The best cream for crow's feet: Key takeaways


  • The skin around the eyes is delicate and tends to be one of the first areas to show signs of ageing. Crow's feet and fine lines can form as a result of environmental factors, loss of collagen in the skin, and repeated facial movements.
  • To combat the look of ageing skin around the eyes, look for targeted under-eye firming creams containing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, retinol, and peptides.
  • The best eye cream to reduce the look of fine lines will depend on your skin type and individual needs. Look for creams specifically formulated for your skin type, be it dry, oily, sensitive, or combination skin.
  • La Roche-Posay's range of eye creams provides targeted solutions for the appearance of eye wrinkles to suit all skin types and concerns.

What to look for in under-eye firming cream


The delicate area around the eyes is one of the first to show visible signs of ageing. Fine lines, crow's feet, puffiness, or dark circles are common signs that might appear. Each of these concerns can be targeted using a specifically formulated anti-ageing eye cream and serums.


There's not one best eye cream for fine lines – the most effective one for you will depend a lot on your skin type. However, the best eye creams for fine lines include key ingredients (also known as 'active' ingredients) that can help reduce the appearance of these first signs of ageing around the eye area. These include:


  • Hyaluronic Acid: draws moisture to the top layer of the skin, helping to smooth and improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, making it a great ingredient in under-eye firming creams.
  • Retinol: a powerful anti-ageing ingredient used in many eye creams, it helps support natural cell renewal which can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles like crow's feet.
  • Peptides: formulas with peptides can help to improve the feel of skin firmness and helping reduce the appearance of wrinkles for a more youthful-looking eye area.
