The Best Eye Creams And Moisturizers For Women Over 50
Skincare is one of my favorite topics! I’ve spent a ton of time blogging about moisturizing products, and while they can be used on the face and body, our eyes need something specific. Were you wondering how to find the best eye creams and moisturizers for women over 50? I’m so glad you asked. Lol. I use three different eye creams. If one is good, then three are better…right!?! I hope by the end of this post, you’ve found something you love, and that I’ve convinced you to make eye creams part of your skincare routine!
What Should A Woman Over 50 Look for In An Eye Cream?
Look for an eye cream that targets signs of aging, such as crow’s feet, fine lines, and the appearance of wrinkles. Extra points for lightweight, fragrance-free formulas with active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin C, which can help boost collagen production, improve skin elasticity, AND reduce dryness in the under-eye area. Yes, please!
For sensitive or mature skin, it’s important to pick a product with a smooth consistency that nourishes the skin barrier without causing irritation. Board-certified dermatologists often recommend creams with growth factors and algae (yes, algae!). For more moisturizers, check out this post: The Best Face Moisturizers for Women over 5O.

My Daily Routine Eye Creams and Moisturizers
Each of these products is applied at a specific spot. Be sure to read the directions so you know where to apply your creams. The Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex by Rodan & Fields is an under-eye cream. It can be applied closer to the eye than most. If you have dark undereye circles, be sure to read my post on The Best Products To Get Rid of Dark Undereye Circles.
I use the City Beauty Lid Lifting Treatment to try and combat droopy eyelids. I apply this cream in the crease and upwards.
The eye cream that is my favorite is the REDEFINE Multi-Function Eye Cream. If you can only choose one eye cream, this one is my pick. For years, this has been the only one I have used, but I decided to add the others last year. You apply this cream on the orbital bone, not close to the eye. As the cream heats up because of your body temperature, it will spread, and you don’t want it to spread into your eyes.
Highly-Rated Eye Creams According To Reviews
Here are highly-rated eye creams. I looked at the reviews and picked the ones that everyone seemed to like the best.
L’oreal is a great brand for skincare. This eye cream has antioxidants and Vitamin E. Its claim to fame is that it promotes new cells. Who doesn’t love that? Some users swear by it for firming up their skin and reducing puffiness. I don’t know about you, but I could sure use some help in the morning to perk these eyes up, ha! Plus, it’s fragrance-free, so you won’t be battling any weird smells while you’re brightening up those peepers!
The Best Eye Creams And Moisturizers With Good Reviews
Here’s another well-known brand. I have used many Estee Lauder products over the course of my life, and I’ve always found them to be effective. This Advance Night Repair Cream is supposed to help with dark circles in as little as two weeks! This one promises to smooth, brighten, and give your under-eye area a well-rested look, even if you’re like me and don’t get your full beauty sleep (thanks, Joe, for that late-night golf talk, lol). Packed with Hyaluronic Acid, it’s super hydrating, which is perfect for dry skin like mine.
Here’s another dark circle treatment, this time at a little bit cheaper price point. The ingredients of this include caffeine, rosewater & blueberry, which hydrates and cools the skin around the eyes for a fresh look. I like to keep mine in the fridge for extra coolness!
Highly Reviewed Eye Creams
Eva Naturals has a whole host of skincare products. Use this eye gel if you want to reduce the appearance of dark under-eye circles, puffiness, crowfeet, fine lines, eye bags, and sagging eyelids. Yes, please! The normal price is good and goes on sale quite a bit for even less. Fragrance-free is always a plus for me, too.
True confession: I stay up way too late most nights. There’s so much to do during the day, and I find myself staring at my computer screen into the wee hours. All of that lack of sleep has meant many a puffy-eyed morning! If you have your own issues with puffiness, this Puffy Eye Serum from Advanced Clinicals is for you. This formula includes plant-based collagen, caffeine, gotu kola, and peptides. Check out those reviews!
Eye Creams and Moisturizers that Everyone Seems To Love
Am I the only one that grew up with the Neutrogena gold bars? They were too much for my teenage pocketbook, but I knew they were the good stuff! The company has been around since 1930, and I’ve always associated them with high-quality skincare. I did laugh at the name of this – Rapid Wrinkle Repair. I mean, who wants SLOW wrinkle repair? Not this Gurl! Apparently, no one else does either because this product is beloved.
Next up is RoC Retinol Correxion Under Eye Cream for Dark Circles & Puffiness. I didn’t misspell it. The name is actually Correxion. I can tease about the name all I want, but their before and after pictures are pretty impressive. The price is very reasonable, and they have a ton of great reviews. The formula is gentle enough to wear every day, another plus!
Highly Reviewed Eye Creams That Won’t Break the Bank
This little gem is all about convenience and a quick pick-me-up. It’s got a cooling metal rollerball that feels like a mini spa treatment under your eyes—perfect for those mornings when you need a little help waking up (and trust me, I know the feeling, ha!). The formula includes natural hibiscus, which is said to brighten and refresh tired eyes, and ladies rave about the instant cooling effect. Plus, it’s lightweight, so it won’t leave you feeling greasy. I love that it’s travel-friendly, so you can toss it in your bag for a quick refresh whenever you need it!
Say hello to the StriVectin Hyaluronic Tripeptide Gel-Cream for Eyes! This one is packed with hyaluronic acid (yay for hydration!) and peptides, so it’s all about firming and plumping those under-eyes. It’s got this nice gel-cream texture that feels cooling and absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling refreshed and not weighed down. Users say they notice a difference in their fine lines and dark circles in just a few weeks! I also love that it’s fragrance-free, so if you’ve got sensitive skin like me, this won’t irritate it.
The Ultimate Affordable Eye Cream And Moisturizer
And finally, CeraVe. They ALWAYS knock it out of the park. This Eye Repair Cream has been reviewed a zillion times! You don’t always have to pay big bucks to get big results. This is a VERY affordable product. CeraVe has a ton of skincare products. I almost always have a jar or two on my counter.
Also, don’t forget that these types of items make great stocking stuffers. Let me know which of these you’ve tried or are putting in your cart!

I need ALL the eye creams!
Do you feel like the lid lifting treatment really works?
Sue, it seems to be working. But, honestly, I’ve been using good skincare for a while now, so it is harder to see results. I’m just trying to now go backwards at this point.
Just in time, I need new eye cream
Tania, I was looking for your lip repair and this post is about eye creme, which I really enjoyed! But my lips are so chapped because I tried a DIY treatment and I think I almost ruined my lips. Any suggestions?
Have a blessed day! Oh, I cannot wait to try your chili recipe, thank you!!
Yikes! You might want to try the Aquaphore Lip Repair since it is gentle on your lips. Here is the lip repair post: https://50isnotold.com/the-best-products-for-keeping-lips-from-being-chapped/
I will be making your chili recipe this week- it looks yummy!
Thank you for sharing items at various price points with us. I have noticed that I am now having puffiness under my eyes, but especially my left one, so I do need to start doing something about it. I took a picture of the chili to show Larry. I am one of the lucky ones whose system does not tolerate chili 😳, so I have to eat something else when he and the guys have it. I hope that you have a blessed day!
Thanks for the chili recipe. I’m going to share it. My grandkids love my mild chili. I don’t think they would like this recipe but my grown kids would. Actually it’s only my granddaughter that doesn’t like spicy. Her younger brother would probably like it.
You could always modify it to only use mild chili mix and switch out the tomatoes with chilis for regular ones.
Never thought about eye cream for stocking stuffers but such a great idea!
I will have to try applying my eye cream that way, interesting. I like RoC and Estée Lauder.
I use two products. The Rodan and Fields Redefine. And then later I top it off with Este Lauder Night Repair. These help with dark circles.
Thanks for the recommendation of using the 2 together.
I use the Cerave eye serum and I love it! Also Olay day and night eye cream. I’m going to look for that lid lifting one, thanks!
Wow who doesn’t need eye cream! Lots of options that I need! Ordering ASAP! Have a great day!
I love all your posts and have purchased many items from your suggestions!
I have a question. I just purchased Vera wang sweater knit pants from kohls and was wondering what would work best to pair the with. Maybe for a casual holiday look.
Thank you.
I ordered those pants, too. Here is the top I was going to pair with them. https://shopstyle.it/l/chbzV
Thank you so much … that is a great shirt. I’m ordering as we speak.
Thanks for all your great posts always.
Would you suggest black w/black pants. I do like the monochrome
I love black with black pants since it elongates the legs.
You are the best…thank you!
