The 16 Best Clean, Natural & Organic Eye Creams Of 2023

This natural, organic blend uses the best that nature has to offer for skin. The base is mango seed butter (high in vitamin c, which supports collagen), rosehip seed oil, and evening primrose oil. But then it’s topped with several unique, active extracts. For example there’s maple leaf extract, which has been shown to halt the breakdown of elastin in the skin. It also contains collagen-boosting sumac berry and bakuchiol. All around, a star natural formula.

Not only does this cream contain the ultra-hydrating plant-derived squalane (what the brand is best known for), but it contains a strain of pink marine algae. Algae is a super player in the game of healthy aging as it's been shown to reduce fine lines, lift skin, and protect against photogaing. Use it on under eye wrinkles, crow's feet, as well as the brow bone to provide a lifting affect. 

A lightweight, fast absorbing eye cream that lifts, firms, and awakens tired eyes. Great for both night and day (it plays well under makeup), this formula is sure to become a staple in your skin care routine. It uses a triple peptide blend to firm and smooth fine lines, caffeine to de-puff and brighten, as well as plant extracts to hydrate. 

This brightening eye cream uses a combination of ginseng, vitamin C, niacinamide and caffeine to fade dark circles and depuff under eye bags. We love that it comes in two shades for varying skin tones, and that its packaging is made from 97% post-consumer recycled content.

Stick formulas are increasingly popular (for good reason: They're easy, on-the-go, and often waterless). However, they're notably smart for the eye area, as they're the perfect size to swipe on with ease. This one is particularly fun: Not only does it have caffeine, but it's packed with aloe vera, watermelon, and blueberry extract to pack in the hydration and antioxidant protection. 

When your skin thins over time due to a lack of collagen and elastin, it takes on a tissue-paper-like quality. To help skin get back a thicker, more robust quality, this cream uses an algae extract and peptide blend, both of which can support and encourage collagen and elastin production.

This fun hybrid product acts something like a glossy shadow and treatment all in one. It contains hyaluronic acid for moisture and a shot of caffeine to help reduce puffiness and dark circles. The velvety texture helps prep skin for concealer and eye makeup if you so choose, so it's something like an eye primer. Or you can wear it alone and let the light-reflecting pigments work their magic, giving the appearance of wide-awake skin—and in which case, it's perfect for those wanting to achieve the coveted glass skin look.

Because the skin around the eyes is so thin, it's prone to dryness. If you find you have naturally dry skin, derms often recommend using a hyaluronic acid serum or cream to boost moisture levels, as it draws in and holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Drier skin also tends to be easily irritated skin (do you ever get itchy red areas around the eyes?), so this smartly folds in chamomile and calendula, two botanicals known for their anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.

If you are constantly complaining that your eyes look "tired," this one's for you. No, caffeine doesn't magically make your skin more awake in the same way it does your body when you drink it, but it does make it look more awake. Caffeine constricts the blood vessels just under the skin when applied topically. This helps tackle the two most prominent signs of a sleepless night: dark circle and puffiness.

An Ayurvedic blend that defends against dark circles and the appearance of fine lines—telltale signs of a bad night’s rest. It does so with antioxidant-rich Neem oil along with niacinamide. Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that has equal parts brightening and hydrating powers. 

This ultra-luxe eye cream is for people who have moderate to deep pigmentation around the eyes. (Of course, even mild eye circles can use it, too.) The main active is vitamin K, an ingredient known to help build your skin barrier function, reduce blue and purple discoloration caused by visible blood vessels, and minimize redness. How does this come into play with your delicate eye area? Well, the dark "shadows" people complain about are actually just blood vessels peeking through the area's thin skin. This helps reduce that at the cellular level, not just cover it up. But it does that, too: It also contains mica and silica to reflect light, bringing luminosity to the area. 

This derm-formulated cream combines a combo of clean and natural botanicals to deliver a de-puffing and brightening combo. Notably there’s soy peptides for smoothing, rice bran extract for antioxidants, organic red tea for caffeine, and arnica, an herb famous for its de-swelling properties.

The eye area is notably sensitive—it’s your thinnest skin on the face after all. So if you have sensitive skin naturally, it’s even more vital for you to be careful with this product. BeautyCounter’s smart, clean formulas are opthamologist tested, and safe for contact wearers. But just because it’s sensitive skin safe, doesn’t mean it’s boring: This contains squalane and softening shea butter.

If you experience extreme puffiness in the morning, this one's for you. This comes with a cool metal ball that rolls on the product (think of it like the daily facial rolling routine you know you should get into but just can't find the time in the mornings). But it's not just the handy applicator that makes this a favorite; it's loaded with good-for-you actives: hibiscus, ice wine extract, caffeine, botanical peptides, and green algae all work together to aid the skin's overall health.
