I am torn between the following three (and if anyone brings a better choice, than more) eye creams.
Eminence Herbal Eye Contour Cream. Really good reviews I found so far, I like the ingredients that are listed, but not all of them are listed so it's a bummer:
Jasmine Flower Petal: carotinoids, Vitamins C & P, nourishing agent
• Pectin: enriches, nourishes and moisturizes the skin
• Corn Germ Oil: Vitamins E & F
• St. John’s Wort: anti-wrinkle, nourishing
• Marigold: soothing, hydrating
• Biocomplex™: an antioxidant booster of Vitamins A, Ester-C, E, Coenzyme Q10, Alpha Lipoic Acid
Juice Beauty Green Apple Nutritient Eye Cream
I like it, it has good reviews (found so far), but I don't like Sodium hydroxide, and tetrasodium EDTA which is a preservative normally used in higher pH environments:
organic juices of pyrus malus (apple) juice, daucus carota sativa (carrot) juice & aloe barbadensis leaf juice, organic cucumis sativus (cucumber) extract, organic plant oils of helianthus annuus (sunflower) & persea gratissima (avocado), camellia sinensis (organic green tea) leaf extract, organic essential fatty acids of oenothera biennis (evening primrose), linum usitatissimum (linseed) seed & borago officinali (borage) seed, glycerin, limnanthes alba (meadowfoam) seed oil, phytonadione (vitamin K1), retinyl palmitate (vitamin A), magnesium ascorbyl phosphate (vitamin C), tocopherol (vitamin E), cetearyl glucoside, ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10), thioctic acid (alpha-lipoic acid), dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE), dipeptide-2, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-3, phenoxyethanol, hesperidin methyl chalcone (vitamin P), sodium hyaluronate, cetearyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, potassium sorbate, steareth-20, xanthan gum, tetrasodium edta, sodium hydroxide, azulene, citrus aurantium (orange blossom) pure essential oil
And last Caudalie Pulpe Vitaminee 1st Wrinkle Eye Cream for Eye and Lips
which really doesn't have much info on what's in it, except that it's without parabens or phenoxyethanol. Fragrance-free. No animal ingredients or artificial colorings.
It list this, but not sure if that's the full list: Stabilized grape-seed polyphenols, ceramides 3, tetrapeptides, horse chestnut, liquorice, witch hazel, fern, plant glycerine, calendula
I am looking for more of a moisturizer, yet one that's not too watery, and with vitamins and some anti aging benefits.
Please any educated advice, as well as knowledge is really appreciated. |

| Having used the Juice Beauty eye cream, I must say I wouldn't recommend it personally. It went "off" after ~1 month, and I've had rxns to a couple of their other products. |

| zverenok - Although the Eminence and Caudalie may or may not be good, I'd be more inclined to trust the John Masters simply because they list the ingredients. With the other two, you don't know how far down the list the active ingredients are, or what nasties may be lurking in there. |

Has anyone ever tried/used Eminence, Caudali or John Masters?
John Masters, really looks simplistic on their ingredients, even Dr. Hauschka is comparable to that, right? |

Dr. Hauschka's products are more suitable for me. I'm oil combination skin, Dr. Hauschka's cleanser cream, toner and mask fit me well. But I do not dare to use its rose line, which are too rich for me. |

Well, thanks. That wasn't the question anyways.
Dr. Hauschka has Rose Light cream which i use.
I am actually asking for eye products specifically. |

I actually agree with SusieQ on that one. There arent any true reasons that an eye cream is essential in any skincare routine apart from maybe being based on more recent actives used to directly target the eye (think eyeliss).
I do use an eye cream but that is only because it's something extra to smother on  |

Dermstore and Skincarerx usually have all the ingredients listed for everything they sell.
prob not the % of active stuff,but at least an ingredient list. |

I agree with Susie and Echo. Eye creams are not needed. Your regular facial moisturizer will do just fine. If you want to use a more moisturizing product around your eyes but not on your face, buy a thicker face cream and use it around your eyes.
Eye creams are a scam, especially the price you pay per ounce.
There is nothing special in the ingredients just for the eye area. |

Have not used Eminence products so no comments.
Between Juice Beauty and Caudalie (as a brand), I'd choose Caudalie for seemingly higher quality products. |

skin around the eye is very delicate, after age of 25 give or take, your metabolism slows down, and you need to start introducing skin routine.
You may not need a cream, but you need to ensure to moisturize eye skin but not overdo it. In other words, if you have no problems , all you want to do is make sure the area around eye is hydrated, you don't need any heavy duty ingredients.
I'd suggest Dr. H daily eye revitalizer - it's veeery lightweight and moisturizes without being heavy. |

Might as well try all three, no pot of eye cream lasts for ever 
Having tried an enormous amount of them over the years,  ,I'd say they are much of a muchness and a bit of a rip off. |
