20 Best Eye Cream For Sensitive Eyes (2023 Updated)

I’ve only just begun using Elastiderm Eye Cream. I think it arrived about a week and a half ago. I love the way it feels and the silky ease with which it goes on. Both because it’s gentle to apply to the eye area and I think a little will go a long way.

Important to me as these cosmetic purchases of quality do come with a higher price tag. I may be seeing a more moisturized suppleness around my eyes. I have fine, dry delicate skin. Not only the moisturization is important to me but also the fact the cream feels good with no irritation caused.

So far, I’m all positive.

This eye cream worked WONDERS for the dark circles under my eyes, but I didn’t notice any difference in the fine lines. My major issue, and the reason it doesn’t get 5 stars, is because it was awful under my makeup, and I’ve been wearing the same undereye concealer for years with no issues.

My makeup would goop into little blotches of makeup balls under my eyes that obviously didn’t hit the desired effect of a smooth and youthful appearance. I waited a whole hour one time to put on my makeup, thinking maybe I just needed to let the cream dry, still had the same issue.

I eventually just started using this cream at night, but for the price and makeup issues, I don’t think it gets 5 stars.

I love this eye cream and I enroled on the subscription program, it saves you money and don’t have to worry that I’ll run out of my favourite cream. That’s unusual for me since I am often looking for the Holy Grail of miracle eye creams.

This cream is not a miracle but it is extremely moisturizing and I can go right up to my lash line as well as put it on my lids (usually with the little bit left after applying it to my orbital bone and under eye area).

I feels lightweight and emollient at the same time and provides a good base for concealer if I choose to apply one. I do feel I’ve seen a difference in the lines around my eye. In any event, my ordering and re-ordering this product speaks volumes as to my opinion.

I started using this immediately after I finished the verso eye serum (see my review for that) which really helped firm, plump and soften my fine lines. This has a thicker texture but it still absorbs well and is very smooth, not as thick or difficult to pat in as some heavier undereye creams I’ve tried in the past.

I personally feel like I saw more results with their serum version than with this but it might just be that they both have a similar effect for me and having followed the serum with this, I can’t detect what it does that the serum didn’t do.

I’ve been using it for a few months and combined, both the serum and cream from this brand have lasted me the best part of a year so they are definitely value for money. I didn’t find this as hydrating as the serum, and sometimes I’ve had to follow it with a hydrating cream.

I bought this over the Christmas period and have been using it the last 2 months. I just had my baby and my skin was so unbalanced and dehydrated abd was recommended this for my sensitive prone skin.

I’m so skeptical with skincare but the results are actually incredible. My face is brighter and it’s evened out some blemishes. I also use the serum in the morning and will definitely buy their other products.

I’ve never had such positive and fast results with a skincare.

This eye cream has some of the major players in it that not only help soothe and hydrate short term, but the ceramides and consist boost of hyaluronic acid can assist with the skin repairing it’s own barrier and trapping the maximum amount of moisture.

While some say that eye cream is not a necessity, especially on a budget, I find that I am experimenting with many different actives right now and some of my moisturizers have those harsher ingredients in them.

This makes an eye cream ideal for nourishing the delicate skin and making it a habit to maintain good skin health where it really starts to show first. A very young person could benefit from this if they have a simple skincare routine and they just want to target extra hydration under their eyes, anyone exposed to harsher weather and it’s also nice to have a smaller moisturizer for make up bag and traveling purposes.

I received this sample in the Best of Dermstore kit and while I am still experimenting with other eye creams as I am enjoying trying out a variety of products, I believe their line of products are impressive in formula, consistency and I like the simple branding.

This eye cream has a great consistency- it’s smooth and rich without being greasy. I use it both morning and night and it wears perfectly under makeup. Especially after applying foundation/concealer, which always makes these lines look dry and more pronounced.

I’ve really noticed fine lines in my eye area this past year and I’ve tried tons of different eye creams to combat them. I find many of them to be expensive with little results. I like the price point of this cream and the results have been positive after using it for 2 weeks.

It smooths out the fine lines, is moisturizing and even reduced puffiness. The smell is fresh and cucumber-y. I like it and will continue to use it happily.

I cannot say enough good things about this. My under eyes have been extremely dry for the first time ever because of the abrupt change to cold weather. NOTHING has helped. My moisturizers sting and burn when I put them on and my cerave eye cream did as well.

I put this on and they didn’t sting at all and immediately felt soothed. I woke up (mornings are when my eyes have been the driest) and they feel like a baby’s butt. From literally one use it made a 100% difference.

I hate the smell of cucumber (I’m probably the only one) but I would bathe in this just for how good it works.

I receive a sample of this and it works very well. I don’t have bags but I do have dark under eye and a few lines. It does it’s job, moisturizes and smells amazing. I wash before bed using La Roche-Posay’s purifying foaming face wash, then I tap this around my eyes.

I use my quartz roller and it intensifies the cooling effect from the cucumber. I don’t use this other than before bed, I wash again in the morning before applying makeup but I use Cliniques 96H hydro filler concentrate.

Rotating them have worked best for me.

I only started looking into eye creams as everyone my age (37) seemed to be trying them out and thought it would delay the skin round my eyes starting to look like partchment. I’ve already been religiously using several La Roche products for years as it seems to suit my skin.

I’m not particularly wrinkly, just a few fine laughter lines around my eyes but not very noticeable. Well I’ve used this stuff for a few weeks now and I think the Retinol is puffing out my skin enough to actually make them look puffy and highlighting the wrinkles I do have.

It’s also really greasy, and as it says to use morning and night I’m finding that no amount of time letting it absorb in the morning stops my waterproof mascara from giving me panda eyes by about 11am.

Very annoying. My makeup just starts sliding off and I’m not using very much cream either. I have always had fairly oily skin, so wonder if that’s a factor. I’ve also since read that because of how light sentitive retinol makes your skin, you should only be using it at night anyway, so I don’t understand why it says to use it in the morning too.

As of today I’ve stopped using it in the morning but I’m going to keep using it at night as I think it’s actually made the dark bits towards the inner corner of my eyes a lot brighter. The only reason I’ve kept the 3rd star on!.

I really like this eye cream. It’s moisturizing and hydrating and doesn’t feel sticky or tight at all. The 0. 1% retinol strength is higher than I’ve seen in other retinol eye creams, but so far I haven’t experienced any irritation, probably thanks to most (all?) of the retinol being encapsulated.

I’ve been using this a couple of weeks now as a preventive measure for anti-aging, so it’s not possible for me to say yet whether it really works for slowing down the development of wrinkles, but I figure that with the reasonably high amount of retinol in the formula, this is probably one of the most promising products out there.

Since it hasn’t caused irritation, I will continue to use it comfortably.

I’ve literally had bags under my eyes since I was a toddler, so there’s not much hope for me, unfortunately, but even with that taken into consideration I definitely noticed an improvement in my skin after using this product for a little while.

(You definitely want to be careful & start out with 1 application per day, or less, especially if you have sensitive skin and/or don’t have any previous experience with retinol, as it can be harsh and take some time to adjust to, and the eye area is obviously particularly sensitive.

) The biggest downside is that retinol products can be pricey, especially for those on a budget, but don’t let that scare you away from giving this product a fair shot. They can also take time to see real results, so I would caution against expecting miracles with this or any skincare regimen.

The company offers a 30-day money back guarantee and even has a loyalty program which gives you access to special deals and giveaways. The smell is not unpleasant and the product doesn’t leave your face feeling stiff, sticky, or greasy.

Overall I would have to give Redermic R Retinol Eye Cream an 8 out of 10.

I don’t think this is intended to be a “miracle”product where it gets rid of wrinkles or fine lines. This product does exactly what it says. It depuffs and provides moisture to the under eye. I was looking for something that wasn’t going to irritate my eyes throughout the day and this doesn’t irritate them at all.

It’s very moisturizing but it doesn’t look shiny or greasy under the eye. Once it settles it looks natural. A great product and would highly recommend if you need a eye cream that hydrates but won’t burn your eyes.

I don’t think I ever gave enough thought to whether I had very sensitive skin. The skin around my eyes would often be dry and red, particularly in the winter and if I had worn eye makeup for an evening out.

I had used other eye creams and probably spent too much trying to find something that was genuinely effective and soothing only to be disappointed, but this Avene eye cream delivers in its promises. I don’t get taken in too much by the claims made by cosmetic companies and rarely write reviews for skincare but this cream has made a noticeable difference to the skin around my eyes, less dry, redness reduced, less puffy, no longer itchy.

Even my eye feels better, not as dry and irritated. I use this twice a day now along with two other Avene products recommended for sensitive skin prone to redness and irritation, which I purchased at the same time.

This is working for me, I like Avene products and would recommend to other people with sensitive skin issues to try them.

OMG. so i was skeptical bc i wanted to buy a higher end eye cream. but i saw this one and wanted to try it out. at first, i have to be honest, i had no expectations. it is lightweight, more of a gel formula, and layers beautifully with moisturizer and sunscreen.

for reference i use a vitamin c ROC moisturizer and the latoche posay anthelios sunscreen. i noticed a solid difference probably after 2 weeks, my eyebags got a little smaller and tighter. now it’s been about a month.

my eyebags are almost GONE. the dark circles-nearly nonexistent. I want to cry of joy because i didn’t think this could be possible. i’m a college student who has a horrible sleeping schedule and i barely got into skincare.

i’m only 21, so it’s beautiful that there is a huge difference. THANK U LOREAL queens ily and all u need is a tiny bit of product. lasts a long time!.

I’m 28, I have been using anti aging skincare products since I was 20 to be proactive in preventing signs of aging of my skin. I haven’t really been dedicated to an eye cream because most of them irritate my eyes and I wake up in the mornings to swollen eyelids and red irritated eyes.

I’ve tried a few other drugstore eye creams that were double the price of this. This has been the best eye cream for me! I put it on in the am and pm and it does not irritate my eyes at all. I do not think this product is meant to significantly reduce bags, crows feet or severe dark circles.

As the name says “Age Defense”, I feel that it is more of preventive measure in helping to prevent aging around the eye. I have noticed a difference though. My eye area looks hydrated and fresh. It does have a slight shimmer to it but it’s not sparkly.

I would say that it just instantly helps to brighten the eye area. It’s light feeling and it is a gel consistency. This is also a very affordable eye cream and I think it is fabulous. I will continue to purchase this over and over.

I really love this eye cream.

I usually dont write reviews but this eye cream worth it. I first got this cream as a gift , and since the first week I tried it I notice and improvement. Those dark circles around my eyes started to desapear.

Also the fine lines around the eyes are almost gone. And one thing that I love of this product is that before using it when i wore make up after a couple or hours my make up started to crack and I since I’m using this product that does not happen anymore.

So its a light product that works well under make up and does not cause irritation and does not have a strong fragrance. And it absorbs easy and quickly. What I dont like of this product is the size , I mean why all the eye cream products have to come in small sizes.

And also do not work well reducing puff eyes. But if you want an affordable product that at least work to keep your eyes young this is your product plus is easy to find.

(The product I’m reviewing is the EL. F cookies n dreams night mask) I love this stuff. I’ve been using it every night since I got it. I’ve tried many other face creams, and most of them just weren’t quite right.

But this one is ultra moisturizing. Very creamy and smooth. I have dry skin My skin dries out super fast but this overnight mask is just perfect. I definitely recommend applying it to clean skin before bed and washing it off in the morning.

Leaves skin very soft. And the scent is just delicious, the black beads melt into the skin and don’t leave any pigment behind. Will be buying more soon! (FYI Influenster doesn’t have this product yet to review).

Really like this eye cream. My eyes are already sensitive and at times very dry and irritated. I was looking for something for basic, moisturizing, and affordable. Decided to give this a try. Im really glad I did.

My eyes no longer feel dry or itchy. It’s a very light weight cream that absorbs relatively quickly. Not greasy by any means. Creamy with easy application. I’ve noticed a decrease in the dark circles under my eyes and they do appear brighter overall.

I apply it once a day (pending I don’t wear makeup) and the moisture lasts the entire time.

#Clinique Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream I received this product free of charge for testing purposes only from BzzAgent. Clinique Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream feels cool and creamy, which is nice and refreshing.

I would prefer that it did have had at least a light scent, but there was none, which I’m sure some people would prefer, but I like a soft calming fresh scent. The jar is cute, but I wish it had been bigger, like what you get from other product review companies, where you get more of a reward for the effort you put in.

( Companies that BzzAgent collects reviews for should help BzzAgent pull in more product reviews by rewarding the reviewers for their time and effort. ) This product, although in a tiny container had plenty for the amount of time required for the review period.

It is a thick enough constancy where it didn’t easily pour out of the container, but not so thick that it took too much effort to blend into your skin. It was very moisturizing, but soaked into the skin fairly quick.

It wasn’t greasy, so no need to worry about it staining your bedding. I did notice more brightness to my skin, and that it helped minimize my lines around my eyes, which is fantastic! It didn’t irritate my eyes at all, even with putting it up to my lash line.

I have dry eye issues, and many moisturizers make my waterline burn, as well as my eye itself, if the moisturizer gets that close, or in my actual eye due to rubbing my eyes, but this moisturizer did not.

All in all, I would purchase Clinique Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream for myself, and would wholeheartedly recommend it to fellow buyers, because it has surpassed my expectations, and, to me, outperformed the $100 eye moisturizer Hourglass Equilibrium Eye Balm that I had used in the past.

I have been using Clinique Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream for about two weeks beginning only using on one eye at night for the initial four days then I started using it twice daily on both eyes.

I live at the beach and began using anti-aging skin care, especially for my face in my mid-20’s to minimize any sun damage I’d acquired. During my 30’s I worried about signs of aging and focused on my eye area and now that I’m 40 I can say I have tried tons of products in search of results.

This is one that has stood out from so many others and I will hopefully be able to continue using it. I didn’t need a major overhaul but wanted an eye cream to help erase fine lines and give the appearance of more youthful, “plump” skin under my eyes.

I think my results would be better by now if I used it twice a day from the beginning but I wanted to make sure it wouldn’t irritate my eyes during the day so I only applied at night during the initial 4 days.

The cream is thick but absorbs quickly without leaving any residue and there isn’t much of a scent either. I applied this easily and had no irritation nor adverse reaction of any kind. In fact, the first time I applied it in the morning, I noticed my (face) makeup applied more easily and my under-eye concealer blended without much effort! The picture shows the eye I am applying product on and how different it appears underneath from the other since I also did a comparison test for those first 4 nights.

The skin without Clinique Smart Repair is more red and has a few visible lines whereas the skin where I’m applying product has a more even tone and looks more rested. My mom and sister have already asked what I am doing differently or what product am I using!.

I received a sample size of the Clinique Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Repair Serum as a gift from Buzzagent in exchange for an honest review of the product. It is a very nice consistency that makes my face feel extremely hydrated.

It has a light, wonderful scent. I usually prefer unscented due to smells giving me a migraine if they are too strong, but this is so softly scented and is really lovely. I love the way my face feels when I apply it.

It absorbs so quickly and doesn’t feel oily! I only received a small sample so don’t believe I have used it long enough to see results like a big difference in wrinkles. I do think I notice slightly less noticeable wrinkles, not as deep making them appear less.

The huge thing I love is how hydrated and moisturized my face feels using this product. I would recommend to my family and friends. I would purchase this in the future but probably only a small bottle as it is alittle more expensive then I would like to pay.

I have tried many other kinds of products such as these including Estee Lauder, 111 Skin, Sunday Riley, Verb, and Murad but really enjoyed this product. I wish the bottle had been larger so I could have gotten a longer experience using it to really see if it made a huge difference.

I believe it takes at least 2-3 months to tell if it makes a dramatic difference but in the short time I have been able to notice a huge difference. Thank you for the opportunity to try this product!.

Just when you felt hydration couldn’t get any better than the Vichy Minéral 89 Booster Serum. The Vichy Minéral 89 Eyes Hyaluronic Acid Fortifier is especially designed for the delicate eye area to hydrate and reawaken the eyes with Vichy’s Thermal Mineralizing water, Hyaluronic acid and Caffeine.

The product itself is clear like crystal and applies smoothly around the eye contours without dragging or pulling. On first application it leaves the eyes feeling fresh and wide awake. After the Vichy Minéral 89 Eye fortifier has sunken in, it leaves a plump, hydrated feeling that lasts without any stickiness or greasy feeling and can easily be applied and worn under makeup.

It’s incredibly refreshing and leaves tired eyes feeling soothed. After continuous use, my eyes feel softener, brighter and more awake and my dark circles have already started to fade. I was incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to experience this product by being apart of the Vichy Skin Société, a community of like-minded skin care and beauty lovers.

Overall I would highly recommend this product and it has now become a staple in my skin care regime.

I bought my first bottle of Mineral 89 in March just after turning 34 and now I’m almost ready to purchase bottle number 3! This product really lived upto the hype, it’s amazing! I have a really noisy next door neighbour and started to notice that my eyes were ageing quickly from lack of a decent sleep.

Roll forward just over a week of using this wonderful product and you really would NOT know if I’d had a bad sleep or not. As this product moisturises, brightens and smoothes under your eye area so well my eyes are always bright and alert looking.

I suggest keeping it in your fridge as the cooling effect really helps even more. Dark circles under eyes and fine lines are reduced, which in turn helps those pesky bags that appear under your eyes to disappear.

It’s also super easy to apply and leaves your under eye skin so soft. It isn’t greasy or sticky in the slightest and absords into the skin so well, almost as if your under eye area has been waiting for it.

As you really don’t need to use much the bottle will last. It’s the first product I apply in the morning after washing my face and I also use it in the evening before bed.

Wow what have I been missing out on?? This is a bottle of amazingness! I have always been very dubious about eye creams/serums having yet to find one that had mad any difference to the fine lines that I have around my eyes and the dryness I suffer from terribly there.

BUT upon the first use of this serum the skin around my eyes immediately felt hydrated and stayed feeling like it for a good few hours after. I was amazed as it is very lightweight and not at all greasy.

After about 3 weeks of using it day and night I could see a big improvement in the fine lines and the dry skin felt so much better. I wanted to use the serum all over my face lol I shall definitely carry on purchasing this and will be trying the facial serum as well.

Fingers crossed it’s as good as the eye one! I have no problems in recommending this eye serum to others. It’s fabulous, lightweight, non-greasy, hydrating and actually works. Well done Vichy you have converted a sceptic! ♥️♥️♥️♥️.

I bought this product upon recommendation of a friend. The Lancome product I had been using for years had been on backorder for months and I was thinking of trying a more natural product anyways. I have sensitive skin and was worried that I would have a reaction to any new product.

I didn’t have any reactions to this product and within a week I noticed improvements in the smoothness of the skin around my eye. I was impressed and went back to purchase the Petides Collagen night cream.

It’s also great that I can purchase Derma-e from my local Natural Grocers.

I use eye creams good for eye sensitivity, because if I don’t, my eyes get dry, flaky, irritated/itchy and inflamed, and also the skin above my eyes (eyelids) and under my eyes (where we get dark circles and wrinkles) swell up.

This eye cream helps with all these issues, and you wouldn’t even notice that my eyes suffer from all these issues. It’s not irritating in the slightest, so I would recommend 100% to anyone that suffers with similar issues, or that simply prefers an eye cream with no aromatics.

The only reason I gave this eye cream 4 stars instead of 5 is the texture and the way it feels on the skin; it feels medicinal and sometimes leaves a bit of residue on the skin, so personally I prefer to use it only on the night time before going to sleep.

I have been using this product for almost a year now. It absorbs well if you apply just the right amount. If you apply more than the skin needs, it gets some white residue that you need to rubber off.

I only use it before bed, and one tube lasted almost a year. I never expected a massive change in my wrinkles lines. Instead, I hoped that the product would slow the ageing, and I believe it did the job.

If you are expecting an overnight transformation, I am not sure this product is for you. If you trust the long term effects of skin hydration, then this product s a good investment.

I enjoyed using this eye cream. I have been using it for 9 months. Not a large amount of cream must be warmed up between the fingers, and then applied to the skin of the eyelids, otherwise it is poorly applied.

The cream perfectly moisturizes and nourishes the skin, removes the effect of tired eyes, smoothes the relief under the eyes, removes fine wrinkles, retouches creases in the corner of the eye.

I’ve recently read, to my dismay, that eye cream are allegedly “glorified” moisturizers meaning that any face moisturizers can be used around the eye area and therefore a specific eye cream is not needed.

HOWEVER, this is definitely not the case for this product! I adore the Kiehl’s avocado eye cream and I will keep buying it. It’s different from any other eye product tried so far: rich and heavy but in an extremely good way, it restores completely the thin skin layer covering the orbital bone.

It’s nourishing (I suggest usinh in the PM routine) and you can almost feel the good it does. In the morning the eyes area is well hydrated, fresh and younger looking. Also, it’s true what is said in the description: it simply won’t migrate into the eyes.

So no stinging, no rinsing required etc. It’s a pot of goodness with a spectacular formulation. Possibly the one single eye treatment I will never stop buying, regardless of what some experts say. Highly recommended.

I have sensitive skin, and my eye area happens to be extra sensitive. It’s been two weeks since I started using this product and I can confirm it’s thick, creamy and conditioning. For my first few applications, I’d take a dot-sized amount and gently apply directly onto eye area.

Because I am dark skinned, it left off-white marks after any exposure in the harsh winter breeze outside. So I’d advise you follow the ‘how to use’ instructions on the website. Now, I rub a tiny amount between my fingers before direct application.

So far, I have not experienced any harsh reactions, it does not burn on skin contact and I can barely perceive a fragrance (which is great!). I work out a lot, and when sweat drips down my eye area and mixes with the cream, I expected a little tingle in my eyes — nothing! I tried using it as a contour mask but did not appreciate the greasiness, for that reason, I deducted a star.

Overall, I am thrilled about my purchase and look forward to using this product for a long time, provided the quality does not deteriorate.
