They say it “dramatically reduces” dark circles, too.
Despite getting a supposedly adequate amount of sleep, I woke up tired this morning. I didn’t think about it much until a morning video chat with my family. When I yawned and said I was tired they said “yeah, you kind of look it, are you okay?” They meant it out of concern, but let’s be honest, it should be illegal to say that. It did, however, make me realize I need something intense and revitalizing for my eyes, something to supplement my eye cream on my most tired and busted-looking days. My search ended with Dermalogica’s Stress Positive Eye Lift Mask.
Dermalogica is an Oprah-approved and Tina Fey-used brand that makes clinical, solution-oriented skincare products at a mid-range price point. Besides the celebrity fanbase, many of its products have hundreds (or even thousands) of five-star reviews thanks to their straightforward efficacy. The brand has personally become a go-to when I want to try something new but don’t want to gamble with my time or money — I know Dermalogica will do me right.

But what is it that’s so specifically persuasive about the Stress Positive Eye Lift Mask? For starters, it targets all of the important eye problems: dark circles, puffiness, wrinkles, and dullness. Second, as a mask/treatment, it is more potent than your everyday eye cream. Third, it has 300-plus five-star reviews.
Fermented yeast in the formula promotes collagen production, thereby improving signs of aging; Dermalogica attributes the cream’s lifting properties to the ingredient, too. The combination of wild indigo and the metal applicator provides de-puffing benefits. And lastly, gallic acid prevents further development of hyperpigmentation, reduces inflammation, and brightens skin.
A shopper in their 50s said this mask “removes puffiness and gives [eyes] a little lift.” Another shopper said Dermalogica’s Stress Positive Eye Lift Mask “dramatically reduced” the lines under their eyes to the point where “it looks like [they’ve] had an eye lift.” A final shopper said it “cools, de-puffs, and lifts while delivering long-lasting moisture.” They added that “in a pinch” they’ve even used it for flaky lips and other dry spots of skin.
