For eyes that need a little lift, this collagen-boosted cream from The Face Shop has you covered. Enriched with pomegranate extract, it nourishes dry skin and helps restore suppleness. Collagen works alongside to plump and smooth sagging areas, softening the look of fine lines and dullness. The result? A firmer, fresher appearance that makes you look as well-rested as you feel.

If your under-eyes have been looking a little flat or lacking their usual bounce, you can trust this collagen-rich formula to bring back the volume and elasticity. The formula blends two K-beauty favourites: marine collagen to support firmness and pomegranate extract to give the delicate under-eye area a hit of soothing hydration. The texture melts in softly, making it ideal for anyone dealing with early fine lines, dryness or stubborn dark circles. Over time, it helps the skin look smoother, more supple and brighter. You can use it daily as part of your morning and evening skincare routines.

Not a fan of heavy creams? Belif’s Aqua Bomb Eye Gel is your answer. This featherlight gel formula glides on with a cooling ceramic tip that instantly refreshes tired eyes. Inside, a blend of caffeine and hyaluronic acid gets to work on puffiness and dehydration, while niacinamide helps brighten. It’s refreshing, soothing and non-greasy — perfect for mornings when you want your eyes to feel awake before your first coffee.

Just like your first sip of coffee can kickstart a tired brain, a dose of caffeine can do the same for your under-eyes. This eye gel by Belif uses the same energising ingredient to take down puffiness, while its cooling ceramic applicator gives the area an instant, refreshing jolt. The gel itself feels almost like cold water on the skin. It’s a lightweight, smooth and easily absorbed formula that leaves no residue. It features a mix of niacinamide and vitamin C that work on brightening under-eye bags, while hyaluronic acid loads the delicate skin with long-lasting hydration. Collagen and adenosine add a soft, firming touch, making the whole area look fresher. It’s an everyday boost for tired eyes—and is frankly just as addictive as a good cappuccino.

If you’ve ever woken up with softer, plumper lips after using Laneige’s famous lip mask, you’ll know this brand means business when it comes to overnight care. Now, they’ve extended the same love to your eyes. This caffeine-charged eye sleeping mask works while you rest, helping to reduce dark circles and improve elasticity. Swap out your usual patches once or twice a week for this richer treatment and let it work its magic overnight—so you wake up to firmer, more hydrated under-eyes.  

On nights when your regular eye cream feels inadequate, a richer overnight treatment can make all the difference. This eye mask from Laneige is designed exactly for those evenings. You don’t need it every night—it’s more of a weekly or mid-week reset for days when your under-eyes look a little more deflated, puffy or tired than usual. The texture is richer than your everyday cream, designed to sit comfortably overnight so the ingredients can actually get to work. Caffeine helps with puffiness, niacinamide smoothes uneven texture and the collagen complex works on restoring a firm, cushiony feel to the skin around your eyes. By morning, the area feels softer, more nourished and visibly more put-together.

When it comes to locking in all that good hydration, an eye cream is the final, unskippable step. COSRX’s Advanced Snail Peptide Eye Cream delivers exactly that — a silky, fast-absorbing finish that brightens dullness while giving lasting moisture. With the under-eye skin being naturally thinner and prone to dryness, this lightweight cream helps reinforce the barrier and smooth the look of tired eyes. It’s the everyday comfort blanket your under-eyes didn’t know they needed.

Snail mucin may sound like an unusual ingredient, but its ability to plump, smooth and hydrate has made it a K-beauty essential, especially for under-eye creams. This eye cream from COSRX features a high concentration of snail secretion filtrate, giving your under-eye area a soft, plump feel without any heaviness. The filtrate is gathered from the trails the snails leave behind, with no harm caused to them. The formula also contains 2% niacinamide to brighten dark circles and a five-peptide complex that supports firmness and smoothes the look of fine lines. The texture is light, silky and fast-absorbing, which makes it easy to slot into both your AM and PM routines. It also makes for a great under-eye base before applying makeup.

Tired eyes don’t need any help announcing themselves and this eye cream gives the area a much needed boost. Ginseng helps with dullness and early lines, while the creamy texture feels comforting without being greasy. A tiny amount is enough to make the under eye zone look fresher and more rested, even on days when sleep wasn’t exactly part of the plan.

As you get older, the fine lines around your eyes need more focused care. Sulwhasoo’s eye cream takes a more advanced, treatment-led approach by pairing ginseng flower extract with a gentle retinol complex. Together, they target signs of fatigue, like the soft creasing, the loss of firmness and the early lines that settle in even when you’ve done everything “right.” The texture is rich but never sticky, absorbing quickly enough to work under makeup while still feeling nourishing enough for nighttime use. The ginseng helps boost the glow, while the retinol complex gradually smoothes and refines the skin, treating your under-eyes one day at a time.
