Last month I almost turned 40 years old. In actuality I turned 39 and while I’ve always been a little bit paranoid about the lines around my eyes that almost milestone birthday really had me giving even more of a laser focused attention to my eye wrinkles. Day and night my skincare routine remains centered around anti-aging, brightening and de-puffing my undereye area.
In 2017 I wrote The Best Eye Cream for Aging Undereyes which has garnered quite a bit of traffic and remains one of my top 5 posts of all time to this day. Since we’re dawning on a brand new decade I thought it was time for a little update (though there are a handful that have remained my favorites all these years!).
Below are eye creams, masks, that I’ve tried in the past and loved or that I’m currently enjoying now. For sanity’s sake, I kept it to 5 per section… but I do love me some eye treatments/creams so know that I could’ve gotten REALLY carried away here. 😉
My skincare routine centers around anti-aging, brightening and de-puffing my undereye area. Here are my top 20 recommendations to combat wrinkles & bags!

Dear Brooke,
Thanks for sharing best anti=aging eye cream list. Your listing is always been appreciated by audience. Here, I will talk about my favorite one. And that is ELF Illuminating eye cream. It is a really good one. It contains jojoba, vitamin E and also cucumber. Moreover, it keeps the hydration on eye area to minimize dark circles.
Thanks for your post. Keep writing and make us updated.
I noticed you included the Drunk Elephant C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream, i have heard good thing about it. What do you think about it?
I have heard good things and many of my girlfriends say that it is worth the money.
I’ve loved using it. While I know creams can’t get rid of dark circles and fine lines they do help and are somewhat preventative. DE is one of my favorites for sure.
