While everyone knows that a proper night’s sleep is the most effective and natural way to combat baggy and inflamed eyelids, clocking in a nightly eight-hour repose is a challenge with Hong Kong’s frenetic pace of life, to say the least. Fortunately, many of the world’s leading beauty brands have turned their collective focus on helping fight this dermatalogical distress with a series of uplifting eye creams and masks.

First up is Chanel, that most beloved of French cosmetics companies, with its Le Lift Sérum. Using the brand’s signature PolyFractioning technology, it has extracted quintessential components of alfalfa and black peppermint to create a botanical anti-ageing shield, leaving your skin divinely smooth.

Fellow Parisian marque Dior, meanwhile, has focussed its attention on reducing micro-inflammations that cause puffy skin via its La Crème, a worthy addition to the Dior Prestige range. Drawing on the regenerative powers of its hero ingredient, the Rose de Granville, it combats ageing by stimulating regeneration and resistance at the cellular level.

For its part, Italian beauty brand Giorgio Armani Beauty has refurbished its skincare line in time for the cooler, harsher autumn season with its Crema Nera Supreme Reviving Light Cream. Reported to provide up to 24 hours of lasting moisture, it is also packed to the brim with anti-ageing components.

Clearly unwilling to be left behind, Swiss-headquartered La Prairie has launched not one but two new eye creams to help deter signs of ageing around the eyes – Skin Caviar Eye Lift and Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Cream. Together, this dynamic duo apparently combats the effects of gravity with caviar science, leaving the ocular area revived, raised and redefined.
