Hi
I have been using Decleor's Harmonie Eye Gel but it is running out and I feel I need to change to something stronger especially as I gained two new lines under each eye overnight.
Are there any miracle creams out there?
Thanks everyone

Sorry to say, no miracle creams around  But there are some really good ones! 
What type of skin do you have around the eye area? |

fatsia,
You might want to try one of the oils for around your eye area. I have just started using Burt's Bees Repair Serum with Attar of Rose on the recommendations of MUA reviewers. I was surprised the Repair Serum was at the top of the list on MUA top picks for eye treatments. I had previously been using Primavera Rose Hip Oil and liked the effects, but Burt's seems not as runny and sinks in faster. It just takes a drop of the light yellow serum for each eye and it makes the area so soft and hydrated without that oily feeling. It has a light herbal fragrance that isn't too powerful. Of course I can't rave about repair because I haven't used it long enough, but I have a feeling this will be a "keeper" for me. So far, the only thing I don't like about it is I have a lot of hard surfaces in my bathroom plus I am clumsy and this comes in an approximately 4 inch tall skinny glass bottle, so it may get broken. I also would have preferred a dropper bottle, but it's relatively easy to just tip the bottle over on your finger and just the right amount comes out.
It's ridiculously inexpensive at suggested retail of $20 for 1 fl oz. I agree with what one of the other MUA reviewers said. If a high end company were to offer this it would be 2-3 times the price.
It's full of "good stuff". Here's a list of ingredients and a picture:
Rosehip Seed Oil, Jojoba Oil, Lavender Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Evening Primrose Oil, Borage Seed Oil, Wheat Germ Oil, Hazelnut Oil, Neroli Oil, Rose Oil, Calendula Extract, Green Tea Extract, Beta Carotene, Tocopherol, Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C), Retinyl Palmitate (vitamin E)
Hope this helps!

| That does look good! Nice ingredient list. I also use Nivea Coq10 for a lightweight drugstore brand. |

| I really like Shiseido's Benefience eye cream and also Babor's Sensational eye cream. Both are quite moisturizing without being too heavy. Good luck! |

I've tried many different eye creams and have finally found one I'm very happy with:
Zia Ultimate Eye cream - gets very good reviews on MUA).
I import it from the US.
It hydrates and sinks in beautifully - looks like mango butter. It has a fragrance and I usually hate smelly products but it doesn't bother me at all.
