Eye cream / treatment recommendations?

Hi all, please could someone recommend a good eye treatment or cream that's good for fine lines? I had a facial and therapist recommended Dermalogica - but they sell that themselves so they may be biased.

Thanks Smile

Niod fractionated eye concentrate

Thank you. I see it's on Vic Health. It's expensive but I'm guessing it must be worth it.

Tbh I think special eye cream is a bit of a con.

I think getting some good hydration to your eyes with hyaluronic acid plus some good night cream is enough.

I spent a fortune on serums, day creams, night cream, eye cream etc

Since I striped down my skincare to a cleanser, Hyaluronic acid and face oil my skin is a lot better.

For fine lines I also find massaging my face properly with good facial oil is better that super expensive cream.

I'm now trying to make my personal own skin care (another thread where I asked if any MN had any experience) because it seems the "less" I put on my face the better it gets.

I have very sensitive skin so I'd rather know what I put on my face!!!

That said I do like the M&S formula range. Beats Cream del a Mer hands down for a tenth of the cost ( yes I've had the serums and cream etc).

The number 7 Serum from boots is good. I like the original formula best tbh.

Sunday Riley has some great facial oils - Luna night is my favourite.

Tbh I'd check out some facial massage techniques on YouTube and buy a nice face oil.

I’d second NIOD. My eyes were really really dry and wrinkly and I had a bit of eczema under one which I couldn’t shift. Tried Elemis eye serum, almond oil, lansiloh (nipple cream), Bobbi Brown extra thick eye cream and even hydrocortisone cream under Dr’s advice and nothing worked. Eventually a sweep of REN clarifying toner (not near lash line) and the NIOD fractionated eye serum have my eyes looking hydrated again. Totally recommend it.

@DarthArts - what products do you use, if you don't mind me asking? I'm currently accumulating more and more, none of which work in the way I want them to!

I chop and change to find my "holy grail" Grin

Right now I'm dabbling at the medium price point having found not much benefit at the high end!

I'm currently using the M&S absolute range - the hydrating cleanser, serum and sleep cream.

Tbh I think it's pretty good and certainly holds its own against much more expensive brands.

I do like Eve Lom - cleanser and moisturiser but I'm not convinced it's worth the price.

Another one I like is the Rodial stem cell cleanser and Bee Venom moisturiser.

I thought Creme del a Mer was a rip off.

Wasn't hugely impressed with Charlotte Tilbury skincare though the night cream is very nice if you have dry skin like me.

Oh I've just got the ordinary hyralounic acid and rosehip oil and am starting on that.

I really like it.

Still using my M&S cleanser and the sleep cream at night.

Thanks @Darth 😀

I can't afford NIOD at the moment, so ended up getting this..

La Roche-Posay Redermic Eye Cream

Kiehls Avocado Eye Treatment. I swear by it for dry skin around my eye area caused by eczema.
