Eye Cream - Men

[newnamesameperson]

Is this an option?  Anyways, I want to get my husband using an eye cream.  Lol for days this is going to happen, but regardless I'm interested.  Any suggestions?  He owns a business and has to visit sites often, and is outside constantly.  He wears sunscreen and sunglasses always, so we've got that covered but I'm thinking eye cream would be something else he might want to consider.  

I use Shiseido's eye creams/serum but I don't think that's a good fit for him.  

Thanks.

DH uses TO's Caffeine serum and my Biore Watery gel for his face.

I got DH this "beauty" box for Father's Day. He likes the eye gel in it, and it would normally cost 36 by its self, so pretty good value. Can't believe it's still in stock.

I would not push for an eye cream and would instead go for an all over moisturizer, which I think will provide more benefits than just an eye cream. Which is not the question you asked, I realize. Also, I would hesitate to make the skin care routine any more complicated as you don't want him to stop using the sunscreen all together.

what do you want the cream to do? Does he have dark circles? dry skin? what?

No dark circles or dry skin but crows feet are beginning...

Good point.

Eye cream knows no gender.

Eye products do not know the specific sex nor gender of the consumer. However, some are marketed towards various groups of consumers.  I'm interested in those for men, and whether they are only applicable to men I'd have to research further.  Nonetheless I'd like to know what other options are available beyond my radar of eye creams which was Shiseido.  


But thanks so much.

I assumed @treediminsional was joking? As opposed to mocking you in some way that required this defensive response.

But, I mean, if you H doesn't require that the label say "for men" then an eye cream with pink and flowers on the label would work equally well on him or a woman. Promise.

Also sex v gender... You refer to him using male pronouns and the word husband, so it's a fair assumption that he identifies as male in terms of gender. I'd make no assumptions about his biological sex though. Gender is correct there.

Eye creams do not know the sex of the customer either, furthermore I wasn't stating she was using the wrong terminology.    I don't think he'd care if it was pink with flowers, however there are products geared toward one gender or another and I'm perfectly fine exploring them.  For example, I'm not white and THERE are so many WHITE PEOPLE's damn products that would work for me HOWEVER, sometimes I'd like to look at the ones geared for my race.  Is there an issue in me asking about those?  I don't think so.  This conversation is ridiculous. 

So when I ask about men's eye cream, I don't need someone to come and attempt to lecture me such as you on the applicability of all eye creams.

LOL, yes...yes it is.    did you not mean your response to treedimensionals joke (which made me laugh...I read it as a profound proclamation type tone) to sound snippy as fuck?  Because it did to me.  Hence my tone in response. 

If you weren't trying to correct her terminology why did you emphasize sex and gender like that? 

Regardless - it was just the first thing in my Participated threads that I clicked on this morning, and your response made me roll my eyes, so you got my pre-caffinated and thus unfiltered retort.  Sorry for that. 

I never did come back and actually answer the question though - so I'll share that I really like the Mario Badascu glycolic eye cream for nighttime.  It's pretty rich so I can't use it during the day (makes my concealer slide off), but I guess a man not trying to put makeup over it could use it whenever.  It moisturizes my undereyes like woah, which seems to minimize my fine lines there.  The tub is likely to last me for the rest of my life too, so it's cost effective.  And gender neutral packaging/marketing for a bonus.

wawa - No, I thought it was an attempt to inform me and well I wasn't having it today. You know the option to roll your eyes and move on...well, I didn't take it. Sigh. As far as my emphasis, my thought was more in line with pointing out either would be silly and it didn't make sense.

Fair enough.  Next time I'll take the roll my eyes and move on option.  Or at least drink my coffee and then decide if I feel the need to get snippy over men's eye cream of all the damn things.
