If you’re a mom, then keep reading! We know you’ll totally be able to relate. Between late nights, early mornings, and stressful phone calls (just to name a few), parenting struggles can certainly take a toll on our appearance, including those unsightly under-eye bags and dark circles.
Although moms may not be able to control everything, there’s a slew of beauty treatments that can help look like they got an eight-hour, restful snooze. So we asked real moms to share their favorite eye creams that keep them looking, well, alive.
ZO Skin Health Intense Eye Crème $130
“Since I’m almost turning 40, I started to use this cream and I noticed that it helps diminish my wrinkles and brighten the skin under my eyes. It also makes my skin a lot smoother.” – Jackie, 39
Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb $48
“I [usually] hate using eye gels…but I like this one because it helps me fake real sleep. And the price tag is reasonable too.” – Julie, 32
PCA Ideal Complex Revitalizing Eye Gel $88
“Surprisingly, I made it through my 20s (and half of my 30s) without my under-eye area darkening and sagging, but now that I have two kids under the age of three, I’m all about eye creams. I look to PCA to firm, lift, and hydrate this area.”– Deena, 35
L’Oreal Revitalift Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Eye Cream Treatment $18
“I love this eye cream because it’s cooling on the eye area and absorbs into the skin well. I like that it’s moisturizing but not oily. Plus, it’s affordable and I can get it at most drug and grocery stores. Win, win!” –Debbie, 61
Mary Kay Timewise Firming Eye Cream $32
“This eye cream feels so good on. It’s very moisturizing and helps me reduce the fine lines around my eyes.” – Jonetta, 32
Ursa Major Golden Hour Recovery Cream $48
“This isn’t quite an eye cream, but it works just as well as others I’ve tried and it’s full of natural ingredients without the unnecessary gunk.” –Danyelle, 39
No 7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Eye Cream $21
“First, I love how inexpensive this is and, to be honest, it’s better than the expensive options I’ve tried. I can see the difference in my crow’s feet within weeks of using this.” – Constance, 53
SkinCeuticals A.G.E Complex $98
“With a newborn at home, my current skin [and] makeup regimen has become very streamlined. I apply this in the morning and night to fake being well rested. A little goes a long way, and the formula gets rid of puffiness so I don’t need to pack on lots of makeup before leaving the house.” – Mollie, 32
Ahava Extreme Firming Eye Cream $62
“It immediately tightens the skin around my eyes (particularly the skin under my eyes) without drying it out. Most other eye creams with too much retinol dry me out. Not to mention this eye cream still keeps my skin supple and flexible.” – Alexa, 41
iS CLINICAL Youth Eye Cream $98
“A good eye cream is a must-have for me because, let’s face it, keeping up with two boys can be exhausting. This cream is my trick to looking rested. It’s the perfect blend of antioxidants and brightens my eyes while keeping my skin smooth and hydrated all day long.” – Phoebe, 34
LaRoche-Posay Pigmentclar Eye Cream $43
“This was a staple in my routine before I became a mom, but now I need it now more than ever to help mask my tired eyes after sleepless nights with a newborn. I love its cooling applicator that gets rid of puffy bags and helps diminish my dark circles.” – Sherri, 32
