HELP!!
I am debating spending so much money on eye products....I am eyeing (no pun intended!) the SkinMedica TSN and Night Eye after reading the reviews.
I have lots of fine lines (and maybe not so fine lines!!) under my eyes (not crows) and know it is worth spending the money if it works...but if it doesn't work!!! I am an at-home Mom so.....
If anybody has any comments...either to convince me it's worth the $$$ or to suggest a cheaper solution that WORKS...I'd GREATLY appreciate it!
I also thinking about the SkinMedica retinol so would I need both for the eye area??? |

| I've used the TNS Illuminating Eye Cream and didn't think it was worth all the hoopla. Wouldn't buy it again and didn't see any big improvement with moisturizing the undereye area or reducing puffiness. Any eye cream would be just as good and cheaper. |

Oh, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the feedback!! I fell like I have spent a fortune on eye creams over the years and I usually end up tossing them before they are done! Thank you. |

| I think Leaf & Rusher makes a great eye cream....it's a lightweight serum consistency and does a good job of moisturizing and reducing lines. It can't beat the old 1-2 punch of Retin-A/Vit C along with the LED lights, but it's pretty good for a one product approach. |

| I've tried a sample of SkinMedica TSN. It's very very dry for my eyes. But I now want to try Skinmedica Night Eye. |

The Leaf & Rusher is very expensive too. I guess I was hoping someone would have found a less expensive but effective eye cream  |

| I was going to try their products then noticed most were loaded with cones. I have tried their retinol cream and thought it was nice, but prefer Avene Eluage cream and it is cheaper. |

| I really like Jan Marini Age Intervention Eye Cream. It is very moisturizing and does seem to get rid of those pesky dehydrating lines that form around the eye area. It's also moderately priced. I'm using it now and like it so much that I will probably repurchase. |

| I have tried skin medica's eye cream and I feel that Revive eye renewal cream is superior.I am 55 and it has significantly tightened up my lower eyes, it has given me a big correction in my wrinkles under the eye.I only buy sample packs on ebay and use a pin to prick it and scotch tape over it, you only need a little.I have almost no wrinkles under my eyes and people do comment on it too, its a noticeable difference. |

Was it the new night eye that you tried? Thanks |

| I'm using cosmedicine. It's really affordable, and at least for me it works better than other more expensive eye cream. |

| I've tried the TNS Illuminating Eye Cream but not much big difference. Comparing the price and outcome, I don't think it worth that much |

I have tried the TNS face and eye several times and they were just okay. I finally gave up after my derm kept saying you have to try it for several months in order to see it work and did not reorder. I gave it more than a fair shake.
My fave eye cream so far has been Bobbi Brown's eye cream, excellent for day and night, hydrates but isn't too greasy. I am on my third jar and it is reasonably priced.
I went through Sephora and got huge samples of all their most hyped and pricey eye creams to try and this cream won out. |

I tried TNS Illuminating Eye Cream, too. I think it is quite dry and not suitable for you if seeking to remove fine lines.......
But the NIGHT REPAIR FOR EYE, I think it is good in moisturizing. For fine lines, I think need more time to see the effect.
Also, my friend told me it was better to use the eye serum. It was good for moisturizing even used individually. Of course you can use it with the TNS Illuminating Eye Cream. |

This is an old thread so I don't know if Tiffany found something. Anyway, I'm recommending YNS A-Serum because it works, at least for me. During cold, dry Chicago winters I will sometimes put any old moisturizer or eye cream over it after it dries, or pat on plain squalane to increase hydration. However, my undereye area has not changed - except for the initial improvements it made - in the 5 or 6 years since I've been using it and I'm over 50. Anything that can maintain at my age has to be working.
It costs $59.95 for 1.3 oz which lasts a few months if you only use it around your eyes. It's made for the entire face but I found it didn't work as well everywhere else because I have resistant skin. You can take a look at it on-line at ynsproducts.com. And no, I don't work for them - the medspa is in Florida. |

No, I haven't quite found my HG yet!! I'm using a DDF eye cream right now which is OK. I would only repurchase it if it was on sale again...not worth the full price to me. Thanks for your suggestion. |

| The YNS helped with my lines, so if you try it let me know if it helps with yours. There's a bit of a learning curve on how to use it because it's not just an "eye cream" but nothing too difficult. |
