Encapsulated Retinol Eye Cream
If you want to get rid of major crow's feet, look for a retinol eye cream with encapsulated retinol -- it's able to get down deeper into the skin. Dermalogica Age Reversal Eye Complex, $78, has a "smart" kind of encapsulation that targets wrinkles, as well as niacinamide to brighten dark circles, ash tree bark for hydration and peptides for an even greater anti-aging boost.

Retinol Eye Cream Plus Shea Butter
Because Peter Thomas Roth Retinol Fusion PM Eye Cream, $55, contains one percent microencapsulated retinol (a rather high percentage for an eye cream), it's also loaded with moisturizing shea butter to negate dryness and peeling.
