TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 9.0*
Why it's great: This eye cream "consistently and effectively works" and will make you "look rested in minutes." Whether you use it as a mask or rub it in as a cream, it "provides a cooling sensation" when you pat it around the eyes. "The feeling is divine," one reader raves. It is "cooling, refreshing and seriously reduces swelling under my eyes." Another "pleased" reader says the "easy to use" product and its "bargain" price "make her eyes happy."

You should try and put some olive oil or castor oil on under your eyes before you go to bed.. It definitely helps! Made from Earth even makes an eye cream which has olive oil in it for use under the eyes called the Olive Night Cream. . .

THANK YOU--with the plethora of creams and claims, it's hard to know what to purchase.

some of these are too expensive for me

by butterfly11 Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 02:12PM Report as inappropriate

Before applying a cream, I would suggest to use a skin roller to create tiny holes in the skin so the cream is delivered to deeper layers of skin. See today's groupon goods deal for derma roller and collagen cream.

I just ordered the MK firming eye creme. I've used it before and my Arbonne one was leaving my eye area all dry. :-( In the mean time I found one by Aardvarkskincarethai. It uses natural ingredients and oils. Loving the difference so far!

Great selections. Eye creams can be quite pricey. But what's important is it's natural ingredients and quality! Cheers! Kaycee (stopping by from Dorco USA)

Eye cream is so expensive. I've heard you can just use your face cream. Does this stuff really help with wrinkles and color? I haven't seen anything yet that can.

Some make-up artists have told me you shouldn't need a separate cream for your eyes--that a good moisturizer can be used anywhere. Any comments. Kendall

by kendallmalloy Friday, July 6, 2012 at 09:59AM Report as inappropriate

If I ponied up 165 bucks for an eye cream, the stuff had better make the area around my eyes look like a teenager's again. I don't know anybody who can afford to spend that much money on just a single skin care product.

by BengalsGal Thursday, July 5, 2012 at 04:09AM Report as inappropriate

Just make sure whatever product used on the skin has natural ingredients. Chemicals in products are toxic and cause more problems than they cure. Treat skin issues from the inside out. No alcohol,enough sleep, staying well hydrated, eating well , no caffeine will do more than any cream on the market. Most offer little help so spend your money on super foods that will make a difference in your skin!

My comment got posted before I could finish. I was gonna say that while I\'m sure these products are great, how about some stuff we can actually afford?

I've been using Sevani Eye Repair Age Defying Eye Creme with great success for the last few months. My giant puffy under eye bags are gone as are my dark circles. I'm really excited though by the fact that these products are also 100% natural, cruelty free, vegan, fragrance free, GMO free and totally non toxic! Many of these brands listed here do test on animals, use animal ingredients, toxins, chemicals and more to get their "results" and I just can't handle that w/my sensitive skin (and heart!). Anyone into good products with great results that are all natural too should definitely try Sevani. You can buy direct from their site or they also sell through third party resellers like The Skin Specialist and Truth In Aging - so no matter where you live you can get these awesome natural beauty products!

by ginney_harris Thursday, May 3, 2012 at 09:16AM Report as inappropriate

I've been thinking about getting an eye cream because I've noticed that the skin on my eyelids is too soft and I don't want my eyes to start looking too hooded and this article gave me really good direction and I'm not so entirely lost when I finally decide to purchase an eye cream, which will be very soon!

Awesome! I need a good eye cream!

by lisiana_de_bem_justino Saturday, April 28, 2012 at 08:09PM Report as inappropriate

Why are eye creams always so expensive?! Probably because it's such a common problem and people are money hungry. Seriously... my little eye moisturizer I have was 9$, it's a tiny little tub of it.

by catalinahx Thursday, April 26, 2012 at 08:47PM Report as inappropriate

I think Avon eye products work better than $100 eye creams I have tried and I've never paid more an $30 - $35 for any of them. I am shocked not to see them here. I don't sell the stuff or anything, I just buy it and love it (plus they run good sales all the time). My favorite is the Anew Ultimate Contouring Eye Sytem. This stuff rocks! Gets rid of wrinkles and firms the eye skin area. Ladies over 40 shouldn't leave the house without using it first. And, if you remember to put it on at night, you wake up feeling like a new person when you look in the mirror.

I have problems with dark circles. You know, the type that begins in the inner corner of the lower eyelid. The color is usually purple, sometimes red. Does anyone know of a eye product that can eliminate this ugly eye problem?

by 4getu123 Wednesday, April 11, 2012 at 06:49AM Report as inappropriate

I haven't even heard of several of these brands! I found Derma Doctor Wrinkle Revenge eye cream to be the best. Even eliminates my dark circles!

by tallredamanda Wednesday, April 4, 2012 at 06:17AM Report as inappropriate

I have yet to find any eye product that eliminates dark circles, and I have tried a lot of them. So, I have a new list to consider. I have to say the violet scent of the Origins No Puffery really put me off, and it didn't do anything. It would really help if the product reviews said if the products were cruelty-free. Fragrance free would help, too. You'd save me a lot of time researching companies.

by TinkerBelles Friday, March 30, 2012 at 02:14AM Report as inappropriate

A lot of these cost so much because there really is a LOT of science and research that goes into these products. I work in the skin care industry and we sell Obagi Elastiderm ($99) and SkinCeuticals AGE Eye Complex ($85) like they're gumballs. A high quality product can really make a difference.

Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog.

Why are eye serums so freaking pricey? It seems to me like the beauty industry jacks up the price on a common beauty concern. It's kind of sad really. There's no way I would ever be able to afford any of those serums. I found a cheap $9 cucumber eye moisturizer and that's what I've been using. Wish I could afford some of these listed though. :/

Oh gosh, I would love to try anything from La Mer.

I am using an eye cream which is more cheaper than those products in here, and it works fine with me, but i want to use other eyecream but im afraid that i dont have that much money to buy one, i really have a bad problem on my under eye area. I want to try olay products on my eye, i know it will be good on my eye.

by geli_an Monday, March 12, 2012 at 07:34AM Report as inappropriate

I have conflicting things about whether or not to use an eye cream I think a good eye cream can at least reduce puffing.

by powerwoman033 Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at 11:57PM Report as inappropriate

I've always had great luck with iS Clinical eye creams and recently I've fallen in love with their newest brand, iS. Their Restorative Eye Complex should have been on this list. Bad news: it's really hard to find- I can only find this brand on the Skinterra website, Good news: when I loaded up on iS products at Skinterra they were having a promo and I got a Free Essentials Kit which was awesome!

There is no point. And also I've heard from many people that eye creams stretch the sensitive skin around the eye and can cause bagginess after a lot of use.

by Alisunshine Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 09:36AM Report as inappropriate

I don't find this very useful. These products are very expensive especially in those tiny bottles! I understand if you have really big dark circles, but otherwise, what's the point?

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! :)

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!

There are NO creams that will get rid of wrinkles or puffy eyes. I tried everything because I had puffy eyes in my 20's. When they looked really bad in my 40's, I went to a plastic surgeon to take care of the problem. Please don't waste your money. Ignore the hype in TV ads and from cosmetic gals. I've found that Olay Regenerist Serum is a good moisturizer for the face and around the eyes, just to keep them from looking dry. Save your money and go to a board certified plastic surgeon, or to a good dermatoloist for a temporary solution.

by ronist Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 09:33AM Report as inappropriate

How many users actually use these eye creams, I wonder? I've never seen a dermatologist yet who didn't just recommend using a normal moisturizer around my eyes, assuming the ingredients were safe. I'll have to compare ingredients and see if there's a significant difference. Anybody have great luck with one of these?
