Why is this a good deal? 💰

Eye-lifting surgery can set you back thousands of dollars, on average — in comparison, a mere $13 (down from $25) for a firming cream that can lift and smooth the lids and skin around the eyes is one heckuva bargain. Our price trackers are showing that this is the lowest price this year, so it's high time to show those peepers some love!

Why do I need this? 🤔

Our own beauty expert, Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini, raved about Derma E in her list of the best skin tightening creams on Amazon: "Derma E [is] a truly quality brand that makes natural, vegan and cruelty-free products that won't cost you a week's pay. Made of skin-revitalizing ingredients like copper peptides and plant stem cells, it's clinically proven to improve elasticity, firmness and lighten a darker under-eye skin tone. I especially like it for my upper eyelids, where I've seen a noticeable difference in improved texture over just a few weeks."

The copper and copper peptides in the formula work to enhance skin's firmness by helping produce collagen and elastin, while plant stem cells infuse the skin to help produce new cells, working to smooth wrinkles and fine lines with a refreshed, youthful look. There's even the funnily-named Kakadu Plum (don't laugh!) in the mix, which can help fade pigmentation, even out skin tone and improve texture, thanks to its high levels of skin-loving vitamin C.

What reviewers say 💬

More than 1,600 Amazon reviewers have given Derma E Stem Cell Lifting Eye Treatment a fresh five-star rating, with many highlighting the cream's ability to moisturize and firm the eye area.

Pros 👍

"A miracle for your eyes — no time travel required!" raved one thrilled reviewer. " ... Let me tell you, it's like having a tiny, magical facelift in a tube. This stuff is so good, I'm pretty sure it's powered by unicorn tears and ancient secrets. After just a few days, my under-eye bags were so tight they could've been mistaken for drum skins. ... If you're looking for an eye treatment that can make you look like you've been getting eight hours of beauty sleep every night (even if you've actually been binge-watching shows until 3 a.m.), then Derma E's got your back."

"This is my favorite product to use on upper eyelids to fight lid dropping," shared another shopper. "Really firms and keeps my lids looking great and I saw a difference when I stopped using."

A final fan added, "I have a drawer full of eyelid serums and tighteners from a list of famous brands, and this one beats them all. I am 84 years old and have an upper eyelid problem that's not easy to resolve, but this does the best job for a fraction of the price of the better-known and widely advertised brands."

Cons 👎

"Having a sensitive eye region, this cream was just okay," said one user. "I found it did cause some itching over time. It went on easily and absorbed nicely. As a caveat, I do have very sensitive skin."

Another customer added, "This product works well for reducing the appearance of lines, but I don't care for the container, because you can't stand it up on the lid."

Snap up this under-eye phenom for the lowest it's been this year!
