Lets Talk Eye Creams...

I need some help here! I never really used eye creams until recently. I've always had good skin so I didn't put too much effort into it - if it's not broken, don't fix it, right? but the last, I don't know, 4 months or so I've been trying to remember to use an eye cream. I'm 27, 28 in august. I do have slightly dark circles but I know there's not too much I can do about that. it's the crows feet in pictures that drive me crazy! I'm really considering botox but please no negative comments about that.. that's not what this thread is about. thank you in advance for respecting that!

so anyway, eye cream. I used a vitamin k serum from sephora years ago that the sales girl recommended to me and it was great! but I have no idea of the name and I couldn't find the exact product by memory which leads me to believe it's changed or discontinued. I've used samples of benefit's it's potent and I think dr brandt dark circle serum. I currently use simple eye cream on a daily basis. I guess it's ok? I don't think it really does anything.. I like to use pure vitamin e oil at night in place of eye cream but I find it difficult to deal with partly bc I have cats that like to get right up in my face, lol. same with alba un-petroleum jelly, which I think plumps the skin up nicely, but I get cat hair stuck to me and the kitties get sticky.

oh yeah, I've been using a sample of mario badescu hyaluronic eye cream, too. I browsed ulta yesterday and there were just too many choices and I don't want to spend the money on something without researching first. I'd reallyyyy like to keep it on the less expensive side unless it really works MIRACLES on these crows feet. so, taking that into consideration, what would you guys recommend? thanks!! :)

I want botox for my crows feet! next to my eyes.. I just feel like my lines there when I smile are soooo deep. I hate it. that's why I like to use oil in that area but it's just difficult to deal with. I will take a look at the eminence serum you suggested, thanks!

Are you in the UK or US Alyse? Here in the UK I use a product called wrinkle freeze serum by Balance Active Formula, it's has written on the bottle 'needle free alternative' with a snake venom like peptide, it's fab. You might be able to get it off Amazon, its only £2.99. I then use Laura Renew Q10 eye cream from Lidl £1.99. I'm 39 and have only a few eye lines. I would be happy to send you either if you can't find it where you are :)

Cool info Sarah.. I have a sample from dr Brandt? It's almost similar to that but like so much more money and I haven't tried it yet so..

I like Origins Plantscription Anti-Aging eye cream! It's not overly pricey, and it works!
