The Best Under-Eye Cream For Targeting All Your Concerns at Once

The Best Under-Eye Cream For Targeting All Your Concerns at Once

Like silk, tissue paper, and rose petals, the skin under your eyes is exceptionally thin and delicate. In fact, your under-eye area has fewer oil glands than the rest of your face, and it’s about 10 times thinner. Consequently, it is particularly susceptible to dryness and irritation, and your under eyes are more likely to show signs of fatigue and aging before other areas of your face. 

Due to these factors, your under-eye area has its own set of concerns, such as bags, puffiness, crow’s feet, and dark circles. That doesn’t mean the skin around your eyes needs an additional skincare routine, though. You can keep your eye care routine as minimal as one step. The key lies in selecting an eye cream formulated to comprehensively address multiple under-eye concerns simultaneously. For instance, a versatile formula like the Haruharu wonder Black Rice Bakuchiol Eye Cream is designed to target a spectrum of under-eye issues with a single application. 

Ahead, we’ll explore each common under-eye concern, providing insights into their underlying causes. More importantly, we’ll also share the most effective treatments for the optimal care of your delicate under-eye skin. 

The Most Common Under-Eye Concerns 

Dark Circles 

When the area under your eyes appears to be blue, purple, brown, or even gray, you’re most likely dealing with dark circles. Because the skin under your eyes is so thin, the blood vessels underneath are more likely to show through it and make it look bluish or purplish. Lack of sleep and collagen loss due to aging can make those blood vessels more noticeable. If your dark circles are more on the brownish side, they could have been caused by hyperpigmentation and could have developed due to sun exposure, allergies, or even genetics. 

The best under-eye cream for dark circles is one formulated with brightening ingredients, like vitamin C and niacinamide, to even out your skin tone and make your skin look more radiant and awake. Collagen boosters, like peptides, bakuchiol, and ceramides, are also helpful for plumping up your under-eye area and making the blood vessels underneath less apparent. 

Under-Eye Bags 

Keep waking up in the morning with bags under your eyes? This mild swelling or puffiness is most likely caused by fluid retention due to salt intake, allergies, hormonal changes, or even your sleep position. Lying down can cause fluids to pool under the eyes, making puffiness more noticeable in the morning. Allergies are also known to cause inflammation around your eyes, which can lead to puffiness. And rubbing your eyes only makes under-eye bags worse. 

The best treatment for puffy bags under your eyes is an eye cream containing anti-inflammatory ingredients, such as cica and niacinamide. We also suggest keeping a spoon, facial roller, or gua sha in your fridge or freezer to smooth onto your skin to further help shrink your under-eye bags after applying eye cream. Plus, it will feel incredibly relieving. 

Under-Eye Wrinkles 

The fine lines and wrinkles under your eyes — also known as crow’s feet — are typically a result of sun exposure, dehydration, and aging. Under-eye wrinkles can also appear as sagging or crepey texture. To help smooth and firm your under-eye area, look for an eye cream with collagen stimulators, like retinol, ceramides, and peptides, as well as plumping ingredients, like hyaluronic acid. 

Uneven Texture & Tone 

Milia, those tiny white bumps under your eyes, are caused by a buildup of keratin beneath the skin and can also be triggered by heavy, irritating skincare products. Conversely, under-eye dark spots and discoloration, like melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, result from breakouts, sun exposure, and hormonal shifts. The most effective treatment for both conditions involves using gentle exfoliants, such as lactic acid and mandelic acid, along with retinoids to help regulate cell turnover. 

Dryness & Irritation 

Like the rest of your face, dryness and irritation can lead to flakiness and redness around the eyes. These symptoms can be caused by harsh products, dehydration, weather changes, allergies, dermatitis, or sensitivity to skincare products. To treat them, look for emollients and humectants such as glycerin, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid, as well as soothing anti-inflammatory ingredients like cica and panthenol. 

The Best Under-Eye Cream For Targeting All of These Concerns 

The Haruharu wonder Black Rice Bakuchiol Eye Cream is a multi-tasking solution that addresses any and all of your under-eye concerns. This sensitive skin-friendly formula offers hydration, brightening, firming, and soothing relief. Plus, it instantly absorbs into skin with a refreshing, light finish and zero stickiness or piling. 

Its inclusion of bakuchiol and black rice makes this formula particularly powerful. Bakuchiol is a gentle, plant-based alternative to retinol that’s amazing for the thin skin around your eyes. It’s known to have firming, smoothing, and brightening benefits — just like retinol, but without any irritation. Black rice, on the other hand, is our signature ingredient for nourishing, firming, brightening, and protecting skin from environmental aggressors. 

Here’s how each ingredient — and many more included in the Black Rice Bakuchiol Eye Cream — targets and treats each common under-eye concern. 

Dark Circles 

Clinical studies proved that Haruharu wonder’s Black Rice Bakuchiol Eye Cream improves dark circles by 2.91% after four weeks of use. This can be attributed to its effective under-eye brighteners, including bakuchiol and black rice, as well as niacinamide and ginseng. 

Under-Eye Bags 

Speaking of ginseng, did you know that in skincare form, the prized root can improve circulation, energize skin, and reduce puffiness? That’s why we added it to our Black Rice Bakuchiol Eye Cream. This formula also tackles puffy bags under your eyes with several anti-inflammatory ingredients, such as niacinamide, cica-derived madecassoside, and fermented bamboo extract. The latter is a probiotic-rich antioxidant that reduces inflammation and helps balance your skin’s microbiome. Bakuchiol is also a great under-eye bag treatment because it helps firm skin, which can reduce the appearance of bags long term. 

Under-Eye Wrinkles 

Haruharu wonder’s Black Rice Bakuchiol Eye Cream is also an incredible under-eye wrinkle treatment. It effectively tightens and smooths the delicate skin around the eyes, thanks to a powerful blend of bakuchiol, natto gum, and adenosine. Bakuchiol stimulates collagen production, while natto gum and adenosine enhance skin elasticity. Additionally, hyaluronic acid works to plump the skin, resulting in a refreshed under-eye appearance. Clinical studies have demonstrated impressive results, showing an average wrinkle depth improvement of 11.24% after just four weeks of consistent use. 

Uneven Texture & Tone 

Help rescue your under eyes from milia and discoloration with brightening and gentle exfoliation. Haruharu Wonder's Black Rice Bakuchiol Eye Cream, with its blend of niacinamide, black rice, and bakuchiol, is designed to do just that. Expect a 1.33% improvement in pigmentation intensity after four weeks of use. 

Dryness & Irritation 

Haruharu wonder's Black Rice Bakuchiol Eye Cream intensely moisturizes, hydrates, and soothes the under-eye area. This fragrance-free eye cream is clinically proven to boost moisture levels by 23.77%, thanks to ingredients like glycerin, natto gum, and sodium hyaluronate (a form of hyaluronic acid). Additionally, amino acids and sunflower seed oil work to maintain hydration and repair the skin barrier. Black rice and madecassoside, on the other hand, handle reducing redness and irritation.
