Good eye cream/treatment for crepey eyes please

As I am now the - ahem - wrong side of 50 Sad I'm really conscious that my eyes are getting more crepey on the lids, and also the fine lines under my eyes are becoming more noticeable. I've been looking at various creams and treatments but some are so expensive (to me, anyway) I really don't want to part with that sort of money and see nothing at all in return.

I do use an eye cream every night at the moment - just a Nivea one - and I'm not expecting miracles, but I would like to improve it if at all possible. There is a CACI facial that focuses on the eye area, and the local salon that offers it uses Murad products. The eye cream is about £70!!!

Any recommendations welcome please.

Decleor excellence is very good - best I've used
Elemis pro collagen also good
Am looking at a Gatineau one on qvc that's got good reviews at the moment

I use one called Azulene by Earth Science. It has mixed reviews but is the best I've used and I've tried all the usual suspects, Decleor, Elemis, Estée Lauder etc. Its bright blue so you only need a dab. It's not expensive either. Got mine from Makeupalley.

Thanks both! Will have a look online at all you've mentioned. I haven't heard of Azulene before.

I'm also tempted to try CACI treatment but it's sooo expensive. I'm worried it will either be a waste of money or it will make a difference and I'll want to keep on having it ...

You can order from QVC and send stuff back within 30 days after you've tried it out if you don't like it
I'm going o have a look at caci and azulene now!

Corny - do you mean Decleor Excellence De L'Age Eye & Lip Cream? £55 on Amazon? I didn't realise you could order from QVC & then return if it you're not happy - result!

Yes that's the one! Cheapest I've had was from cheap smells, but if you're trying it out QVC are great. They have some easy pay offers on this weekend as well so you might be lucky.

Thy have a 2 piece essential eye and lip collection for £54.24 which includes the eye cream - may get it myself!
