The Votes Are In: This Is the Best Eye Cream Out There

For our 24th annual Best Beauty Buys, we surveyed leading dermatologists, makeup artists, hairstylists, and manicurists to find out which products they can't get enough of. The votes are in: You'll want to clear a shelf for these 154 beauty game-changers.

"The search" is only fun when shopping for very specific items: think a plush comforter, a new lip gloss, or that investment bag you've been saving for. Eye cream does not make that list. Trying to find the best eye cream is a notoriously difficult task because there are so many different formulas at dramatically different price points.

Some write evangelical reviews about their powers, claiming they defeat crow's feet, bags, and dark circles. Others say they didn't do anything at all.

So to solve the prob, we made sure to ask our Best Beauty Buys panel their thoughts on the best anti-aging eye cream out there, and the results are officially in.

Turns out, Alastin Skincare Restorative Eye Treatment got some glowing reviews from the derms on our panel.

So what makes this pricey product oh-so special? The $85-treatment is a tried-and-true multi-tasker. The peptide-rich formula, which promotes firming, collagen, and elastin, boasts benefits like reducing the appearance of crow's feet, depuffs the sensitive area around the eye, and minimizes dark circles while evening out the skin tone.

As for what users of the treatment think? Some customers report that the formula is ultra-moisturizing, providing hydration that lasts all day, while others have commented heavily on the treatment's ability to reduce the appearnce of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.

Yes, $85 isn't necessarily a steal, but if you're down to splurge on an anti-aging treatment that's worth the cash, our panel gives this tiny tube the official thumbs up.
