Eye Cream Dilemma

I'm looking for some lift, deflation of puffiness, and also some lightening (dark circles / under brow discoloration). I can use something else to moisturize so that's not as important -- but it would be nice to combine all factors in one product if possible. I'd love to get some opinions and feedback from the lovely Forum mates here.

I'm trying to decide between a wide variety of eye products that I will list in order of price:

Bright Eye Serum REDUCES UNDER EYE BAGS & DARK CIRCLES 1.25oz $11.25

Moisturizes with 8% Hyaluronic Acid & Squalane Serum; has Eye Resolution, an extract derived from the bark of the Amazonian tree Cecropia Obtusa, also called cannon wood. In clinical studies, this extract was found to stimulate lypolysis (breakdown of fat) and reduce the thickness of eye bags by 23% after only 8 weeks of treatment; has Biophytex, which targets and reduces dark circles under the eyes

Pure Coffee Eye Cream 1oz $19

PSF PSF Phyto-Lift Cranberry Eye 0.5 oz/15mL $40

Revision SkinCare Teamine Eye Complex (0.5 oz.) $55
http://www.essentialdayspa.com/revision-skincare-teamine-p_4146.htm

Cellcosmet Eye Contour Cream 1.03 oz. $195
http://www.essentialdayspa.com/cellcosmet-eye-contour-cr-p_417.htm
which I would try first in the EDS trial kit $29/03
http://www.essentialdayspa.com/cellcosmet-trial-kit-with-p_3146.htm

I realize that these products vary greatly in price. I don't know if I can get a sample of the PSF Cranberry as I would like to try it before buying a full size. At least with the Cellcosmet, I could handle buying the trial kit and get a sample that way and decide if it deserves the major splurge it would be for a full size.

Of the products that you listed, I have only tried the Revision SkinCare Teamine Eye Complex. I used it for a few months, with no noticeable improvement. I was not happy that I had paid the $55 for it. I have lots of puffiness that I was trying to correct. I don't really have a dark circle issue though. So, it might work better for the dark circles...

Well, here is one more to confuse you. This product is for dark circles (about 30-45 days to take full effect) and puffiness. It does not moisturize which is fine with you. It is by Serious Skin Care and it is Hi Bright.

Serious Skin Care does an outstanding job at "copying" very high end skincare treatments and bringing the identical ingredients in the right percentages to the mass market at affordable prices.

High Bright is outstanding and contains both Eyeliss for the puffiness and haloxyl (the active ingredient in Hylexin). Both eyeliss and haloxyl are trademarked by Sederma.

You can find it on the HSN site, at Ulta and on Serious Skin Care's own site.

You can get a sample of PSF's cranberry eye lift. I can't remember the URL exactly but if you google PSF, you'll find it.

Good luck!
