So... I used to use Olay total effects and then more recently have been using Clarins but can't say I notice any difference with either. Does anyone have an eye cream they would recommend? Am finding my eyes are looking rather more tired and baggy these days and the Clarins stuff doesn't seem to be touching it. Thanks.

In a survey Simple came out well, and Clinique All about eyes gets good reviews.

However, I gave up using eye cream ages back despite taking care of my skin as I cannot see any difference at all. I don't think anything helps bags except surgery. Sad

I bought this uk.melvita.com/organic-melvita-uk-eye-contour-gel-anti-ageing-product-for-all-skin-types,8,1,4947,4939.htm which I read about and was highly recommended, but didn't think it was that great, so this is a non-recommend I suppose.

I really really recommend eucerin eye creams
I had terrible problems in the summer after an allergic reactions and this cream was my lifesaver

The facial cream is great as well.

I got ginzing from Origins a couple of weeks ago and it is every bit as good as I'd heard, I'd highly recommend it.

abigboydidit · 10/01/2012 20:30

Ah.. Thanks all. Have plenty Boots advantage points so will check out Clinique, Simple and Eucerin.

I use clinique all about eyes. I agree with amelia don't think it makes much difference to look at but I have dry skin and it makes my eye area feel nice. Also no lines around eyes yet and am 36.

Sorry duckyfuzz - xpost!

I really like Clinique eye creams. I use the Repairwear one. Feels lovely.

Clinique All About Eyes! I have found it actually reduced the appearance of undereye darkness (obviously doesn't completely eradicate it, but there was some definite improvement for me) and the texture and feel of it is SO nice. Small pot but it does last a good while as you only need a little bit.

Another recommendations for Origins GinZing. Was quite astonished at how good it is - takes an instant 5 years off!

I have dr Hauschka revitalising eye cream which I like - and no nasties, all organic

CointreauVersial · 11/01/2012 12:55

I usually use Olay or Boots No7 Protect & Perfect but am currently half way through a pot of Avon Anew - this one. It comes with a mini-pot of under-eye "veil" (light-reflecting, to hide the bags), and is very good.

Neal's Yard are my current favourites for skincare. I've used their Rose eye cream which is light and easily absorbed but very moisturising which is great as I've had loads of problems with dryness and sensitivity around my eyes. Neal's Yard are free of all the nasties too and are reasonably priced. I think if the skin around your eyes is well moisturised that makes a big difference too.

Jessicaalbastwin · 11/01/2012 17:05

Elemis absolute eye cream, I love it, it's light and has helped with fine lines.

abigboydidit · 12/01/2012 08:59

Oh! Loads more options - fab! Off too google.. Thanks all!

oh yes, another vote for eucerin (I think I'm using the hyaluron filler one) - brilliant, no irritation even though everything else (and Clarins, I'm looking at you) has caused me no end of trouble.
