Puffiness and dark circles (along with consistent use) have nothing on these nourishing formulas.
Ah, the annual Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is back in our lives and we couldn’t be more excited. This year, we’re looking forward to some of our favorite brands being discounted like Supergoop, La Mer, and even Dyson hair tools.
That said, we’ll be stocking up on the categories that we find ourselves running low on more often than others like eye creams. Lucky for us, the 2023 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is stocked with eye creams that target all concerns like dark circles, puffiness, and even restless nights. (We’ve all been there.) Below, we pulled our favorite eye creams to shop before the sale ends on August 6.
Best Overall: Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado Home & Away Set
Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado is a beloved eye cream that you’ve probably spotted in at least one medicine cabinet in your lifetime. And for good reason — this rich avocado oil-based formula nourishes under eyes while still being gentle enough that it won’t irritate the area’s fragile skin. This Nordstrom-exclusive set comes with a full- and travel-size jar for just $2 more than the price of one regular unit.
Best Vitamin C Eye Cream: Arcona Eye Dew Plus Corrective Eye Serum Duo
Although Arcona’s Eye Dew Plus Corrective Eye Serum is packed with actives that tackle fine lines and loss of elasticity, its eye-brightening benefits can’t be ignored. The combination of hydrating ceramides and refreshing vitamin C kicks dark circles to the curb for a refreshed look. Save $67 on a two-pack during this Nordstrom sale and let this corrective serum work its magic.
Best for Mature Eyes: Kate Somerville Kateceuticals Lifting Eye Cream
Peptides are the star of Kate Somerville’s Kateceuticals Lifting Eye Cream. Its triple-peptide complex restores firmness to the eye area, which helps smooth crow’s feet and fine lines and softens their appearance. The supporting cast of ingredients is also top-notch — brightening vitamin C, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and soothing cucumber extract — to name a few.
Best Refillable Eye Cream: Charlotte Tilbury Magic Eye Rescue Forever Set
If you love Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream Moisturizer — or Charlotte Tilbury in general — Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is your chance to get your hands on the matching eye cream. The Magic Eye Rescue Forever Set comes with a full-size jar of the restorative eye cream with retinol, and a refill pod for when you inevitably decide you can’t live without it.
Best for Smoothing Fine Lines: Bobbi Brown Extra Repair Skin Care Set
We love a TSA-approved beauty product here at Allure and this kit from Bobbi Brown is a frequent flyer’s dream. Sail through security with this 0.51-ounce jar of Bobbi Brown’s Extra Repair Eye Cream Intense and 1.69-ounce jar of Extra Repair Moisture Cream Intense in your carry-on luggage — both of which are spiked with argireline peptide to boost collagen production and minimize the look of fine lines and puffiness.
Best Illuminating Eye Cream: Saturday Skin Wide Awake Brightening Eye Cream
Saturday Skin is a K-beauty brand that is centered on self-care — and makes it fun and colorful. Case in point? This millennial pink pump bottle of the Wide Awake Brightening Eye Cream instantly plumps your under eyes and improves the look of dark circles over time, thanks to a concoction of antioxidant-rich date seed extract and hydrating avocado protein and hyaluronic acid.
Best Travel-Friendly Eye Cream: Hawthorne Brightening Eye Cream
If you’re familiar with the art of color-correcting, you’ll know that yellow cancels out dullness. That’s precisely why Hawthorne’s Brightening Eye Cream has a sunny hue to illuminate the undereye area. Ingredients-wise, caffeine, cucumber, and peptides depuff and reduce swelling, while vitamin C protects the delicate area from free radicals. The best part? You can literally toss this 0.34-ounce tube in any bag for a boost whenever you need it.
