Is there any eye cream that actually works?

I have very wrinkly skin above and below my eyes, as well as droopy eyelids and dark circles. I have tried the garnier eye roller thingy, but it didn't really do anything.

Has anyone found anything non-surgical that makes them look any better? They are beyond fixing with make up.

No idea if it "works" but the Clinique Moisture Surge one always feels lovely on.

We all live in hope that one day there will be a magical cream but for now it's Bad News: nowt makes any real difference. Your best bet is to see a good cosmetic dermatologist and see what they would recommend. Not really what you want to hear I'm sure, but there really is no point wasting money.

This stuff is amazing. An immediate effect and over a few weeks it made a huge difference. Unfortunately it dried my sensitive skin and i had to stop using it, but this might not be a problem for everyone. I have tried so many eye creams, none of them came close to this.

Eve Lom Eye Lift - I have used it for about five years and have no crows feet at 53. I swear by it, and if I run out and have to wait a fortnight or so I get puffy baggy under eyes. So yes, it works. It doesn't turn the clock back but it works.

Right - off to google some of these - even though I know that lurkingaround is completely right!

I live in hope!

I remember once reading an interview with a consultant dermatologist who said that there were no miracle creams, the only miracle was that women continued to believe the claims and spend so much money on creams that don't work.

A good moisturiser, enough sleep, plenty of fresh air, no smoking and little or no alcohol will have the same or better effect than a £50 cream. Or do as lurking says Smile

I agree there is no miracle cure but I also like the All About Eyes from Clinique and this Elemis serum

Sunglasses all year round help to block UVA rays and prevent further damage.
