No matter your age or skincare routine, a good eye cream is one of those products that has earned its spot in your medicine cabinet dopp kit. Why? Because the skin around your eyes is thinner and more delicate than the rest of your face, meaning it's often the first place to show signs of stress, fatigue or aging. But it's also the one place everyone looks at and notices when they talk to you. Want to look vibrant, youthful and well-rested? Then you can't sleep on your grooming routine.

However, most dermatologists say that a lot of men don't take care of the delicate skin around your eyes. According to Manhattan dermatologist Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, guys rarely complain about “looking old”. They worry about looking tired and dull. And nothing makes you look as unhealthy or rundown as dark, puffy or saggy eyes. Fine lines show up as a result of the skin losing elasticity due to both natural aging or regular UV damage. Obviously, a healthy lifestyle (along with regular sunscreen and some dark sunglasses) goes a long way in preventing damage to your skin. Dark circles can be caused by a slew of things: from lack of sleep to hyperpigmentation or vascular issues that expose the blood vessels behind the delicate skin of the under-eye area, causing them to look darker.

But, you can easily look a bit more awake during early morning meetings with the right eye cream or serum. And the good news is you don't have to drop serious cash to see results. There are standout options at every price point—some packed with high-tech ingredients and others that rely on proven natural extracts. We've rounded up the best eye creams for men, from multitasking powerhouses to no-fuss hydrators, all tested and reviewed to help you find the one that works best for your skin and your budget.
