When it comes to eye creams, I’m generally pretty indifferent. It’s easy enough to bring your moisturizer up to the under eye because although that skin is thinner (some of the thinnest on your body), your normal face cream should do — unless you have skin concerns under your eye that differ from the rest of your face. In that situation, I do recommend an eye cream, which can help to target things like puffiness, discoloration, and wrinkling. One of my favorites for this is the RoC line-smoothing eye cream, which I’ve previously said is the best affordable option. It addresses just about every eye concern using retinol, the vitamin A derivative that helps to speed up cell turnover. It also contains hydrating hyaluronic acid for some added moisture, which helps to improve the overall look of the under eye. Normally, it’s $30 a tube (affordable by most eye-cream standards), but it’s currently $13, almost 60 percent off — the cheapest we’ve seen all year.
