Eye creams....how good are the expensive ones like Lancome and Estee Lauder?

I want to change my eye cream and have been wondering whether I should go for the expensive ones, seeing as I am 35. Over the past years I have used the cheaper brands...Nivea, Garnier, Loreal and for the last year, Specifics (Seventeen). What do women my age use? Should i go for an expensive one or is something cheaper just as good or better? Please give me some suggestions (preferrably not the ones I have mentioned I've already used in the past). Also, your suggestions don't necessarily have to be well known brands...they could be a good cream you've found that has worked for you. Thanks.Eye creams....how good are the expensive ones like Lancome and Estee Lauder?

I've been using the MAC eye cream - LOVE IT!! Go into their store and sample it.
I have had the same question. I tried cheap ones and expensive ones. I would say that expensive ones do leave a different feeling. But it depends from your skin i guess.





On me, i have found out that the expensive ones leave a comfortable moist feeling for the day while the area under my eye look very well when i return home, the cheap ones leave a feelin lasting for 1-2 hours and i dont see any permanent results.





I have tried Clinique, Lancome, Helena Rubinstein and Guerlain for the eye area





For me (again, this is personal), ';Issima Eye Mythic'; from Guerlain made wonders, i can feel the skin around my eyes almost permanently soft and comfortable. But its one of the most expensive ones..:(





The worst of all the expensives brands i tried is Clinique, its good thats without perfume but the result isnt that great as the ones from Lancome and Guerlain.
They say it's all in the active ingredient... find out what the active ingredient is in the product you want to try, go to ebay in the health %26amp; beauty section, put the active ingredient in the search. You should find a few Ebay stores that sell the stuff to make your own version of these products. They sell a base and ALL of the big time active ingredients. I'm a cosmetologist and use them all the time. Do the ingredients these companies are using really make a difference? YES! My 15 year old had been suffering from psoriasis for two years, nothing we used helped. I went to Ebay and bought a small sample of Creme de La Mer Body Creme (one of the world's MOST expensive skincare lines) for her to put on her knees and ankles (the areas she was suffering); the results were nothing short of amazing. I could not afford the original Creme de La Mer, so I found the site on ebay to make my own. So, maybe you could buy a sample size of the product you are thinking about and then find the stores that sell the actives and make your own! Hope this helps.


P.S. I am 43 and using Arbonne, I LOVE IT. I have been using the entire line and I bought it off Ebay.
I have used Clinique's anti-gravity eye cream ($37) and loved it but after a while I guess my eyes got used to the product and it didn't seem to work as well anymore. Now I'm back to using L'oreal and it works great. So it's not the price that determines the quality, you should try out diff. ones and see which one suits you most.
