9 Best Eye Lift Creams for Hooded Eyes to Transform Sagging Lids

Covering (or drooping) of the eyelids is extremely common. As board-certified dermatologist Blair Murphy-Ross, MD, founder of Ross Dermatology and Laser Centers, explains, everyone’s eyelids naturally droop over time. As we age, our collagen levels decrease, the skin becomes thinner and less firm, the muscles that support the eyelids weaken, and sometimes the fat pads around the eyes begin to move downward.

Dr. Murphy-Ross explains that genetics also play a role in hooded eyes, as some people may be predisposed to developing this type of eyelids, and you may also need to consider daily habits such as excessive sun exposure, smoking, allergies and chronic rubbing of the eye area. In short, there is nothing wrong with droopy eyelids. But if you’re like me, someone who always looks tired and has a little misty eyes, then an eye cream that helps me cover up the lack of sleep I didn’t get the night before and makes me look a little more refreshed is always welcome.

It’s important to note: eye creams don’t work miracles. They won’t significantly tighten or change your overall appearance. For this, you’ll want to look into more intense in-office treatments. These products are all about the art of subtle lifting; behold, nine of the best below.
