Eye Creams

Shop eye creams, eye serums and eye patches at Rover Island. The skin around the eyes is thinner and drier than the rest of the face, so eye products use lighter textures and gentler strengths. Choose hydrating gels for a fresh-looking morning, retinol or peptide creams for the look of fine lines, and hydrogel patches for a quick boost.

Why Use a Separate Eye Product?

The under-eye area has thinner skin and fewer oil glands, so it dries out first and shows fine lines early. Eye creams are made with gentler strengths and textures for this area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an eye cream help dark circles?

It can hydrate and help improve the look of the under-eye area, but dark circles have many causes, so results vary.
