The Best Over-the-Counter Treatments for Eye Wrinkles and Bags

Our eyes are the first place to show signs of aging, due to the more delicate skin in that area. Finding the right over-the-counter treatments to care for your eye area can make a significant difference in combating wrinkling and bags. Does this Spark an idea?

  1. Cucumber

    • Cucumber slices over the eyes reduce puffiness. Origins Eye Doctor contains the cooling and soothing essence of cucumber to depuff the eyes.

    Antioxidants

    • Vitamins like A, C and E are antioxidants that fight wrinkles and aging. Olay's Regenerist Serum contains antioxidants, which have been shown to reverse the signs of aging caused by sun damage.

    Retinol

    • Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A and is in the same family as the retinoids found in FDA-approved wrinkle fighters like Retin-A and Renova. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream features retinol as a primary ingredient.

    Caffeine

    • A cream containing caffeine can rev up circulation and fight under-eye puffiness. Prescriptives Vibrant-C Skin Brightening Eye Cream contains both caffeine and vitamin C.

    Misconceptions

    • Most people do not need a separate cream for the eye area. If you have normal to dry skin that is not sensitive, the same rich antioxidant moisturizer can be used on eye wrinkles as you use on the rest of your face; however, heavy creams should be avoided for the under-eye area.
