Eyes – that most delicate of areas on our skin – show the first telltale signs of ageing that no amount of concealer can truly hide. The trick, ladies, is not to hide, but to cure, by turning back time. On hand to help you do exactly that are three superhero eyecreams guaranteed to protect your peepers from pollutants and the passage of time.

Giving in to the demands of bereft beauty livers, Lancôme has reinvented its armory of eyecreams. Standing out among these is the Advanced Génifique Eye. With probiotic fractions from top to toe, this iconic enhancer strengthens the skin around the eye, while ably fortifying it against further damage.

For its part, Estée Lauder has launched the NEW Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Complex Synchronized Recover, which not only protects the eye from the usual suspects (UV rays, pollution, lack of sleep), but also from that most hidden of combatants – at-night blue LED light.

On offer from Sisley all the while is its hero product – SISLEŸA L’Intégral Anti-Âge Eye and Lip Contour Cream, a treatment known to work wonders on the delicate areas around the eyes and lips. Promoting the healthy and enduring functioning of skin cells, it reduces the giveaway signs of ageing, including wrinkles, puffiness and those dastardly dark circles.
