Hi everyone
I'm having a real problem with crows feet and wrinkles around my right eye. That's right, only on the right. I have determined that it has nothing to do with the side i sleep on since i switch back and forth and have just come to the conclusion that I either have stronger muscles on that side (causing the wrinkles) or the skin is not as "healthy" on that side for some strange reason.
Regardless, I am now trying to find a good eye cream that can help slow the development of these wrinkles.
I was using Cliniques All About Eyes but i think this actually makes my skin too soft and thin so the wrinkles are more prominent. I am currently using an anti-wrinkle eye cream by loreal and it is so-so. No real difference.
What does everyone here use? And how effective is it?
Thanks!!!:grinhappy:

I use ROC nighttime eye cream, good for dark circles and also wrinkles. I also dab some almond kernel oil on my face and around my eyes before I go to bed.
In the daytime, I use the ROC daytime undereye cream.
I have very minimal lines around my eyes and I 'm 47.

I noticed a reduction in crow's feet (and fine lines all over) when I started using oils to moisturize. Extra virgin olive oil, jojoba, and extra virgin coconut oil all work well for this; but the EVCO is absorbed best by my skin. Love that stuff!
Now, specifically for under eye moisture I use Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado (http://www.kiehls.com/_us/_en/catalog/product.aspx?CatCode=AXE_Face&TopCat=F1_Eye_AreaPrep&prdcode=258). I didn't realize just how dry my skin was under my eyes until I started using this and saw how much better I looked with it. :blush: Milia disappeared, makeup wore better, and I still don't have any crow's feet. :whoohoo: It's a bit pricey for a teeny tiny jar; but it's so concentrated that it lasts FOREVER.

Thanks for the recommendations!!! I'm excited to try some new products. I'm hoping that these fine lines can be reduced as I think the rest of my skin is in pretty good shape and my mom who is 58 has amazing skin. Unfortunately, my dad is a little on the wrinkly side (but he also has alot of years in the sun without protection, had a small cancerous spot to prove that!) so hopefully I wont take after him in the skin area. LOL. I love my daddy but want my mom's skin!
Thanks again. I'll eventually post results once i have tried a new product for awhile. Not sure which one i'm going to try first yet either. Hmmm, decision decisions! :grinhappy:

My favorite eye cream is Origins Eye Doctor. :soppy: I've been using it for years and even though I don't use it regularly, it's still the only eye cream that I completely love.

I've been using DHC Q10 Eye Cream and Avalon Organics Co Q10 Wrinkle Defense Serum. I've been using these two for a little while now and I can say there is firming & lifting when I use these consistantly. So I think these do a pretty decent job of keeping crows feet at bay.
I just started using a homemade vitamin C serum w/hyaluronic acid and I can definitely see an overall brightening and reduction of some of my *small lines*.
Also, I love DHC Concentrated Eye Cream for moisture.

I noticed the faint beginnings of crow's feet earlier this year and started using a drop of jojoba oil on them. It's working wonders.:whoohoo:

I like to use pure raw unrefined shea butter, organic virgin coconut cream, jojoba oil and grapeseed oil, they all have done wonders for my skin. The few fine lines and wrinkles I had around my eyes are now gone. I also use pure orgainc aloe vera gel around my eyes and on my face.

I've been using avocado oil and have noticed less fine lines.
