Tightening/smoothing under eye serum

17 replies

SpamChaudFroid · 16/12/2018 17:28

Any recommendations please? Under eye issue I'd like to tackle is crepeyness, and would like to tighten up the area as much as I can. Currently using Nuxe Mervaillance, but looking for something for night time.

Anyone use Estee lauder Advanced Night Eye Repair Serum? It looks like it might be suitable? And how about those little undereye patch mask thingies?

Ooh, the Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Serum Advanced Elizabeth Arden don't look bad either....

I have genetic eye bags and dark circles 🙄 bloody bane of my life.
I've never found an eye cream that actually works but I do use a mix of almond oil and teatree oil as they're both an anti inflammatory and I use a cold jade roller morning and evening to get rid of any fluid retention.

Have a look at Giorgio Armani Beauty eye serums. I used to use their extreme youth serum for eyes as the results were immediate and clearly visible. It's not cheap though (£120ish)

Google facial yoga.

I use Instantly ageless,tightens bags in 3 minutes or less, lasts well too,i get 5 at a time on ebay, for under £9 and a plasic pouch kind of thing lasts a few times

It's not so much for the dark circles Master, (I've had to make my peace with those), I was more after something to pack nutrients and collagen in overnight?

Garden of Wisdom Eye Contour serum

Sarcelle · 17/12/2018 07:58

Hi Merry , do you use Garden of Wisdom eye serum under eye cream or on its own?

Sarcelle · 17/12/2018 07:59

Oops, too much bold!

MerryBear · 17/12/2018 08:11

I use it under a facial oil I use all over my face including eye area (Dr Alkaitis Elixir).

Sarcelle · 17/12/2018 09:50

I have just bought it. I have been considering it for a while and figure the Christmas season will be a good time to try it. My eye cream (Nuxe) is not cutting the mustard these days.

MerryBear · 17/12/2018 11:46

It’s nice to yourself a wee Xmas treat, hope you like it.

Thanks for the replies, for some reason only Master's reply was showing last night.

I've ordered the EL Advance Night Repair Eye Supercharged Complex.

Garden of Wisdom sounds promising, will have a browse. Has anyone used Skinceuticals? I've been looking for a new serum to use at night. I have oily mature skin, (nice!) so prefer to use the richer/greasier creams at night with a lighter moisturising gel for under make up.

I use Elemis Pro-Collagen Advanced Eye Treatment, stops the crepe-y feeling

Niacinamide Serum, all for under £40!! A giant bargain! That's the type of thing I was looking for, something to layer under a night oil/balm, so perfect! Thanks MerryBear Xmas Smile
