I need an eye cream

Got a shock when I looked in the mirror yesterday morning.

I need an eye cream. Could you recommend one? I don't want to pay much more than £25 and it needs to last a good while for that price.

Not looking for permanent improvement, just aesthetic betterment!

Clarins Defatigant Eclair Contour des Yeux (aka Eye Revive Beauty Flash) is what you need. It is like Beauty Flash Balm in that it gives you immediate improvement but I don't think it has any lasting effect (nor do the ones that claim they do though IMHO)!

bosscat · 11/01/2006 13:57

I use the clarins one too as I have really puffy eyes in the morning. I highly recommend it but I was told not to use it every day?

what does the H stand for?

If it's hydrocortisone, don't use it one your face, anywhere. Seriously. It thins the skin big time.

Please go have a look at the active ingredients and put my mind at rest

(bought the clarins one today. Could be mind over matter but I look better already )
