I have lines and minor dark circles under my eyes. I am only 21 so I don't want some strong anti-aging creams. I want something to soften the lines, provide moisture and maybe help with the dark circles and also prevent future aging..
I am current using Clinique all about eyes rich- it does nothing for my lines.
Also my eye contour is fairly dry- so I need something moisturizing.
I'm willing to spend up to $80...
Any recommendations? Please specify your skin condition, how long it took to see results and what you used to achieve them...
In particular- I am looking at dermalogica, decleor or karin herzog...
Any help will be much appreciated |

| I'm 21 also and I use 100% pure's caffeine eye cream and I love it. This eye cream moisturizes really well without causing milia and actually works against dark circles. It's 19$ for 1 oz in a nice pump, so it's not expensive. |

The brand really is "100% pure"
I get it from this place:
http://www.100percentpure.com/
I don't know how expensive their shipping is to Australia, though. |

I actually have a post relating to this eye cream. I got a sample when I made an order on EDS.
I put it on the same night and it stung and burnt like hell!!
I quickly washed it off but my under eye area felt a bit numb for a quite a while.
But I will give it a try again tonight-only because I'm desperate. |

Thanks for that. I've never heard of it, but might do some research on it. |

Gosh! The moment I heard Clinique, I could imagine your problem. That is the worst brand ever. I wouldn't even take it even it's free for me.
I have used cellcosmet, decleor... uh.. the result was OK...
Anyway, go with top brand eye cream like la prairie, sisley, they both can really help to recover your eye line problem. I know it is costly, but trust me, it will work on your eye contour like magic.
The thing with eye creams is that you have to apply them with just right amount, don't over apply it, so you really need a good rich moisture and most product are not moisturizing enough. If they do, they usually are too thick and heavy. I foudn La prairie are very light. Sisley is heavier, but it's very moisturizing. Great esp. for winter time. |

Yeah, Clinique is one of those brands that just makes me shudder!

Thank you both so so much 
Clinique has become my most hated brand. I think I'd rather use a supermarket brand than them again. I'm thinking of coughing up some $ and gettig one of the more expensive once as you suggested.. But I am just worried that I'm too young to be getting anything 'anti-wrinkle'  |

| Have you tried Avenda, its eye cream is good and the price is reasonable. IF your budget is higher, you can try Revive eye cream. |

| I haven't tried either one. I'm happy to spend more for a good one. Have any of you used the Karin Herzog eye cream? |

If you're 21 and have "lines" around your eyes, you probably just need more sleep. The cause definitely isn't aging, as at 21 your skin is still very elastic. I would be hesitant to spend a lot money on luxury brands when you probably don't need them.
I'm 26 and focus mainly in hydration and dark circles when it comes to eye creams. I like Loreal Eye Defense and Revitalift. The former being a lighter weight, almost gel like cream, the latter being a thicker cream.
My favorite is DHC Co-Q10 eye cream; it's the best at lightening dark circles. I also really like DHC Eye Bright and Concentrated Eye cream. |

Once I got the DHC Co-Q10 eye cream for my 26 year old sister and she liked it a lot. |

Lack of sleep is probably the biggest cause of my lines. I am a full time law student and get about 6 hours of sleep a night (and that's a good night)  |

SAS I-Bright cream works well for eliminating dark circles and isn't going to cost an arm and a leg.
I agree: stop using Clinique now!! It is so harsh! |
