  • The Flight Attendant star Kaley Cuoco swears by a $32 eye cream for a camera-ready complexion.

  • The Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado keeps her under-eye bags at bay, she explains, even when she heads to set before dawn.

  • Cuoco likes to keep her routine simple, focusing on SPF protection and hydration.


Kaley Cuoco’s down-to-earth charm has sold us on everything from The Big Bang Theory to, well, big bangs. Now, we might have to copy her taste in skincare products, too; the actress swears by a super-rich eye cream to keep her under-eye bags in check—and it’s a Prevention-approved pick!

In an interview with Shape earlier this year—just before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down production on The Flight Attendant, the hit series that nabbed the 35-year-old a Golden Globe nomination—Cuoco detailed her love for the Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado, the only product that kept her face camera-ready, even when she had to wake up at 4 a.m. to make it to set.

“I’ve tried so many under-eye creams, but I actually think that’s the best one,” she explained. “When you have under-eye circles, I truly think it makes a difference. Like, I think it actually fills the crevice a little bit.”

The best part? The half-ounce tub will only set you back $32—a little more expensive than the drugstore, but still pretty cheap by celebrity standards. (A full-ounce tub is $50, and you can find it at Nordstrom, Sephora, or Ulta.)

The eye cream is chock-full of moisturizing ingredients like avocado oil and shea butter, plus beta-carotene, an antioxidant that helps protect the skin against those harmful free radicals your hear so much about.

“I love how its texture is so creamy, which immediately feels like a burst of moisture as you put it on,” one Ulta reviewer raves. “It’s difficult to describe with words, but it literally feels like you are putting on concentrated water.”

The only other products Cuoco really shouts out is sunscreen and Lancer’s The Method Nourish moisturizer to hydrate and protect, which keeps her from spending too much time on her complexion each morning.

“You even have to do it when it’s cloudy out—that’s where people don’t think you need it, but sunscreen always,” she told Woman’s Day. (She didn’t note the particular brand she uses, but may we suggest one of these dermatologist-approved face sunscreens?)

Most importantly, Cuoco (a noted caffeine lover) also revealed to Shape that she doesn’t even touch her skin until after she’s had her morning coffee. Celebrities—they’re just like us!
