Eye creams are big business. Probably because the delicate eye area is one of the first parts of the face to show fine lines, puffiness, and pigmentation (as well as, of course, bothersome dark circles). And while there are many eye treatments out there, each with various claims, it's tricky to find one that delivers on all these concerns.

For this reason, when Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair formulation (rarely is a formula so universally agreed among beauty insiders for its efficacy) was poured into a new, 'super-charged' eye cream that claimed to tackle all these concerns, we listened. We got excited. We got our hands on it ASAP. We slathered on. We repeated, and we waited. And within days, our beauty editor and resident eye cream aficionado was seeing results.

'As someone who suffers with extremely dark and puffy under-eyes, I'm always willing to try something new for that delicate area,' says beauty editor Fleur. 'The results I've had are remarkable - within days I've noticed a more rested-looking eye area, and a couple of weeks in my dark circles have reduced. A little really does go a long way, too, so it's excellent value for money.'

What to read next

High praise indeed. Like its sister Advanced Night Repair for face, it makes skin appear so much brighter and more rejuvenated. It's gentle enough for all skin types, and the gel-cream formula strikes just the right balance between being super hydrating, without feeling of sticky or heavy. It sits well under concealer, too, as it absorbs so easily.

Our conclusion? Anything containing the Advanced Night Repair formulation is sure to be a solid investment. You can shop the eye cream that has our beauty editor hooked, below.
