I am having a hard time finding an eye cream that will moisturize, but also work with a concealor over it. Most of the time, eye cream is too greasy and makeup doesn't stay on, or not enough moisture and skin looks like I have a ton of wrinkles. Anyone PLEASE 
have some ideas. |

Juvena Juvedical Renewing Eye Cream, I have been using this for the past couple of months, its light and moisturising and I have had no problems applying makeup over it.
I have just started PSF StimuColl-C and it seems fine under makeup.
I have also used [A'Kin] White Tea and Cornflower Soothing and Relaxing Eye Day Gel, it is incredibly soothing and absorbs quite quickly, it's fine under makeup but haven't used it enough to comment on how moisturising it is.

| I've been using Dermalogica Power Firm Eye/Lip and that seems to work well with foundation and concealer on top. It does seem to be moisturizing enough; I was starting to develop fine lines under my eyes (made worse with Clinique!) and after using this, it really seemed to help "plump" them up. |

| I've been using Amore Pacific's Time Response Eye Cream in the morning. I find that it leaves the skin around my eyes very hydrated, but not oily. I am able to use a concealer without any problems. |

I have been using MAC Fast Reponse. I have found that it really brightens my eye area and doesn't cause my concealer to shift.
It also does a great job of depuffing eyes. However, i'M 26 and don't have wrinkles yet, so I'm not sure how it would work with wrinkles.

| Jurlique Eye Gel is the best under make-up IMO |

| Mac Fast Response is great under concealer, but it doesn't hydrate much. I use Dr. Hauschka Quince Day Dream around my eyes (the smallest amount is plenty), let it sink in, and then apply a more "primer" sort of product, like Fast Response, just before using concealer. |

Just had a thought, and don't know whether anyone's tried this, but would adding a little of Dr Hauschka's Bronze Concentrate to an eye cream help to disguise dark circles?
I have actually ordered some and will try this out when it arrives. I'll post back to let you know how I get on with it. |

| That's an interesting idea - kind of making the eye cream into a concealer product too. Dark circles are my big bug-bear too, would love to know if it helps! |

How would that work?? Wouldn't the bronze concentrate make a general dark area under the eyes?
On the one hand it would be nice to have those insane white rings under my eyes that I get with under eye creams. But I wouldn't want shadows either.
What I've been trying is the Hauschka translucent foundation under my eyes. It looks natural. I just use it on certain spots, not all over. Mostly my eyes, nose and chin. I've been doing that after the Normalizing Day Oil and liking it.
But I also have the bronze concentrate at home so I'll try it and let you know. |

| how about valmont eye lip contour cream? It is so rich. I use it daily. But seriously, I never use concealer even foundation around my eyes. |

I really hope this works. Fingers crossed. |

Okay, I tried mixing the Dr H Concentrate with my eye cream.
Unfortunately, today has been really, really dark and so it's difficult to get a good impression of how well it worked. However, I'd say that, whilst it helped tone down the dark circles, it certainly hasn't concealed them very much at all.
Not the success I was hoping it'd prove to be, sadly.
However, I do like the Concentrate. Mixed in with my moisturiser, it gives a nice glow and lift to my complexion.
Back to the dark circle drawing board, then... |

It is taking half a year to get rid of your darck circles? If so, I don't think it is an effective cream. |

In fact, I didn't realize when it worked, I just feel my skin around eye area getting better. |

Mmmm
What does everybody else think? Do you think it should take that long to lighten circles? I know that normally with new skincare products, you should notice a difference within 3 months. |

| I use eye masks everyday, it calls seaweed $ aloe gel for eyes. I keep it in a freezer to store and use it for 10 minutes before my eye cream. |
