Eye Cream that Makes a Difference

Fish in the Sea — Thu, 26 Mar 2015 16:35:15 GMT

I'm looking for an eye cream and would greatly appreciate your suggestions! I'm 42 with good skin, but after giving birth at age 40, I've noticed a lot of dark circles (which can be corrected with concealer) and tiny fine lines under my eyes. I'm looking for an effective eye cream! Where do I start? I'm up for suggestions for anything thru the Q or even OTC products.

I like Ole Henriksen's Fresh Start Eye Cream. Nice consistency, non-greasy, and feels really nice on the delicate skin around the eyes.

I like Dr.Gross' ferulic+retinol eye serum and Philosophy's hope in a tube.

A good OTC (drugstore) eye cream is Cerave, very reasonable.

So, so many to choose from - Good luck!

You are so right! There are so, so many from which to choose. That's why I'm asking for a tried and true product. I've been making myself nuts reading reviews. It's crazy the amount of products that are out there on the market!

But - I know I can always come here and get an honest answer and honest review. Thanks for the start.

I just checked out the Cerave on Amazon and it has great reviews and it priced within a budget I can live with, being a SAHM and grad student. Thank you!

Probably more important than the one you use is to use it consistently.

My FIL dentist says, "You know the best toothbrush to use? The one you'll use twice a day."

I have had good results with Tarte Eye Brighter Maracuja eye cream. It just sinks in and is so lovely. Also, Estee Lauder Night Repair serum is a must for me. Will try to think of more... the dark areas can be greatly helped by Renova... same with "the crinkels."

Tomorrow Manuela is offering a brand new eye duo from Isomers on Evine. Lyn in MI was already raving over this duo on the Isomers Forum, she has used it already.

I have just been dealing w/Bobbi Brown Hydrating eye cream-gave me milia-ugh! It's going away for the past 2 weeks, but is a PITB.

I've never found a HG eye cream or serum for dark circles but the most effective ingredients are supposed to be Haloxyl, Eyeliss, retinol, vitamin C and vitamin K. JLF is happy with Mad Hippie Eye cream so hopefully if she posts on this thread she can tell you what improvements she's seen. Are the lines that you are seeing fine lines or is it dryness? For dry under eye area, I highly recommend Kiehls Creamy Eye cream with avocado. The small size runs about $27. You'll need to let it absorb for about five minutes before putting on under eye concealer but it has really made a difference in under eye dryness for me. Plus my concealer goes over it nicely once it is absorbed too.

It might actually be dryness!!! I live in the upper Midwest and it's been a horrible, long winter and even spring is shaping up to be bad. I cannot thank you enough for your suggestions!!! Keep 'um coming! You all are the true beauty experts!

I feel terrible saying this, but there's not a single Philosophy product I've ordered and liked. Sorry, Philosophy girls.
