Olivia Wilde, 40, loves CeraVe, and its bestselling eye cream is currently on sale for $14
'Gentle and simple': A celeb- and derm-approved brand that battles fine lines? There's a reason for the nearly 42,000 5-star reviews.
Olivia Wilde has made CeraVe one of her go-to drugstore beauty products and it's definitely having a moment. Widely celebrated by dermatologists, beauty editors and skin-care enthusiasts, one of its fan-favorite products is the No. 1 bestselling CeraVe eye repair cream. It's formulated to reduce dryness, the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. It's also fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic. Right now, you can get all of that for just $14, down from $20 at Amazon.
This cream contains three restorative ceramides, moisturizing hyaluronic acid and soothing niacinamide to combat dryness and reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness.
Why is this a good deal? 💰
CeraVe is one of those tried-and-true gems, and at $14, you can help turn back the hands of time without having to fork over hundreds for costly in-office treatments or intensive facials and peels. It's even on our list of best eye creams of 2024, so you know it's good!
Why do I need this? 🤔
When celebrities like Olivia Wilde rave about a beauty brand, we're all ears. "I use the cheapest possible skin care — not because it's cheap, but because it's the best," Olivia Wilde has said. "Dermatologists have recommended it for years and I've never paid attention. But recently I started using Cetaphil cleanser and CeraVe moisturizer. They're gentle and simple."
This eye treatment is no exception to the brand's popularity. One formerly puffy-eyed fan said: "I swear this stuff has taken five years off my face. ... It's absolute magic!"
We're not sure if there's magic involved, but don't overlook the ingredients: Three restorative ceramides, moisturizing hyaluronic acid and soothing niacinamide work together to combat dryness and reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. We also love what it doesn't contain: The eye cream is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic, which means it won't clog pores.
What reviewers say 💬
Shoppers swear their eyes look brighter and younger after using this product. Nearly 42,000 reviewers have given it a five-star rating.
Pros 👍
One shopper came to it via an ophthalmologist: "This eye cream was recommended to me by my eye doctor because I have very sensitive skin around my eyes that burns and peels. I have tried all the expensive department store brands and nothing helped. CeraVe was a miracle! It is very soothing and moisturizing. Makes the skin under my eyes smooth and supple again."
A second reviewer called it "Botox in a cream." Another reported: "This is the greatest product ever! I have such dark circles from stress, work and lack of sleep. After using this cream, as directed for five days, the dark circles started fading in a few days. Completely gone after one week. I'm telling everyone about this miracle cream. This worked so well. I can't tell you how pleased I am with this. I look five years younger now!"
"I've been cursed with dark circles that look like I have black eyes," said another grateful shopper. "The doctors tell me it is because of very thin skin and can't be helped, but I like CeraVe products and gave this cream a try ... It is moisturizing but, amazingly, I have noticed a difference in the very dark circles I have. I am very surprised to say that I actually do see improvement. I'll never be free of them, but this cream is well worth it to me. It's certainly worth trying. You might be as pleasantly surprised as I am."
Cons 👎
Some shoppers have a few tips. One reviewer warned: "If you have sensitive skin or eyes, it will irritate and burn a little."
"The bottle is kind of small so it might run out fastish if you use it twice a day like me," revealed this user. "But I do think it is reasonable for its price." This shopper agreed that size matters: "It’s moisturizing, no scent, easy to blend out evenly. The only complaint is, it's a small package so it will be used fast."
Tone down dark circles, puffiness and dryness with this little tube of cream.
