We all know SPF is crucial; but even those who religiously apply it to their faces, tend to avoid the eye area. This is partly due to the fact that sunscreen formulas are often heavy or greasy and don’t sit well on the delicate eye area but the result can be darkening of the under eye area and discolouration from the sun. The solution? Eye creams with added SPF. Lightweight and packed with skin-loving ingredients, these formulas are better than ever, meaning you have no excuse to go without sun protection!
See below our roundup of the best eye creams with SPF, to reap the benefits of a skincare formula but also ensure you’re protected every day.
