Eye cream recommendations

I really need to start using an eye cream but wondering do they actually work? I'm 42 with fine lines, crow's feet and tired, baggy looking eyes.

Has anyone used anything that actually makes a difference?

Prickly pear oil is good on top of a hyularonic serum.

Thank you SandwichFairy. I will have a look for prickly pear oil.

This one. I'm the same age as you and I always find my eye skin looks slightly worse if I stop using it, or switch to something else.

Sali Hughes says that you don't need an eye cream and to just use your normal moisturiser ...

I love
Clarins eye contour balm.
And
Kinvara eye serum.

I notice a difference when I use either of these.

This is highly recommended by dermatologists due to the peptide content which has an anti-aging effect.

eye creams are not necessary. It's all smoke and mirrors.
If you have wrinkles, use something with retinol in it - the Olay eye cream is supposed to be good but any face cream with retinol might help.

Other thing is- wear spf50 all day every day, sunglasses and keep out of the sun.
