I like the QV one. Doesn't irritate my eyes and I've pretty moisturising. I've used others (not on this list) and they make the fine lines worse (sanden brook, missha). I'm too scared to try others now after a few badly irritated my eyes.

I've tried 1, 2, 3 and 4! I've started sticking to more inexpensive eye creams that really nourish and moisturise the delicate eye area which I find works well at plumping out the fine lines.

I've used the Clinique, Garnier and Nivea ones. Unfortunately nothing really helps reduce my dark circles and puffy eye bags. I'm currently using the Nivea Q10 one.

Q10 doesn't work for my eyes.. I use it more like a primer under my make up ... My favourite eye cream is medik8 eye .. It is very effective !

So, basically what I use, is as natural as possible good nourishing cream and slap around the eyes as well! And voila, perfect plump and hydrated skin, not tight and dry as with eye creams

I have noticed that eye creams suck! No really lol
I had some pricey one given to me recently, and tried a few before. They all were too thin (water stuff, maybe bit of glycerin and stuff with it), so after applying around eye area was tight and felt always drier than my skin usually is! Why do they tighten the skin? I find this very bad, and leaving expression lines stay for longer!

Great list to find a new eye cream, have used Garnier years ago, and I've heard #1 works great under makeup.

The only ones on this list I've tried I haven't been pleased with. Not enough hydration, my fine lines looked deeper. I've heard the Benefit one is quite good.

Great list to help me find an eye cream. I have heard of the above eye creams but am yet to try any. I love the Tony Moly Eye Cream I have.

I've used both the A'kin and the philosophy eye creams and they are both very decent eye creams, brightens, plumps out my fine lines and both hydrating.

I use an Avon one that works beautifully, and doesn't irritate my eyes. That Philosophy Ultimate Miracle eye cream irritated my eyes something awful :( Was like having a migraine without the pain. Kind of scary!

i love this article! I must say I'm super surprised at some of these and interesting to see positive reviews on things that have been discontinued. some brands do some silly things

Most eye creams are generally too rich for me. I am now using an Estee Lauder eye serum which is great. Sukin may be a good substitute!

I haven't tried any of these yet. I am using 100% Pure coffee bean caffeine eye cream which my daughter bought for me. I have noticed a decrease in fine lines and puffiness but not a big change in the dark circles under my eyes.
