Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process, but that doesn't mean we want to sit back and allow nature to take its course. So instead, we hunt high and low for that elusive anti-ager that will keep our skin looking as glowing and wrinkle-free as it did in our teens. While I can't say I've found a dream potion cabable of getting me carded yet, Darphin Paris Lifting and Firming Eye Serum ($75; darphin.com) is shaving off a few years by making the area around my eyes appear smoother and younger. The intensive formula includes Firmiderm (a firming complex of three plant extracts), Matrikines (a skin restructuring and repairing component that stimulates collagen and promotes elasticity), and Centella asiatica extract (a skin conditioning agent). After applying the product gently in a figure-eight motion the first time, the skin around my eyes immediately felt invigorated, and after two weeks of use morning and night, it looked fresher too. What's more, the serum is weightless and safe for those who wear contact lenses. The only caveat? Wait until the serum has dried completely to apply your morning concealer, or you'll run the risk of arriving at the office with renegade smears. --Terra Cooney
