Do you use eye cream?

Desperately need an eye cream/serum in my life! Please let me know what works & what doesn’t!

I’m 23 and my under eyes are a bit sunken in. I look tired without makeup on. Looking for something that is hydrating and perhaps brightening?

My only other option would be filler, so I’m happy to invest in a pricy eye cream if it works well.

I think they make your eyes puffy which makes the skin lax. My mum uses them and has wrinkles, I don’t and have no wrinkling at 44.

I pat my retinol serum on the area very lightly and put a tiny bit of my usual moisturiser on my cheekbone to moisturise them.

I use body shop vitamin e eye cream.

The thing with eye cream is you've to dab it very gently or you just drag or pull the skin which causes bags.

I also use the body shop one try this one I think it has helped my tired looking eyes to be fair.

As other poster stated just dab it on though.

I use it. About the size of a long grain of rice is enough for both eyes.

Currently using Boots No 7, but I also like the Dr Organics eye serum from Holland & Barrett.

I use La Roche Posay Toleraine for moisturising and The Ordinary caffeine for making me look less tired. Both of them are non-irritating. The other eye creams I have tried just irritated my eyes and puffed them up.

Thanks all! Off to check these out

Yeah the product formulation of eye creams can be so weird. Found a few interesting ones that all have fragrance in, who needs something as potentially irritating as fragrance that close to their eyes??

I use the Avon Anew Lifting Dual Eye System which has a gel for your eye lid and a cream for under/ around the eye area in the same pot. It's brilliant. If feels cooling and soothing and definitely moisturises the skin.
