Over the years I have learned the importance of incorporating certain products into my skincare routine. A vitamin C moisturizing cream to bring radiance to the complexion, a lip balm that keeps my lips hydrated, a night serum to add moisture, or a sunscreen are essential for the skincare.
This past year I have incorporated eye contour creams, essential for caring for the delicate skin around the eyes, which is thinner and more sensitive than the rest of the face. Its texture is lighter than a facial cream and they absorb quickly to avoid irritating or weighing down the area.
Their benefits are many. They intensely hydrate to prevent dryness and maintain the skin’s elasticity, in addition to reducing dark circles and decongesting the area. They also reduce puffiness, especially if you choose one with actives like caffeine, which reduces swelling.
They help prevent or soften wrinkles, with ingredients such as gentle retinol, peptides or hyaluronic acid, which help to smooth expression lines. And last but not least, they contain antioxidants that help defend the skin from environmental damage.

If you haven’t introduced this product into your routine yet, the perfect moment to do so is now. And to make your search easier, we have selected the ones that work best and are most recommended by beauty experts.
The Best Eye Contour Creams
We start with the Ginseng Power Eye by Erborian, which stands out for including ginseng in its formula, a powerful smoothing ingredient. It is an ingredient inspired by Korean tradition, as effective as retinol in a highly concentrated eye contour. In just 3 minutes it visibly smooths wrinkles, and in 14 days, wrinkles are durably smoothed. Enriched with caffeine, its formula combats dark circles and swelling to achieve visibly fresher eyes, day after day (At Sephora for €45.00).

From Clarins we have the Total Eye Lift, an expert treatment that visibly transforms the look, thanks to a double innovation in science and formula. It incorporates a potent bio Harungana extract as effective as retinol and gentle for the eye contour. This active, with patented efficacy, boosts collagen production. It is combined with a new extract of red Jania derived from biotechnology for a long-lasting lifting effect. Its balm-texture forms a tightening network over the skin for an immediate lifting effect (At Sephora for €92.00).
The Best Eye Contour Creams
From Laneige I choose the Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic, an eye contour that calms and hydrates the skin thanks to its light texture. It restores a healthy glow to this sensitive area, brightens the under-eye bags and the tired, dull look, while reducing the appearance of expression lines. Its formula contains blue hyaluronic acid, a unique hyaluronic acid fermented with deep-sea algae. Its low molecular weight allows it to act on the skin for intense hydration. Coconut and glutathione form a protective barrier that helps retain moisture (At Sephora for €39.00).
The Best Eye Contour Creams
Lastly, the Hyaluronic Eye Cream from Mario Badescu, which nourishes the skin around the eyes and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. The usage method is very simple: store it in a cool, dry place and use your ring finger to apply a small amount to the eye contour (At Sephora for €25.00).
