A FEW NEW EYE CREAMS I’M REALLY INTO NOW WITH FARMACY, FIRST AID BEAUTY AND MORE!
I did all kinds of normalish things this week. I kinda needed a stress-free, no-surprises kind of week after last Friday’s trip to the vet and Orpheus’ weekend recovery from dental surgery. He’s all good now, albeit fangless!
My copywriting work really escalated this past week, with the addition of two new clients — one skincare brand, one fashion brand. And, I relaunched my company website, which you can check out here!
Copywriting for fashion brands is always weird as they’re not usually experienced in working with a copywriter. I did a six-month stint at Juicy Couture several years ago and it was one of the oddest gigs I’ve had in my entire copywriting career. Getting any kind of collaboration out of the not-so-juicy marketers was like pulling teeth. (Make that fangs!) And, all I really wanted to do was write cool Juicy taglines that would make it to the backsides of the brands’ sweatpants! Regrettably, the work was no where near as exciting as that.
So fashion is weird to me. Unlike beauty, of course, where marketers are super collaborative and constantly in need of someone to name products and write packaging copy — my favorite work as a writer. Who doesn’t love to name things? Getting paid for that is even cooler.
So, normal the week was. Lots of work, lots of productivity. Yoga, cooking dinners, mindless television. And by mindless, I’m talking stuff like Love Island. They’re not even on an island; they’re in Las Vegas. TV doesn’t get more inane.
I got off the couch and took a walk to the Brooklyn Navy Yard on Saturday to grab a bagel, lox and cream cheese from Russ & Daughter, the iconic Jewish deli from the City. Speaking of naming, that one is pretty intriguing, right? I found this interesting tidbit on the company’s website:
In 1907, Joel Russ immigrated from the shtetl of Strzyzow, now part of modern day Poland. He got his start selling schmaltz herring out of a barrel to the throngs of Eastern European Jews on the Lower East Side. It took him seven years to work his way up from that first herring barrel to having a pushcart operation, a horse and wagon, and then, in 1914, a brick and mortar store. The original store was on Orchard Street. In 1920, he moved the store around the corner to 179 East Houston Street, where it has been ever since.
Having no sons, Joel Russ required his three lovely daughters — Hattie, Ida, and Anne — to work in the store from the time they were teenagers. In 1935, he made his daughters full partners and changed the name to Russ & Daughters, a bold and controversial move. Russ & Daughters is the first business in the United States to have “& Daughters” in its name. The daughters married men who also joined the business.
Gosh, I had no idea. I love that almost as much as I love their bagel “schmears”!
The skincare stuff starts here.
I’ve often questioned the need for a separate eye cream; that is, a treatment allegedly and specifically formulated for the eye area — rather than simply using a facial moisturizer around the eyes. Two years ago, I published an article titled, Skincare 101: Do We Even Need a Separate Eye Cream? which is still available to read here.
So, do I need an eye cream?
The answer is yes, no, and maybe. It really depends on what you need an eye cream for. If you simply want to moisturize and hydrate the eye area, you’re good with a gentle facial moisturizer. If you have a concern for dark circles and puffiness, you may want to look for an eye treatment that addresses those issues.
There’s actually a cool piece on the online beauty site, Byrdie titled, Do I REALLY Need to Use Eye Cream? In it, the author seeks out a pair of designated experts — though my most trusted source is always my skincare muse Paula Begoun.
With an abundance of products available to us these days, it’s hard to decipher the necessary from the nice-to-have. Despite so many new types of products launching all the time—essences, sheet masks, and boosters—it’s a classic product that we beauty editors still get asked about time and time again: eye cream.
One question that always comes up: “Is eye cream a must-have in my skincare routine?”
While team Byrdie avidly (and gently) tap eye cream on every day, we put this question to two skincare experts.
The two experts Byrdie sought out were a founder of a medispa in London and an aesthetic doctor who focuses on skin health and anti-aging.
Tariq Karim, founder of Santi Medispa explains, “Creams are designed specifically to suit their purpose. For the face, the consistency and texture will be different than for the eye. The skin tissue around the eye is at its thinnest, [so you] cannot have too many active ingredients. In fact, some leading eye creams are tested by ophthalmologists.”
A relatively gentle face cream would certainly suffice around the eyes if all you’re concerned with is dryness and dehydration. That was the long-time position of Paula Begoun, who had resisted introducing an eye cream in her namesake brand for that exact reason.
In fact, until three years ago, Paula’s Choice offered a total of zero eye creams. Today, there are four, including one of my all-time favorites — the Omega+ Complex Eye Cream, which I reviewed on my blog here.
Somewhat ironically, one of the best face creams that easily doubles as a moisturizer and eye cream is the Paula’s Choice Omega+ Complex Moisturizer; it’s simply one of the best anti-aging creams for face. I consider any moisturizer that effectively treats dryness and dehydration to be “anti-aging,” as these are among the most common causes of skin aging.
The Paula’s Choice Omega+ Complex Moisturizer is loaded with nourishing fatty acids and non-fragrant plant oils and devoid of anything particularly active — like robust vitamins and acids. If your eye area is sensitive, or you simply need to replenish moisture, I say go for it!
As with the skin on the rest of the face, the eye area is unique to each of us. Some can handle more potent actives like Vitamin C and Niacinamide in the eye area. Personally, I like using treatments formulated with peptides in my eye area to plump up the skin and diminish the appearance of fine lines.
Of course, nothing matters — not the best antioxidant serums, best brightening eye creams, best anti-aging eye creams or best face creams — if you’re not using a sunscreen around your eyes.
For the longest time, my personal favorite has been the SkinCeuticals Physical Matte UV Defense SPF 50 — one of the best eye creams with SPF I’ve ever used. The Physical Eye UV Defense SPF 50 contains a 100% mineral sunscreen complex, a slight color-correcting tint, and nourishing ceramides — exactly what I need and want around my eyes.
Last year, I discovered an even better formula, the Supergoop! Bright-Eyed 100% Mineral Eye Cream SPF 40 which I reviewed on my blog here.
And, as I shared just last week in my article titled, New Sunscreens I'm Crushing on for Fall - Best Mineral Sunscreens for Face from Farmacy, Purito and More!, a new favorite sunscreen for around my eyes is the MDSolarSciences Mineral Tinted Sunscreen Stick SPF 30. It has a nice hint of tint that helps conceal dark circles.
So, let’s take a look at a few new eye creams I’m really into now — from Farmacy, First Aid Beauty, StriVectin and Sobel Skin Rx.
First Aid Beauty | Eye Duty Niacinamide Brightening Eye Cream:
I’ve reviewed multiple products from First Aid Beauty on the blog, and published an entire brand review titled, Brands I Love: First Aid Beauty and the Best Facial Skincare For Sensitive Skin. If you’re unfamiliar with the brand’s clean facial skincare for sensitive and irritated skin, get acquainted with FAB! Hands down, First Aid Beauty offers some of the best face creams for sensitive skin.
First Aid Beauty was founded in 2009 by Lilli Gordon, a mother, grandmother, and entrepreneur with a background in beauty who, like so many, struggled with sensitive skin.
All of the brand’s products are formulated to calm inflamed skin, prevent irritation — and deliver nothing that could antagonize the skin, particularly sensitive skin.
FAB uses tried-and-true, soothing ingredients like Colloidal Oatmeal, Oat Kernel Extract, Shea Butter, Feverfew Extract, even honey, at active levels. And nary a drop of denatured alcohol, fragrance or fragrant plant oils. I love that about First Aid Beauty and it’s one of the reasons that I trust them to offer some of the best skincare for sensitive skin.
So sure I was pumped about the brand’s newest eye treatment, the Eye Duty Niacinamide Brightening Eye Cream. As expected, it’s a clean, well-formulated and gentle treatment for around the eyes. But, it’s quite unexpected, too.
The first thing you notice about Eye Duty is its strikingly iridescent orangish hue. If it weren’t in a tiny 15mL pot labeled eye cream, I’d have no idea what it is. Maybe a primer, a concealer, a tone corrector?
FAB says it’s “an illuminating eye cream that visibly brightens, hydrates, and smooths the eye area while helping to reduce the appearance of dark circles over time.”
It’s a rather extensive INCI for an eye cream and I’m going to estimate that Eye Duty contains a concentration of 5% Niacinamide, a healthy dose of the antioxidant power brightener. The inclusion of a truly active level of antioxidant Niacinamide is perhaps my favorite thing about Eye Duty.
What is Niacinamide?
From the experts on the Paula’s Choice Research Team:
“Also known as vitamin B3 and nicotinic acid, niacinamide is a very effective skin-restoring ingredient that offers multiple benefits for aging and blemish-prone skin. Among these benefits is the ability to visibly improve the appearance of enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, fine lines, dullness, and a weakened skin surface.
Niacinamide can also mitigate and to some extent help visibly repair damage from UV light and offset other sources of environmental attack, including the negative impact of various types of airborne pollutants. Unlike many beneficial ingredients, niacinamide is stable in the presence of heat and light.”
In addition to Niacinamide, there are several other actives and inert ingredients that help to illuminate the eye area and diminish the look of dark circles. Among them, mica, Caffeine, Coffee Seed Extract and Licorice Root Extract — an effective brightening agent common to A-beauty formulas. Licorice Root also happens to be one of the more popular ingredients in traditional Korean Hanbang herbal medicine.
If you’re not familiar with Hanbang herbs and the philosophy being it, check out this terrific article titled, What Is Hanbang & Why You Need It in Your Skincare Routine.
If you’re in the market for a clean eye cream to help brighten dull skin around the eyes and to help treat dark circles, the Eye Duty Niacinamide Brightening Eye Cream is an excellent option. Of course, nothing addresses dark circles like drinking more water, getting more sleep — and using a well-formulated sunscreen in the immediate eye area.

Sobel Skin Rx | Oligo Peptide Eye Cream
I’ve really enjoyed everything I’ve tried from the new cosmeceutical brand, Sobel Skin Rx. NYC dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Howard Sobel recently launched his new dermatology inspired brand of “activated cosmeceuticals.” Sobel Skin Rx is a collection of eight clean skincare products formulated with highly concentrated levels of actives to really amp up your skincare game.
“Sobel Skin Rx is all about the active ingredients. You’ll find them at the very top of all of our ingredient lists, so you know that the product you’re getting is the real deal and not just hype.” -Dr. Howard Sobel
In fact, I did a deep dive into the brand in a recent blog article titled, Dermatologist Skincare Brand Sobel Skin Rx - Some of the Best Anti-Aging Face Products for Healthy, Youthful Skin — which you can read here.
The Sobel Skin Rx Oligo Peptide Eye Cream is a gentle, deeply moisturizing anti-aging eye treatment made with an abundance of non-fragrant plant oils that nourish and replenish dry skin around the eyes.
To start, it’s on the thicker side, making it ideal for effectively treating dryness — and putting it up there as one of the best anti-aging eye creams for dry skin. Indeed, it’s that good. But it’s also one of the pricier options for an eye cream at $65.
Here’s the thing — and this goes for all skin care — if you’re going to pay a premium, it had better be a damn good formula. By contrast, La Mer’s $235 The Eye Concentrate contains more than 100 ingredients, many of them nonsensical and several of them skin irritants, including fragrance. Really. Fragrance in the eye area?! And, quite remarkably, it’s in a jar which means any of its beneficial actives like antioxidants will begin to degrade as soon as you open the lid. After 30 days, what you have a left is a basic moisturizing eye cream for $235. #genius
The Oligo Peptide Eye Cream is housed in an airless pump and packed with anti-aging actives, including skin-replenishing Ceramide III and four plumping peptides — Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Dipeptide-2 and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5. (Psst…there’s nary a peptide or a ceramide in that La Mer eye mess!)
Notably, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 is considered among the better anti-aging actives for the skin — and is designated by the experts on the Paula’s Choice Research Team as one of the best ingredients for skin care.
Synthetic peptide that's part of Matrixyl 3000, which also contains palmitoyl oligopeptide, and is believed to work as a skin-restoring ingredient with anti-aging benefits.
This peptide is composed of four amino acids plus fatty acid palmitic acid to enhance stability and penetration into the skin. Peptides have different functions on skin, and this particular peptide, on its own or as part of Matrixyl 3000, helps to replenish skin's surface and calm visible signs of sensitization.
The use of peptides in skin care formulas has grown increasingly popular in the last couple of years. But what are they and what do they do for the skin?
What are peptides in skincare?
Of course, there’s a superbly insightful article on the Paula’s Choice website from the experts on the Paula’s Choice Research Team. Titled What Are Peptides and What Do They Do for Your Skin?, the article goes deep into everything from what peptides are to how they benefit the skin — and what makes them among the best age-fighters in skin care.
Peptides are one of the most talked-about ingredients in the field of anti-ageing skincare. When applied to your skin, they demonstrate remarkable benefits, revitalising your skin and making it more resilient and stronger. But peptides do not possess magical properties, as some brands claim. The fact is that there is no single ingredient that will address all the signs of skin ageing - and peptides are no exception. Peptides are a great asset to your skin, but it’s best to be realistic in your expectations to avoid disappointment. Peptides have amazing benefits for skin but the results will never be the same as a cosmetic procedure.
What are Peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as building blocks of proteins such as collagen, elastin and keratin. These proteins are the foundations of your skin and are responsible for its texture, strength and resilience. Without peptides, our skin is less intact which can lead to a loss of firmness, the appearance of wrinkles, a change in texture and less ‘bounce’.
When applied topically to the skin, peptides act as little messengers, triggering skin cells to perform specific functions such as building collagen and elastin, encouraging skin to look and act younger.
Extensive scientific research has proven that peptides can support your skin on multiple levels, for example firming, soothing and hydrating the skin.
There are multiple non-fragrant plant oils in the Sobel Skin Rx formula, including Sweet Almond Oil, Shea Butter, Sunflower Seed Oil, Avocado Oil and Macadamia Nut Oil — all of which skin loves and soaks up. There’s also a bit of humectant Sodium Hyaluronate at just about a one-percent concentration to help hold water in the skin and prevent dehydration.
The Oligo Peptide Eye Cream is a good, clean formula to gently moisturize, plump and smooth the eye area. It’s a great option for skin that’s dry year-round and all skin types in the colder winter months.

Farmacy | Cheer Up Brightening Vitamin C Eye Cream
As I declared in last week’s blog on my new sunscreen crushes for fall, I’ve had a secret crush on Farmacy for a while now. It’s kind of a hidden gem IMO. One of my favorite winter treatments for dry skin is the Farmacy Honey Potion Renewing Antioxidant Hydration Mask. I’m a huge fan of that pot of gooey gold, and have probably gone through two or three jars of it over the last couple of years.
Farmacy locally sources and cultivates pure, natural ingredients for their range of clean skin care you can trust. I’m consistently wowed by the brand’s products — and Farmacy’s Green Defense Daily Mineral Sunscreen is among the best mineral sunscreens for face. Get you some!
Farmacy’s new Cheer Up Brightening Vitamin C Eye Cream is a solid brightening treatment and moisturizer for the eye area.
It’s got a luxuriously creamy texture that’s a pleasure to use around the eyes. Like all of Farmacy’s formulas, it’s clean and devoid of toxins and other skin irritants like fragrance (ahem, La Mer!), fragrant plant oils and synthetic preservatives.
Farmacy describes their quirky little cherry-themed cream as “a super-hydrating, vitamin C-rich eye cream that brightens and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and dark circles, delivering instant radiance.” I have no doubt it can achieve that in the eye area. But, of course, because it’s in a jar, it will likely only achieve that in the 4-week period after opening. So grab a spatula, dig in and use it up!
One of the most notable things about the Cheer Up INCI is the inclusion of four forms of Hyaluronic Acid — Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate and Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer. That’s quite the humectant one-two punch as each can act at varying depths in the skin to lock in hydration and prevent trans-epidermal water loss, more commonly known as TEWL.
What is trans-epidermal water loss?
There’s an excellent article on the health website Skin Better titled, What Is Transepidermal Water Loss and Why Is it Important? available here. In the piece, the author defines TEWL as follows:
“The skin is comprised of three primary layers: the epidermis, the outermost layer; the dermis or middle layer; and the hypodermis, the undermost layer. When water passes from the dermis through the epidermis and evaporates from the skin’s surface, this is known as transepidermal water loss (International Journal of Pharmaceutics).
While TEWL is a process that your skin naturally regulates, certain factors that can damage the skin’s barrier function can also affect TEWL levels. Circumstances such as injury, low-humidity weather conditions and topically applied products that dry out the skin can impact TEWL.
To achieve this, combine humectant and occlusive skincare ingredients.
Transepidermal water loss can contribute to a variety of dry skin conditions, and although it is a natural process, there are ways that you can help your skin stay moisturized and hydrated. Hydration refers to the water content of the skin, whereas moisturization is the skin’s ability to retain those water molecules. Therefore, your skin needs both elements to maintain desirable levels of TEWL.
To achieve this, combine humectant and occlusive skincare ingredients. Humectants help to draw moisture to the epidermis, either from the air if it is humid enough, or from the underlying dermis in low-humidity conditions. Because water content that is drawn from the dermis can be lost through TEWL, it’s important to combine the use of humectants with occlusives. Together, these ingredients create a reservoir of moisture in the epidermis and act as a barrier on the skin to help prevent TEWL by sealing in that moisture. The occlusive agents simultaneously keep pollutants, toxins and harmful bacteria out (Skin Therapy Letter).”
There’s also a good amount, perhaps a 5% concentration, of Vitamin C in the form of Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate — a relatively stable and non-acidic form of Vitamin C that’s an effective antioxidant for limiting environmental damage in the eye area. As with all treatments in the eye area, high concentrations of actives can be irritating. I’ve seen no irritation with Farmacy’s Cheer Up Brightening Vitamin C Eye Cream.
It’s a good, clean eye cream — and one of the best antioxidant eye creams for brightening and protecting the eye area.

StriVectin | Peptight 360 Tightening Eye Serum
And this brings me to what I think is the most delightful and pleasurable of the four new eye creams I’ve reviewed on the blog — the StriVectin Peptight 360 Tightening Eye Serum.
If you’re unfamiliar with StriVectin, it’s the brand that came onto the beauty scene with that wild Better than Botox campaign back in mid-90s. What, exactly, was “better than Botox”? Well, the brand’s breakout wrinkle cream that also had an effect on stretch marks.
Central to all of StriVectin’s formulas then and now is the brand’s proprietary form of Niacin, or Vitamin B3, called NIA-114. As I recall, this molecular cousin of Niacinamide has some sort of lipidic quality that enables the molecule to penetrate the skin barrier more deeply.
Similar to Niacinamide, the NIA-114 molecule has the ability to strengthen the skin barrier, brighten the skin, and defend against aging environmental aggressors. All good stuff for the eye area, right?
StriVectin’s Peptight 360 Tightening Eye Serum has this wonderfully silky texture, similar to a heavy serum, that’s super spreadable and readily absorbed by the delicate skin in the eye area.
It’s also got a cooling metallic applicator that reminds me of the outdoor pool in my apartment building in LA — it’s nice to have but I never used it! I find these metallic applicators uncomfortable to use and I hate having to wipe them off after each application. But if you like the cooling effect they provide, you’ll love the Peptight 360 Tightening Eye Serum!
What I love about the StriVectin formula is the complex of three anti-aging peptides — in addition to the brand’s proprietary form of Vitamin B3. At a relatively high concentration in the formula are Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Dipeptide-2 and a peptide quite absurdly listed in the INCI as Nicotiana Benthamiana Octapeptide-30 sh-Oligopeptide-2.
Yeah, I googled it.
Under the trade name Scelleye, this crazy-sounding peptide is purported to regenerate and thicken the epidemis, or skin barrier, “reducing crow’s feet wrinkles in 14 days and lightening dark circles.”
I’m down for that. There’s also a nice amount of invigorating, brightening antioxidant caffeine, which is wonderful around the eyes in the morning. Come to think of it, that cooling applicator would be a nice eye-opener, too!
On the pricier end at $69, as with the Sobel Skin Rx Oligo Peptide Eye Cream, the cost can perhaps be justified by the solid formula and logical packaging. The sealed tube will help to preserve the formula at maximum efficacy for longer.

MDSolarSciences | Mineral Tinted Sunscreen Stick SPF
I’m not exactly quiet about the essential need for sunscreen in the eye area. I didn’t get to 55 years old with only minimal fine lines around my eyes by some stroke of luck. It’s the fact that I’ve been using sunscreen on my face and around my eyes since my early 20s.
As I’ve said, my longtime go-to has been the SkinCeuticals Physical Matte UV Defense SPF 50; and recently, I’ve grown fond of the Supergoop! Bright-Eyed 100% Mineral Eye Cream SPF 40.
The main issue people have with using sunscreen in the eye area is the chance of it bleeding into and irritating the eyes. What you want is a good, non-migrating formula with a putty-like texture. The SkinCeuticals Physical Matte UV Defense SPF 50 does have a putty texture that stays put. And the new MDSolarSciences Mineral Tinted Sunscreen Stick SPF 30 does too!
I first reviewed the MDSolarSciences brand last summer in my piece titled, Brands I Love: MD Solar Sciences Doctor-Developed Facial Sunscreen Products, available here.
The brand’s sunscreen products are top-rated by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) — with four formulas receiving the coveted rating of “1”. Among the four is the brand’s workhorse and a personal favorite, the Mineral Crème SPF 50.
The Mineral Tinted Sunscreen Stick is a superb formula with what the brand refers to as a “universally flattering light tint that easily applies to your skin and is perfect for on-the-go use.” It seems so much darker in the tube than it actually appears on the skin — and it makes the perfect concealer with SPF for the under-eye area.
The MDSolarSciences formula contains a blend of mineral sun filters with Titanium Dioxide (8.25%) and Zinc Dioxide (6%). It’s perfect as an on-the-go sunscreen touch-up or as one of the best sunscreens for the eye area. That’s a rarity and a real home-run in my book.
If you’re not using sunscreen around your eyes, this is the perfect place to start. Trust me, you’ll thank me when you get to 55.
SHOP THE BLOG: Purchase the MDSolarSciences Mineral Tinted Sunscreen Stick SPF 30 for $19 here.
If you’re looking for a well-formulated eye cream, these are all terrific options and each distinct in its own way. Always remember that’s it’s perfectly okay to spend a bit more on skin care, and particularly for a specialized eye cream, if the product is well-formulated.
Be on the lookout for the marketing ploys!
