Eye Cream Recommendation

8 replies

I’m looking for a recommendation for a good hydrating eye crème.

I have sensitive eczema prone skin and the skin around my eyes is looking crepey.

I don’t enjoy strong smelling products so that rules out anything by Avène. I loved R.E.N Skincare but they’re gone now.

Budget wise I’d love something under £15 but if it can make me look 10 years younger I’ll find the money.

Thank you that’s really helpful and I hadn’t heard of this company before. I will take a look.

I used Cerave Eye Repair after Olay Retinol eye cream wrecked the skin barrier under my eyes. I found it gentle and effective.
I also like the Elemis Collagen eye mask but it’s not cheap and Elemis can be fragrance heavy.

Thank you, having said I don’t like strong smelling products I realise I’m currently using an Elemis Black Cherry cleansing balm, but I did go to Sephora and smell it before buying. The Cerave is probably closest to my budget though so may try that first and work my way up in price.

That is a lovely product- I have the Rose version but haven’t opened it yet!
Maybe see if you can get samples if you’re passing Sephora? Good luck with he creams. 💐

La Roche Posay or Avene can be good if you choose the right one from the sensitive range.

Not too expensive and available in Boots and Superdrug.

Personally I would steer away from anything with retinol in it. I don't have overly sensitive skin but I have used an eye cream with retinol and it caused an issue.
My advice go to your local Boots and speak to the advisor on the Number 7 counter.
I use all number 7 products and I find they work very well and they have a very good price point.
The advisor will be able to give you excellent advice as to what would work well on your skin.
Good luck finding what works for you OP.
