Dark circles, puffiness and under-eye lines are no match for this potent eye cream. (Amazon)
If you're shopping around for a new eye cream, chances are you want one that takes care of multiple concerns at once — like dark circles, puffiness and lines. Tell these and other signs of aging to take a hike by trying RoC's Retinol Correxion Under Eye Cream, a top-selling wonder that helps to diminish all those things you don't like in the mirror, to restore what you do. And it's on sale for $21 (down from $30) at Amazon.
I use this lightweight, exfoliating serum on my sensitive skin every single day, and it's one of the few products my medicine cabinet will never be without. Not only does it smooth out rough bumps and even out my skin tone, it's also dramatically reduced the appearance of my pores and absorbs in seconds, so it never feels heavy or sticky. Formulated with salicylic acid, it gently buffs away rough, flaky patches while clearing out pores, and I can safely say it's improved the look and feel of my skin more than any single product ever has. Oh, and it hardly ever goes on sale, so buy a bottle, or 12!
"I've tried a lot of eye creams," says Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini. "And, for my money, CeraVe makes the best drugstore depuffing/under-eye brightening treatment currently on the market. Not only does it feel good on your skin (absorbs quickly, no gross pilling), it's also fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. Olivia Wilde loves it, along with thousands of reviewers, who say it's like Botox in a cream. I'm not sure about that claim, but I do know this is a quality skin care staple at a price everyone can afford."
At over 40% off, it's within a dollar of its best price all year.
Formulated with powerhouse ingredients like vitamin C, retinol and collagen, among others, these sunny-hued soap bars can help improve skin's hydration and smoothness while targeting dark spots and tone inconsistencies. Feel free to use all over your body, including your face — the citrus scent has reviewers swooning.
This price is within $2 of these bestsellers' all-time low, but it's a limited-time deal, so act fast.
In case the idea of applying a snail secretion to your skin never crossed your mind, take it from thousands of Amazon shoppers — it's effective! This serum has amassed a cult-like following thanks to its lightweight, refreshing feel and hydrating, rejuvenating effects. Snail mucin not only helps boost collagen and elastin for a firmer look and feel, but it can also gently exfoliate for a smoother texture while also soothing the skin. Reviewers reported noticing everything from a brighter complexion to a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and dark spots after using. Good skin care can cost a bundle these days, so to find such a highly-rated product on sale for just $14 is a win in our book.
This classic top is available in nearly 30 colors and prints. Decisions, decisions! Plus, at just $24 (with the on-page coupon), this is close to as low as we've ever seen this 100% cotton top (it briefly dipped to $20 for Prime Day).
"I love the forgiving fit and the colors," raved one fan. "This shirt can be tucked, untucked, belted or tied. It can be a cover-up, worn with a shirt underneath and left unbuttoned or worn with leggings, shorts … needless to say, I’m having fun with this shirt and have hopes it will last a long time, as it appears sturdy and well made."
You're definitely going to want one or two (or three) of these breezy dresses in your closet this spring. And it can transition right into summer — just layer it under a sweater, jacket or button-down top to make it more suitable for chilly days (or nights).
With another birthday just a few weeks away, I'm amping up my anti-aging skin-care routine in a big way. So when I spotted RoC's top-rated under-eye cream was on sale, I immediately pressed "purchase." This eye cream uses retinol to combat dark under-eyes, puffiness and wrinkles — a trifecta, in my opinion.
Romolini also deemed this formula the best eye cream for dark circles overall, so I feel confident in adding it to my regimen. She notes, "It's excellent for improving the appearance of both fine lines and dark circles, and it's dermatologist recommended too. I only wish it contained more antioxidant, nourishing ingredients. But for the price, it honestly cannot be beat."
Reduce the appearance of dark circles, lines and wrinkles for way less than a spa treatment.
At 30% off, RoC's formula costs far less than going to a dermatologist or paying for a microneedling pen and cartridges to endure a rather painful skin care ordeal. If you want to save even more, score an additional 40% off when you select Subscribe and Save (instead of a one-time purchase) and get it delivered regularly.
This eye cream delivers results. It contains anti-aging ingredients like antioxidants and chelating agents, which prevent retinol degradation, according to RoC. Most importantly, the ingredients list includes retinol, skin care's hero for reducing the appearance of lines and generally turning back the clock, dermatologically speaking. Need further inspiration? Yahoo Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini named it the best overall eye cream for dark circles — "for the price," she noted, "it honestly cannot be beat."
As with any skin care product on the market, consistency is key. Apply a few dabs to your under-eye area after washing your face and gently massage the cream into your skin. With everyday use, you'll soon be saying goodbye to lines and dark circles. In a study conducted by RoC, participants reported brighter and less puffy eyes in four weeks and a reduction of fine lines by 50% in 12 weeks.
Over 19,800 Amazon shoppers have sung this eye cream's praises with five-star reviews.
This reviewer said: "After trying many products for under-eye circles, I finally found one that works. People have complimented me on looking younger. This is the only change I have made."
"I've been using this product for about a week now. It is amazing!" raved another fan. "I can definitely see a difference in my under-eye puffiness and dark circles. I use it twice a day, morning and night. It is the best product I have ever used that actually works. Plus, the price is not as outrageous as some of those expensive name-brand products."
"Holy grail of eye cream," proclaimed this devotee. "I bought this to remove fine lines and try to correct some stubborn milia around my eyes. It really works."
Some shoppers said there was little to no noticeable difference after using the eye cream. "The results have been more moderate than I had hoped for," reported this customer. "While there has been some improvement, it hasn't been as dramatic as I anticipated based on the product claims. It's possible that my expectations were too high, but I was hoping for a more noticeable difference in the appearance of fine lines."
And this final reviewer found a different use: "It didn't do anything to reduce puffy eyes ... However, I didn't waste the RoC. It's a good emollient cream for hands."
