When it comes to eye creams, finding one that truly delivers is no easy feat—especially for mature skin. So when we polled more than 600 NewBeauty readers* about their favorite skin-care products, we were curious to see which formulas stood out. Among readers over 50, the results were nearly unanimous: Drunk Elephant C-Tango Vitamin C Eye Cream ($65) is the go-to.
This rich, restorative cream is designed to brighten, firm and hydrate the delicate eye area. Powered by five forms of vitamin C and an eight-peptide blend, it works to improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles while defending against environmental stressors. Cucumber extract adds a soothing touch, making the formula gentle yet effective for all skin types. But the real proof is in the praise.
One 73-year-old reader told us, “This eye cream makes the eye area appear bright and wide awake.” Another, age 64, shared, “It’s very hydrating and helps with the puffiness under my eyes. The vitamin C brightens my dark circles. Highly recommend!”
Others echoed similar sentiments, calling out its perfect consistency and clean ingredients. “It’s moisturizing, brightening and easy to use,” said one 54 year-old reader. “Love the consistency and performance of this hydrating eye cream,” said another, 54. “Super convenient with the attached twisty lid!”
If you’ve tried countless eye creams without finding “the one,” this might be the formula that changes everything. Readers over 50 swear by its ability to deliver visible results—and based on their feedback, it’s worth every penny.
