The NCN DNA serum is not an eye cream but a facial serum. And the stance on whether you need an eye cream is a mixed one by many including derms, etc. Depending on your skin you do need to be concerned about milia under the eye area. I'm very familiar with PC as I use several of her products and have spent an inordinate amount of time researching ingredients. Always happy to learn more.

Hey, wait a minute! You just registered, have one post, and it's pushing Paula's Choice?!? I am always suspect about newly registered posters pushing a line as are many other regular posters.

Ladies - thanks for your input. For now, I am just putting argan oil around my eyes because it doesn't cause irritation, but it does nothing for the puffiness which I feel makes me look old and tired. Maybe I'll use some aloe first and make my own concoction.

Has anyone ever tried Skinn? I have heard good things about that line.

Skinn is an excellent value for the money, uses top notch ingredients.

What do you suggest? There are a couple of items on Shop in kits, but I don't know what to buy. I really just want the eye balm that I've been hearing so much about.

My favorite for nighttime is Kiehl's Midnight Recovery (in the dark blue tube). I also use Bobbi's Brown's EXTRA sometimes.

I usually use Wei East eye cream for day, but also use Bobbi Brown's basic eye cream.

SKINN eye products have really delivered for me. I recently started using his new Collagenesis Eye Creme Reverse as that entire Collagenesis line was already working for me. My undereye area just drinks this up. Have only been using for a few weeks and already my undereye area has plumped up. I'm also using the Collagenesis Line Peel Solution on the corners of my eyes for those fine lines. Before the Eye Creme Reverse I was using his Reorganize Night Eye Balm day and night which I really like. I'm also a fan of his Hylighten which I use under my eyes when I have some swelling due to seasonal allergies.

I have tried dozens of eye creams. Most often they would cause red irritation and swelling under my eyes or cause little bumps beneath my lower eye lid. The SKINN products have caused no irritation of any kind.

That's good to hear because I got tiny little red bumps under my bottom lash line from using an eye cream. Stopped it immediately and it's slowly going away.

Thank you everyone for your input. I think I'm going to purchase one of the Skinn eye kits and give it a shot. Worst thing is I have 30 days to return and I'm sure I'll know even sooner if it will agree with my eyes.

You have to register sometime...and I've been shopping skin care since I hit 50 and panicked! I'm not ''pushing" a website but sharing something I recently discovered and I appreciate the cited reference materials and thought it was something all of you would enjoy and benefit from! Don't be so quick to judge!
