Eye Cream Recommendations

[kapoentje]

I know, not makeup but tangentially related enough right?

Help meeee. I fear the fine lines.

[CurlyQ284]

I check beautypedia for everything. I went with cereve for night time and the clinique one with spf for daytime.

I also put rosehip oil on at night before the eye cream and face cream. I feel like that does more than anything. I noticed a difference after using it for a week or so.

[mdgirl]

I use the Shiseido eye sunscreen for day.

For when I'm really tired (or, um, hungover) I use the Origins Ginzing eye cream to brighten them up.

[persa]

I like the origins ginzing for day, under makeup. I'm still trying to find my perfect nighttime eye cream.

Ditto checking Beautypedia and ditto CeraVe PM cream. However, keep in mind that you do not need special cream for your eyes and can use your favorite face cream. Eye creams tend to be pricey and you are basically being ripped off. If you already have a face cream you like, save your money and use that.

Remind me, where do you get the rosehip oil?

Staying hydrated is the first step. Currently I use Yes to Blueberries eye cream and Lush's eye cream interchangeably. They're both super moisturizing.

[lovelyshoes]

I swear by the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Complex in the brown packaging. It's the only one that I had repurchased over and over and over. It's not sticky and hydrates perfectly.

You can probably get it at any health food store. I get it on amazon.Be sure to store it in the fridge!

I don't see any eye creams by YtB. Is it the Age Refresh Eye Firming Treatment?

Tarte Maracuja C-Brightener Eye Cream is a holy grail product for me. 1 jar lasts a little shy of 2 months for me.

I don't have too many fine lines in the eye area yet, but I have found that this combo helps reduce puffiness/dark spots (and maybe is helping keep lines away, ha?): OH truth serum, followed by OH Pure Truth Oil, followed by Tarte Maracuja C-brightener eye treatment.

I found rosehip oil at Marshalls.  I love it.

I like Clinique's All About Eyes, and Neocutis Bio Restorative Eye Cream.

I have been working with a sample of this since December and really like it.

I also start with a serum with vitamin C first to help with my circles.

[vanlatte]

Ditto the Origins Ginzing Eye Cream for daytime use. At night I usually use Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream, but also sometimes use Say Yes To Blueberries Eye Cream and Cereve Eye Repair Cream.

In my opinion, you don't really need a special eye cream.

Any ingredients that would be beneficial to the eye area would also be beneficial to the rest of your face. I just make sure all of my skincare is packed with good stuff. I do some extra moisturizing around my eyes so I don't get dry, but that's it.

With that said, some people find that eye creams might be less irritating to sensitive eyes so that's one reason they like to use them. Or they just want to 'cause they like to, which is cool too. I certainly don't think there's anything wrong with eye creams, but if you're getting good ingredients in in other places, I think you're good to go.

Good ingredients to consider including in your routine would be: Vitamin C, retinol/retinoid, hyaluronic acid, AHA/BHA, niacinamide, ceramides, Vitamin E (if it doesn't break you out), and fatty acids (if they don't break you out). And, of course, sunscreen.

Also keep in mind that there are different kinds of moisturizing ingredients. I like to make sure I have some of each in my routine. This talks about the different kinds: blog.skincare-addiction.com/choosing-a-moisturizer/

All About Eyes - Clinique.

I'm definitely drier under my eyes. I dab this on other areas as well.

Skincare addict is my jam, my skin has never looked better.

And I totally agree, I ditched my Origins and clinique eye creams in favor of an antioxidant serum. No reason to buy another product.
