Eye cream recommendation please

Looking for help with my tired-looking, lined under eye area.

I’m 53 and had treatment for cancer 5 years ago. All good, I’m well now, but I feel very self-conscious about how lined my eyes now are. And they are even worse when I’m tired!

I fully acknowledge that I am lucky to be here and have this to worry about, but can anyone recommend a good eye cream that will help minimise the wrinkles?

I don’t want to look younger, just less perma-knackered.

It may be something that only a cosmetic treatment will help, no idea what that might be though. I’m not averse to that, but I suspect that route will be out of my budget.

Anyway, all suggestions gratefully received!

I had an episode of dry skin on an eyelid recently and was looking for something other than hydrocortisone to put on it.

I googled the heck out of it and ended up buying something called Blink Better for around £10 for a tiny tube of highly moisturising cream/gel made of natural ingredients. You only need a teeny bit and it spreads and soothes and is lovely. No scent to it. The itchy bit has long cleared up and from the start i was using it on both eyelids because it was so gentle and so rich. I swear i saw a difference in overall skin texture after a week or so so i'm going to continue with it.
