Eye cream recommendations? I'm 34. Help!

I have noticed over recent months I have been getting worsening wrinkles in the inner corner of my eyes. When I smile it looks like even worse, like crepe paper or very dehydrated skin. I accept fine lines are appearing with ageing (and over 10 years of shift work and a one year old and previously wearing contact lenses and rubbing my makeup off with less care than I should). But how severe these inner creases are becoming before I'm 35 worries me. I was just using body shop drops of youth eye concentrate roller and their vitamin E eye cream, but that isn't doing anything, and I've just bought Olay firming eye serum but I think I might be reacting to it as the area under my lower eyelashes looks puffy/swollen. I'm going to keep going with the Olay for a bit but are there any other creams you can recommend. Not sure if you can see what I mean in the pic. Thanks

The jury appears to be out when it comes to separate eye creams. I use the Ordinary caffeine solution, which is a watery serum, more for puffiness and dark circles, but I also use my normal moisturiser, but a tiiiiiny amount.

Looks quite dry. Have you tried Vaseline at night? And something ultra moisturising/ hydrating for the day, rather than firming or a serum.

I’m 35 and have been using the Olay Deep Hydrating Eye Gel for about a month now. I’ve noticed a difference since I started using it, the skin under my eyes looks brighter and it’s reduced the look of my fine lines.

Thanks all, I'm going to try the hydrating eye gel, see if that makes any difference!
