Finding the right anti-ageing eye cream can mean the difference between pronounced crow’s feet and subtle laughter lines. We explain how to help minimise the appearance of lines under the eyes and introduce you to our best eye cream for wrinkles.
What causes wrinkles under the eyes?
Ageing
The skin grows thinner and loses elasticity with age (as collagen and fat levels naturally deplete), causing wrinkles to appear. As the skin around the eyes is thinner than the rest of the face, fine lines often appear around the eyes first.
Sun damage and environmental stressors
UV rays can break down the collagen in the skin, causing fine lines. Environmental stressors can also damage the skin barrier, resulting in premature wrinkles.
Dehydrated skin
Dehydrated skin is a skin condition triggered by a lack of water. Skin often feels tight and flaky, while fine lines look more pronounced, particularly around the eyes.
Facial movements
Repetitive facial movements (frowning, smiling and squinting) can cause lines to appear prematurely under the eyes.
How to help reduce the appearance of lines under the eyes
Apply Hyaluronic Acid daily
The key to plump, hydrated and youthful-looking skin, hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant that helps replenish moisture levels and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Start using eye cream early
Delaying the appearance of fine lines is always easier than trying to get rid of them, so start using an eye cream sooner rather than later.

It’s also infused with Lipopeptides and Vitamin A to help reduce the appearance of those first fine lines.
Always wear SPF
Sun damage can cause the collagen in skin to break down, resulting in a loss of firmness and elasticity. To prevent sun damage, use an SPF-infused face cream every day to help shield skin from both UVA and UVB rays.
