9 Best Eye Wrinkle Creams
See which uplifting skin care creams, gels and serums will firm, tighten and smooth your eye area the most
Each time the muscles around your eyes contract, the repeated folding action your skin makes contributes to wrinkles and fine lines (a harsh reality, but it's sadly true). When we're younger, these lines are only noticeable when the muscle contracts, like when we scrunch up our face, wink or squint. But ultimately (and unfortunately) the continual folding invites the lines to stay for good -- even when the muscles are relaxed. So is it possible to return to the smooth surface we started with? And can skin care products really help? Yep. The proof: three words … eye firming creams.

When you hear the word "firming," what do you think of? Your skin tissues becoming thicker and tougher? That makes sense, but in the world of beauty products, firming actually translates to smoothing. So firming eye creams really help to smooth lines and wrinkles, and lift the eye area.
How? Some eye firming skin care creams contain Vitamin C that penetrates the skin and stimulates collagen formation, which helps firm. And some firming skin care products contain hexapeptide, which works with the muscles around the eyes to decrease muscle contraction. It is said that hexapeptide is only about a third as effective as Botox at relaxing those muscles -- and like anything else (diet and exercise, anyone?), is only effective while you're actually using the eye cream.
But do they work? According to our readers … they do. Here are a few things women are saying about the eye creams on this list:
"a beauty must-have"
"holy grail"
"Botox in a bottle without injections"
"imagine my delight when a product really does as it says"
"I AM OBSESSED!"
OK, you get the picture, so we'll leave you with a little tip:
When you're already taking the time to apply an eye cream, squeeze or scoop out a bit extra and apply it to other lines on your face such as the frown lines between your brows, marionette lines around your mouth and/or horizontal forehead lines. That way, you're not wasting any and you don't have to take the time or spend the money on a different product when you have an eye cream that boasts smoothing, firming and lifting benefits.
And now we bring you the list of the best eye firming creams.
