10 of the best eye creams for mature skin, tested by a beauty editor in her 60s

Active ingredients like hylaronic acid, aloe vera and peptides can help to revive delicate skin around the eyes - (Jane Druker/The Independent)

If you’re buying one of the best eye creams for mature skin, you want it to do more than simply add moisture. As skin becomes drier and finer with age, the eye area can be one of the first places to show dehydration, puffiness and fine lines, so the right formula should feel lightweight while still giving this delicate area enough support.

As with the best eye creams more generally, texture matters just as much as ingredients. Rich formulas can sometimes sit heavily around the eyes, while lighter gels and creams tend to layer more comfortably beneath make-up. This is particularly useful if you also wear a foundation for mature skin, where excess product around the eye area can quickly lead to creasing or settling into lines.
