Best Eye Balms of 2026

"I was amazed to see immediate results, even after just one use. At 73 years old, seeing such quick improvement was a pleasant surprise!"

"I love the soft, easy-to-apply texture. I find it works best when I dab it gently under my eyes with a touch of water, and it feels soothing on my skin."

"My mother, who's 69, recommended this to me because she noticed reduced puffiness and fewer wrinkles. Although I've used it daily for weeks and noticed some hydration, I personally haven't seen changes in puffiness or wrinkles yet, and the balm is a bit sticky for my liking."

"I've tried both the pink and white versions, and I find the texture incredibly lightweight and comfortable. Even with my extremely sensitive skin, I experienced no irritation at all. It's deeply hydrating, leaving my under-eye area soft for hours. If you want something gentle and effective for moisture, this is a fantastic choice."

"This stick is my go-to for quick touch-ups. The caffeine helps with puffiness and dark circles, and the formula contains hyaluronic acid and peptides for extra hydration. It's compact, gentle, and never greasy, giving my eyes a brighter, more awake look whenever I need it."

"I use this every morning and night, whether I wear makeup or not. It has significantly helped with my dark circles and is very easy to apply thanks to the retractable stick. The hydration is noticeable and immediate—really happy with the results!"

"I really appreciate how easily this balm glides over my skin, delivering instant hydration without feeling heavy or greasy. The stick packaging is both elegant and practical, making it perfect for everyday use or travel. My skin looks healthier and more radiant, especially on fine lines and under my eyes. This is a high-quality product that I would gladly recommend and repurchase."

"For me, the KAHI balm stick has been a game changer, especially when used as a massage aid for my evening skincare routine. It creates a smooth surface for lymphatic drainage massage and keeps my skin feeling smooth and deeply moisturized by morning. I also use it as a lip balm during the day, particularly in winter. Even after months of use, there’s plenty of product left. I plan to buy it again."

"The hydration and dewy glow are fantastic, but I do find it a bit greasy at first. It’s better for nighttime use and I avoid using it under makeup during the day. Despite the shine, my skin feels plump and soft after each use, and I believe it helps with wrinkles over time."

"I've found this balm stick to be extremely convenient and versatile—perfect for on-the-go use or quick touchups. It gives my skin an instant boost of hydration and a healthy, natural glow without feeling heavy. The stick design is sleek and easy to carry, and my skin feels more nourished after using it on fine lines and dry areas. I would definitely buy it again."

"What makes this product a game changer for me is how gentle and hydrating it is, especially around my eyes and lips. After struggling with irritation from other products, this balm has been the only one that keeps my sensitive areas calm and moisturized without clogging pores. I’ve even replaced my eye cream with it and now wake up with much smoother skin."

"I love using this balm stick as part of my nighttime routine, especially for facial massage. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized and soft by morning, and it even works great as a lip balm throughout the day. The texture is smooth, providing just enough glide for massage without excessive greasiness. A little goes a long way, and I plan to repurchase when I run out."

"I've been using this eye balm for several weeks and I’m genuinely impressed by the hydration and reduction in both fine lines and dark circles. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. My under-eye area looks and feels smoother and more refreshed—I’d definitely recommend this for anyone looking to improve their eye care routine."

"I love how easy it is to use this balm—just a quick swipe and my under-eye area feels instantly moisturized without interfering with my concealer. I’ve noticed my dark circles have visibly improved and my eyes look brighter than they have in ages."

"The balm has good ingredients and provides noticeable hydration and brightness. My only minor issue is that the stick feels a bit firm and takes some effort to warm up before applying. Once it’s on, though, my skin feels great and I’m happy with the results overall."

"I've struggled with dry, itchy eyelids for ages, and most creams just weren't suitable for use directly on the lids. This ointment truly delivered—hydrated my skin, soothed irritation, and left no greasy residue. The fact that it doesn't have a strong scent and a little goes a long way makes it a staple in my routine."

"As someone with severe eczema on my face, I've tried countless products, including prescriptions, but nothing worked for the dryness and flaking around my eyes until I found this. It's incredibly gentle, soothing, and moisturizing, making my eyelids feel comfortable again. Absolutely a game changer, even though it's a bit pricey—worth every penny!"

"My daughter has chronic eczema on her eyelids and around her eyes. After trying everything from steroid creams to light therapy, this ointment was the only thing that worked—and in just three days! It brought the moisture back and wasn't too greasy. We've already bought more, and she swears by it now."

"I've tried both the pink and white versions, and they feel identical on my skin—lightweight, non-greasy, and comfortable. As someone with extremely sensitive skin, I appreciate that there's zero irritation and lasting hydration. If you're after dramatic brightening, this isn't it, but for deep moisture and a healthy, natural look, it's a solid choice."

"This eye brightener stick is perfect for quick touch-ups and instantly refreshes my under-eyes. I love that the caffeine helps with puffiness, and the hyaluronic acid and peptides leave my skin hydrated and plump. It's gentle, non-greasy, and gives me that bright, 'awake' look anytime."

"I use this daily for dark circles and puffiness, and the retinol and caffeine combo makes a noticeable difference. The compact size is convenient for travel, and it leaves my eyes looking brighter and more refreshed instantly. Plus, it's vegan and gentle on my skin."

"I was really surprised by how effective this balm is! The smooth texture melts into my skin and leaves my under-eye area looking fresher and more awake. After regular use, my skin feels plumper and more hydrated. It's also so easy to apply and works under makeup, which makes it super convenient for daily use."

"Honestly, I didn't expect much, but after finishing the whole tube, I can tell you it definitely helped my skin. My crow’s feet are barely visible when my face is relaxed, and my skin texture and hydration have improved a lot. The scent is barely noticeable, and it lasted me almost six weeks. It's a little greasy at night, but it never caused breakouts. The value for money is great and I will buy it again if the new product I try doesn't work out."

"I tried this after seeing it online, and I'm so glad I did. The skin under my eyes and around my mouth feels so soft and plump now. It's super easy to use, not sticky or oily, and even my mom and daughter noticed how much smoother and more hydrated my face looks. I’ve already ordered more for myself and my family."

"I love how effortlessly this product brightens and refreshes my under-eyes after a rough night. The subtle, light-reflecting finish makes me look more awake without any glitter, and the formula feels cooling and soothing—perfect for mornings when I'm in a hurry. It's become one of my top essentials for looking refreshed with minimal effort."

"After trying this based on a recommendation, I noticed the instant cooling sensation and a visible pinkish glow under my eyes. The caffeine really seems to wake up the area, and the balm sits smoothly under my makeup. For me, it helps with minor under-eye bags and feels great as part of my routine."

"This product is my go-to when I want a natural, less-makeup look. It's cooling, absorbs well, and truly brightens the under-eye area without any scent—great for my sensitive skin. Although it's a bit pricey, the stick lasts several months for me. I don't use it over makeup since it can look a little greasy, but otherwise, it's fantastic."

"I've noticed a visible reduction in my dark circles and puffiness after a few uses of this eye balm. The texture is light and absorbs quickly, which is ideal for both my morning and evening routines. I especially appreciate that a small amount goes a long way, making it a great value."

"The stick format makes applying the eye balm super easy and mess-free, and it's convenient to toss in my bag when I travel. I love how lightweight and smooth it feels—my under-eye area appears less puffy and more hydrated since I started using it regularly."

"I gave this eye balm as a gift to my mom, and she loved it. She’s included it in her daily skincare and finds that it doesn’t cause irritation. It’s been a great addition to her routine."
