Need a Good Eye Cream

TJ,

Of course the many consultants out there are going to try to convince you that you need an expensive product that they sell because it's better...that's like saying one brand of clothing is better than another. There's simply too many varieties and personal preferences that impact our perceptions.

I've tried to switch from expensive department store skin care products to more natural, less expensive products. It's been fun to save money and try different products that are hopefully better for my skin. I've also been aware of pthalates and parabens in products and try to avoid them since I still plan on having more children and would like to avoid potentially dangerous chemicals.

If you want to find an around-eye cream that has fewer potentially harmful ingredients here's a link to a cosmetics database put together by the environmental working group...
http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/browse.php?category=arou...

There are hundreds of products out there! The EWG website is also very, very, very cautious...so I would probably use any product that had a green or yellow dot next to them, and avoid the red dots!

I use an apricot seed oil based lotion (i think it's by mychelle) and it's super inexpensive and lasts a long time. It's hard to find, but Super Supplements carries that brand, although I've had to buy sample sizes at times because they sell out of the larger jars.

As I read the answers I had to laugh because so many want to sell you their product. I sell Avon too and not to knock Avon but I have found the best face and eye cream is plain hemoroid cream. You can find it at the dollar store. I read once that a actress used this to stay young and I tried it. It works believe it or not. Hope this helps.

I like Burt's Bees royal jelly eye cream. It's relatively inexpensive. A little goes a long way, and it's thick, so it lasts a long time.

I just wanted to let you know that if you decide to stick with Clinique they have a GWP soon and you should presale now because their prices are going up on Oct. 1st at Macy's. I just found that out today when I went to the counter for something.

TJ, I sell a product unlike anything else on the market. it is so new that it is not yet nationally marketed yet but does have a patent pending on it. It is called Naturella. It is 100% natural. It is a toner/ moisturizer all in one. It is the best stuff you will ever use. It has made my skin so smooth and even that I don't have to use foundation anymore. My neighbor has started using it after using olay regenerist for 5 years and said she will never use anything else. It has reduced the fine lines around my eyes to almost invisible. I am 43 and everyone thinks I'm 10 years younger. You can go to the website at naturellaskin.com and look at it. I am willing to send you a free sample to try if you are interested. let me know. J.

Jojoba oil is what I use for my face, under my eyes and on my body. I had a facial this weekend and I was told that my skin looks beautiful which was a surprise because I have a history of having very dry skin. Jojoba oil is less expensive than face/eye creams and natural. Most lotions have chemicals in them that are harmful for us. Jojoba is light and soaks in quickly so you are able to put on make up afterwards. Give it a try!

Wanted to respond sooner - but I was having server problems!

St. Yves Eye Stress Gel is my miracle. It's inexpensive - it reduces swelling and softens wrinkles.
I also use it under my chin if my face seams puffy!

TJ,
Have you tried Avon's Anew products? I am an Avon Representative and I love our newest eye cream! It has a day and a night cream, separated in the jar and is the first and only product made for the eyes with SPF in it! No other company has created an eye cream with SPF! I would love to get you a sample. I have been using it for about a month now and I love the results. Fine lines and wrinkles are no longer as apparent and when I use the night cream, I wake up in the morning looking wide awake and alert already! Please email me if you'd like a sample: ____@____.com

Hello,
I am an avon representative and we have lots of eye products that have a large price range. If you go to www.youravon.com/adoerfler you can look at all of them. They range from $11 to $34. The Liiv Botanicals is all natural.

I really like aveeno age defying eye cream. I am young but it never hurts to use it right?:)

Please do not buy into the huge cosmetic line of BS.:)
All you really need is a good & natural cream or lotion made of plants, fruits, & oils. Store bought cosmetics are made from ingredients you can buy at the hardware store! These can actually encourage these problems you are having! I do not mean to self spam but I am all about this kind of thing. I own a candle, bath, & body business that is all handcrafted from natural rescources & ingredients. It is a small local online shop. Nothing huge but you may get some good leads by reading some cosmetic info on my listings (you need paypal to purchase on this website. It is free but will take a second to sign up https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_home-merchant)

I hope I have helped in a rambling sort of way

I too was on the lookout for great skincare. Philosophy has a wonderful eye cream, Hope in a Tube. The cleanser and moisturizer(Hope in a Jar) are also great. You can find it a Nordstrom, QVC, or Philosophy.com.

Hello TJ -

I work for a direct sales company that sells skin care products and we have a great eye cream - if you'd like to know more about the products and pricing you can reach me at ____@____.com - and I can give you more information

I use the Neutrogena eye serum (I read that "serum" was better than just "cream," though that still may be bogus)...but I like how it feels. I put it on, and then a face moisturizer on my whole face (with spf).

You might consider the Mary Kay eye cream, too. It's really thick...too thick for me, but it will keep the area well moisturized.

Hi TJ - I'm a firm believer of Arbonne's eye cream!! This is the specific product in their line, actually, that got me sold on the company in the first place! It got rid of my dark circles and bags in no time, and people noticed, it was not just in my head. I liked the product so much, I spent weeks researching the products and the business and decided to go into business myself sharing it with others. It's a combination of nature along with science (a strictly natural product may be healthy for you, but if it doesn't give you results what good is it?). The best products are those that combine the best of nature along with technology to actually deliver the good ingredients where they need it in your skin's layers.

Arbonne's eye cream is pthalate, and paraben free. The eye cream is very concentrated so a little goes a long way, and my eye cream lasts anywhere from 6-9 months using is consistently day and night. So it's a great value.

Email me offline with your address, and I'll send you a free sample to try at home, so you can see for yourself.

Good luck TJ! There are lots of products out there to choose from. Hopefully you can find one that meets your needs/budget/and philosophy.

Go to Grocery Outlet RIGHT NOW because they have tons of eye creams (or they did yesterday) for super cheap that you could try out. I don't personally know because I haven't tried any, but that is probably a really inexpensive option. They do have several name brands too..

I like the pure "Vitamin E oil" I get from the Pharmacy for 12 dollars. If you find it too tick just mix it with any moisturizer you have handy.

Hi TJ - I read your question and then had a chuckle as I read response after response of someone trying to get you to buy their product!! Teehee. Listen, if you like clinique, and you think it works well, then keep on buying it! The other women that were offering you a chance to try things were going to charge you the $30-something you pay now for something you like anyways!! Clinique also lets you return, at least they did back when I used to buy it. Too often as mother's we forget about ourselves and put everyone else ahead of us..i know I do. Lord knows I DESPERATELY need to buy some clothes. $30 bucks really isn't that much, and it will probably last you at least 2 months, so that's really $15 a month. Does your husband get coffee in the morning? Do you? I mean, coffe drinks are CRAZY expensive! $15 bucks is like 3 drinks! Don't feel bad about doing something for you. L.

All that being said... those other products probably work great....I am not dissin' anyone's products or jobs. I am just pointing out that if she is going to have to spend that much anyways, she might as well go with something she knows and loves.
Good night

Good morning TJ,
There are a lot of creams out there, but the main function of most of them is to hold in the moisture that is already there. Sometimes it is better to take a "Beauty from the inside out" approach. Drinking plain old water is the simplest and cheapest way to hydrate your skin, plus it's good for all your organs as well! Adding omega-3 fats to your diet will help as well, things like flax oil or ground flax seed, walnuts, fish oils, etc. Cutting out trans fats and cutting back on sugar and highly processed foods will, over time, start to give your skin a younger glow as well. Hope this helps! If you would like more info on a healthier lifestyle/diet please contact me, I am a Wellness Educator for Juice Plus and would love to talk with you!

I use Mary Kay products for my skin care. Not the make up but skin care line called Time wise. Very good!
I also use Roc cream on my face and neck at night and sun screen always!
I'm almost 43, when I tell people, they always say NO WAY!!
They think I'm in my early 30's. :-)

I like the MyChelle line that you can get at Super Supplements. The one for older skin with the pumpkin cleanser and repair creme really helps my dryness.

By the way $30 for a good jar of creme is not that expensive, believe it or not. I found really great cremes at $90 for 3 oz which I thought was outrageous. That I won't spend, but $30 is reasonable.

The other products I liked but don't use any more because I'm trying to be more careful about toxins, but I liked for dryness was Mary Kay. Their Formula 1 line was very hydrating. You get a lot for the money.

I am always searching for the best skin products, and I also like Clinique. I recently just ordered one of those info-mercial products. (I was up late with the kids in bed and constantly searching for a look younger good skin product) I ordered that Natural Advantage by Jane Seymour....I just got it today so I will let you know how it works....I am hoping for fabulous young looking results... I am addicted to aging creams and always searching for the best one for the best price!!!

Mary Kay has the best!
And I am not even a consultant.

It provides intense moisturization and minimizes fine lines and wrinkles. It is $30.00 for 0.5oz. The second is TimeWise Age-Fighting Eye Cream. It is formulated to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and is $26.00 for 0.65oz. The third is TimeWise Targeted Action Eye Revitalizer. It diminishes dark circles and depuffs under the eyes. It is $35.00 for 0.34oz. I know you had said that you had a hard time spending so much on a such a little bottle. I want to tell you that the Mary Kay products that I've mentioned above come with a 100% money back guarantee and that a little bit goes a long way! I use the Firming Eye Cream at night because it is so thick. I feel like I'm getting a spa treatment overnight! I use the Age-Fighting Eye Cream in the morning under my makeup and it goes all day without feeling dry...and I have very thin, very dry skin!

I love Burt's Bees Radiance Day Cream. It's not specifically an eye cream, but I use it around my eyes, neck and shoulders too. The smell is wonderful too. My husband loves it.

Best of luck,
Sarah

TJ, Hi, I'm an Independent Consultant with Arbonne, originally just to get the products at a discount...and live for the eye cream and day and night serum!

Also, my website is www.J..myarbonne.com I offer the 29.00 wholesale buy in which gets you 35% off for an entire year.It does seem expensive, if you take a look, but I assure you, it will last 3-4 months!
