Simple got the best reviews in a Daily Mail test a few years ago.

I honestly don't think any work.

Elemis Pro Collagen Eye Serum is what's gracing my (nearly) 47yo eyes at the moment.
Not greasy or heavy. Smile

I've been using wrinklestop from Aldi. Its way better than anything else I've tried.

I'm using boots no.7 protect and perfect, eye cream at night and a gel with roller ball for morning. I'm 41. My main issues are bags and dark circles, but the bags do seem slightly better (when I use it regularly enough!) I know they have a few different eye products in their no.7 range depending on your concerns. Also used to use (and love) some clarins eye products, but post-DC can't really afford them, whereas I get no.7 when on 3 for 2 and with the £5 vouchers they often have.

Avens do a nice light cream in a pump dispenser so you only use a tiny amount each time.

Roc eye cream is good and not too expensive.

Roc is the best imvho.

Boots Vitamin E range eye cream comes in a little tube, easy to apply, feels lovely and its a bargain at £3. Has same active ingredients as some of the pricier alternatives.

I'm in my 40s too & generally am not a great believer in the 'miracle' claims on eye products marketed towards us 'older' women.

I have a bottle of the Elemis mentioned above and it did fuck all.

Now, having invested a whole £6 on a Roc roller ball face thingy which has given me a facelift (virtually) I am going to buy the eye one as well and try that.
