anti wrinkle eye cream

do you really need to use it or is just a normal anti ageing moisterier just as good?

    The skin around the eye is much thinner which makes it more delicate that the rest of the skin so you do need a specific eye cream. using your usual moisturizer around your eyes will eventually lead to the skin being congested resulting in puffy eyes and bad circulation and sometimes millia. there are also some ingredients that are not suitable for this skin.

    Not sure if this is just a bluff but I was told by a skincare saleslady, that apparently the molecules in eyecream are much smaller than the molecules in ordinary moisturiser, and so they are designed to stop your eyes from puffing up. Apparently with normal moisturiser, the sensitive eye-area absorbs molecules that are too large and thus cause the area to puff out. I use just a simple eye cream by Dove (don`t know the exact name of it – I think it`s a brightening eye cream, but it`s available at most supermarkets and chemists, and only costs around $15 for 15ml – which lasts AGES) and I apply it with my ring-finger (as this is the weakest finger, and you need to be very gentle with the eye area) by just patting it around the eye (particularly underneath and to the sides). I find it very effective, and have seriously no wrinkles around my eyes whatsoever…. geeez, sorry to rant on! I hope you find this helpful!!

    I`ve used Garnier night cream for a while and have put it on my under-eye lids and it seems to smooth these out. And there`s no special advertising for this action.

    I think any would be fine, you should get a daily moisturier with SPF!
