What to Look for in Under-Eye Hydration Products

Choosing the right under-eye hydration can help address puffiness, dryness, and fine lines for a refreshed appearance.

1. Hydrating Ingredients

Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and squalane that attract and lock in moisture. These help plump and smooth the delicate under-eye area.

2. Texture and Absorption

The skin under your eyes is thin and sensitive, so opt for lightweight gels or creams that absorb quickly without leaving a greasy residue.

3. Added Benefits

Some formulas include soothing agents like caffeine to reduce puffiness or antioxidants such as vitamin C to brighten dark circles. Consider what additional concerns you want to target.

4. Sensitivity and Fragrance-Free Options

Since the eye area is prone to irritation, choose products that are dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, and free from synthetic fragrances or harsh chemicals.
