do eye creams work?

Try some vitamin K gel - it helps strengthen the underlying capillaries. It's also good for helping bruises heal faster and reducing redness.

My girlfriend uses some Japanese stuff called DHC or something, she swears by it. It is like patches she sleeps with.

eyebag solutions

Hey Jaq does that gel have any known effect on burst capillaries? I have tons in my face and I'd love to get them to go away :/

yeah, i don't have bags - i just look like a terminal liver case

Funny you should ask this, I was going to ask the same thing. I have puffiness under one of my eyes - the skin actually looks blistered and I have tiny patches of rough dead skin under one eye and on the eyelid. I'm putting it down to rubbing my eye too much due to lack of sleep and mild bouts of conjunctivitis, but my regular moisturiser isn't doing much to rehydrate the skin.

Ice Cream works, that much I know.

Don't know about burst capillaries Trayce, but it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. It does work well on bruises, which I think are partly about broken capillaries.

I've seen those DHC things in their catalog - they look interesting, but it would be weird to sleep with stuff glued to my face I think.

i fucking love eye creams

every day

i mean the long term effects are good but even just putting some eye cream on with undereye makeup - so nice. creates a creamy, glowing, light look

i use an eyecream but it is more to prevent wrinkles than reduce dark circles. i haven't found anything that works for that other than cover-up.

maybelline concealer is good for undereye, blends pretty smooth

i hear good things about touche eclat.

yeah, most if not all creams are about wrinkles/bags. hylexin is the only thing i can think of that's actually marketed as being for dark circles.

xpost touche eclat irritates my eyes, and even for a pale person such as myself i think it's a bit light. i use dior's highlighting pen, which i LOVE.

(benefit's stuff is pretty good, too, but mine dried up really quickly.)

yeah dior skinflash is pretty nice!

touche eclat is nice. i started using a kiehl's eye cream mostly as preventative, starting to see a very few fine lines.. but i'm almost 30 so i guess that happens

i've been using a vichy cream, which is nice enough and very moisturizing, but my next purchase is going to be la roche posay's redermic. i used a sample packet of it this week, and i can already see a difference.

i use mario badescu hyaluronic eye cream which seems to work well enough. it's less expensive than most (under $20 bucks) and seems to work as well as some of the fancier ones.

i, too, have this problem.

the clairins/clinique ones i've tried have done absolutely nothing for me.

hylexin == $99 for a tube == scam city

WHOA

had no idea.

I don't mind the underside of my eyes being all bluey-purple, except it makes my boyfriend ask "ARE YOU OKAY? LOOK AT YOUR EYES!" on bad days.

haha

well, my clinique night repair is great. and i experiment with my mother in law's estee lauder samples which have always been nice.

also i just discovered the lab series for men creams which i am absolutely loving

I have freakishly dark shadows in the inner bit of my eye socket i.e. either side of my nose. You can't notice it from the front but from the side or a certain angle it looks like I've smudged eye shadow there. Anyone else have this? I tried Hylexin (got a cheapish sample off internet, although tbh it could have been any old crap in a pot) and it did nothing. Have Touche Eclat which is OK for under eyes but if I try and use coverup on the dark circles I look like Michael Jackson.

God I sound hideous...

lol nooo

i have more darkness there too. it's good to get at it with cream/concealer WITH A Q TIP
