All about Eye Care, Eye Cream

[Dreamie]

I guess i couldn't stay very long with the MAC, as i've fine lines to target as well, along with puffiness and dark circles. Sounds awful, right? hehe.. age is catching up with me I can't load my eyes with another moisturising eye cream either, as i'm really prone to milia.

Has anyone rid their milias through treatment at the doctors/ salons?

I'm also trying out la prairie essence of skin caviar eye complex. Didn't see much improvement, and as it's more of a serum, it's not as moisturising. I can use an eye cream on top of it, but am afraid that i will overload the area and cause milias.

I tried the la prairie before and found that it does nothing for me and it's too greasy

of course....Meow finishes 3 tube of this....if I am not wrong, $230..

OK, Day 2 of Sjal. No dramatic improvements, but I had a bad night last night - didn't sleep too well (maybe because I watched 3 Lord Of The Rings features back to back) and I was expecting my eye area to look like @#$! when I woke up today, but surprisingly, it was OK. Some of the deeper wrinklies are also less obvious now.

By the way....not strictly and eye treatment, but I really love By Terry's Skin Enhancer in #2 (Glowing Rose) applied around the eye area. (Yes, it's safe to do that!! In fact, By Terry encourages you to use it around the eye area.)

I think it's the pink tones in the enhancer, but it immediately brightens up my eye area and helps to diminish my dark circles. Different colours of enhancer definitely work differently....the Apricot enhancer was great for an all-over glow, but didn't help as dramatically as the pink coloured one on my eye area.

Hmm abit OT...
Pan, when u use the enhancer in glowing rose on ur eye area, do u still use a concealer *** it?
I've probs mixing conceaer & the enhancer together...usually my eye area will turn cakey.DO u encounter e same prob?f i use enhancer alone, it's nt ***** for my dark circles

[pandora76]

Hey Tinkling, I can't be bothered to mix the stuff, so usually I just apply enhancer first, and that will be enough to help with most of my eye area. If there are still certain patches that are particularly dark, I will then use a concealer on those parts only, but I apply the concealer on its own, ie. on top of the enhancer. No mixing it with the enhancer and all that fancy stuff; I don't have the time nor the patience to get it right!

In the day I use Chanel eye cream with SPF8. If I were to use any other eye cream without sun protection, do I need an eye sunblock? I tried Shiseido's & fnd the texture rather oily but it sits in not greasy on skin after a few minutes of absorption. What other eye sunblock are there out there?

[stellatan]

i use the shiseido one in the blue tube, not moisturizing enough tho' but for sun protection, it's fine, i just top it up with eye cream or something

how's the chanel? how much?

[farahdean]

yeah i was looking @ the blue one...was thinking of that with any normal eye cream. the chanel moisturize me enough, not greasy but mine's a sample & i m only halfway through the sample & it's been weeks! i got it from the SA @ Raffles City sometime back.

[pandora76]

I think this is a good idea....eye cream with sunblock!!! I'd better start, maybe that's why my eye zone is getting all wrinkly...ugh... what's the name of this CHanel one? Sounds good to me - non-greasy and SPF 8.

[stellatan]

dermalogica has a pink tinted one with spf too - the pink is supposed to reflect light away from your dark circles

i've used a sample of this and it's great but i find it a bit thick, maybe it's *** me

I am using Fresh soy eye cream with SPF 8. Not too greasy.

This is a great topic! My eyes are so prone to dark circles these days after starting work. Might be due to insifficient sleep as well as constant strain to the eyes due to staring at the PC too much.

Currently using Ayura eye cream... but is suffices as a hydrating agent only... and I'm too broke to afford La Mer's eye balm. But I heard raves about Cl de beaute... is that how u spee it... I think it costs like $160. And the normal face cream cost like $800!!
