Eye creams for fine lines and dark circles

8 replies

CrawlingFromShitshowToAfterglow · 16/01/2026 22:10

I'm mid-40s and have been noticing fine lines under my eyes and crows feet. I also have dark circles. I know they can't be fixed by a cream, but I need something that will brighten my eyes and smooth the skin. What is the best eye cream?

I saw Filorga Time Filler Eyes recommended on Mumsnet previously, but I can't seem to find it from a reputable company - even Amazon don't stock it anymore. I'm looking at the Lancôme Génifique Eye Cream, but not sure if that's a waste of a lot of money.

I'm so confused!

Following!

la mer eye cream was recommended but it’s hideously expensive and I’m not 100% sure it actually did anything

I use Cellexia based on reading this - really like how it sinks in. It has only been a few weeks but I’ve had a few comments saying how well I’m looking so think it’s doing its job.

Edited to say it’s not cheap but the bottle is going down very slowly.

@IDontLikePinaColadas - Thank you. This looks really good. Did you order directly from their website, or from elsewhere?

Castor oil works for me
I use a tiny bit and pat it around my eyes and on my neck
Its v sticky but okay in small amounts

I ordered directly from them - I’m going to get 2 or 3 next time as the discount is pretty good but I wanted to give it a go before committing to that many.

Be careful with Cellexia cos you are likely to get stung with a £40 plus customs fee.
