Dry sunken undereyes

[JessiP117]

Hello! I’m having a difficult time with my under eyes they look dry and usually sunken and wrinkly. Any advice on skincare and/or concealer type products to help with this? In this photo I have no makeup on. Going to Sephora tomorrow to pick up some things and thought I’d start a post here beforehand.

I’m 50, @JessiP117 , and used to have these and it turned out it was allergies. I do get a lot of allergies but my under-eyes started looking a lot better when I continued using my Zyrtec even when I wasn’t having other allergy symptoms.

I have the same issue.

@JessiP117 It looks like you need some hydration or brighteners for under the eyes.

Sephora employee here.  A beauty advisor in store can also do a skin scan and cater products to your skin needs.

Some products that may help

KORA Organics Noni Glow Radiant Eye Oil .34 oz / 10 mL 

OLEHENRIKSEN C Your Best Selfie Brightening Moisturizer & Eye Crème Set

This might sound really blunt, so pardon @JessiP117 , but have you seen a doc or specialist?  There are some vitamin deficiencies that can be at play when it comes to the skin underneath your eye.    A lot of things with skin (including hair) are usually clues to what's happening/happened inside.

Also, a lot of things are genetic, for example, I have malar bags,  so concealer helps, but they didn't fully disappear.  I would suggest checking that out, too, if you haven't already.

Products....

In the drier months, I try to go heavier on fluids and hydration skin care just because I feel like the heat in a lot of areas I travel to also dries me out.

For eyes, I've been loving samples of the Macrene eye cream, but I don't have the coin for the FS 👀.  That being said ,trader Joe's has a great eye cream as well.  Sephora also just released SEPHORA COLLECTION Lift & Firm - Smoothing & Firming Eye Cream with Peptides + Hyaluronic Acid 0.67 ... which I'm curious to try.  I also have liked belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb with Peptide and Ceramide .84 oz (before the reformulation) and there's also IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Brightening Eye Cream for Dark Circles 0.5 oz 

In the evening, I like sealing my eye cream with LANEIGE Bouncy & Firm Eye Brightening Sleeping Mask with Peony + Collagen Complex™ .7 oz / 20 g .. Which a few other folks on BIC love, too

In the AM, I like using The Ordinary Argireline Solution 10% for Reducing Fine Lines 1 oz/ 30 mL with eyes masks like SEPHORA COLLECTION Caffeine Eye Mask Patches for Dark Circles + De-Puffing Cucumber or Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Pure Luxury Lift & Firm Hydra-Gel Eye Patches

I think it’s more hereditary and also possibly combo of lack of sleep, increased stress and lack of hydration but I’ll def mention it when I go in June for my physical if it’s not better. Thank you for the recs! I’m going to check them out. I also started taking collagen again too. Getting old isn’t for the weak 😝

There's a great thread where wellness is a bit gamified to help, Wellness In Progress: January 2025 Wellness In Progress: January 2025 , of you're interested

Heh, I back you on getting old, it's definitely not for the weak, considering the alternative ☠️. But honestly, any day we get to play with makeup and skincare, we're doing this aging thing well 🙌🏽
