What Is the Best Eye Cream for Men?

This one goes out to the men out there: have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and noticed, suddenly, that you look more tired than usual? Maybe you can’t quite pinpoint it; maybe it’s your skin looking a little dry, or maybe your shave isn’t quite up to scratch. Most often, the culprits will be found around your eyes: puffy eyes from sleepless nights, dark circles sucking the light from your eyes. Worry not, though. With the right eye cream, you can reverse some of those signs of fatigue. Keep reading, and we’ll help you discover the best eye cream for men to revive their eye contour area.

But should men use eye cream?

Yes, no question about it! Women have been doing it for years, dutifully applying eye creams to our eye contour areas in order to drain eye bags, erase dark circles, and keep fine lines and wrinkles at bay. Now it’s your turn, gentlemen. The skin around your eyes is much thinner and much more sensitive than the rest of your face, so it is almost certainly where you will begin to notice changes as you age.

To be fair, you don’t even have to wait for age to catch up with you. Even if you are in your teens or 20s, the skin around your eyes can still be plagued by eye bags, dark circles, and expression lines. Lifestyle changes may be able to help you minimize some of these signs, but let’s be honest: are you going to adapt your sleep schedule specifically to avoid puffy eyes and dark circles? Yeah. We didn’t think so either.

The best eye cream for men to reverse signs of fatigue

Your needs may not be everybody else’s needs. Maybe you’re looking for the right eye cream to tackle signs of fatigue, or maybe you’re already thinking of wrinkles and loss of firmness around your eyes. In order to find the best eye cream for men like you, we’ve split our selection into three sections: fatigue, dark circles, and anti-aging.

L’Oréal Paris Men Expert Hydra Energetic Anti-Fatigue Eye Roll-On

From L’Oréal Paris Men Expert comes the Hydra Energetic Anti-Fatigue Eye Roll-On, a refreshing gel infused with both antioxidant vitamin C and energizing caffeine. Through its cooling roll-on applicator, this eye gel creates an instantly refreshing sensation, which will help you drain eye bags and illuminate the eye area for a brighter, more alert look.

ClarinsMen Energizing Eye Gel

With a similar roll-on applicator, the ClarinsMen Energizing Eye Gel features not one, not two, but three spheres that promote product absorption while creating a depuffing effect under the eyes. Combining ginseng and bison grass, this eye gel visibly energizes the skin, while horse chestnut and green coffee specifically target dark circles and puffiness. An exciting add-on, an exclusive Clarins plant-based anti-pollution complex, shields the skin from both indoor and outdoor pollutants.

Clinique Men Maximum Hydrator Eye

Moving away from roll-on applicators, the Clinique Men Maximum Hydrator Eye is a hydrating booster with a novel texture. The product contains colorful beads that incorporate encapsulate antioxidants. As you dispense the product, the beads burst, therefore enriching the lightweight texture of the gel with potent antioxidants that will invigorate your skin and protect it from external aggressions. Hydrating as well as invigorating, this Clinique formula could be the best eye cream for men to apply right out of bed in the morning.

The best eye cream for men to reduce dark circles

Dark circles are notably difficult to erase, but we’re going to give you a fighting chance with these eye creams.

Frezyderm Eye Balm Puffiness & Dark Circles

This lightweight cream-gel is powered by a tried-and-tested blend of Bioflavonoids, Acetyl Tetrapeptide and herbal extracts to activate microcirculation and improve the appearance of dark circles. Easy to apply and quick to absorb (and, therefore, perfect for those who tend to develop milia), this cream-gel not only minimizes dark circles and puffiness, but also offers an extra boost in the anti-aging department. Not bad!

ISDINCEUTICS K-Ox Eyes Puffiness & Dark Circles Cream

With its uncomplicated texture and superpowered formula, ISDINCEUTICS K-Ox Eyes Puffiness & Dark Circles Cream is a strong contender for the title of the best eye cream for men (and everybody else) on a quest against dark circles. While vitamin K and a peptide-based Haloxyl complex target dark circles in order to reduce them, the depuffing Eyeliss complex helps drain eye bags. Finally, a shot of hyaluronic acid completes the cocktail with some extra benefits against fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.

NUXE Men Multi-Purpose Eye Cream

From beloved French brand NUXE comes the practical NUXE Men Multi-Purpose Eye Cream. In just one application, this eye cream can moisturize your skin, erase signs of fatigue, reduce under-eye puffiness, and minimize dark circles. It is a perfect option for men who lead a hectic lifestyle, since it helps keep the skin protected from the oxidative stress caused by daily irritants. As expected from NUXE, it also smells incredible, with a selection of spicy and woody notes that will perfectly match your everyday cologne.

The best eye cream for men to tackle signs of aging

Now we enter the realm of heavyweight anti-aging eye creams.

Filorga Optim-Eyes Eye Contour Cream

Filorga Optim-Eyes Eye Contour Cream is one product we recommend often: it offers a triple-action effect that minimizes dark circles, reduces eye bags, and smoothes both fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. With a fresh but hydrating texture, this eye cream can offer the boost of vitality you need after a sleepless night; you can even keep it in the refrigerator to optimize the effect!

Endocare Tensage Radiance Eye Contour

Another good option for men looking to minimize signs of aging around the eyes is the Endocare Tensage Radiance Eye Contour fluid. Effective against dark circles and eye bags, this specialist product also creates an immediate firming effect. If your anti-aging concerns have more to do with firmness than wrinkles, this eye contour fluid may be perfect for you. It will even provide immediate results, thanks to a handy trick incorporated into the formula: discreet micro-pigments to illuminate the under-eye area.

Nivea Men Anti-Age Hyaluron Eye Cream

Last, but not least, we’re ending with a hyaluronic acid-powered eye cream for men who know exactly what they want from their skincare. The Nivea Men Anti-Age Hyaluron Eye Cream is a daily care gel that combines hyaluronic acid with glycerin, this eye gel provides an anti-aging action while deeply hydrating the sensitive skin around the eyes. Each application provides up to 24 hours of hydration, restoring elasticity and firmness, all the while reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
