| I use jojoba oil. I actually use it all over my face, just add extra under the eye. Many people here use emu oil for under eye dryness. There are many recommendations for it on this forum. |

Hello and welcome! 
You'll get lots of recommendations here but I found that basic Hylauronic Acid Pure Skin Formulations(PSF) Skincare do one - it is excellent for dehydration around the eyes. I carry some with me as its nice and cooling and you can apply it over make up.
Otherwise I've found PSF Eye cream, Cellcosmet eye cream, The Organic Pharmacy Eye cream, and Guerlain Happyology eye cream to be good for dehydration also.
Hope that helps.:O) |

| I might sound like a broken record to some, but I love DHC Concentrated eye cream. I had papery skin on my eyes, and this helps, a lot. It doesn't do much for dark circles, but it sure hydrates. I'm sensitive and fair as well, and this product gives me no irritation. It has a nice cooling effect when you first put it on as well. |

Hasn't relax-a-line got HA in it? Would that be just as good for hydration as well as fighting lines (though is it dehydration that causes the lines?!  )

| The Decleor hydrating eye & lip contour mask is quite hydrating for the eye area |

DHC is one of my favorite skincare brands. They're based out of Japan. I knew at one point what "DHC" stands for-- there's a good thread about the line on here, if you search it.
They use a lot of natural ingredients, mainly olive oil. The eye cream is very emollient and gentle. |

| Based on what you have described, I will advise the following products for your consideration: Yonka Phyto Contour, Babor Sensational Eyes Eye Gel, Caudalie Contour Cream Eyes and Lips, or Kinerase Eye Creme. |

Relaxaline does have HA in it I think, but I found it dried out my eye area as I was just using it on my crows feet. The Argirilene (sp) must be drying. I've found Cellcosmet Eye Contour Cream to be very good at hydrating although it is very expensive. Another one that is hydrating is Mary Kay Timewise Eye Cream. |

| I used to apply CLARINS Hydra Serum under my eyes in winter, then the Valmont eye cream, pretty nice. |

| Lucia, which PSF eye creme do you like? I'm having a hard time deciding which one to try. |

| MD Formulations antioxidant eye cream is very good at clearing up dehydrated skin without adding puffiness. |

My eyes are super sensitive & I"m able to use the PSF StimuColl-C Intensive Eye Serum on my eye lids & also under my eyes - quite close to the lashes. I also swear by Keihl's Avocado Eye Cream. It doesn't migrate anywhere. It stays where you put it & doesn't run through my wrinkles (little ones  ) like they are rivers. I just use it, on top of the PSF, under my eyes (not on the lids) & then take a lint free tissue & lightly blot it. |

| I'd recommend Cellcosmet Eye Cream or PSF eye cream. The PSF eye cream is probably more hydrating actually. Also, I have found the Dr Hauschka Rose Day cream to ge great as an eye cream when I have some sort of irritation or really dry skin. Another eye cream very good for a dehydrated eye are is the Shiseido Benefiance one. It's quite rich but great at moisturising. |

dede,
I like their hydrating eye cream but have just started with Stimucoll (trial size) and it is very good thought I would say not as moisturising as the cream. I only like to use serums/gels on my skin at night rather than heavy night creams so I usually use the Stimucoll at night and the cream during the day. Hope that helps.  |

I have been using Skinceuticals' Eye Balm. My under eye lines are not worse, but I don't see the improvement I like. I have used up one bottle and am using the second bottle now. Is PSF eye cream better than Skinceuticals' Eye Balm? What do you all think about the Cellex-C High Potency C serum? Should I use it for my eye area?
Thank you. |
