The 15 Best Eye Creams for Men

Raise your hand if you’ve never looked in the mirror and said to yourself, “wow, I look tired.” No one? That’s what we thought. Everyone has those moments and whether it’s from staying up all night to meet a work deadline, drinking a little too much at a (Zoom) birthday party, or just tossing and turning till the wee hours, the first place fatigue usually shows up is around your eyes. It’s not just sleepless nights either—it’s common for their eyes to be the first place men notice signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. After all, your eyes might be the window to your soul but, like any window, can benefit from a little upkeep.

This is where eye cream comes in. The skin around your eyes is slightly thinner and more delicate than the rest of your face, which is why it often is the first to show changes. Yes, theoretically you could use your regular moisturizer around your eyes, but because that skin is so delicate, it can also be more sensitive. Eye creams are specifically formulated to be used on this fragile skin, so the active ingredients you want for anti-aging and protection won’t irritate your eyes (plus, unlike moisturizers, they’re tested on the eye area). And before you say you don’t need yet another step in your skincare routine, eye creams take literally seconds to apply - a few dabs under your eyes, tap it into your skin using your ring finger, and you’re done. As for which eye cream to use, well, it depends on what you’re hoping to address. This list of the best eye creams for men is your best place to start no matter what.
