CeraVe Eye Repair Cream: The Best Eye Cream You Can Buy?
If you’re a skincare enthusiast, you’ve likely heard of the buzzy brand, CeraVe. Known for its affordable yet high-quality products, CeraVe has garnered a loyal following from beauty editors, celebrities, and consumers alike. But there’s one product in particular that seems to be getting all the attention lately—the CeraVe Eye Repair Cream.
Promising to minimize the appearance of dark circles, reduce puffiness, and brighten the eye area, this eye cream is formulated with essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide. But does it really live up to the hype? To find out, we enlisted the help of three beauty editors who tried the eye cream for the very first time.
Madeleine Spencer, a journalist, broadcaster, and makeup artist, was impressed with the cream’s ability to hydrate and repair damage. “I was sold on the idea of it repairing damage—38 years of smiling and crying and gravity have made the skin around my eyes a bit tired, so I quite liked the promise of a little more than just hydration,” she says. “It didn’t disappoint. It feels like a cream with a little extra, leaving a veil of hydration (but not grease) in its wake.”
Morgan Fargo, a freelance beauty editor with sensitive skin, also had positive things to say about the eye cream. “Finding an eye cream suitable for sensitive skin (free from irritants like fragrance and essential oils), seemed like a sensible next step,” she says. “After a couple of weeks of using the eye cream (which absorbs quickly and smoothly without disappearing—things which are typically a big bugbear), I found that my under-eyes felt less puffy and sallow-looking.”
Lucy Partington, a freelance beauty journalist who is a self-proclaimed “CeraVe stan,” had a slightly different experience. While she appreciated the cream’s affordability and proven ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, she found that the formula’s inclusion of silicone made her eye area feel too smooth and soft. “It’s definitely a product best used in the evening,” she says.
Overall, it seems that the CeraVe Eye Repair Cream is a solid choice for those looking for a hydrating, reparative eye cream that won’t break the bank. Its formula of ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide is proven to help lock in moisture and improve skin barrier function. However, as with any skincare product, individual experiences may vary. If you’re curious about trying the CeraVe Eye Repair Cream for yourself, be sure to patch test first and consult with a dermatologist if you have any concerns.
