Wrinkles, sagging and fine lines can appear around your eyes seemingly overnight. But what do you do about them? New York-based dermatologist Dr. Dennis Gross (and founder of his eponymous skin care line) told us to start early. “Prevention is key and your 20’s is a good time to think about it," he says. "You should begin using products that contain antioxidants and other beneficial ingredients. I always tell my patients that like a car, it is best to practice good maintenance throughout the course of its life versus waiting until something goes wrong to try to fix it. Eye cream is a good product to invest in at this age. The skin around the eye area is prone to a phenomenon called solar elastosis—the breakdown of collagen and elasticity. Because skin in this area is so thin, you need a specially formulated cream that is both strong yet gentle,” explains Dr. Gross. We took a look at three eye creams to invest in to keep your peepers looking young and crow's feet-free.
1 Neutrogena Ageless Resoratives Antioxidant Eye Cream
This creamy formula goes on easily and actually feels like it's filling in your lines. A triple blend of antioxidants neutralizes 99% of free radicals that can occur from sun, stress, and age.
2 Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair
You might have to save up for this one, but the silky serum really does minimize fine lines and puffy eyes. Use it sparingly and make sure to tap the serum around your eyes for the full effect.
3 Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum
Unlike other eye creams that are specifically for night, this serum can be applied morning and night, which makes you feel like you're getting plenty of extra benefits. It contains a concentrated form of amino-peptide and B3 complex to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

I have the estee lauder night repair. I have to say, I am not impressed. You can find something better for less. I have seen many reviews of people saying the same. I have yet to try Neutrogena and Olay.

I use Bare Minerals eye cream and love it. I'm only 19 so I don't need anything expensive (I think bare minerals is about $15) with a crazy formula.

Aaaah, I'm starting to get scared!! I'm only 17 (well, in 3 days), and half filipina, so I look like I'm 12 years old - If I'm lucky. But starting regular use of eye cream in your 20's? Whoa! I only use my Clinique one.. ''sometimes''. I guess I'll have to get used to this!

My all time favorite eye cream is 100% Pure Coffee Bean Eye Cream. I've tried high street and premium eye creams but I always ended up going back to this. It just brightens up the eyes, reduces swelling and diminishes fine lines. It really works and it smells OMG to die for.

I'm a Clinique All About Eyes girl but right now I am rocking 100% Pure's Acai berry eye cream. (having just finished my Yes o Blueberry) I really like it but it separates, which is kind of gross.

I love Yes To Blueberries eye treatment! Its light and gentle, perfect eye cream to use as early prevention.
