The Formula: What's Inside and How to Use It

Kiehl's Avocado Eye Cream is both ophthalmologist- and dermatologist-tested for safety and efficacy. Formulated with avocado oil, a fatty-acid-rich emollient and natural source of amino acids, vitamins A, D, E, and potassium, it gently moisturizes the delicate eye area. The cream is also formulated with the antioxidant beta-carotene and shea butter—another natural fat celebrated for its ability to hydrate and soften the skin's surface.

Our Editor's Review: Jackie Burns Brisman Puts Kiehl's Avocado Eye Cream to the Test

Typically, I look for eye creams that help brighten my dark under-eye circles. But recently, the delicate skin under my eyes has become dry and flaky, so finding an eye cream that soothes, nourishes, and moisturizes my eye area is a must. When skin is dry it can cause wrinkles and fine lines to appear more pronounced, and as a 30-year-old who's just starting to see crow's feet creeping in, I wanted to find an eye cream to hydrate my skin, STAT. When I was sent a complimentary sample of Kiehl's Avocado Eye Cream, I couldn't wait to test it out. Ahead, check out my review to find out if eye cream saved my dry skin.

The first thing I noticed when I opened the jar was the incredibly thick, creamy texture. Most of my eye creams have had more of a gel or serum-like texture. The rich consistency made me feel confident that this eye cream would be a winner in the moisture department. I used my ring finger to take a small amount of the product and gently tapped it around each eye's orbital bone. A little goes a long way, so you won't need to use much. The product glided on smoothly, so I didn't have to tug or rub on the delicate skin. I appreciated that the cream didn't migrate or irritate my eyes, which is a problem I've had in the past.

Through continued use, I noticed that my under-eye area was more moisturized overall and didn't experience any dryness or flaking. What's more, the small jar actually lasted me a really long time. It never irritated my sensitive skin either. I can confidently say that this eye cream will remain in my routine and be my new go-to for under-eye hydration.
