Top 10 Natural Eye Creams and Serums

WHAT IT DOES: Packed with caffeine-rich green tea and coffee, this heavy-hitting eye cream will wake up tired eyes even better than your morning cup of jo.

LOVED FOR: The hydrating formula will sink right into the skin—no greasy under eyes or creased makeup here.

WHAT IT DOES: Powered by resveratrol (the same substance found in red wine), this lifting eye balm enhances your skin's ability to produce hyaluronic acid—the key to plump, hydrated skin.

HELPFUL TIP: This stuff isn't just restricted to the eyes—pat it on and around the lips for a youthful, fine-line-free pout.

WHY YOU NEED IT: Next time you hit up the aisles of Sephora, you definitely shouldn't overlook the retailer's own label. This brightening eye cream from the Sephora Collection is often compared to higher-end products five times the price. At just $16, you don't have much to lose by giving it a go.

USERS SAID: "I’ve tried a handful of other high-rated eye creams, and honestly, this is a steal for the quality—Sephora stepped up their game for sure. It's not greasy, absorbs REALLY well, and makes my entire eye area feel refreshed. My skin is noticeably brightened up."

LOVED FOR: This cooling cucumber eye cream not only fights crows feet and post-Netflix binge puffs, but it also does a number on pesky dark circles. Bye-bye, under-eye concealer.

FUN FACT: Thanks to invigorating ginseng, this game-changing eye cream will give tired eyes a big boost of energy in the A.M.

BEST FOR: Those with aging skin will see major benefits with this youth-boosting formula. With a blend of natural peptides, it'll go to work on wrinkles, puffiness, and bags right as you apply it.

HELPFUL TIP: Though the price tag may be hefty, one bottle goes a long way.

WHAT IT DOES: If you aren't completely convinced that you need an eye cream, just wait until you try this stuff. With a powerful blend of eight peptides, five forms of vitamin C, and cucumber extract, you'll actually feel this cream tighten and depuff instantly. It's an eye-opener in every way.

ABOUT THE BRAND: You won't find what Drunk Elephant calls the "Suspicious 6" in any of their products (essential oils, drying alcohols, silicones, chemical sunscreens, fragrance/dyes, and SLS)—so they're appropriate for all skin types. The brand is also a big supporter of IEF (International Elephant Foundation) and is cruelty-free.

LOVED FOR: Unlike most eye serums, this one has a ceramic tip applicator that gently massages the weightless product onto the eye area—no mess necessary.

HELPFUL TIP: If you find that concealers and foundations tend to dry down under your eyes over the day, you can apply a bit of this eye serum over your makeup for added hydration and radiance.

USERS SAID: "I've been on a clean-beauty kick, and I'm so happy to find that this eye balm works so well! It definitely depuffs and makes me look like I've gotten decent sleep!"

HELPFUL TIP: Due to the lip-balm-like consistency, we'd suggest using this balm at night to really give it time to soak in. 

WHAT IT DOES: Made with caffeine to tighten, vitamin C to brighten, and hyaluronic acid to moisturize, this powerful formula fights the three biggest eye-area offenders—dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles.

HELPFUL TIP: You can get started on your beauty routine right after you apply this—it soaks in fast and won't cause makeup to cake.

USERS SAID: "This is my go-to, everyday eye cream. It moisturizes like nobody's business and the reflective properties make my under-eye circles less noticeable. [...] It stays put and moisturizes ALL DAY—no need to re-apply. It also helps with any puffiness I might have in the mornings."

FUN FACT: Unlike most eye creams, this one is infused with a little bit of shimmer to amp up the brightness—no Instagram filter required.
