For many of us, our eyes are a leading feature, but they’re also vulnerable to stress, dehydration and poor sleep. However, these leading eye treatments will restore vitality and health in no time.
Eyes say a lot about a man, so you’ll want to make sure yours are in mint condition. Your peepers and the thin skin around them are easily damaged, and the best way of preventing – or repairing – this is with one of these effective eye treatments.
Guys can be funny when it comes to grooming. There are plenty who will shun anything more involved than a streak of sunscreen at a cricket game. Yet these are also the guys who end up spending many long moments in front of the mirror wondering where their youth went. A few simple steps can help reduce the signs of age and adventure, and this should start at the eyes, which are often victim to our wicked ways and can tell a misleading tale of weariness and fatigue if not given a little love.
Kiehl’s – Eye Fuel for Men
This New York brand does several eye treatments, but this one is formulated especially for men. Light yet very effective, this eye cream is great for day and night use. In the morning, caffeine will de-puff any under-eye baggage and, along with cooling cucumber extract, will wake you up; while vitamin B3 will brighten the skin. Use regularly to minimise fine lines.
Gentlemen’s Tonic – Advanced Derma Care Revitalise Eye Cream
Designed specifically to work with men’s tougher skin, this easy-to-use eye cream is packed with bioactive components like vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. By stimulating circulation to the skin around the eyes, this cream fights dark circles and puffiness, giving you a well-rested look.
Biotherm Homme – Age Fitness Advanced Eye Cream
Harnessing the restorative powers of marine life, this rich eye cream uses green and blue micro-algae extracts to keep your peepers looking their best. H. Pluvialis Extract, Spirulina Extract and Life Plankton all work together to fight signs of fatigue and ageing, leaving your eyes looking bright and fresh.
ROC – Retinol Correxion Eye Cream
If you missed the memo about prevention and need to do a little repairing, this hard-hitting miracle worker should be in your skincare arsenal. This highly effective cream consistently gets rave reviews and for good reason – retinol is known for getting tough with wrinkles, redness, puffiness and everything in between, and this powerful concoction is loaded with it. Just be sure only to use this at night as retinol makes skin very sensitive to the sun.
Dr Dennis Gross – Ferulic + Retinol Triple Correction Eye Serum
This powerful eye serum is designed to be used over the entire eye
The Ordinary- Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG
The company and its founder may be a little controversial, but there’s no denying that The Ordinary makes highly effective – and affordable – products. This thick, no-frills serum packs a one-two hit of caffeine and Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside (ECGC, a green tea extract) to rid your face of any sign of eye fatigue, from puffiness and dark circles to fine lines. Ideal for when you’ve been enjoying your nocturnal activities and still need to look put-together in the morning.
Hawkins & Brimble – Energising Eye Cream
For those with reactive or irritable skin, this gentle eye cream uses natural ingredients and is free from parabens and colourants while still being a workhorse. The lightweight, fast-absorbing product is packed with soothing ingredients like aloe vera, ginseng, oatmeal and vitamin E which work together to combat dullness and fatigue while restoring hydration to the eye area.
Tom Ford Beauty – Anti-Fatigue Eye Treatment
A metal, contoured applicator gives some added power to this lifting, firming eye treatment. The restorative formula is infused with skin-soothing ingredients like algae, grape seed extract, as well as caffeine, tangerine, pomegranate and rosemary; you’ll get a quick hit of moisture while also smoothing fine lines and waking up the eyes.
