Eyes - serum or cream or BOTH?

[steben]

Need some new eye cream and partly inspired by the How to be Groomed thread am contemplating Decleor or Elemis. However just browsing through the sets I am unsure if you needs serum and cream or just serum?

Any guidance would be appreciated as would any reccommendations!

You can buy both in a set from Liz Earle. The cream is for day i think and serum for night.

depends on what the serum is like - I use a serum first then cream, ie both, day and night

the serum I use is water based, then the cream is oil based but not greasy iyswim

it also depends what you're hoping to "improve", eg bags, cirles, lines, etc

Thanks for replies - ideally i want it to do it all - bags ant ageing etc...what barnd do you use MissFoodie?

bump......

ok, well, I have tried loads, but then I write about them so don't [always] pay for them -
at the moment, my favourites are Aesop Eye Serum/eye cream and Dr Alkaitis Eye cream, but they are £££
why dont you try the liz earle serum + her superskin cream?
the best thing for bags is Oskia, but it's a serum, so doesn't do much for lines, is also about £60 I think.....
I would otherwise try Antipodes eye cream, which is not too pricey, they also do a water based serum you could apply beforehand, dont put their other serums near the eyes as they are oil based

I have a day cream (Origins 'Perfect World White Tea') which is a nice, light serum-ish lotion which is easily absorbed and helps with puffiness, and then a heavy duty cream (Roc Retonix) which is really effective at reducing the appearance of fine lines when you wake up in the morning.

I have tried all sorts of more expensive brands, but these are my firm favourites.
