Best Eye Creams for Aging Eyelid Skin

Dr. Irwin
March 17, 2015

Treat your eyelid skin like the rest of your face but………..it’s more delicate so you want products formulated for the eye area. These eye creams are expensive, unfortunately.

Here’s a good way to approach it:

Morning – use either a peptide based eye cream (NeoCutis Lumiere Riche), or an anti-glycation (SkinCeuticials A.G.E. Eye Complex), or an antioxidant (AOX Eye Gel). Put a little moisturizer or sunscreen (like SkinCeuticals Physical Eye UV Defense) over it.

At night go for the vitamin A cousins formulated for the eye area like Replenix All-Trans Retinol Eye Repair Cream.

Always just start one product at a time 3-7 days apart so if you get irritated you know which product it is.

One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
