My Verdict on CeraVe’s Eye Cream That Targets Signs of Ageing
I have a Business degree and spent 10 years in the fashion industry as a product developer and product manager. Moved into the Beauty industry in category management 6.5 years ago
Key Takeaways
- Eye cream importance: I only started using an eye cream after turning 40, and it made a significant difference in my fine lines and dark circles.
- CeraVe's trusted quality: I have been a fan of CeraVe for years due to their gentle, affordable products that contain beneficial ingredients.
- Skin Renewing benefits: The new CeraVe Skin Renewing Eye Cream effectively reduces the appearance of fine lines while deeply hydrating the delicate eye area.
- Key ingredients: I appreciate that the cream includes a peptide complex and niacinamide, which help to smooth fine lines and brighten the skin.
- Convenient tube design: I love the tube format of the eye cream, which makes dispensing the right amount very easy and space-efficient.
- Fragrance-free formula: I prefer the eye cream’s fragrance-free formula, ensuring no irritation around my eyes.
- Visible results: I noticed a reduction in my dark circles and an overall brighter appearance shortly after starting to use the cream.
I have a confession to make…I only just started using an eye cream over the past year once I hit the big 4-0.
As a busy mum the thought of that one extra step in my skincare routine was just too much to deal with….but boy, was I missing out!
After adding an eye cream to my routine I could really see the difference in my fine lines and dark circles.
So when our Senior Beauty Editor, Sadaf asked me to trial CeraVe’s first-ever eye cream to help combat visible wrinkles & loss of volume, I was beyond excited.
I have been a big fan of CeraVe for years, all their products are super gentle, affordable and contain all the good stuff my skin loves (namely the three essential ceramides you will find in all their products).
The new Skin Renewing Eye Cream builds on the current offering in the skin renewing range that includes a night cream, retinol and vitamin C serum.

I've been road-testing the CeraVe Skin Renewing Eye Cream for the last few weeks – ahead are my honest thoughts so far.
My CeraVe Skin Renewing Eye Cream Review.
First things first, I love the tube format. It’s super easy to squeeze out the perfect amount and it hardly takes up any space in my vanity.
The texture is very lightweight, making it extremely easy to dot onto the delicate area around my eyes.
It feels instantly hydrating and nourishing (a great wake me up in the morning), and I also noticed it helped keep my makeup from settling into the fine lines around my crow's feet.
As I approach my mid-40s and battle through the "tween" years with my kids, the fine lines and dark circles under my eyes have definitely increased.
After the first application, my under-eye area immediately felt smoother, hydrated, and nourished by the gel-like texture of the cream. It also worked well with my other skincare products.
I love that it’s fragrance-free—I really hate fragranced skincare. I don’t need my eyes to be lightly scented, thanks!
I definitely saw a reduction in my dark circles, and the area looked brighter overall.
If you're looking for an affordable, no-frills product that really works, add CeraVe’s new Skin Renewing Eye Cream (or the whole Skin Renewing range) to your cart.
CeraVe Skin Renewing Eye Cream Customer Reviews.
"Thank you for listening to your customers and coming out with this excellent anti-aging eye cream! It was much needed for fine lines and I love that it has caffeine in it. It feels wonderful around my eyes and is emollient yet not greasy. What a great addition to the Skin Renewing Line. I love it and will continue to buy it." - Jody.
"THE ABSOLUTE BEST EYE CREAM I HAVE EVER TRIED! Thank you Cerave! I’ve tried so many different eye creams only to be disappointed and so many eye creams were more expensive and much less effective. Please don’t ever stop making this. Truly helps diminish the appearance of any lines under your eyes and also helps with any horrible puffiness/under-eye bags. Wonderful product!" - Kaia.
"I've been using the Skin Renewing Eye Cream for about 6 weeks now and I am seeing a difference in the small lines under my eyes and the slightly crepe area on my lid. It has smoothed out my tiny wrinkles so they don't look as pronounced as they did before. My eyelids look smoother. I use it in both my morning and night routines. I'm very pleased with this product!" - Ronnie.
