Starting to see the tell-tale signs of too much work and too little sleep in the bags and circles under your eyes? Readers say these eye creams are the best way to banish fine lines, puffiness, and discoloration for good

If the running joke in the office is that you got into another bar fight last night (and lost), it might be time for a little eye cream on those dark circles. 



If you're one of the many women who think eye creams are just another way for the cosmetic industry to get you to buy more skin care products, dermatologist Kenneth Beer, MD, PA, says you should reconsider. The skin around your eye is the thinnest layer of skin on your entire body, and therefore the most sensitive, he says. So using a cream made specifically for your eyes is crucial, especially as you age. 



Skip ahead to see the 14 best eye creams now. 



"Eye creams can, and often do, show results if they are used appropriately and for a long enough time," says Beer. The trick is to find the right eye cream for your skin's needs. (Still skeptical? Check out these before and after pictures of women who used eye creams that worked.) If you feel like you've been duped by the hundreds of eye creams on the market promising to erase your dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines, you probably haven't tried the ones on this reader-approved list. Our reviewers have tested all the potions, creams, and elixirs for the delicate eye area and boiled it down to these 14 that actually work. After you make your pick from this list, see how to incorporate it into your cleansing-moisturizing regimen here,

For an option that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, or perhsps both legs, lol...Sephora sells a line called First Aid Beauty and I really like their 5 in 1 eye cream. I think it is around 30$. 2 others in that range and perhaps lower that I have used in the past and liked are Juice Beautys Green Apple Antioxidant eye cream and 100% Pure Vanilla and Coffee bean. All of these are in pump bottles which I like, and I always find one way or another to get every last bit of product! :)

Okay, great, got any ideas on what we mere mortals can buy?

Eye Creams are just way to expensive and cheap to make..I do like some of them listed..I love others that are not.

great article. I can honestly say that i havent tried any of these products. I am thinking that i am going to check some of these out.

nice article, but I wish there were more products under 30$. It would be a shame to spend over a 100$ and not have much of a result. :P

I have used the Bosica Ag and wasn't impressed. Origins no-puffery works nicely if you put it on in time before you go somewhere. The nest eye creams I have used are Caudalie Premier Cru on the high end and First Aid Beauty (avail at Sephora) 5 in 1 eye cream. The FAB line is great!

some of creams are so hard to find, the rest are so expensive

Many of these are difficult to find in a store.
