11 Products That Lift and Firm Droopy Upper Eyelids

There are tons of products for the under eyes that tackle everything from darkness to bags, but not every formula is also safe for the oft-forgotten upper eyelids. Droopy upper eyelids, formally referred to as ptosis, can add years to your appearance even if you’ve ironed out your crow’s feet. Lifting sagging upper eyelids and firming up any folds will help give you a more awake look that will alter your appearance in a way you probably didn’t think possible. Since the upper eyelid is delicate, you have to be sure any product you’re using is trustworthy and effective. To help guide your search, we’ve rounded up our favorite solutions for lifting droopy upper eyelids.
