The delicate skin around the orbital bone or eye area, is typically the first area of the face to show signs of ageing. These first signs start around our thirties, where tiny fine lines and wrinkling appear. We may be entering parenthood or beginning to reap the rewards of our chosen careers and one too many Cosmo’s and late nights are becoming increasingly more difficult to conceal thanks to racoon dark under eyes and puffiness. Typically, we don’t reach for the eye cream until we see fine lines and wrinkles forming. Prevention is better than cure and we recommended introducing a natural anti-ageing eye cream into your skincare routine around thirty. Late starters fear not, the right eye cream will help to improve the look of the undereye area at any age. Choosing the best anti-ageing eye cream at any age can have big payoff, making your eye cream one of the most important skin care investments you make.
A multitasking anti-ageing eye cream that can used morning and night to addresses dark circles and offers daily antioxidant defence is perfect for those in the late twenties and thirties. For those of us in forties and beyond, take a more targeted approach opting for a specific AM and PM eye cream for wrinkles. Choose a lightweight cream for the day and an eye serum or oil for the night for extra care.
The best anti-ageing eye cream will provide hydration, relief from puffiness, and works well under sunscreen and makeup for daytime use. Read on for our top picks in anti-ageing eye creams that are well suited to both daytime and night-time use.

At night, a rich emollient moisturiser with a balm-like texture or an eye oil delivers a little extra care. While you are sleeping an eye oil or anti-ageing eye serum works to address dehydration and nurture this delicate area from the damaging effects daily aggressors. Unless you have dry skin an eye oil may not be suited to those of us that like to wear makeup in the day as they can cause slippage. However, we LOVE the extra punch these eye oil formulations offer, and they are the perfect duo with an AM eye cream.

Rejuvenate Targeted Wrinkle Treatment
Simply, moisturisers do not offer the same benefits as a specifically formulated anti-ageing eye cream. The skin around the eye is very delicate and requires a more concentrated formulation that is specifically targeted to repairing and replenishing this delicate skin. A normal moisturiser has “heavier” ingredients that are not as necessarily beneficial to this thinner, more delicate skin. The exception can be in the case of a natural Facial Oil. Many natural and organic facial oils can be used under the eye, but not all are created equal and we recommend a good quality oil – like those we suggest below.
Safe for use around the delicate eye area the Les Huilettes mon huilette Sensitive oil is designed to treat the most sensitive skin even post treatment and expectant or nursing mothers. It is fragrance and essential oil free optimising the antioxidant properties Pomegranate and Rosemary Oil and the natural retinoic powers of Calendula.
Jojoba is revered for its restorative powers and the fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes can benefit from a daily application of the Calming Jojoba Face and Body Oil by The Jojoba Company. Combining Jojoba Seed Oil with Camellia Seed Oil for protection and Moringa Seed Oil for deep hydration and its ability to reduce dark spots and skin marks, this combination is recommended to dry, mature and sensitive skin types.
Remember less is more, excess eye cream or eye oil can increase puffiness and it just goes to waste! Pure and potent means your product lasts longer as you use less to achieve results.
Ensure you use a spatula when using an eye cream in a jar or look to airtight packaging that protects the hygiene of the formulation. This product sits so close to our precious eyes, we need to ensure the products are kept contamination free. When applying your eye treatment use a small amount – the tip of your ring finger and gently pat around the orbit bone. Do not apply to the eyelid only to the area just under the eyebrow. We recommend applying your eye cream over serums and under any moisturiser and always to freshly cleansed skin.
Like all skincare consistency is essential to seeing great results. We cannot halt the ageing process but commit to applying your eye cream both morning and night and you will see bright and expressive eyes giving you the confidence to feel great in your skin regardless of your age.
