EYE CREAMS & SERUMS

To target, address and improve under eye bags, an eye cream and eye serum are your best tools. To start with, a firming eye serum like Super Multi-Corrective Eye-Opening Serum works to visibly reduce the appearance of fatigue and ageing signs like under-eye wrinkles. Next up, a depuffing eye bag cream like Powerful Wrinkle-Reducing Eye Cream improves elasticity and helps to reduce the look of eye bags.

Your eye cream application will depend on the formula you’ve opted for. Some ingredients are included to address stressors built up over the day, whereas other Kiehl’s eye creams are formulated to take advantage of the rest period while you sleep. For an evening anti-ageing night cream, we suggest implementing Midnight Recovery Eye. Packed with botanicals like lavender essential oil and evening primrose oil to refresh skin and improve elasticity.

The skin around your eyes is much thinner than the rest of your face (up to 40%!). An eye cream is used to target specific concerns around the area of skin – such as puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines around the eye. To support and enhance facial skin best, opt for a facial moisturiser tailored to your skin type.

For best results, pair your eye serum and eye cream together! Both products benefit skin in different ways but work together to uplift and enhance. When using your eye cream and eye serum together, specific application methods will help to deliver the best results. Always apply your skincare from lightest texture to heaviest – so an eye serum will be applied right before your eye cream. We recommend waiting around one minute between steps to allow each product to fully absorb.

If you’re looking to step up your skincare routine, you can layer eye creams (and eye serums too!). Look for products that promote and support one another – like a hydrating Kiehl’s eye cream and dark circle eye cream. A good rule of thumb is to combine hydrating and gentle ingredients like hyaluronic acid with potent ingredients like vitamin C.

Want to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles? Anti-ageing eye creams work deeply to address these concerns and tighten, lift and firm the eye contour area. Ageing signs tend to appear around the eyes first, so implement a cream for eye wrinkles as early as you like!

Your eye cream is applied before your facial moisturiser – but only if it’s lighter. Thick, balm like formulas are applied after moisturisers. Eye creams are specially formulated for this area, as the skin here is thinner, more fragile and prone to unique concerns like puffiness and dark circles.

When applying your eye cream, make sure to avoid contact with eyes and only apply as directed. For example, an eye bag cream is formulated to improve that specific area. Some products are suitable for use on the lid, but only do so if the formula explicitly states that you can.
