Image Vital C Hydrating Recovery Gel, and it has a yummy orange smell too!
Definetely the Avocado Eye Cream by Kiehl’s!
I second. I am 26 so I don’t need an eye cream that does super fancy things. The Avocado Eye Cream is wonderful. Hydrates any dry areas around my eyes and makes my skin so happy if I just had to scrub waterproof mascara off.
glad to read this. I’ve only had those small sample packets (hard to tell much) but I’ll give this a purchase now!
Third/fourth!:)
MARIO BADESCU HYALURONIC EYE CREAM.
This is *very* rich. The tiniest amount goes a long way and it’s affordable compared to some that I’ve seen. I’ve been using it for months and have barely made a dent. I love this stuff!
I love Mario Badescu products! May have to give this one a try 🙂
I suppose this doesn’t count as a cream, but tapping a tiny bit of pure argan oil into that areas around my eyes seems to work really well to keep that delicate skin from drying in the winter!
Ditto to argan oil. I love that stuff!
third!
The DHC Concentrated Eye Cream is the moist hydrating one i’ve tried so far i’ve repurchased it twice.
Right now i’m using extra repair eye cream from Bobbi Brown i haven’t seen any change wont be repurchasing that again but I will try her other one i also want to try the Orgins ginzing eye cream
Lancome’s Genifique eye cream is nice, and they’re pretty free with large samples of it 😛 That’s probably the only eye cream I’ve really tried!
Paula’s Choice Skin Recovery Mask. It can be left on overnight and it’s so hydrating, but still doesn’t cause milia (at least on my skin).
I used to be able to use Clarins- balm eye cream.
Now I have to use Sisley’s eyecream. I am going ot get samples of all the ones described above. Because Sisley is wonderful…but so so so expensive. It has been the only one that has worked on me and I have tried many samples of many brands.
My favourite is the one from Origins with Mimosa in it. It’s called Starting Over Age Erasing eye cream. It doesn’t erase anything but it’s nicely hydrating without being greasy. I also like the one I have from Bobbi Brown.
I’ve tried many eye creams in the last couple years and mostly they do NOTHING but occasionally burn my eyes.
I continued on my quest and a couple months ago picked up the Body Shop Vitamin E eye cream when it was on sale. I went on a trip a couple weeks ago and got a facial and had listed “puffy eyes and fine lines” on my chart. The girl came in and was like, “WHERE??” I really looked at my eyes and my fine lines are EFFING GONE. Completely. Entire and TOTALLY.
Philosophy Hope in a Tube….very hydrating and never bothers my super sensitive eyes 🙂
Origins eye doctor or bobbi brown hydrating eye cream.
I love Clinique All About Eyes – it´s feels light, the gel texture is refreshing and it does the job!
I have really dry skin and hereditary dark circles so eye creams are definitely the items I love buying the most. Out of all the ones I’ve tried the most moisturizing were the Shiseido Benefiance, Shiseido White Lucent and ROC Complete Lift Eye Cream. These have definitely helped my eye area. ROC has done wonders at thickening the skin and really hydrating it, and it’s really reasonable priced as well. Shiseido ones are definitely great but definitely more expensive than ROC .The Benefiance one targets wrinkles and dry skin and the White Lucent one targets dark circles. At the moment I am rotating between the ROC and Shiseido White Lucent. My mom swears by the Benefiance one. She is 47, has dry skin and no wrinkles around her eyes.
Origins ginzing is hydrating and really perks up tired eyes.
I’ve tried many, but most have burned/stung the eye area (not the eye itself, but the delicate skin), so I’ve been simply using pure vitamin E oil, or a vitamin E stick. Philosophy Miracle Worker Anti-Aging Cream is great for actual “issues”, however I don’t feel it really moisturizes. I do have drier skin, though, and require alot of hydration.
My regular moisturizer with a drop of rosehip oil. Why buy a separate eye cream when you can just hack your regular moisturizer?
good idea!
I rely on rosehip oil to make my moisturizer richer as well. I usually go for 4 drops when it’s really cold and 1 drop when it’s warm. I think it’s more practical than rotating 2-3 different moisturizers throughout the year, it also helps you use up products before they go bad.
I LOVE rosehip oil, it is wonderful even for pimples, it makes them heal faster 😀
I agree! It helps fade post-pimple marks too.
avon anew genetics line, amazing stuff
Currently obsessed with L’Occitane Eye Balm.
Clinique All About Eyes Rich. Hmm…that’s the only one I can remember for most hydrating…
The Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Control Cream. I don’t need help in the wrinkle department since I am only 19, but this cream was insanely moisturizing. I definitely want to buy it again.
I have tried numerous eye creams and have yet to find one I really love…I have Bobbi Brown’s Extra Repair Eye Cream and although it is hydrating it is nothing special. I have dark circles, dry around the eyes and am starting to get laugh lines around my eyes. If anyone has suggestions please let me know!
I’m 20 with combo skin, so I can’t really use a super hydrating eye cream. I used Origins Plantscription eye cream and it was so thick and rich that it gave me milia under the eyes. I should have purchased the equivalent treatment instead because it’s supposed to be lighter!
I’m using the Roc Retinol Correxion Eye Cream and so far it’s pretty hydrating. I’m definitely willing to try something else once this one runs out though.
Shiseido THE SKINCARE Eye Moisture Recharge!
Dermalogica – intensive eye repair or age reversal eye complex…. couldnt live without them
