But has extra ingredients like silicones and shimmer (mica) to give the illusion of brightened and smoother skin! So in that sense, it works to lighten dark eye circles!

Many users are satisfied with the effect. This eye cream can diminish darkness and puffiness for those with mild ‘panda-eyes’. And so you will not need as much makeup to conceal them.

This is not the case for everyone though. Some users don’t notice any visible improvement. While a handful get irritated and watery eyes due to a slight stinging sensation post-application.

Besides that, the Sukin Purely Ageless Reviving Eye Cream has a light, non-greasy texture and produces a cooling refreshing sensation when used.

The texture of the VIBRANT GLAMOUR Peptide Eye Cream is non-sticky. And it leaves a dewy finish while locking in moisture in the skin.

After patting on the product, it leaves skin feeling fresh, hydrated, and soft!

But for a handful of reviewers, the product does not appear to do anything to shrink their eyebags or dark circles.

And at ~RM20, the effectiveness of VIBRANT GLAMOUR Peptide Eye Cream is questionable.

10. AHC Time Rewind Real Eye Cream For Face (9^th Edition)

Like its predecessor (AHC Time Rewind Real Eye Cream For Face 8th Edition), the AHC Ageless Youth Lasting Real Eye Cream for Face (9th Edition) is affordable Korean eye cream is marketed as an all-rounder product – you can use it for both your face and under eyes.

The AHC Ageless Youth Lasting Real Eye Cream for Face (9th Edition) is notably cheaper too (~RM25 vs ~RM40).

Calendula flower extract tops the now shorter ingredient list of the AHC Ageless Youth Lasting Real Eye Cream for Face (9th Edition) in place of rice protein as with the (AHC Time Rewind Real Eye Cream For Face 8th Edition).

But both versions prominently feature bifida ferment lysate, a probiotic ingredient. That has being recognized by big names like Estee Lauder for its ability to improve your skin’s barrier.

Furthermore, the AHC Ageless Youth Lasting Real Eye Cream for Face (9th Edition) has a richer consistency compared to the 8^th edition –  whichmeans that the AHC Ageless Youth Lasting Real Eye Cream for Face (9th Edition) is particularly good for those with dry skin.

The texture of the 9^th edition eye cream is a light cream that absorbs easily. It’s very moisturizing  with a cooling, menthol-like effect.

On top of that, the 9^th edition has a pleasant but strong fragrance (the 8^th edition has a herbal scent to it). So if you don’t like strong smells, you might want to get a fragrance-free eye cream instead.

While it will differ for everyone, many do see a noticeable improvement in dark circles!

Basically, the AHC Ageless Youth Lasting Real Eye Cream for Face (9th Edition) is suitable for those with dry skin. Plus, it’s definitely budget friendly!

Note: We didn’t find any reports on breakouts but we always advise to do a patch test when trying out new products.

Pros:

• Affordable
• Thick consistency is suitable for dry skin
• May result in noticeable improvements for dark circles
• Smells nice

Cons:

• Has a strong fragrance
• May be too rich for oily skin due to thickness of cream (shea butter base)

11. SOMEBYMI Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream

This light textured, super absorbent eye cream by SOMEBYMI packs a punch for those looking to start on anti-aging skin care with retinol.

Because the SOMEBYMI Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream not only contains 0.1% retinol and retinal but also glycerine and niacinamide; all great anti-aging and brightening ingredients.

It is marketed as an all-rounded skin care product so you can apply it on your whole face and even hands.

Alternatively, since it has niacinamide, it can double as a dark spot treatment as well.

Moreover, the light consistency of this eye cream absorbs into the skin well.

However, we did find some nasties in the formula. One of these is kava kava extract (or piper methysticum leaf/ roof/ stem extract) which can be an irritant for sensitive skin.

There is also BHA (Butylated Hydroxy Anisole), which is an artificial preservative that could be a possible carcinogen according to cancer.org.

With the SOMEBYMI Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream, it is entirely possible to experience redness and dryness around the eye area for the first couple of days so those with sensitive skin will want to test a small patch first!

Note: In general, skin in needs time to get used to retinol-based products, and therefore, you should use these products sparingly at first. This is especially important for those who have skin allergies such as eczema or rosacea who may want to skip these products altogether.

Overall, the SOMEBYMI Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream is an affordable eye cream and can be beneficial for those who are on a budget but want a retinol-based eye cream.

If you have skin sensitivity, take care to introduce this product gradually into your routine.

Pros:

• Affordable
• Contains niacinamide for brightening
• Light texture so it doesn’t feel heavy on face
• Can be used for entire face
• Subtle scent
• Does not feel greasy
• Don’t need to use a lot in one application

Cons:

• More risk for sensitive skin (retinol-based product and contains kava kava extract)
• Contains fragrance (unnecessary ingredient)
• Can make the area around the eyes dry
• Contains BHA (Butylated Hydroxy Anisole) which could be a carcinogen

12. Innisfree Green Tea Seed Eye Cream

Green tea is a powerful antioxidant. And Innisfree Green Tea Seed Eye Cream uses green tea water as its base.

You might notice that the skin under your eyes is drier if you use a lot of makeup remover and makeup on that area. If that’s the case, the Innisfree Green Tea Seed Eye Cream is a good candidate for you.

Because the Innisfree Green Tea Seed Eye Cream focuses on nourishing, moisturizing, and firming the skin under your eye.

Many agree that the cream texture of this eye cream is thick and oily, which can make application a little messy. But that makes it economical too since you don’t need a lot when you use it!

It has a light and appealing refreshing scent besides its powerful hydrating effect!

On the contrary, some users aren’t keen on this product, remarking that it does little to nothing to help with their undereye darkness, puffiness, and wrinkles.

With that said, the Innisfree Green Tea Seed Eye Cream is best for dry skin types that are looking for a thicker eye cream to use at night!

Pros:

• Paraben-free
• Sulfate-free
• Alcohol-free
• Very moisturizing

Cons:

• Contains silicone
• Contains fragrance
• Not suitable for oily skin (has shea butter and palmitic acid)

13. CeraVe Eye Repair Cream

Following their moisturizer, CeraVe’s Eye Repair Cream contains ceramides and other skin goodies.

However, oily skin types and acne prone skin types may want to look elsewhere as this product has some comedogenic ingredients (e.g. sweet almond oil, laureth 4)!

The texture of the CeraVe Eye Repair Cream is thin and creamy. Although some users find it too greasy or heavy.

In fact, the main benefit of this eye cream is its ability to hydrate the skin to keep it looking refreshed and brighter.

But if you want a potent anti-aging and anti-wrinkle product:

Then the CeraVe Eye Repair Cream probably won’t do much for you, as noted by several users!

Pros:

• Paraben-free, sulfate-free, alcohol-free
• Very moisturizing (and long-lasting effect)
• Absorbs well
• Ophthalmologist-tested for safety

Cons:

• Contains silicone, fragrance
• Quite greasy
• Doesn’t seem to help with dark circles much

14. Olay Regenerist Revitalising Eye Serum

Searching for something that exfoliates, moisturizes, and reduces wrinkles and eyebags for normal, oily or combination skin? You might want to consider the Olay Regenerist Revitalising Eye Serum:

Fragrance free, the Olay Regenerist Revitalising Eye Serum has titanium dioxide for sun protection too.

From the ingredient list, you can see that silicones (e.g. dimethicones) make up most of the formula. With some hydrating ingredients (e.g. panthenol and glycerin).

And the controversial mica (shimmer powder) as well!

A large number of users agree that the product absorbs fast, is easy-to-use and light on the skin! It reduces some of the darkness, sagginess, and wrinkles in their undereye area.

Hence, the Olay Regenerist Revitalising Eye Serum will suit users who are constantly sleep-deprived and often have racoon-like eyes!

There is no guarantee for success though. As a few critics comment that they do not see any improvement.

The Olay Regenerist Revitalising Eye Serum is also not moisturizing enough for very dry skin types.

Pros:

• Paraben-free, sulfate-free, alcohol-free
• Affordable
• Not greasy
• Can be layered under makeup (i.e. no creasing)
• Reduces wrinkles, puffiness and eye bags
• Easy non-messy application

Cons:

• Contains silicone and mica
• Bad for oily skin (Laureth-4)
• Not as moisturizing as other products in this list

15. Clinique Moisture Surge Eye 96-Hour Hydro-Filler Concentrate

True to the name, the Clinique Moisture Surge Eye 96-Hour Hydro-Filler Concentrate is moisturizing albeit a bit sticky.

Be careful when dispensing it as the pump output is not consistent! You need to wait a couple of minutes for it to absorb too before applying any make up on top!

Restoring moisture is not the only benefit that reviewers have noted with the Clinique Moisture Surge Eye 96-Hour Hydro-Filler Concentrate:

It is also a great makeup base as it allows your makeup to glide on smoothly onto the skin. so you can look into the Clinique Moisture Surge Eye 96-Hour Hydro-Filler Concentrate if you want an eye cream that can be a primer too.

Moreover, you only need a little amount per application to possibly see less wrinkles and dark circles.

Of course, there are many complaints about the pump causing wastage. And some negative comments remark that there is no observable improvement despite continuous use of the Clinique Moisture Surge Eye 96-Hour Hydro-Filler Concentrate.

How To Choose The Best Eye Cream

1. What Ingredients To Look For 

• Niacinamide – Brightening ingredient found in most whitening creams
• Hyaluronic acid – Your skin already has this but a boost doesn’t hurt to have this in the ingredient list as it helps your skin retain moisture (*1)
• Ceramides – Also acts as a moisture barrier
• Antioxidants – Ingredients like vitamin E, C and ferulic acid can reduce the damage by UV rays and other pollutants
• Retinol – Another form of vitamin A. It increases collagen production to maintain your skin’s elasticity
• Peptides – The building blocks for hyaluronic acid and collagen
• Sunscreen – Titanium dioxide is a common sunscreen ingredient in eye creams
• Glycerin – For additional moisture
• Caffeine – Encourages blood flow (i.e. to combat dark circles or puffy eyes)
• Calming ingredients to reduce puffiness – like green tea, cucumber, aloe vera, chamomile, licorice, coconut oil
• Natural ingredients are less likely to irritate the sensitive skin around your eyes – shea butter, rosemary, jojoba oil, beeswax, etc. The best lip balms use these too!

Note: Retinol makes your skin more sensitive to the UV rays. So be sure to put on sunscreen before going out into the sunshine! You don’t need to use a lot too!

2. What Ingredients To Avoid

• Artificial fragrances – Irritating with no real purpose other than to smell nice
• Alcohol – Drying
• Preservatives
• Silicones – Give an “instant” effect of smoother skin but can block pores
• Parabens – Avoid as much as possible; Associated with causing skin cancer, increased skin sensitivity and even leads to UV skin damage

Note: Unfortunately, many commercial eye creams contain silicones and fragrances.

How Best To Apply Eye Cream

To make the most of your eye cream:

• Keep your eye cream in the fridge (not freezer) when you’re not using it. The cold helps to reduce puffiness.
• Always apply your eye cream on a clean face after your facial cleanser (or cleansing oil if you double cleanse) and toner!
• Use your ring finger and not our pointer finger to dab the product onto your skin gently.
• Do not tug or pull your skin!
• Massage the area around your eyes with light pats in a circular motion (inside to outside)
• Apply your eye cream twice a day! Morning and night.

Conclusion

A good majority of eye creams in Malaysia (especially the more affordable products) depend on silicones to give you immediate (but temporary) results of youthful skin around your eyes.

For long term use, look for products with antioxidants and moisture-sealing ingredients to add to your night time skincare routine!

• Bio-Essence Bio-Vlift Eye Lifting Essence
• The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG Eye Serum
