What cream is good for irritated eyes?

I don't know about you, but right now my under eyes could rival a zombie's (think, dark circles, puffy eye bags and dehydration lines creeping up around the edges). That's why I've been on a mission to find the best eye creams and serums — because I want to wake up looking like I've had 10 hours sleep, and not spent half the night watching Grey's Anatomy reruns.

If all of the above sounds familiar, I may be able to help. Yup, I've been busy testing out some of the industry's top rated eye creams and serums, including Drunk Elephant's C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream, which is perfect if you're looking to avoid any harsh ingredients, but still want to see effective results. The formula is free from essential oils, drying alcohols, silicones, fragrance and SLS. It contains five forms of vitamin C and cucumber extract, all of which brighten and firm the skin around the eyes.

Or there is CeraVe's Eye Repair Cream, which has built up a cult following across the internet thanks to it's budget-friendly formula. It's packed with hyaluronic acid and ceramides, making it perfect for sensitive eyes prone to dryness, and for just £8.25, it won't make too much of a dent in your wallet. Then, there's Clarins' Double Eye Serum. An eye formula inspired by the brand's bestselling Double Serum, this formula actually protects the eye area against skin-damaging factors such as pollution and blue light.

Finally, if you're looking for an eye cream that goes a little extra, it's worth picking up Vichy's LiftActiv Supreme Serum Eyes & Lashes. The lightweight formula works a little like a lash growth serum, containing eyelash-fortifying properties which will help hydrate and strengthen both the skin and lashes, for a fuller, healthy-looking flutter.

These are 20 of the very best under-eye creams and serums on the internet, with hard-working formulas that will refresh and restore ASAP.
