Eye Cream
Look for a formula that addresses your primary undereye concern: Caffeine helps reduce puffiness; niacinamide and retinol smooth fine lines. The best treatment for pigment-related dark circles, though, is sunscreen, says Leslie Baumann, MD, author of

Great Bets: RoC Retinol Correxion Eye Cream ($22; drugstores); Philosophy Eye Hope Advanced Anti-Aging Eye Cream ($48;
Sephora.com ).
