eye cream

[nursee81]

Hey ladies what's a good eye that you would recommend, I was thinking about getting the clinique all about eyes. I have never tried it before, but they had gift with purchase so I am thinking why not.
I am currently using the Philosophy eye cream and was thinking about switching. Any suggestions.

Paula Begoin would tell you eye cream is a hoax to buy just another product. The eye are is made of the same skin anyway, sometimes its a little thinner. A thick cream witll not prevent wrinkles, it will just give you more swelling and bagginess. Get a gel for under the eye, and keep it in the fridge. Lately I like that Garnier Roller for under the eye, or preparation H gel.

So basically if you are using an anti wrinkle cream on your face you can use the same one on your eyes?

I'm one of these people who actually doesn't believe in "eye creams". To me it's just a way to squeeze more money out of women by playing on their fears, but I digress...

I use the teeniest dab of plain old Aquaphor (which I keep around for use on my body) on my lids and all around my eyes. I'd imagine that Vaseline would do just as well. I'm 40+ and have yet to see a wrinkle (knock on wood!).

I started believing in eye creams when my eyelids started peeling, sexy i know.

So I asked in a forum about gentle exfoliation and a girl said I don't need exfoliation... i need eye moisturizer. So I went and got B.Kamins from Naimies. Been free off the peeling lids ever since. But I am 33 so I use all that hydrating, wrinkle reducing, exfoliating, anti aging stuff I can manage!

Don't have any lines, no wrinkles, no bags, no discoloration... pretty awesome, all that crap they sell sometimes actually works.

no not every cream
some normal creams can migrate if theyre not made for the eye area then your eyes start to water or burn - this is very important if you wear contact lenses

eye creams should be tested (ophthalmologic) where other creams are just tested to be used on face

a lot of eye creams are fragrance free

I am 20 and I do believe in eyecreams. Eyes are the first place to show signs of aging. Not that there is anything wrong w/ aging, but I like my skin to just be nice and luminecent. I use moisture lush eye.

Yes, same ingrediants, but they eye cream you get .5 ounce at the price you'd pay for 1.7 ounces of face cream. Paula Begoin has a few videos on You tube on the eye cream myth.

if your anti aging cream is fragrance free and doesnt migrate u can try it on your eyes and if your eyes dont burn then you can use it
if you got sensitive eyes i would not use a face cream under the eyes because sometimes theyre heavily scented or the oil migrates....try different ones and see for yourself

thats just what i learned

I started using an eye cream after my lids started drying out. I couldn't find one that had great reviews so I ended up getting Philosophy Eye Believe. It's more for anti-wrinkle prevention but it does a great job at moisturizing as well. You only need a tiny bit and it works wonders.

Love Neova eye cream, I swear by this skin care line.
I also heard Shisedo & Kinerese are very good as well

I've used Clinique's all about eyes (and the rich) and didn't really notice a difference. I also tried a few other eye creams, but none made a big impression on me. I coughed it up to the idea that eye creams weren't necessary.

However, a few weeks ago I got a sample of Ole Henriksen Fresh Start Eye Creme with my sephora purchase. And OMG I'm in love!!!! I have definitely noticed and felt the difference around my eyes. Even though its a little pricey, it is definitely a purchase I'm going to make as soon as sephora has it in stock

*OH also has a gel if someone prefers that, I haven't tried it yet though.
