I have always applied my eye cream on both upper and lower lid but one of my friends told me that I should only apply it on the lower lid. Is this truth? What about the wrinkles on the upper lid?
Thanks for your help again
big hugs

Most eye creams will say to apply under and up on the orbital bone from the crease to the eyebrow but not directly on the eyelid. You have to check the eye cream that you have to see if it is alright to apply on your lids or not, but most aren't recommended for the lid itself.

Yes, you´re right Dark Moon but why do you think they advise that? I´ve always used my eye creams on my upper lid and never had any problem. I´m just thinking if I should stop doing it

Most of the eye creams probably have not been tested for use on the lids and I would guess the manufacturers want to avoid people having any problems. |

I have to agree and they may contain ingredients that are potentially irritating to the eyes if they migrate in, I know I have that issue with super sensitive eyes. |

| I use it on both upper and lower lid, because most of my eye creams/gels are light texture. If the cream is rich, you'd better not use it on upper lid. |

| I use a lighter lotion on the upper lids only once a week if I need it, and only at night. I use an eye cream on the lower twice a day, with a heavier one at night only. I use out towards my crowsfeet and up and around my nose bridge, which tends to get a few dry spots for some reason. |

There is one I have used and amazingly it didn't cause my sensitive eyes any problems, eyelyph serum made for the entire eye area including lids.
http://www.buyearthen.com/DisplayProducts.asp?Criteria=17310&T=PDFCatalog
Instructions:
Apply around the eye area including eyelids daily. For best results use both morning and evening. Avoid direct contact with eyes. |

| I never knew you weren't meant to apply it all over the eye area! I have done for years, no problems so far. |

I guess many do, but if you read most all eye creams they instruct that you avoid your lids! I guess some like you don't have any problems but I know those with sensitive eyes may well, I know I do. Even the one that I use, linked to above says to avoid direct contact with eyes so you need to be careful, the Eylyph absorbs quickly so I don't find it migrates into my eyes, many heaver creams can very easily especially during sleep. |

| If you do, you need to be careful with both ingredients and application. The skin on the eyelids is very thin, and blinking also makes products migrate towards the eye. |

| Sometimes, I use eye cream on upper lids, especially the area near to lash. The eye cream can strengthen the lash and make them longer. |
