The skin around the eye is thinner, moves constantly, and shows fatigue well before the rest of the face does. This shelf is for anyone dealing with the look of dark circles, morning puffiness, or fine lines that have started to hold their shape. Eye products work slowly, and consistency matters far more than strength.

We sort clients by texture more than by concern. iS Clinical C Eye Serum is light enough to sit under makeup, DermaQuest Peptide 3D Eye Lift suits skin that wants more slip, and Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Firm Eye Cream is the richer choice for winter. Use a grain-of-rice amount, tap along the orbital bone rather than up to the lash line, and give it eight weeks.
