Eye Masks vs Eye Cream: Which Works Better?

If your under-eyes could talk, they’d probably ask for sleep and a glass of water. So when it comes to fixing puffiness, dark circles and tired-looking skin, we know you’re reaching for quality skincare. The only question is, eye mask or eye cream?

The truth is, they do different jobs. Eye cream is your daily essential that hydrates, smooths and supports the under-eye area over time. Use it morning and night and you’ll find overtime not only will your under-eyes appear brighter, but skin texture will be improved and the skin barrier will be stronger. Eye masks however, are more of a quick fix that don’t ask for daily usage. They deliver a concentrated hit of hydration and help to visibly depuff, brighten and refresh the area in a short amount of time.

So it’s not really about which is better, but when you choose one over the other. Eye cream is your daily go-to, while eye masks are for moments when you need a little extra pick-me-up like before events, after a big night out or a long day travelling.  .
