The selfies always give it away. Whether you’ve skimped on your eight hours of sleep and stayed up all night, spent too much time in the sun, or sobbed though one of the latest movies, your eyes tell the world what exactly you’ve been doing. We’ve rounded up the dreamiest eye creams that give you the results that you (and your selfies) deserve.

When the bags under your eyes *aren’t* Gucci:

Caffeine doesn’t just wake up your mind, it works wonders on the skin too. If you have some seriously puffy eyes, look for eye creams that contain this miracle ingredient. Caffeine constricts blood vessels and relieves water retention making you look like you’ve slept like a baby all week long.

The Inkey List’s Caffeine Eye Cream (Dhs43, Sephora) is a lightweight eye cream packed with caffeine and other ingredients, like hydrating squalane, to make your undereye area look perky and smooth. This eye cream doubles as an undereye primer for flawless makeup application.

When your dark circles are bigger than your friends circle:

Spend too many hours gaming? Dark circles can put a serious damper on your appearance. We could tell you to get more sleep and stay off the screens, but if that’s not realistic, the next best thing is to use the right ingredients to combat dark circles.

This Works Morning Expert Open Eyes Eye Treatment (Dhs195, Watsons) contains Persian Silk Tree bark extract. This ingredient minimizes pigment accumulation and reduces the appearance of dark circles. We love this eye cream because it also contains cocoa seed peptides to minimise the effects of blue light on your skin. You may not be able to pry yourself away from the screens, but you can protect your under eye area from looking drained.

When it’s time to erase the fine lines:

If you notice fine lines around your eyes, it’s time to treat your skin to a skin-replenishing drink packed with all the right ingredients. Hydrating hyaluronic acid and moisturising ceramides should be at the top of your list to combat crinkles and wrinkles. 

Paula’s Choice Clinical Ceramide-Enriched Eye Cream (Dhs219, Cult Beauty) contains a blend of ceramides to smooth out and reduce fine lines. To pack an extra eye rejuvenating punch, this eye cream also contains skin-renewing retinol and brightening vitamin C. Just make sure you *only* use it at night.

When you’re having a dull moment:

Tired skin is unhappy skin. It looks dull and you look drained. To brighten the under eye area (and make you look…alive) vitamin C is a must-have ingredient in your eye cream.

Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Cream (Dhs165, Sephora) is packed with vitamin C to deliver some serious under eye brightening action. It also has a colour-correcting pale yellow tint to mask dull skin and give an illuminating effect. This eye cream doubles a priming base to prep the under eye area for concealer application.Â
