The Best Eye Creams Ever

Here's my list of the best eye creams ever, so far! Feel free to weigh in on your favorites. This list is actually comprised of three separate lists:
1) The Beauty Insider's Picks: My own personal list of the best products in that category, in no particular order
2) The Popular Vote: The results of a poll I did of over 1000 beauty-savvy consumers, in order of popularity
3) What the Pros Chose: These are the top picks of the beauty experts who appear in my book, also known as The Beauty Bunch. (You can learn more about this genius team of experts by clicking on the About the Book tab, and then clicking on "Who are the Beauty Insiders?").

The Beauty Insider’s Picks
1. La Mer Eye Balm: Rich, luxurious, soothing, and intensely hydrating, this will cure whatever ails your eyes. One precious dab zaps dry lines while diffusing light to create a youthful glow. $120
2. Clarins Skin-Smoothing Eye Mask: While this isn’t technically an eye cream, it doubles as one. The light, creamy, fragrance-free formula smooths on to hydrate, depuff, and generally beautify tired eyes. Five minutes later, you’re supposed to wipe off the excess, but with my thirsty skin, there’s never any. $41.50
3. La Prairie Cellular Moisturizer Eye with SPF 15: The whipped texture of this antioxidant-packed formula absorbs instantly, leaving a velvety, greaseless finish. That, and the SPF, make it perfect for daytime. $125
4. Ole Henriksen Ultimate Lift Eye Gel: This refreshing, uplifting eye gel is a perfect wake-up call for tired eyes. It instantly firms, tightens, and revitalizes with aloe vera, cucumber, and calendula. $38
5. Sebastian Trucco 3 Wishes Eye Moisturizer/Firmer/Light Diffuser: Moisturizers, antioxidants, and vitamins hydrate tired skin and ease fine lines, while gold optical diffusers makes dark circles seem less so. $20 (approx.)
6. Juvena Perfect A Pure Eye: Hygienic, single-use capsules dispense this hydrating, line-lifting nighttime formula that is designed to repair the delicate eye area while you sleep. $52
7. Lancome Renergie Anti-Wrinkle and Firming Eye Cream: This delicate cream boasts hydrating agents to soothe wrinkles and plant extracts for firmness. $50
8. Yon-Ka Phyto-Contour Eye Cream: This cream is designed to combat dark circles and puffiness, and it really does the trick. It also helps erase fine lines and milia, those annoying, tiny pimple-like dots that form under eyes. $39
9. Enessa Rose Oil Anti-Wrinkle Treatment: I think oils are so luxurious, but with my oily skin, I don’t often get the pleasure. This heavenly-scented, soothing eye treatment eases fine lines naturally and absorbs quickly. $49
10. Osmotics Anti-Oxidant Skincare Derms: I don’t know how these work, but they do. These patches fit perfectly under eyes (or any other age-prone area of your face), and, overnight, deliver concentrated, restorative, healing vitamin C directly where you need it most. $125
