Hi everyone!

I am desperate for some help. My undereyes are sooo dehydrated and dry you can see every line and crease through my concealer. I've tried endless eye creams from Sephora, a few oils with no success.

Any suggestions/tips? 

Thanks!

Perhaps you are not drinking enough water? You may need a good exfoliator but I am sorry I don't have one to recommend for around your eye area.

You want your maximum hydration at night. Save your more emollient formulas for when you aren't wearing eye make-up. I love Mario Badescu's Hyaluronic Eye Cream. I have tried much MUCH more expensive, high end products, but keep going back to the Badescu. (not the face cream, but the Hyaluronic Eye Cream.) Sometimes after it absorbs, I'll apply a thick layer of CeraVe in the jar over it. I use both creams on my lids as well, avoiding the tear duct.

I highly recommend eye patches for mornings. Patchology Flash Patches are fabulous. You got 30 pairs of patches (60 total) for $50. That's economical if you break it down.
They provide a soothing surge of hydration.
If I'm feeling really dry, I like Shesido Eye Patches. I use the liquid inside the packet on my face as a plus. You can buy a trial 3pk.
There's less expensive eye patches; those just happen to be my current favorite.
Mornings, after my patches, I like Bobbi Browns eye cream or CeraVe eye cream; They doesn't interfere with my makeup.

I also use facial oils, including in my eye area if I'm just reading or watching Netflix in my downtime.

Hope that is of help. I'm interested to hear what others love as well.

Don't exfoliate under your eyes like Leona suggested. That area is very delicate! Use Eucarin cream overnight until they become hydrated. Also drink water throughout the day :)

I haven't found anything just yet. I've increased my water which is helping a bit. I need to look into that eye cream you mentioned.

You guys are amazing! I'm open to any secrets!!
