Best Under-Eye Wrinkle Treatments, Tricks, and Tips From Dermatologists

Fine lines and wrinkles are a totally normal—and privileged!— sign of aging, and even if you don’t love your under-eye wrinkles, you’ve still got options.

What causes under-eye wrinkles?

The cause of under-eye wrinkles is multifaceted, but mostly just a regular part of aging. As we get older, we lose collagen and elastin—two proteins that keep your skin smooth and firm—as well as some fat.

How to prevent or treat under-eye wrinkles and fine lines:

There’s no way to totally prevent under-eye wrinkles, and there’s also no way to completely get rid of your fine lines either. But! You can use a cocktail of products (and good habits) to help soften the wrinkles you have, and also help slow down the formation of future lines, too. With that being said, let’s get into it:

1. Use a hydrating eye cream

2. Add vitamin C to your routine

3. Use sunscreen every single day (seriously)

4. Stick with retinol

5. Try under-eye masks

6. Be gentle with your skin

7. Sleep on a silk pillowcase
