Eye-creams or any moisturisers wont fix or eradicate problems, they can only protect against further damage, so get yourself off to a pound shop or failing that Superdrug or Boots and buy the cheapest facial moisturiser you can get your hands on, they're all pretty much the same. Some are light and absorb easily and some are heavier for very parched skin. When using around the eye area take care not to drag the skin, just tap it on lightly with a fingertip
Ensure you're drinking enough fluids as that can help with the dark circles.0 -
i buy the l'oreal range for my other half, face wash, scrub, eye cream and moisturiser. In the past hes used clinique which was nice but we needed to make cut backs and i'm not having the cheaper skin care. Boots no7 do a mens range too which hes likes i bought some travel sizes ones for him to try and will be buying the bigger sizes for him in future. At the moment in boots when you spend £5 on pretty much anything you get a £5 off no7 voucher which you can use on the mens range too making it all more affordable, i tend to split my purchases into lots of smaller transactions so i get more vouchers. If you look on the grab it now board theres a thread about the boots no7 vouchers. Also i notice some of the mens products now contain a small amount of fake take to give you a glow but not enough for you to mess up like a normal fake tanning product.0

Don't know if you can cure dark circles and sagging with creams but brands which have rated men's skin care products are Kiehl's, Boots No.7, Aveda, L'Oreal, I think Clinique, Lush and BodyShop also do products but not sure on anything working- if anything did actually work excellently, no one would buy anything else! The fact that there are so many brands making so many similar promises makes me wonder if any cream actually does what it says on the tin! But think things can help and even the fact that you/he massages a cream onto skin can bring more circulation to an area and sometimes can help the skin tone and colour.
Drink lots of water, eat 5-a-day and sleep well. Dark circles in some cases can be genetic and sometimes theres just nothing you can do (besides go under the knife- not a good idea! not very money saving!)0 -
There are lots of things you can do to help skin problems and things like dark circles and sagging. Alot of life style changes will help, more relaxing and exercise like Yoga and walking will help get a better sleep. Eating lots of water and fruit and vegetables will have a lovely effect on your skin. Or you could just use organic Jojoba Oil which you can get from most health stores. It is really good value and is packed with loads of great vitamins and minerals, plus is really kind to skin.0

I'd go along with the lifestyle tips. Most creams will help a bit. If you want one that will also cover up the wrinkles temporarily Dermalogica Total Eye Care is a good product, but it doesn't really fit in with the money saving thing because it is outrageously expensive. It has a sunblock that will help prevent light damage a bit.Student of the science of beauty0

My DH uses L'Oreal Men Expert eye cream and I have actually noticed a difference in his dark circles. He also had a clarins eye cream a while ago which he said was good, and one of those eye roll on pen things (if you know what I mean!). You shouldn't use normal moisturiser around the eyes as the skin is a lot thinner and delicate.
There's loads of eye creams especially for men on the Boots website (and quite a few seem to have reviews - might help narrow it down a bit for you!) http://www.boots.com/en/Men/Skincare/Anti-ageing-Eye-care/
Edit: Just realised this was an old thread from 2010 that someone has dragged up, I'm sure the OP no longer needs advice by now...DFW by end of June 2016...! LBM June 2011
