Our Favourite Anti-Ageing Eye Creams

The first signs of ageing show in the eye area, and unfortunately those 'laughter' lines don't make us happy as we age.

This fine, delicate skin around the eye area deserves extra special care, so eye creams are a vital step in our beauty regime. The skin in this area is very thin, so avoid anything too oily as it is less able to hold moisture and it will not be absorbed. Creams or oils that are too heavy may also block tear ducts, leading to puffy eyes.

We also have fewer oil glands in the area around the eyes, which makes the risk of dryness even more prevalent.

Application of Eye Cream

Place a small amount of your eye cream onto your ring finger and gently dab or pat it around the eyes. Due to the delicate nature of the skin in this area, avoid any rubbing or dragging of the skin. You do not want to stretch the skin and promote the occurrence of wrinkles.

Eye Cream Products:

Many products on the market today offer "miracles" to get rid of wrinkles and firm the skin, but much is merely marketing hype and will reduce the contents of your wallet more than the appearance of lines around your eyes. Products now contain such high technology ingredients claiming to be Botox without the Botox, but who knows? However, below are some tried and tested products which are worth mentioning for their value and ability to improve the skin around the eyes after two months of usage.

Guerlain Issima Success Eye Tech:

Definately my pick! Georgeous product and I have been converted!

This product is a two in one win as it targets the fine lines and wrinkles around the eye and also the tightening of the droopiness of the contour area of the upper lid. Ingredients in this formulation include "injectine" to improve the absorption of vitamin C, magnesium aspartate, tormentiil, as well as "blue gold". This alloy is a signature of the Issima range, which is pure gold and an extract of abyssal algae.

Testers discovered that lines around the eyes were smoother and finer, their puffiness was reduced and hydration was much improved. The product was absorbed well into the skin and opened the eyes giving the appearance of a wide look. Packaging is divine, although the price is a little higher than average.

Creme de la Mer Eye Balm:

This formulation contains the famous marine broth found in every Creme product, as well as Braziliam malachite, an illuminating mineral to diffuse redness and create an illusion of the blending of lines.

Testers loved the consistency, absorbs into the skin well while maintaining hydration for hours, and instant improvement was discovered with the skin being more elastic and softer and wrinkles appearing less obvious. High price range, but will last a long time due to the tiny amount used each time.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair:

Incorporating high doses of anti-oxidants and complexes of mulberry, saxifrage, grape and scullcap and extracts from yeast, white birch, mushroom, algae. Designed to target puffiness and dark circles under the eyes as well as rebuilding the skin. Average to above price tag for a high potency product.

Found to be a wonderful improvement in the bagginess and puffiness and definately reduced the appearance of wrinkles and dark circles. Eyes appeared brighter and lifted as well.

LÓreal Wrinkle De-Crease:

This treatment claims to target the fine lines with Boswelox, which minimises the wrinkle causing movements. Below average price range.

Testers found this a marvelous product. It absorbed quickly and effectively and results showed improvement in the appearance of wrinkles, reduced puffiness and dark circles were greatly minimised.

Aveda Tourmaline Charged Eye Cream:

Ingredients of fine-powdered tourmaline to bounce light off the skin, as well as Indian pennywort, lycopene, moisturising glycerine and hyaluronic acid, beta-carotene, cooling cucumber and light-diffusing silica. Below average to average price tag

Testers again found reduced appearance of lines and wrinkles, dark circles now lighter and texture of skin (crepiness) was dramatically improved with eyes being brighter.

Lancome Resolution Yeux:

This is a dense cream that needs to be warmed before applying. Contains D-Contraxol which is designed to reduce dermo-contractions. Price tag Average to Above.

A good maintenance product reducing appearance of lines and wrinkles, reducing dark circles and skin was well moisturised.
