Fabulous Under Eye Creams for Women Over 50

What are the best under eye creams?

Isn’t it interesting how the time you spend in the sun, your smoking habits, and even your diet come back to haunt your skin years later? Sadly, the delicate skin around the eyes is usually the first place to betray age. This is especially true since aging itself reduces the speed at which cells repair. So, carefully choose anti-aging ingredients when shopping for the best under eye creams to combat wrinkles, dark spots, and eye puffiness.

Here are some of our favorite eye creams selected for their active ingredients. Make sure to select a product based on ingredients in it proven to actually work. Don’t just pay for fancy packaging and expensive advertising. The best under eye cream isn’t necessarily the most expensive one.

Don’t buy snake oil! (Unless snake oil works on wrinkles. Because in that case, I would totally buy it.)
