Under eye cream

[mnirishgirl]

Does anyone have a recommendation for an under eye cream that they love?  I've randomly used one/not used one over the past several years (mostly samples I've received).  I'm 33 and I think between no longer having twenty-something skin and having an infant (i.e. less sleep) I need to find a good product.  I'm open to something that I'd use at night or something that could be worn under makeup during the day.  What has worked for you?  I just want my eyes to look less tired.  I live near several sephoras, ultas, lush stores, department stores or could order online.  Thanks!

I use Avon Anew Genics eye cream. It seems to work pretty well. I buy it off eBay, it's pretty cheap that way.

I am 33 and use it more for preventative measures, but I use clinique all about eyes.

I've really liked both Burt's Bees radiance eye cream and the Acure stuff.

I use Bliss The Youth As We Know It eye cream. I like it a lot.

I think tea bags coupled with a good concealer probably do more than eye cream does.

Do you have a concealer you recommend?  I currently just use the bare minerals stuff which works ok.

I have never been able to figure out a concealer that covers, but looks skin-like enough that it doesn't just make me look more haggard under the eyes.

I use Philosophy eye cream which everyone here hates. But you can also usually just use your regular moisturizer and use that around the eye area as long as it is not irritating. Also, drink tons of water. That has a huge effect on the skin on your eyes and face.

I've really liked other Philosophy products (I use the purity face wash and the hope in a bottle mosturizer).  I didn't realize it was hated around here   What is the eye cream called?

You know that when you put on moisturizer you're just making dead skin cells more wet?

Your epidermis is DEAD.

I think under eye cream is a rip off. I have decided is does nothing.

If you think that, you're using the wrong eye cream.

I use Revive Moisturizing Renewal Eye Cream and love it, but it is pricey.  I also apply my Retin-A in the eye area.  These are more for lines than anything else though.  


For looking less tired, lifestyle factors like getting enough sleep, tackling any allergies you have, healthy diet, etc. are going to have a bigger impact than a cream.

I use this one. It's expensive, but lasts FOREVER.  I can't even remember the last time I had to buy a new bottle.

eta: I also have this one, which is good too.  I just feel like the other one has more visible effects for me. www.sephora.com/hope-in-a-tube-eye-lip-cream-P12090?skuId=503102

I like Origins Eye Doctor. A few years ago, I got these super dry patches around my eyes and I tried about five other lotions and creams before Origins, it was the only thing that got rid of the patches.

Someone here recommended Paula Begoun's products; in the booklet that came with my samples I ordered from her website, it said that most eye cream is no different than regular face lotion, just a way to up the price. I'm not sure how accurate that is, but I think about reading that every time I see or hear about eye creams.

You know what looks worse than wet dead skin? Dry dead skin.

You know what looks worse than wet dead skin? Dry dead skin.

And what looks even worse than dry dead skin: seeing the living skin, all raw and weepy-looking right on the surface
