3. Texture and Absorption

Eye creams come in various textures, from lightweight gels to rich creams. Choose a texture that feels comfortable on your skin and absorbs easily without leaving residue or causing makeup to pill.

4. Compatibility with Makeup

If you wear concealer or other eye makeup, opt for a moisturizer that layers well underneath and doesn't cause smudging or creasing throughout the day.
