Guarantee: None

Most effective for:

• Lightweight,
• Moisturizes,
• Non-Greasy,
• hydrating
• rich
• Soothes Skin
• Does not interfere with make-up




• Other positive review:

  • There is definitely an instant lift and I think over time, the crows feet have softened. I have very dry skin so I use it in conjunction with Jan Marini Transformation Eye Cream and the two work wonders.

Other factors to consider:

• Causes painful side effects for some
• Not ideal for sensitive skin
• Does not get rid of dark circles
• Other negative reviews:

  • I was hopeful in trying this product,as I have alot of deep wrinkles,crows feet, and abused the sun in my younger years. I wasn't expecting miracles, but for the price I was sure I would get results. Unfortunately because of my sensitive skin, I didn't get to try it for very long, and exchanged for a different product.

Directions for Use: Gently pat with fingertips under and over eye area. May be used day and night, with or without make-up.

Sunscreen: None

Recommendation: DDF definitely has its share in the eye cream market. They have plenty of products that have established their own name in the skin care industry. This particular cream, is one of the surprises when it comes to consistency and effectivity. For something lightweight, it remains to be creamy. It also does not interfere with your make up. I would say this is more ideal for those busy women on the go, whose main problem are wrinkles. For other skin problems like dark circles and baggy eyes, you may want to use some other effective eye creams which would target those problems.

  • I have semi-oily skin, and this product sinks right in without affecting my eye makeup. It has a lovely texture and no heavy scent. Feels almost like a serum mixed with a very lightweight moisturizer

Other factors to consider:

• not very moisturizing for dry eyes
• Does not lighten dark circles around the eyes
• Does not get rid of eye bags
• Other negative reviews:

  • An average eyecream, not very moisturizing for my dry dry eyes.

Sunscreen: None

Recommendation: The Borghese Fluido Protettivo Advanced Spa Lift for Eyes has received a lot of positive reviews online. This is because of its light fragrance and feel this makes it a favorite of women who wear make-up. The problem is because this cream is so light, when it comes to major problems, you cannot expect it to be completely effective. I believe there are other creams that are equally light, but still carry the same positive effects.

Guarantee: 30 days

Most effective for:

• Hydrating without the greasy feel
• Absorbs Quickly
• Fragrance free
• Softens skin




• Other positive review:

  • I bought this for my droopy eye lid and it did the trick. Worked just as well as the $55 cream I bought before. I also use under my eyes for crows feet but haven't noticed the major improvement there like my eyelids. I would DEFINITELY recommend this if you have a problem with heavy/droopy eyelids.

Other factors to consider:

• Does not firm
• Does not eliminate dark circles
• Does not soften fine lines
• Other negative reviews:

  • I am 25-30 year old. i switched to use this product half year ago, and ever since then, my fine line below my eyes increase dramatically. i am not sure if it is because of this product…. at least it's not reducing fine lines… i will not use this product anymore.

May Also Contain: Citric Acid.

Sunscreen: None

Recommendation: There is no doubt that this product is hydrating. However, for an eye cream, it does not do what it’s supposed to, and therefore, you are ending up paying more for a just a moisturizing cream. The anti aging ingredients in this product are relatively low, which is probably one of the reasons for it not working. I would not recommend this eye cream.

Guarantee: No Guarantee

Most effective for:

• Hydrates without greasiness
• Cooling and refreshing
• Minimizes puffiness
• Lightens dark circles
• Applicator




• Other positive review:

  • I used LaMer eye creme for years and loved, loved, LOVED it, so I was confused when this came out. Which should I use? I called my rep at Neiman's and she explained that this might be better for me. I love this even better than the eye creme! Soaks right in and makes the are under my eyes much brighter and smoother. No wrinkles yet!

Other factors to consider:

• Seeping tends to irritate eyes
• Expensive
• 6 month expiration
• Other negative reviews:

  • I've been getting lines under my eyes and I've tried alot of different eye creams. I had heard so much about LaMer from reading about how all the Hollywood stars use it so I figured I'd give it a try. It is very pricey but if it worked I wouldn't care about the price because it would be worth it. I've only been using it for about 2 weeks and I really see no difference in my under eye lines and wrinkles. I know this may be too soon to write a review but I received the e-mail and decided to write in. I'm going to continue to use this product because I paid so much for it I feel I can't just give it up. Hopefully, in time, it will live up to its miraculous promise to get rid of my lines and wrinkles. Only time will tell.

Description:An ultraluxe eye treatment that dissolves the appearance of lines and wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness.

Directions for Use: Dab a small amount and gently sweep onto the eye area with applicator morning and evening to ensure proper delivery of this potent treatment. Follow with Crème de la Mer.

Ingredients: infused with three unique forms of Miracle Broth™: the original, a concentrated form and a new, encapsulated form designed to optimize continuous release to the skin. Known for its healing energies, the Miracle Broth™ infuses skin with the energy it needs to focus on renewal.

Sunscreen: None

Recommendation: This is an eye cream that has received a lot of positive reviews. Its effectivity in minimizing puffiness and dark circles is something that is raved about by many. However, from my point of view, it isn't really a miracle worker. For the price you'll be paying, you should expect and get miracle results. Another very important thing is that it's an eye cream that has a 6 month expiration date once opened. If you don't use up the entire tub after six months, then you could be just throwing away your money. For that I give it two stars.

Price:$18.00-22.000 Clinique Advanced Stop Signs Eye SPF 15t 0.5 oz.

Guarantee: No Guarantee

Most effective for:

• Hydrates without greasiness
• not very greasy
• Day cream
• SPF 25




• Other positive review:

  • My understanding is that tanning and burning are caused by UVB rays. Skin aging and wrinkles are caused by UVA rays. This eye cream has both UVB and UVA protection, SPF 15. As an eye cream, it is thicker than usual creams. Every morning for the last 10 years, I have applied it on my brow bone and under my eye (not right on eyelid as it may get into eyes). I do not have any wrinkles in my eye area. The sunscreen component will prevent future skin damage to the eye area. For existing damage to the eye area, well, I don't know if anything non-surgical can help that. I wear SPF 25 on the rest of my face every morning (Superdefence from Clinique), but use this eye cream in my eye area (as regular creams get into my eyes and that hurts). I would highly recommend using this as a day cream for the eye area as it is thick enough not to get into your eyes and also prevents the eye area from future sun damage.

Other factors to consider:

• Possible allergic reactions
• Fine lines
• Eye Irritation
• Other negative reviews:

  • I have tried several Clinique products in the past(mascara, eyeliner, moisturizer, eye cream) and have found all of them too harsh for my skin. Most recently, I used the All About Eyes Cream, which gave me a rash and made my skin peel after only a couple of days.

Description: Olay Regenerist Continuous Night Recovery provides the look of a mini-lift each morning. The key to this breakthrough is an exclusive nighttime Amino-Peptide Complex. It works with a time-release effect, hydrating hour after hour to increase cell renewal within skin's surface.

Directions for Use: With ring finger, apply sparingly to entire eye area using a gentle patting motion

Ingredients: Zinc Oxide 8.7%, Octinoxate 1.7%.

Sunscreen: SPF15

Recommendation: This eye cream obviously has some negative reactions to certain types of skin. Make sure to test it first. Also, compared to the other eye creams featured, there are not much reviews over the positive effects it has had on those who have tried.

Most effective for:

• Easily available
• Hydrates without greasiness
• Ideal for oily skins or combination skin types
• Nice scent




• Other positive review:

  • This formula performs – I have been using Repechage for years – and this cream locked more moisture into my skin after one application than my whole experience with pricey French-based marine cosmetics. It's not greasy at all – it absorbs very well into the skin – even the day time formula. My skin feels like a baby's butt (!) and it is healthier and cleaner. I'm so impressed, and very happy I tried it.

Other factors to consider:

• Does not work for Super dry skin
• wasteful packaging
• No real anti-age results
• Other negative reviews:

  • Either my skin or the product itself kind of rolls off after I apply this. Even after I have exfoliated. Maybe this is the "regenerating" part, but I don't care for it. Very strange. I wouldn't buy this again. 2 stars for moisturizing evenly.

Description: Olay Regenerist Continuous Night Recovery provides the look of a mini-lift each morning. The key to this breakthrough is an exclusive nighttime Amino-Peptide Complex. It works with a time-release effect, hydrating hour after hour to increase cell renewal within skin's surface.

Directions for Use: Dab on areas around the eye, best if applied to a clean face. For more intense treatment, apply a thick layer around and under eye in the evening and leave on overnight.ser directly onto finger and spread gently over the area under your eyes.

Ingredients: Not Specified

Sunscreen: None

Recommendation: This works well to avoid signs of aging. It functions as a very good moisturizer for those minor aging signs. If you're more of a person looking for more protection, but also moisturizing at the same time, this product is the best. This will avoid over moisturizing your skin, leading it to becoming too oily. However, when there is already major damage, it is best to look for more moisturizing alternatives.

Other factors to consider:

  • "I didn't notice any difference with my fine lines at all. It felt soothing, and that wasy it"

Sunscreen: None

Recommendation: For those with dark circles and eye bag problems, this will prove to be great for minimizing or eliminating those aging horrors. The soothing effect it gives is a definite plus, and will help you go through the day feeling more beautiful than with regular eye creams. The negative of this gel, is, being an eye gel, does not have too much moisturizing power. Also, it does not have spf, so you might want to purchase some sunscreen to go with your eye gel.

The superior caring treatment is instantly absorbed and leaves the skin around your eyes feeling smooth and revitalized.

Ingredients: Active Ingredients: Avobenzone, Ensulizole

Sunscreen: SPF6

Recommendation: So while the product did help a bit in making my eyes look less tired, some darkness and puffiness on the inside corners of my eyes remained, only slightly improved. I must admit I did like what it did, but overall it wasn't as dramatic as what I might have hoped for. For half an ounce the product is pricey and its up in the air if I might buy it again.
