The claim: Moisturizes skin and helps limit the appearance of fine lines, dark circles and puffiness.
Tester says: "Don't be fooled by the small package – just the tiniest drop of this eye cream does the trick. It rubs into the skin easily and moisturizes nicely. The cooling effect really makes your skin feel refreshed and revitalized. This eye cream does not leave your skin feeling greasy, another bonus. It rubs in and dries to a nice matte finish."
Available at The Body Shop stores and online at thebodyshop.ca
14. Guerlain Orchidée Impériale Exceptional Complete Care Eye and Lip Cream, $187The claim: Orchid extract fights signs of aging and makes skin more firm, supple and smooth.
Tester says: "The packaging is both attractive and functional – it's easy to get at the product and it's travel-friendly. I liked that there was very little smell. The eye cream has a thick texture but isn't greasy, and it soaks right into your skin. It left my skin feeling soft and it's a nice base before applying eye makeup."
Available at department stores across Canada and Guerlain boutiques
15. Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream, $50The claim: Minimizes fine lines and absorbs quickly for easy makeup application.
Tester says: "This cream is in a small tub, which makes it easy to get the product out. It doesn't have a smell and the texture is thick and creamy. You just need a tiny bit (about the size of a grain of rice or two) for it to blend in well and absorb quickly. It made the skin around my eyes feel soft and moisturized."
Available across Canada at Holt Renfrew
16. Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Plantidote Mega-Mushroom Eye Serum, $52.50The claim: Calms skin and reduces puffiness and dark circles.
Tester says: "This is my new all-time favourite. It has powerful moisturizing abilities that soften the fine lines I'm developing around my eyes and relieve any tightness I feel in the eye area (especially in the dry, dry winter months). And the stylish green glass packaging looks cute on my vanity. I only wish it came in a tub rather than a pump dispenser so I could get every drop out with ease."
Available at select The Bay locations and at origins.com
17. Burt's Bees Radiance Eye Creme with Royal Jelly, $24.99The claim: Nourishes skin and reduces fine lines.
Tester says: "This cream is packed with moisture, perfect for dry winter air. I especially like to use it at night and notice that my skin is less dehydrated come morning. And I love that it smells real, not chemically."
Available at major drug, grocery, health and gift stores across Canada; www.burtsbees.ca
18. Prescriptives Intensive Rebuilding Eye Cream, $90The claim: Restores firmness, smooths skin and minimizes dark circles and puffiness.
Tester says: "This cream absorbed well and I didn't need a lot to moisturize. It also tightened the skin really well – it was great for treating puffy eyes. It also diminished my dark circles. One thing I appreciated was that it didn't leave the eye area looking shiny; it just gave the skin a more supple appearance."
Available across Canada at Holt Renfrew
