Reader Q: What's a good eye cream with SPF?

Dear Wendy,

Do you know of a passable under eye cream that has some sort of SPF to it?

Sincerely,
Poppy


Lots and lots of companies are starting to realize that hey, sunscreen hurts when you get it in your eyes, so they're adapting their eye creams to have a little protection with less sting. Go them!

Shiseido and Neutrogena both carry eye creams with an SPF of 30, which I can honestly say that I haven't tried. Nor have I tried Clarins SPF 30 Sun Wrinkle Control Eye Contour Care, but in general, I'm a fan of Clarins. Murad's got an amazing combo of Vitamin C and SPF 15 in their eye cream, but it's sold out just about everywhere, so good luck finding it. My personal favorite in this bunch:

Speaking of eye creams, here's Product Fiends list of The Top Five Best Eye Creams Ever.

Prescriptive's Anti-Age with SPF 25, because I'm super picky about getting way too much product near my eyes and this one is light, plus deals with puffiness. And your bff La Prairie's got a great anti-aging SPF 15 eye therapy, but that's asking for a divorce if you come home with that bad girl because man, it's pricey. Regardless, I don't know that I'd trust the sensitive area by my eyes with paltry little SPF 15 and since you're thinking in that direction (go you!), I would go large or go home.

    I've been using the Made from Earth VITAMIN ENHANCED FACE FIRMING SERUM as an eyecream for about 2 months now and i can honestly say that i've seen a MAJOR difference!!

    i've always had dark under eye circles and now being in my late fourties, fine lines have really started to appear. I use serum for my undereyes but i've also been using it on my forehead. My dark circles are ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE! i can defintely see a difference and my friends have mentioned it too.

    In terms of wrinkles i have seen a big difference on my forehead...the fine lines that were starting to look prominent are starting to disappear. I'm really glad i purchased this Made from Earth product...it actually works. i purchased on their website at madefromearth.com
