Wrinkles are a natural part of the skin’s process of maturing, and we’ll all have some fine lines and crow’s feet to some degree as we age. With that being said, if you’re on the hunt to find the best eye cream for wrinkles, we do know of some over-the-counter options to peruse. Though you shouldn’t expect any OTC skin-care product to completely erase fine lines and wrinkles, Canton, Michigan-based board-certified dermatologist Fatima Fahs, MD, says that the key to a great eye cream is what’s listed in its ingredient list.
One of the top ingredients for targeting fine lines is retinol, according to Dr. Fahs. In case you’re not familiar with this vitamin A-derivative, she says it increases collagen production to improve the look of fine lines while evening skin tone and reducing signs of hyperpigmentation. (Bye-bye, dark circles.) However, we will note that retinol is an intensive active ingredient that might irritate sensitive skin types, so always patch test new products before applying them to your entire face.
Another ingredient Dr. Fahs says is a skin-brightening essential is vitamin C, an antioxidant powerhouse that fights free radical damage and helps fade pigmentation concerns. Dehydration is also a wrinkle-causing issue, so if you notice you have dry skin, she suggests incorporating a hyaluronic acid-infused product into your skin-care regimen. “[Hyaluronic acid] is a humectant that plumps and hydrates the skin to improve the appearance of fine lines,” she says.
Few skin-care ingredients come close to the firming powers of peptides, according to Dr. Fahs. “They act as the building blocks of proteins like collagen and elastin to boost skin’s firmness and improve texture,” she says. Speaking of proteins, Dr. Fahs also says to look for growth factors, “signal proteins that promote the production of collagen and elastin.”
Now, it’s time to put all of this precious skin-care knowledge to practice. Below, take a look at some of the best eye treatments and creams to combat crow’s feet and crepiness on your delicate skin.
