Why do men need to wear under-eye cream?

If you are 25+ and don’t use an under-eye cream for men as part of your daily grooming routine, now is the time to start.

We’re often asked, ‘Should men wear eye cream?’, and the answer is yes! Eye cream is a must-have for men who want to ditch the dark circles and give the skin around their eyes an awakening boost.

Is a men's eye cream missing from your grooming routine? Find your perfect match as we reveal the best eye creams for men.

Why do men need eye cream?

Most men will moisturise their skin, but if you want to ditch the dark circles and improve the skin around your eyes, an eye cream for men can make all the difference.

Some eye creams are designed to help men deal with eye bags and dark circles.

Other eye creams for men use anti-ageing formulas to firm the skin around the eyes, helping men’s eyes to look younger.

Here are a few more benefits of using an eye cream for men:

  • Refreshes and awakens tired eyes
  • Soothes and hydrates dry skin around the eyes
  • Calms puffy eyes and dark circles
  • Helps the skin around the eyes feel more comfortable
  • A gentle eye cream for men may also help to manage eyelid eczema

Who should use an eye cream for men?

Since the first signs of ageing, sagging skin around the eye can appear from your mid-twenties, we believe that all men over the age of 25 should use an eye cream or eye serum as part of their natural and organic grooming routine.

Men who travel frequently will benefit from a rejuvenating eye cream that targets dark circles to help their skin look less jet lagged.

A rejuvenating eye cream is also an excellent choice for men who experience tired-looking eyes after gaming late at night, studying late or working a night shift.

New dads doing the night feed will quickly appreciate the eye-refreshing benefits of a Vitamin C eye serum.

And if you’re a man who is prone to eyelid eczema, applying a gentle, scent-free eye cream for men that is proven to be kind to sensitive skin could make all the difference.

How can men get rid of under-eye bags and dark circles? 

Men who want firmer, fresher-feeling eyes can’t go wrong with our unisex Rejuvenating Eye Cream.

Designed for eyes that look tired even when you’re feeling wide awake, this awakening eye cream for men uses a plant cell complex of Tuberose with Betaine to disguise dark circles and tone lines.

This complex has been proven to diminish puffiness and dark circles. 76% of testers noticed a decrease in dark circles in just 30 days!

It's easy to use, tap it around the eye at the start and end of the day.

But don’t just take our word for it. David is a verified buyer of our Rejuvenating Eye Cream and left us this fantastic review:

Using a facial massage tool for Men, such as a Gua Sha, can also help to depuff the eye area.

Best eye serum for men

If your main concern is targeting wrinkles around your eyes, then the best Firming Vitamin C Eye Serum for men is your go-to.

Powered by collagen-boosting Vitamin C, this uses the Postbiotic Bacillus Ferment to plump the delicate skin around the eyes, increasing hydration by 26% in just 1 hour!

Lighter than eye cream, its gel-like texture can sink deeper into the skin to reach where wrinkles form.

We recommend applying this eye cream for men twice daily, once in the morning and once at night, just before applying your moisturiser.

Best sensitive eye cream for men

Men with sensitive eyes and men who may be prone to eyelid eczema may prefer our unscented eye cream.

This uses the same firming formula but is free from essential oils. This gentle eye cream for men is also dermatologically tested and clinically proven to be kind to sensitive skin.

How to apply eye cream for men

Men can apply eye cream at any time of the day or night. For best results, dispense the product onto your fingertip and then gently tap it onto the skin around your eyes.

You do not need to wash off your eye cream. Leave it to sink into the skin before applying your moisturiser.

If you are prone to bags with a blue/purple hue around your eyes, concentrate on the area of skin directly under the eye, using the gentle tapping motion to drain excess fluid away from the eyes.
