    Thanks to Beauty Heaven I was able to try ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Eye Renewal and am very impressed! A little goes a very long way and feels like a rich serum that is quickly absorbed into the skin. After 3 1/2 weeks my fine lines are less visible and my skin texture hasn`t looked this good in years!! And yes, it`s never to early to care for your skin.

    It takes at least one month to notice the effects of any skincare.

    I`ve used a sample size of all about eyes by Clinique which lasted me a whole month. However, I didn`t notice any difference. I might try Garniers eye roll on next!

    love the garnier eye roll on, suggested by fellow BH members!
    it totally decreases the puffiness in my eyes… but true, not so well with the dark shadows..

    i would be using a moisturiser all over your face until your 21yo – i would think that the skin is still too young for different products. thats just my opinion though

    I never think too early is to early for eye creams, i love them they are a personal favouritefor me.

    I use a clinique one that came in a pack. Its really delicate and i love it.

    I think its ok to use a moisturiser for the eye depending on the type of moisturiser. When I was using the moogoo anti aging cream it was so light that I could appy it to the eye area and it really just nourished the skin. And because I have milia at the bottom of my eye, anything even slightly heavy would make it worse.

    I`m starting to use Ella Bache creme contour which is the lightweight eye cream and I`m 21, but I started with Nivea eye cream when I was about 16 or 17. To begin with maybe start with a cream that isn`t too heavy, or contains the active ingredients that`s more suitable for mature skin. I`m assuming its the effect of these ingredients that is a concern for young people thinking about using eye cream.

    Basically I don`t think it`s too early for eye cream. It really just depends on what it needs, and if it`s eye cream it needs then doesn`t matter how old you are =)

    skin around eyes is more sensitive than other areas of face.
    you should always use different cream/gel for them

    Oh, I`ve always wondered about this, someone said mid 20s was a good age to start, but after reading this, I guess I`ll pick something up soon. 🙂
    I wonder if tea bags in the fridge would be as effective as the Garnier roll on? Haha

    I used to wear a strong SPF30+ sunblock every day, and so the skin tone would be even, I`d dab some over my eyelids as well. But I wonder if that was damaging? I`m a bit confused since on one hand, we should use sunblock to protect our skin, on the other hand, I wonder if sunblock is too harsh for eye skin…
