Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Creme

If you're looking to conceal dark circles without concealer, Ole Henriksen's Banana Bright Eye Creme is perfect for you. It's magic in a jar and inspired by "banana powder" – which is why it's tinted a pale yellow colour. The yellow works to colour correct, therefore reducing the look of dark circles and completely brightening the under-eye area. At the same time, the Banana Bright Eye Creme also does an incredible job at hydrating and targeting fine lines and wrinkles. The formula is lightweight so it works great under concealer. One of my favourite things about this product is that it's formulated with vitamin C, similar to the Banana Bright Face Primer that we reviewed here. Your under-eye area will totally be revived and illuminated!

CeraVe Eye Repair Cream

Sometimes my eyelids and under-eye area can start to feel a little dry and actually start to flake. It doesn't sound too pleasant but whenever that happens, this eye cream is an absolute saviour. The CeraVe Eye Repair Cream is enriched with three essential ceramides to restore the skin's natural barrier, hyaluronic acid to retain moisture and niacinamide to calm the skin. It was developed with dermatologists and it's even endorsed by the Eczema Association of Australasia – so if you suffer from eczema, this is perfect for you. The formula is lightweight, non-greasy and fast-absorbing. This eye cream is great at reducing the appearance of dark circles and controlling eye puffiness.

THE INKEY LIST Caffeine Under Eye Serum

If you're in the market for cheap skincare brands that are fuss-free, THE INKEY LIST belongs on your radar. The brand is known for simplified products that are super easy to understand. I particularly love the Caffeine Under Eye Serum because it's a great eye cream for beginners. It's simple and clear to comprehend. The under-eye serum is derived from coffee, which actually works to reduce dark circles and fine lines. As you may know, caffeine is a diuretic. This means it helps with controlling the water retention that can lead to puffy eyes. The formula is lightweight and fast absorbing, so it's fabulous for everyday wear, morning and night. It's also free from fragrance and parabens.

GINGER&ME Neurocosmedics Quinoa Lift & Hydrate Eye Cream

If you have a preference for luxury skincare, you should know about GINGER&ME. It's recognised for its range of sophisticated and luxurious formulations. The Quinoa Lift & Hydrate Eye is lightweight but incredibly powerful. The formula has a gel-cream consistency and works to firm and tighten the delicate under-eye area. The eye cream can be used morning and night, but if you are worried about using too much product – don't, because a little goes a long way. I particularly love applying the cream as it comes out of an applicator that feels cool on the skin, helping with puffy eyes. While I didn't see instant results, I found that after continued use, I could definitely see a difference in my skin and the delicate under-eye area. It's recommended that you don't rub this product in, but rather pat the product in and allow it to fully absorb.

Jurlique Herbal Recovery Signature Eye Gel

Jurlique is a special skincare brand because it's formulated with plants harvested by hand. The company extracts the essence from the plant, capturing everything at its peak. This is why the range of products is so powerful. The Herbal Recovery Eye Gel is formulated with a mix of age-defying botanicals including silk tree, yarrow and viola. These have antioxidant and rejuvenating properties, making it incredibly hydrating and nourishing. It smooths fine lines while brightening and plumping the delicate under-eye area. It's a great eye cream for everyday use, with a smooth and light texture that absorbs almost instantly. This creates the perfect canvas before makeup application. You can use this product for all occasions, morning and night, and it won't react to any other skincare you're currently using.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Eye Roll-On

Neutrogena creates simple and affordable beauty products that are perfect if you're just starting to create your own skincare routine. If you need an eye cream but don't want to spend too much cash, the Hydro Boost Eye Roll-On is perfect. It provides deep hydration and is formulated with hyaluronic acid, olive extract and ionic mineral complex. This trio ensures intense moisture is continuously delivered to the fragile under-eye area. One of the best things about the Hydro Boost Roll-On is the rollerball applicator. It's a fantastic addition because it gently massages the skin, stimulating blood circulation while moisturising dry skin. I also find that this eye cream reduces darkness and the appearance of fine lines, so you will look fresh and rejuvenated in no time!

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Synchronised Complex II

To fight all key signs of skin ageing, Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair is a must-have. It promises to bring youthful light to your eyes. It's formulated with an exclusive ChronoluxCB technology that works while you're sleeping. It directly deals with fatigue as well as the effects of pollution and age. Being in my early 20s, I don't have wrinkles to worry about. But I do have a few fine lines and I can visibly see a difference while using this eye cream, even after one use! To combat fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles and even dryness – this is a great product. It's a gel-cream hybrid, meaning the texture is very smooth and silky. It somehow feels as if your lines are being filled. It's very comfortable and feels rather luxurious, which is why I love to use this product.

MAC Lightful C + Coral Grass Vibrancy Eye Cream

The fact that this eye cream comes from MAC Cosmetics is very handy. Not only is it a great skincare product, but it's a great primer before makeup application. The global beauty brand understands how makeup works with skincare. The Lightful C eye cream has a light pink tone that actually cancels out any grey tones under the eyes. This makes it perfect to use during the day, and the added luminosity makes your skin look glowy and bright. It's a creamy consistency that is very fast absorbing. It's formulated with Vitamin C and Coral Grass, which works to hydrate and brighten the skin while also de-puffing the delicate under-eye area. This is a great product if you're looking to make your skin look totally fresh and super plump.

Dermalogica Age Reversal Eye Complex

For powerful active ingredients, Dermalogica should be your go-to brand. The Age Reversal Eye Complex delivers incredibly anti-ageing results, thanks to the potent ingredient retinol. This ingredient is one of the only things clinically proven to reverse signs of ageing. However, we don't recommend using this product in the morning – you should only be using retinol at night. During the testing phase, I used it around one eye only to compare the difference. And the difference was significant. It does a fantastic job of retexturising your skin, leaving it feeling totally smooth and baby soft as well as working wonders on lines and wrinkles. It stimulates cell turnover, protects the skin's natural collagen and elastin reserves and even de-puffs the fragile eye area.

Peter Thomas Roth Hungarian Thermal Water Mineral-Rich Eye Cream

Peter Thomas Roth doesn't disappoint with great skincare products. The Mineral-Rich Eye Cream is formulated with the brand's iconic Hungarian Thermal Water as well as with algae extracts, peptides, plant-derived lipids, caffeine and plenty of Hungarian botanicals. The thermal water is sourced from a secret spring in Hungary. The water in these springs absorbs minerals as it bubbles to the surface. All of these ingredients work together to deeply nourish and moisturise the skin as well as actively help with under-eye concerns. After applying this product, my skin feels firm, smooth and hydrated. It's quite a thick consistency and a little goes a long way. I found that the Mineral-Rich Eye Cream works great to reduce the look of fine lines while improving the appearance of dark circles.
