Farber says to look out for eye creams that contain peptides, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin. "Peptides are a great collagen stimulator," says the derm, who adds they are a good alternative to retinol, which "can be drying around the eyes."

"Hyaluronic acid helps to hold water, while ceramides and glycerin protect the skin barrier to retain moisture." In addition, she notes, "Antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E are great for brightening but may cause sensitivity in very sensitive skin." Last, the derm recommends caffeine, which she says is "great for dark circles and puffiness."
