    Hi rumour, I dont know about that. I think its more about your skin condition and genetics than reaching a certain age. Now in saying that ive been buying eye potions n lotions since I was about 16 :rolleyes:

    I think for younger eyes a light cream or gel is great for depuffing - Elizabeth Arden to a good one called Good Morning Eyes( i think..), but for wrinkles or dehydration a heavier one is much better - Clinique do a great one (pinky/peach tub)

    OP, you're only 25, not 45!

    You should use a different cream around your eyes than the rest of your face anyway, as the skin around your eyes is much thinner and much more sensitive.

    I say just use a normal eye cream, IMO 25 is too young to be using anti-wrinkle cream or anything really strong.

    Sorry, I just assumed that's what you were talking about!

    I've use Nivea anti-shadow eye cream, which I found very good, and it lasts a long time as you only need the tiniest bit. I've also tried Simple Kind to Eyes balm, and I wouldn't recommend it.

    I would highly recommend the eye cream by Benefit. i use it everyday and think it is fantastic!

    I am 25 too and think it is incredibly important to use eye cream- evven a anti wrinkle cream at this age.

    Looking after your skin is very important esopecially the eye area as it is very sensitive and can be 'pulled' at quite a lot- taking off eye make up, etc

    Definitely invest in an eye cream- any one but i would recommend Benefit

    Clinique All Abuout Eyes Rich is lovely, creamy and cooling. It's supposed to help with dark circles, puffiness and fine lines. I find it really good.
    A Clinique counter should be able to give you a little sample pot to try out.

    I don't think 25 is too young to use an eye cream, or even an anti-wrinkle. It's better to invest in your skin now, than when you're middle aged and can't do much about it! :eek: I use Nivea eye cream, leaves the skin around my eyes so soft.
