Choosing the right nighttime eye cream can help address concerns like dryness, puffiness, and fine lines while you sleep.

1. Targeted Concerns

2. Active Ingredients

Look for ingredients like retinol, peptides, hyaluronic acid, or vitamin C that support skin renewal and hydration overnight.

3. Texture & Absorption

Night creams often have richer textures for deeper hydration. Choose a formula that absorbs well without feeling greasy or heavy around the delicate eye area.

4. Sensitivity & Fragrance-Free Options
