s Eye Elixir is made using naturally derived ingredients including, niacinamide, squalane, sodium hyaluronate, caffeine and Activated Vitamin C — a version that's 50x more powerful than traditional Vitamin C. 

Eye Elixir also helps to reduce the appearance of puffy eyes and dark circles with its cooling applicator.

Plus, Tru Alchemy's Eye Elixir gives you the benefits of both an eye serum and an eye cream. Its two-in-one formula applies like a serum, allowing the ingredients to penetrate deeply. As it sets, the elixir transforms into a hydrating cream that locks in moisture.

Tru Alchemy's formula is free of synthetic dyes and fragrances, petroleum, sulfates, and other harsh chemicals. They also offer a 60-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked, which shows us they stand behind their product. 

#2: TULA Probiotic Skin Care Revive & Rewind Revitalizing Eye Cream

Probiotic Skin Care Revive & Rewind Revitalizing Eye Cream by TULA came in at 2nd on our list. It's formulated with squalane, a potent peptide, prebiotics and probiotic extracts, grapeseed and jojoba oils, and green tea extract.

This eye cream may not be for you if you have sensitive skin because it contains sodium hydroxide, an irritating ingredient if used too often. The Probiotic Skin Care Revive & Rewind Revitalizing Eye Cream is, however, free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates, and received many favorable reviews.

TULA offers a 60-day money-back guarantee, which shows that TULA stands behind their products.

#3: Biossance Squalane + Marine Algae Cream

Squalane + Marine Algae Cream by Biossance is our #3 pick because of its deeply hydrating formula that helps visibly "fill in" fine lines and crow’s feet, minimize the look of dark circles, and creates a youthful glow.

This eye cream contains squalane, jojoba esters, and sodium hyaluronate along other moisturizing ingredients.

However, without niacinamide, caffeine, and brightening antioxidants, we couldn't give it higher marks on our list.

Squalane + Marine Algae Cream is backed by Biossance's 60-day, no questions asked money back guarantee, which shows they stand behind their product.

#4: SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Eye Complex

Coming in at 4th on our list is the A.G.E. Eye Complex by SkinCeuticals. This eye cream is formulated with a complex of flavonoids and synergistic peptides, blueberry extract, caffeine, and optical diffusers that reduce the look of dark circles and under-eye bags while creating a firm, tightened look.

While this cream effectively smooths and refines, it falls short in two areas. Unfortunately, it lacks key ingredients like niacinamide, squalane, and sodium hyaluronate. And, it also contains a controversial ingredient—triethanolamine—which may potentially produce toxic byproducts.

It’s suitable for both morning and evening use because of its medium weight. However, some customers complained that the cream doesn't absorb well, leaving skin feeling quite dry. 

We also felt that SkinCeuticals could have offered more than a 30-day money-back guarantee, considering its expensive price point. 

#5: Drunk Elephant C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream

C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream by Drunk Elephant ranks in at 3rd on our list. With 5 forms of Vitamin C, an 8-peptide blend, cucumber, ubiquinone, and Vitamin E, this eye cream helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles.

C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream is a thick, creamy formula, but still some users complained that it left their eye area dryer after use. 

However, it is vegan, cruelty-free and doesn't contain essential oils, silicones, and fragrance. Drunk Elephant also only offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, which may not be enough time to see if the product works for your skin.
