Decent eye cream

Hi I am in my early 30's but feel my kids have aged me massively. I've attached two pics one with straight face and other smiling. Any recommendations for eye cream? What will help apart from filler??

Strivectin are excellent for eye creams. I use the one in the yellow tube, but this one would probably be best for you.

If you have a TK Maxx nearby, you can often find them much much cheaper.

On a lower budget, Olay Ultimate Eye Cream is really good, and has a kind of light diffusing effect.

Plain old vitamin k cream will help with the darkness u see your eyes! Also make sure you're wearing a daily spf all over x

I'm currently using a Balance Me one. It's called wondertint or something, and I think it has correctors in.

Usually I use the Otto Rose one from Dr Organics and I like it, but I'd be ok with using one from Boos, Superdrug, Aldi or Lidl.

A corrector will help.

Sorry not sure what plain old vitamin K creams are Blush I thought we shouldn't use spf near the eye area so I always miss this but

You can get eye creams with correctors in? I had no idea. I use a Mac concealer and it does help massively. The photo was without anymake up so you can see the wrinkles

Awhh sorry!

Specifically- Reviva Labs Vitamin K Cream, you can get it on Amazon or eBay!

I've always used spf under my eyes. I had a quick Google there and it's probably safe to use a specific under eye SPF. Just Google it, there is tons!

A cheap tip worth trying is to make a cup of camomile tea, let the tea bag cool down and then use it around your eye area. It refreshes, brightens and helps also with puffiness if you have it.

Watch Nadine Baggott's YouTube videos on eye creams.
An eye opener if you'll pardon the pun.
Very few do anything, most of those that do something moisturize and blur, why should we pay X for brand Y's eye cream when brand Y's bog standard moisturizer would be about twenty times cheaper and perfectly ok near the eyes.
She does name a few that she thinks are credible- one of which is an el cheapo Olay one. (I think that one has a bit of a tint so covers the dark shadows) it's possibly the one pp has linked.
I like Kiehl's creamy avocado which really hydrates.

I should've said in the OP I'm most concerned about the fine lines. Anything to
Help the darkness would be a bonus but my eyes are deep set so I don't often. Get bags @CorrBlimeyGG @rjacksmiss @ILoveShula @LaBellina @Geamhradh
