Hello Moms,
I'm in my thirties and searching for an eye cream that will help with dryness, wrinkles and dark circles. Is anyone using something that they really love? Motherhood is making me look old, lol.

An ex-model who told me she has tried EVERTHING said she swears by Estee Lauder's Re-nutriv eye cream. I just started using it and it has a great silky feel and smells nice, too.

I have recently discovered products from H2O that are awesome for my dry face. There is an H2O store on Michigan Ave. in Chicago, but you can also order online. They usually have great shipping and discount deals.

Hi B.! Here is one more eye cream you can check out. It's called Eye Nourisher - (Sense' Beatiful Science) by Usana Health Sciences. I have been using it for 7 years and it is wonderful!! It is chemical and paraben free and free of all formaldehyde releasing agents which many skin care creams have. Use along with the day/night creams for soft, moisturized skin without the "greasy look" I have had great results and I love the fact that there are no chemicals in it. There are not many skin care lines out there that can say that!! I know that many dermatologists and estheticians recommend this line!! check it out at:

bhooyer.usana.com I hope you have a great week!

Hi B.
I absolutely love Multi-Function Eye Cream by Rodan and Fields Dermatologists. (they are the doctors that created Proactiv Solution and they now have come out with other products). The best part is that you can use it for 60 days and if you don't love the way your eyes look, return it for a FULL refund, no questions asked. It's pricey, but worth it. Pending if you use it 1 or 2x/day, it will last 2-6 months.
I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do. You can only purchase it online. http://CJPhillips.myrandf.com

Good Luck

Motherhood and aging seem to be hitting me from all sides too! Avon has a great line of skincare called Anew, that works to correct signs of aging we already have and prevent more from showing up! The Anew Reversalist line hasa 2-part eye system the sounds like it would be just what you need. You can contact me or any Avon representative to get a sample.

I use Particia Wexlers M.D.'s MMPi-20 Skin Regeneration Serum ( Professtional Strenth). It is at Bath and Body Works. It is a bit pricy but look for BBW coupons or purchase something there and call the number on the receipt and get a coupon for $10 off $30. They also have a sample there to try first to see if you like it. Or even ask the workers for a free sample. Sometimes they have it behind the desk. I totally love this product. I tried it once and have not done w/o it since. Sometimes I even use it on my entire face when the wind makes it to dry. Good Luck

I have found the best stuff for beauty care to be in my kitchen... Dark circles do not always mean 'lack of sleep', either.
I have a few awesome books and recipe cards that I found that use kitchen ingredients and typically, it is less work and the stuff works even better than what you will find elsewhere (mall, avon, arbonne, etc.). I am allergic to a handful of ingredients that are almost always in products and these at-home recipes require hardly much work and time to make, either. And I think it's a ton of fun~ :)

If you want the titles of what I have, let me know... but you can even find this stuff at your local library or bookstore. I love it as I am not busting my wallet on something that doesn't always work anyway.

Oh~ I'll be hitting mid-thirties tomorrow and I do get compliments from my clients that see me and from others... my skin still is in very good condition, even when I do go out into the sun. ;)

If you do not want to make your own, and if you are into natural ingredients only... I would recommend Lush at Somerset Mall (they have other locations, but I visit this one). They have awesome lotions that are very light and work phenomenally! I use quite a bit of their stuff, too. If you are lucky - you may even be able to get a small sample depending on the product. You almost always get a sample of something with your purchase. :)

Avon had some great eye creams. They have different ones for different needs. I haven't like a product of theirs that I haven't liked, and if you happen to not like something, you can return or exchange it for something else.
You should be able to go on the Avon website and type in your address or zip code to find the nearest Avon rep. near you. Good luck!

answers from Houston on

It is unsafe to try all the new products that are coming out there especially when you are going to apply in on your eyes. The eyes are delicate. In order for you to definitely end up with the right cream or treatment generally, visit your doctor and seek his / her guidance. Do not attempt to do a number of self-medication. It is dangerous.I would recommend the Eyelastin because it is clinically proven and completely organic product to work and contains many unique features, including patent Nanoderm Technology.

Hi B.,
I'm a MaryKay Consultant and we have a couple of products that would work for you.
TimeWise Firming Eye Cream:
* As the skin ages, it loses moisture and becomes dry and porous, weakening your skin’s natural barrier that guards against free radical and environmental damage.
* TimeWise Firming Eye Cream works to better protect the skin around the delicate eye area while it counteracts this damage.
o The combined power of a collagen-enhancing peptide duo works to build/restore the supporting structure to revitalize cells for firmer skin.
o Soothing botanical extracts and brightening agents are employed to condition and prepare the skin for moisturization, resulting in a more even skin tone.

TimeWise Target-Action Eye Revitalizer:
* Dark circles and under-eye puffiness may appear due to environmental exposure, UV damage, aging, external irritants, and excess melanin.
* Mary Kay scientists determined the most effective ingredients to address the multiple causes of dark circles and under-eye puffiness.
* Many of these ingredients are botanically derived, and in combination with peptides and other non-botanical ingredients, are able to deliver the most impressive results.

If you are interested in either product please feel free to contact me or check out my website for further info. ____@____.com;www.marykay.com/sunshinemaes;###-###-####

Good luck to you in finding the right product for you.

Well, I love the texture and moisture that Dermalogica Intensive eye cream has. It's not greasy, but still moisturizing and despite it's name sinks in easily for daytime use under makeup, softening any fine wrinkles and hydrating. If money were no object, then I'd purchase La Prairie Cellular eye repair cream.

Hi B.,

My name is C.. Just read your email. I actually work with a company called Arbonne. Have you ever heard of it? It's a 30 yr Swiss-based company, products made in the US. All natural, vegan, no perfumes, waxes, animal by-products, SD alcohol etc.. They have an amazing eye cream. It's wonderful- helps decrease puffiness, get rid of wrinkles and has something called Kojic acid from mushrooms that naturally lightens dark circles. If you want, I can send you a sample in the mail if you promise to use it and let me know what you think of it. If you contact me, I can give you my website, which is connected with Arbonne and has tons of good info. Don't worry, we can take care of your tired mommy eyes, they don't tell you about that stuff when you have kids (: Talk to you soon. *C. WAHM to a 4 1/2yr old son and almost 3 yr old daughter.
