I disagree with you.
I found that using a regular moisturizer around the eye area makes my eyes sting, isn't moisturizing enough, certainly doesn't help the lines I have. Using a cream makes me eyes brighter, softer and firmer. |

Shiseid0_0bsessi0n - could you please edit your post and add information about the original author of the text? The way it is now looks like you wrote it. It's not uncommon for people to get dragged to court over cuting&pasting someone else's words (in this case Paula Begoun's I take it) as this is a violation of a person's copyright. I'd hate to see it happen to someone on here so please update your post. TIA 
ETA - I agree with what Paula says but only to a very limited extent. There are some face creams that are very gentle and don't have any strong concentrations of active ingredients. If you don't have sensistive skin around the eye area then using them would be fine (at least I think so). I do use some face moisturisers around the eye area but also have some that I would never use around the eye area. |

| I think it depends on your skin - you need to "know" your skin (if you know what I mean)....I've actually had beautful results with Strivectin SD around the eye area (even the lid!!!) so I think it really just depends....there are some fab eye treatments out there -- you just need to know what you want and the kind of results you want to achieve. |

Hi
I gave them up a long time ago.
As far as I'm concerned they're overpriced and there's very little difference. If it's a good moisturiser you can use it on your eyes too.
The only real difference, I read somewhere ages ago, is that they are manufacturered to be more sterile than general facial moisturisers. |

| Personally, I don't think I could live without my Nivea CoQ10 Eye cream. I've tried the face cream but it doesn't have the same consistency. I really do need a topper over my Relaaxaline and this stuff is great. Also has a bit of sunscreen in it - spf 4. |

I believe that eye creams are definitely necessary! The skin around (above & under) the eye does not produce sebum (the skin's natural lubrication/mositurizer). So you must moisturize that area yourself.
Lianne likes to use a regular facial mositurizer on her eyes, which is OK as long as it isn't irritating to your eye.
Eye creams are formulated to be non-irritating even if they get into your eye - they should not sting or burn. Also the eye is the first area to show signs of aging because of all the abuse that skin takes. So creams that are high in antioxidants & ingredients to improve elasticity & collagen production are great for the eye area.
Just my $.02!
I always say if I was stuck on an island with only one product, it would be an good eye cream! (with SPF of course!)

I usually have to use something formulated just for the eye area because of two things; puffiness and contact lens. Just recently I found an exception in Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Moisture Gel. I have often thought I'd probably be able to use Jurlique Herbal Recovery Gel, but haven't tried it yet.

There's not many eye cream I haven't tried, well, there is, but if feels like Ive tried them all and Im still striving to find the one that will make me look 18 again. OK, I know its probably a surgeon I need, but a girl has to try!!!  |
