L'Occitane immortelle reset. They do both an eye serum & face serum in the range. It's lovely. Called a good night's sleep in a bottle.

Having read all the blurb by beauty experts and dermatologists - nothing really works. You can use ordinary moisturiser to keep your skin soft. No one needs a special eye cream (Sali Hughes' opinion.)

Sunglasses whenever it's slightly sunny for a start will help.
Other than that it's retinol- try Medik8 - good brand, or it's surgery!

I use Medik8

Look at Medicube or Dr Melaxin, both have excellent eye creams & are well under your budget, I buy all my skincare through Tiktok Shop.

I'm using vitamin C QandA from holland and baratt, upper lids, as mine were starting to look wrinkly and a bit saggy, and it's worked a treat. Yes, I moisturise every morning, plus serum, but the lids needed a little extra and I was considering an upper bleph. I can now put it off. I use Vitaskin Vit C eyecream under the eyes, and I don't have any wrinkles yet, both cost around £10-15 each, and neither make my eyes stream or cause my makeup to slide off. The QandA is greasier, and the Vitaskin is quite mattifying, both of them seem to be doing their job. I'm 49.
