"The hyaluronic acid in it will draw the water to the skin. It also has niacinamide to help calm down the redness and support barrier function as well, and then the marine and botanical complex add a little bit of extra soothing and hydrating support on top of all that. The texture is really creamy, nourishing without being greasy, which means it's going to sit nicely under concealer without really peeling up, which is a complaint I hear a lot about eye creams. If dryness and barrier disruption around the eye is your issue, this is a really solid, straightforward pick. The key ingredients here are the ceramides, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and the marine botanical complex."

Cetaphil vs CeraVe: Which Is Better? | Dermatologist Explains

"CeraVe Eye Repair Cream sits on a completely opposite end of the texture spectrum from Cetaphil. It is your traditional cream consistency. It's rich, cushioning, slower to absorb. When you apply it to the under eye area, it feels noticeably softer and more padded afterward, which is something thinner gel formulas just can't replicate. For people dealing with real dryness or fine lines in that area, that tactile difference can make a big difference. The formula brings CeraVe's core approach to the eye area with ceramides for barrier repair. You have niacinamide for tone and resilience, and you have hyaluronic acid for the deep hydration. The marine and botanical complex adds some additional restorative support. Those ceramides and niacinamide combination is really the engine of this product. Because of this richer texture, this works a little bit better as your nighttime option. It's going to have more time to fully absorb overnight, so it's not going to interfere with your morning makeup application and layering. For very dry under eyes, crepey texture, or anyone who finds that gel eye creams disappear too quickly, this is going to be the more nourishing choice. The key ingredients here are ceramides, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, marine and botanical complex."

"For dark circles I like the CeraVe Eye Repair Cream for dark circles. It contains niacinamide. If you have dark circles under your eyes you're going to want to look for something with niacinamide."

"I think this is a great simple eye cream. I've always introduced it on my channel as like a good starter or introductory eye cream to make sure that you're properly nourishing and hydrating your under eye area while preventing damage from occurring down the road. And this eye cream was great when I didn't really struggle with dark circles. But once my dark circles started getting more severe, this one just didn't really do anything anymore. It doesn't necessarily claim to be an eye cream that's going to wipe away your dark circles. It's more focused on moisture, nourishment, and has some great ingredients, but overall, it just leaves a lot to the imagination when it comes to actually brightening any hyperpigmentation or darkness on the under eye area. But it is a good starter eye cream and I still recommend it. It keeps you moisturized, but that's about it."

"It doesn't have any tyrosine inhibitors in this for dark circles, and it also has no collagen stimulators for fine lines. I'm only giving it three out of ten because it's got ceramides in it, because it's got niacinamide in it, and because it's fragrance-safe, meaning it's got no alcohol, no fragrance, and no essential oils, so it's not going to make the skin worse around the eye areas. But it's really going to do nothing for your dark circles or your fine lines. I just don't like it when brands make claims but don't put the ingredients in to back up those claims."

BRIDAL SKINCARE MISTAKES

"CeraVe eye cream is just CeraVe Plus niacinamide in which case you may as well just put niacinamide cream around your eyes or a niacinamide serum and then CeraVe on top. I don't like when there's a huge markup on something that was really a basic product."

BEST & WORST DRUG STORE EYE CREAMS

"It's basically CeraVe moisturizer plus niacinamide. I mean it's okay, but it's £14 for this much, and you know it's usually £20 for the whole tub, so yeah this one was a bit of a gimmick. You'd basically be better off purchasing 10% niacinamide from The Ordinary and then layering it with the CeraVe. It's literally the same thing and at a fraction of the price."

"Their eye cream not very good either. Looks similar to this or is it eye gel or eye cream but I don't think they did a good job on it."

*NEW* CeraVe Vitamin C Eye Cream | HOW DOES IT STACK UP?

"For me personally, this was one I would never waste my time on again because it did nothing and was just having to dispense from another bottle. If you're caffeine sensitive to topical caffeine, I still say just use your regular moisturizer. We're starting to split hairs here on what that's really offering."

"This one is by CeraVe, called the CeraVe Eye Repair Cream. This is another great drugstore brand that retails for 15 dollars, and I've been using this for years. I always take this with me on the plane because it's small and portable. It has ceramides in it, and I find it creamy and hydrating. I really focus on my eyes because that's where I'm starting to get crepiness, that crepey texture where it's lost all of its elasticity. I found that if I plump it up with this, it makes it look smoother and just makes it look more hydrated. So for me, this is a must, and for the price, for 15 bucks, it's a no-brainer."
