Chanel Le Lift Eye Cream - any alternatives?

Ive been really struggling with red puffy under eyes, for the past few years. Various creams have been tried and given up, mostly because they make often make things worse.

In desperation, I've been trying to conceal rather than treat the area but then last week I got a sample of Chanel Le Lift eye Cream and bingo, my eyes are already drastically improved. It is amazing.

Unfortunately the price is £63 and whilst I am prepared to pay that (I had even looked up cosmetic surgery!) I am wondering whether there is a cheaper similar product as a lot of the beauty product review sites seem sto slag off the pointless expensive packaging Chanel use. The product is also in a pot and I think eye creams in tubes are better as it is less wasteful.

Ha anyone any suggestions please? Ive tried both Origins and Kheils products for this problem asnd both made the area much worse. I particularly like Kheils so I was very surprised.

I like Dermalogica Total Eye care for the daytime and Eucerin Aquaporin eye for the night time... There's a nice Caudalie one too... Tbh I don't feel I've found an absolutely incredible one yet but there's lots out there that are decent. I didn't like the Clinique one I tried (it stung!) a Balance Me one that also stung and I feel a bit 'meh' about the Sunday Riley Active Eye (which is 90 quid or so!)

Oh, just buy the Chanel one that works for you. :) So much is subjective. You could easily spend £63 buying 3 or 4 cheaper products that do nothing. Buy the Chanel one and get on with loving the results.

You are probably right but I am very tempted to keep asking for samples of the suggestions. Well, perhaps not the £90 one as really I am just looking for the same effect at a cheaper price!

If the Chanel works I suppose it is cheap and from the size of the pot it should last for ages.

Thanks.
