The skin around the eye is the thinnest and most sensitive skin on your face. Therefore, it needs a little extra attention to stay nourished and free of irritation. For some, that means simply ensuring your moisturizer reaches those nooks and crannies. But for most of us, eye cream is an absolute must. And though there are options upon options to choose from, K-beauty eye creams are in the upper echelon of products with top-rated reviews and affordable prices.
K-beauty skincare is responsible for introducing stateside beauty enthusiasts to unconventional, but highly effective ingredients like my personal favorite: snail mucin. Whether we swear by a multi-step routine or prefer the “less is more” approach, there’s a K-beauty find with the potential to become a tried-and-true fave you can’t go without. And should you be on the hunt for a new eye cream, I guarantee at least one of these options will cause a double-take.
Unlike most eye creams that typically have vitamin C and/or retinol in their formulas, these picks are enriched with ingredients you likely didn’t know could brighten and hydrate just as well (and in some cases, better). Keep scrolling for a closer look at each one.
