Looking for the best eye serums on the market? You’ve come to the right place.
Now, we’re not trying to put your beloved eye cream out of a job. But unlike an eye cream (primarily designed to moisturise and hydrate), eye serums target specific concerns, AKA those pesky fine lines and wrinkles. Call them the harder-working cousin, if you will.
It is important to note, however, that eye products are not interchangeable with your regular skin care formulations. So, before you get too excited, reconsider substituting your eye cream for your face’s regular retinol or vitamin C serum.
Why? Because compared to the skin on the rest of our face, the area around our eyes is much thinner and more delicate. As well as being more prone to early signs of ageing, such as sagging and wrinkles, it also requires a formulation that mightn’t be quite as strong as the serum you’re using to combat the pigmentation on your cheeks.
Ready to find an eye serum to keep your peepers bright, youthful and glowing? We thought you’d never ask…

John Plunkett’s SuperLift Collagen Eye Lift Treatment Cream
We say: If the trifecta of smoothed, soothed and lifted eyebags are on your cards then this is the cream you need. The lightweight eye-lifting cream works to boost collagen which removes fine lines and wrinkles while rosehip oil and hyaluronic acid work to hydrate and smooth away any dark circles.
You say: “The eye cream is fragrance free and is made in Australia, which I love. You don’t need to use much, just a couple of dabs (one for each eye) morning and night. It is a very rich, moisturising cream. I feel it has helped with the puffiness under my eyes. My skin is definitely more hydrated and I’ll take any help I can get. Definitely a quality product. Easy to use and makes your skin feel and look better.” – Sootyhere

Whilst my dark circles have not yet completely faded I have noticed a slight improvement and will continue to use them to get better results.

We say: This powerful gel-come-cream eye treatment is the pigment-treating ointment. Using the power of seven multi-active plant extracts and delicately treating the under eye skin with anti-pigment ingredients, you’ll be bound to look well rested in a flash.
You say: “I was excited to use it as I have not been sleeping well for so long now and as a result, the dark under eye circles are now dark and visible. The product comes in a 15 ml tube and you use it twice daily. After using this twice a day, I can now start to see some results. The area is smoother looking and definitely less dark. My under eye area doesn’t need quite as much concealer now too which is a good thing. It’s made in Australia and not tested on animals, which is fabulous.” – Shop A Everyday

Yes that sounds nice too
It would be good to have been told the prices of these

Id love to try the Tatcha one that everyone raves about, but its very expensive.

I am hesitant on the price too, but the ingredients sound very interesting
I haven’t tried any of these but would look at Glow Lab Eye Serum
Same here JuJu47
Pretty expensive options.
I’d like to give any of these products a try. My eyes are looking so weary at the moment.

I haven’t tried any of the ones listed but the Tatcha one interests me. I’ve been loving The Jojoba Company Transformative Eye Serum which was also part of the Best In Beauty trial.
Me too, I’m very impressed with that serum
I have also been loving The Jojoba Company Transformative Eye Serum which was also part of the Best In Beauty trial.
I’d like to try any of those products, the Tatcha sounds interesting
Have not tried them… but I like the Ella Bache one.
Interesting article. I haven’t used any of these and a few are brands that I was unaware of.
I’m the same Trish – I love the Drunk Elephant name for a brand
I’d love to try all of these serums
Some of these are so pricey! I wonder what the Charlotte Tilbury product is like?!
I would love to try the Tatcha serum!
I haven’t seen these before and I would love to try them!
I haven’t tried any of these. I prefer eye serums to creams because my skin can’t handle anything too rich.
I would like to sample some of the above mentioned.
No, haven’t tried these listed, want all lol. Do use atm some eye serum that is good.
Some great serums to try
Some beautiful Eye Serums, once I have finished the Serum that I am using at the moment will give the Vitamin C Serum a try from Boost Lab.
Drunk Elephant is the best name, I’m tempted to try the products based on that alone!
I used to use a Perricone MD eye serum years ago that was brilliant but was discontinued. This reminds me to re-consider the brand!
I’ve used so many eye creams and serums, but I haven’t tried any of the above mentioned.
How about Jojoba’s eye serum? as just mentioned int eh Beauty Awards
Nothing helps with my permanent under eye puffiness unfortunately.
I haven’t tried any of these – sadly my budget will only stretch to the cheaper options, but they sound good.
I haven’t heard some of them.
No would like to try the glow lab one
Love to try the Tatcha one.
I have tried some of those. A few are very expensive but only a little is required most times so they last quite a while.
I must say I’m highly impressed after trying Dermal.MD eye serum. I’ve used this serum at night for 11 days and I’m glad I purchased this products. The difference in the way my eyes dark circles looks & feels after I began using this is too evident to not attribute it to the Particular product. It made my eyes look more youthful✅
I have been using dermal.MD under eye serum, Eyes feels relaxed after using it, after using it for a week I can see the change in puffiness and it reduced the dark circles the biggest fear was weather they’ll cause any irritation over the eyes but no it doesn’t cause any irritation & is really a great product. You must try it easy to use and apply✅✅
fragrence free around eye for me please
I haven’t tried any of these products.
I haven’t tried any of those lovely products yet!
