If you’ve been on the hunt for an eye cream that actually delivers on its promises, Solawave’s new caffeine- and collagen-infused eye cream might just be your new skin care secret weapon. After weeks of testing, I can confidently say this eye cream stands out from the crowd. As an editor with a deep, critical love for eye creams, often buying my own because I find it such a beauty essential, this is the best eye cream I’ve tested in years on the job—and that’s been many years, BTW.

When I heard about Solawave’s new launch, I was so excited. I’m quick and eager to try new eye creams, given my dark under-eye circles are not only genetic, but made entirely worse by my seasonal allergies. What’s more, I’ve been frustrated with formulas that don’t even provide an ounce of hydration or lasting benefits. Our eyes are the first place we start to see visible signs of aging so in my opinion, a good eye cream should feel like a traditional cream product and show both instant and long lasting results with usage. Solawaves does that.

One of the standout features of this eye cream is its texture. It’s lightweight yet luxurious, absorbing quickly into the skin without leaving any greasy residue. It feels like a traditional eye cream your mom would pick up from the Lancóme counter back in the day—you know, the really good stuff. The cooling sensation upon application is incredibly refreshing, making it the perfect pick-me-up for early mornings or long days when your eyes need a little extra love. Plus, it’s gentle enough to use both in the morning and at night—ideal for those who need around-the-clock relief from puffiness or tired-looking eyes. It’s been an essential for me during the busy holiday season thus far given all the long days at work, nights filled with holiday parties, and weekends packed with travel to see family.

We’ve all used eye creams that promise immediate results, but Solawave’s formula truly delivers. After just a few days of consistent use, I was able to notice visible improvements in the puffiness around my eyes, with my skin appearing more firm and toned. Dark circles, which tend to be a persistent concern of mine, were lighter and my concealer went on noticeably smoother. But even just with one use, a quick look in the mirror told me everything I needed to know. My eyes actually looked more lifted and awake.

The results only get better with continued use, similar to Solawave’s hero product, 4-in-1 red light therapy skin care wand, which, by the way, is one of Jennifer Coolidge's favorite skin care tools. She touts how this tiny-but-mighty tool does all your anti-aging work for you with the help of red light therapy and vibration.

If you haven’t gathered already, the Lightboost Eye Cream is super versatile in what it can deliver for your under-eyes. Whether you have dry, puffy skin under your eyes, dark circles that never seem to disappear, or just need something to revitalize tired eyes, Solawave’s caffeine-infused eye cream addresses it all. It’s the perfect skin care gift for yourself as well as any other beauty aficionados in your life.
