The Best Eye Creams For Men In Their 20s

By Khanak Mehta

So you’ve been pulling all-nighters lately, for big presentations during the work week and football matches that go on till the next day on your weekends. While you may have your trusty coffee cup by your side helping you out here, your under-eyes might just need a little more than that. Puffiness and dry under-eyes are common side effects of all these late nights, and if you're beginning to notice them in the mirror every morning, it’s time to invest in an eye cream.

It’s usually thought that eye creams are a staple for those in their 40s and 50s – but in reality, they do much more than just help reverse the signs of ageing. Regularly applying an eye cream even in your 20s can help keep the area hydrated, reduce puffiness, and even lay the groundwork for delaying the early signs of ageing. We know it can be confusing to figure out which eye cream is right for you – but this is where we come in. Here are some of our top picks to help you hide the evidence with ease.

Mamaearth Vitamin C Under Eye Cream

Want an eye cream that does double duty? This pick from Mamaearth doesn’t just brighten and de-puff, but also has an in-built electric massager that gives your under-eye area some extra TLC. Perfect for late nights, and even better for when you’ve had one too many drinks at dinner the night before and are *seriously* regretting it now. 

THE BODY SHOP 

Drops Of Light Pure Healthy Brightening Eye Cream

They weren’t kidding when they named this eye cream ‘Drops of Light’. The power-packed formula promises to visibly brighten your under-eye area after just one use, and the cooling applicator is an extra circulation-boosting, de-puffing treat for your skin. 

VERSO 

Eye Cream

This eye cream from Verso does more than just hydrate – the potent formula also works to re-build the moisture barrier in your under-eye area, making it feel soft and supple 24/7. The combination of fermented oats and a hyaluronic acid boosting yeast extract makes this a powerful pick in our books. 

THE FACE SHOP 

Mango Seed Moisturizing Eye Cream

Formulated with organic mango seed, this nourishing formula from cult-favourite K-beauty brand The Face Shop is a must-have in your collection if you are a clean beauty devotee. Get ready for this – the eye cream is paraben-free, natural, vegan, sulphate-free, mineral oil-free, and cruelty-free, too. Whew! Now that’s a long list. 

INNISFREE

Jeju Orchid Eye Cream  

If you’re on the lookout for an eye cream that’ll last you a while, your search ends here. This eye cream from Innisfree gives you the most value for your buck – or should we say rupee. That’s not all, though - their formula is also enriched with the unique ‘Orchid Elixer 2.0’, which helps hydrate and brighten, while also firming the delicate skin around your eyes.
