What it is

CeraVe Skin Renewing Vitamin C Eye Cream targets dark circles, puffiness, dullness and fine lines around the eyes.

Key ingredients

  • Vitamin C 5%: Pure ascorbic acid, which CeraVe says brightens.
  • Caffeine: CeraVe says it visibly reduces puffiness.
  • Ceramides (NP, AP and EOP): CeraVe says they help restore the skin’s natural barrier and keep moisture in.
  • Hyaluronic acid: CeraVe says it helps maintain the skin’s moisture balance.

How to use

Dot onto the eye contour with your ring finger and blend upward. Use twice a day after cleansing, alone or under makeup.

Who should be careful

Avoid getting it in your eyes. CeraVe lists it for adults 18 and over and suggests sensitive skin check with a dermatologist first. Dark circles have many causes; see a doctor if they’re new or persistent.

What the brand claims

CeraVe says it’s clinically shown to make the eye area look smoother and brighter, without giving study details. It’s ophthalmologist tested.
