Filler and facials aren’t exactly inaccessible in Hollywood, so a celebrity recommendation for anything that comes in a pot that we mere mortals can buy means a lot. Especially when said pot contains eye cream.
Why? Because, honestly, eye creams get a bit of a rep for being ‘useless’. But hey, if you trust the likes of Drew Barrymore, Victoria Beckham and Thandie Newton (and we definitely do), they’re far from it. Maybe you just haven’t found the right formula yet.
Luckily, the ladies of Hollywood are here to help. Here are their absolute favourites…

Kaley Cuoco: Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment
“I’ve tried so many under-eye creams, but I actually think that’s the best one,” Kaley said of this creamy Kiehl’s delight. “When you have under-eye circles, I truly think it makes a difference. Like, I think it actually fills the crevice a little bit.” In our eyes (pardon the pun), that’s the ultimate review.

Olivia Wilde: True Botanicals Resurrection Radiance Eye Cream
As a mum of two and director/actor extraordinaire, we’re going to go ahead and guess that Olivia sometimes has to rely on eye cream over a full eight hours. Her bag-brightening, puffiness-soothing secret weapon? According to her Instagram, it’s this turmeric, licorice and caffeine combo, perfect for hydrating, illuminating and smoothing sensitive skin around the eyes.
Drew Barrymore: Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector
Drew doesn’t mince words when it comes to her eye bags: “It looks like instead of being impossibly happy throughout my life, I look more like a ghoul who came from the graveyard. I’ve tried everything,” she told Women’s Health, naming Clinique’s dark circle corrector as her go-to.

Victoria Beckham: Cosmedix Eye Genius Brilliant Eye Complex
“This is beyond!”, Victoria declared via an Instagram Story, drawing followers’ attention to her personal fave: this formula from Cosmedix. Her facialist Melanie Grant later backed up the fact that Victoria really does rate it, snapping a pic of ‘VB’s skin care faves’ that included the eye cream.
Jennifer Aniston: Vaseline Lip Therapy
Jen thinks out of the box when it comes to eye cream; in fact, she actually uses a Vaseline lip balm instead. According to Hello, she “applies a generous amount under each eye before bed,” and then relies on ice cubes to deal with puffiness in the A.M.

I will be trying the Vaseline lip therapy under the eyes before bed like Jennifer Aniston.
I would love to try them all taaa lol
Would be interested to try Kiehl and see how it goes
I prefer eye serums versus creams because creams tend to give me milia
I use face serums and creams on the eye area too. Find eye creams not containing much in them for prevention of lines. More potent are face serums (with retinol, acids…)
I would think Vaseline would be too heavy for the under eye area The Kiehl one sounds good to me though I haven't tried it
Wow some great eye cream tips from Celebrities never thought about using Vaseline Lip Therapy for an eye cream Jennifer Anniston is full of surprises.
Kiehls Eye Treatment works really well for me. Applied to eye area at night, after shower and before bed, it moisturisers the area well.
The Olay eye cream in the red tube. Its awesome.
Actually….I freaked a guy out at work today when i told him im turning 57 next month. He said he had worked out that I had my kids when i was in my teens and I must be 45 or 46 😀
I wont be trying the Vaseline lip therapy it just sounds sticky and heavy – I love Biolumin – C eye serum which I trialled for BH and its amazing.
Kiehls would be my pick.
Nope, Drew does not mince words – love her for it!
I love the Olay Deep Hydrating Eye Gel after receiving a sample in last year's Rewards Room. I'd rather use an Aussie product, but everything else I've tried gives me zits or milia around my orbital bone. This one's a beauty!
Seeing the Jennifer Aniston Vaseline thing reminds me of an article I read a long time ago where Beyoncé said she uses Vaseline for everything. A few celebs (Nicole Kidman and others I don’t recal) say the same about Aquaphor, which is essentially Vaseline. I guess when in doubt, add Vaseline!
I smiled when I saw Jennifer Aniston' s one. Nice to see that not all celebrities go for the super expensive products
Vaseline lip therapy sounds… sooo strange. If it works for her though, amazing!
No to the vaseline. I'm using a couple of the Plunkett's eye creams and they are quite good. They don't give me milia either.
I had no idea Lancer was this popular
I use the Kiehls. It’s really lovely.
That’s good to know!
Oh yes definitely!
The dark circle corrector sounds nice
I use budget friendly eye creams.
I like the Estee Lauder ANR Supercharged eye complex.
Wow Vaseline ! That’s great to know! Always learning!
I haven’t tried any of these – the Vaseline Lip Therapy is an interesting one!
I have that Kiehl's eye cream but haven't used it yet. Can't wait to try it out
Love Jen. She seems so down to earth!
This is great to read Meedee, I guess our skincare addiction is good for something 🙂
KIEHL'S for sure!
She is so lovely! I wish I could be friends with her.
Always nice to see what celebs use.
Interesting to read that Jen uses a lip balm. I don't plan on trying this
Love eye creams, my favourites this year have been the Andalou and Olay ones.
I like that are different prices too.
It might be one of those multipurpose product.
Let us know how that goes! Most people here have said it might be too heavy.
That is a lovely compliment!!
I have milia! Do you know how we can get rid of them?
I have so much milia! I wonder how I can get rid of them.
Yes! I am using that at the moment.
I have tried the Kiehl's eye cream. Really hydrating. I probably should buy more.
wow using vaseline as eyecream. Interesting!!
I’ve never found an eye cream that does anything at all for me.
Same here!
Every eye cream I've tried has not impressed me at all. I guess I'll keep trying different ones till I find one that works for me.
eye cream all the wayyyyy
I have eye creams but I’m a bit slack at using them regularly. And for heavens sake Mrs Beckham – crack a smile!
I don't have a favourite brand, I haven't found one that makes a big difference yet.
I feel eye creams are preventative and do not have any reverse action on me, i have tried numerous eye creams but none of them have been able to reverse the fine lines under my eyes, some did work on the dark circles though
Wow vaseline? I haven't found an eye cream that's impressed me enough to stick with
Sounds like Keihls gets the thumbs up, I will give it a go as I'm yet to find an eye cream that actually works
