Eye cream

Can anyone recommend a good, light and cheap eye cream?

Hi There,
I like using NIVEA VISAGE ANTI-WRINKLE Q10PLUS EYE CREAM, which can be picked up cheaply from numerous shops including supermarkets!
Also surprisingly L'Oreal mens expert eye creams like Hydra Energetic Eye Cream & the Vita Lift Anti-puffiness moisturising eye cream also work a treat & are often on special / discounted much more than female products but contain pretty much the same ingredients list!

Thanks so much for this - would never have tried the men's stuff.....although I always get blokes' disposable razors!!

I only discovered this myself by mistake......had teased a boyfriend about his 'buggy eyes' so much that he went out & bought some of the L'oreal men expert stuff :eek:
When I next saw him, I complimented him of how well he was looking & he finally confessed to the above & let me try some out.....worked so well I went to the shops, compared the ingredients list to the pricier female versions & found they were the same - but cheaper!! Will be buying that from now on when I want a cheap pick me up ;)

Also try Olay eye cream, its about £10 but lasts for months. I've found it light and absorbs well and doesn't tighten around the eye area (which so many do because they advertise them as "improving wrinkles" but feels uncomfortable.

and if you have a friend that has some clinique bonus time samples of the eye cream rich or moisture surge - then it's free! a tiny pot can last me up to 3months!

I like Avon Ageless Results eye cream - it doesn't make my eyes sting.

Keep bumping into you RoseFairy!

Also recommend Cliniques 'All About Eyes' - it's great!

All about eyes is great as is Chanel Age Delay eye serum (£30 though!).

At the moment, I'm back on the Body Shop elderflower eye gel with a once or twice a week 'eye mask' of Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair for eyes (I get the wee 'tester' pots from eBay for a couple of quid, its excellent).

Ive got boots time delay which seems pretty good. It lasts for ages but maybe thats because i always forget to slap it on!

Can I recommend Superdrug evening primrose eye cream? Best I've ever tried! I've been using it for about 8 years, it has been off the shelves recently (to be repackaged or something) and I am bereft!!! Hope they don't change the formulation. Give it a go, it's only about £2.

p.s. Boots also do an EP eye cream but it's nowhere near as good...

I like liz earle daily eye repair and her smoothing line serum. Lasts absolutely ages too.

You can use the cream you use on your face around your eyes for a super cheap - and easy - option.

I've been doing this, with light and heavier creams, and my eye area is fine, if anything it feels better hydrated than it has in the past with specific eye creams.

Otherwise, All about eyes by Clinique is quite good (but not cheap), or the Aldi eye cream, forget what its called, seems to be a good one too (I've not tried it, but read good things about it)..

Sounds good - def more my price range!! Haven't used a specific eye cream before but reading lots of mag articles re detox over Xmas, it seems to be a basic necessity. Area around my eyes sometimes gets really dehydrated when around air con or central heating...
