Reduces puffiness and fine lines
Luminous, light-reflecting finish
Helps eyes appear lifted and bright

What they flagged

Fragrance irritates sensitive eye area
Pricey for a small amount
Brightness comes from mica, not actives

What the gurus are saying

This eye cream's standout feature is light-reflecting particles that make the under-eye area visibly glow and appear lifted. Some reviewers praise the puffiness reduction and smoothing effect on fine lines; others found the fragrance irritating, a legitimate concern near delicate eye skin, and worth patch-testing first. The steep price is tough to justify for fairly basic moisturizer ingredients.

"The Sunday Riley Auto Correct Depuffing Eye Cream is a depuffing eye cream. It's got caffeine which helps with puffiness and under eye dark circles, helps brighten it up. Watermelon extract, great antioxidant. It's got xanthrul, which is another great antioxidant, and ginseng. So it's a really nice eye cream if you're looking for one, especially if you have puffiness or looking for brightening up under eyes. This one's really nice."

"This one is expensive, but it has a big cult following and I was like, you know what? I'll give it a shot. Big mistake. Big mistake. Big huge. My eyes got very irritated after using this one. Once I looked at the ingredient list, I found that there were a lot of fragrant components in this one. Citrus extracts, irritating fragrances. I don't believe I used it for very long. Even though I did notice that some of the darkness seemed to go away on my under eye area, I still was like, this is too irritating. It's making my under eyes really red. I don't like that there's fragrance in it, and it's pricey as fuck. So for that reason, I'm not going to recommend this one. The eye area is so sensitive. There's really no reason for fragrance to be in an eye cream because you can't even smell it. If anything, the fragrance can waft up to your eyeballs and make your eyes more red and irritated."

"This one is probably my most used of all time because it does help with puffiness, fine lines, wrinkles. But what it also has, it has light reflective properties. So when I put this on my eyes glow and it lifts them. So if you are someone who, like me, shows their tiredness in your eyes, you put this on. It takes me from just looking like I've been dug up to actually quite presentable."

"Most eye creams can be used all over the face, but for the amount that you have to pay for such a small amount, it doesn't always make sense. The ingredients aren't terrible, but you would literally find all of this in a facial moisturizer. We have some jojoba esters, which I love. We have some polysilicone, caffeine, glycolic acid, but then we have mica and more beeswax. When you put this on, you're like, 'Oh my god, my under eyes are so bright.' And it's like, yeah, you just applied makeup that's put in a tube of eye cream. There's fragrance in here, which is concerning up by the eye area. This eye cream does not get the Cass pass."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
