@Carolina925 I feel your pain.

I have a couple of suggestions/questions.

I have found that when my eye area is looking heinous, like the crypt keeper, I need to switch my cleanser. Even a cleanser that I have been using or that is stated to be for normal/dry skin. For whatever reason, the weather, homones, etc it may be drying out my eye area.

I use argan oil (I buy a large bottle on A & then refill a smaller pump bottle.) as my makeup remover. It removes all waterproof makeup & soothes my skin. I don't find it adds moisture, but it doesn't leave an oily film & it doesn't break me out. 

I have been using First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser. A couple of weeks ago I thought my skin needed a change & I bought La Roche Posay Toleriane Hydrating Facial Cleanser. Also very gentle & non drying.

So, my first suggestion is possibly trying a different cleanser. It can make a huge difference & is much less expensive than trying new eye creams.

This is a weird one, but I offer it to you. I could not figure out the tiny wrinkles under my eyes that really showed up with concealer. It wasn't wrinkles. It was "fur". Tiny little hairs that I assume were caused by the lash serum that I use on my upper lash line! Do you use a lash serum? If you do. Look closely. 

For eye cream, I feel like I have tried every recommendation to get moisture in my eye area. My skin is oily, but my eye area is always dehydrated.

I have tried all of the expensive eye creams & some were useless, some were good, none were amazing.

My favorite eye moisturizers are actually quite inexpensive.

Trader Joe's Supremely Hydrating Eye Cream-$6 for .53oz & it is great.

Acure Radically Rejuvenating Eye Cream-$19.99 for 1 oz. You can usually find it on sale.

ELF Holy Hydration-$11 for .53oz I bought this 2 weeks ago at Target because I couldn't get to Trader Joe's for my eye cream & it is shockingly nice!

Sometimes I pat a teeny bit of Aquaphor over my eye cream at night to seal in the moisture & my eye area looks nice & plumped in the morning.

I hope you find something that works great for you.

My most fave cream for eyes , day and night, is Kiehls avo cream. It is very moisturizing which is all I go for--have baggage under my eyes that NOTHING but surgery will remove so I just go for having smooth, moist----baggage!!! 😄👀

Try applying products to damp skin b/c moist skin will absorb better than dry skin. Also, tap, don't rub when applying and use only a small amount. Using too much product and then rubbing that into the skin won't usually help, especially if the skin is dry.

@Dusty1 , thanks for all that info. I do not use a lash serum, never even heard of them honestly. I don't use concealer because everything I've ever used, even before I got this old, seemed to enhance the wrinkles. I appreciate all your comments!
