Well Worth the Cost
All eye creams seem to come in tiny .5oz / 15ml containers. I supopse in a way it makes sense - you only use a few drops at a time around your sensitive eyes. You don't want a giant tub of cream going bad by your bed for months while you get through it. In theory by having a small container just about when the lotion starts to fade and age you've run out of it. I know with handmade lotions I make the recipes say they'll last a month at the most before you want to discard them and make a new batch.
I really like the Olay Regenerist eye cream. The container is great - the little pump makes it easy to get out just the few drops you need. You put a few along your lower lid and then gently rub them into the area. The lotion stays put and doesn't get into my eyes. It also doesn't have any fumes or aromas to make my eyes water. I'm the one whose eyes will tear if our cat wanders next to me and rubs my shoulder so my eyes are generally rather sensitive.
You can turn the pump so that it locks into an open position great for if you need to travel.
I use this each morning and evening. I really can tell the difference that my eyes look less tired that the skin looks more healthy. And really it makes sense. All skin needs moisture to stay healthy. That skin beneath and around your eyes is extremely thin so if any skin on your body is going to show dehydration first it would be your eyes. People look at your eyes all the time when they talk to you so they notice that pretty quickly.
The downside of course is that eye cream is rather pricey - but again for the above reasons I don't think it's as bad as it might seem at first. You use tiny amounts. The cream is specially formulated to be safe for use near your eyes and to be light enough to absorb into that delicate skin. You really DO need to take care of that skin area in a special way since the skin is so delicate. And it's well worth it to do that since people who talk to you are generally looking at your face and your eyes when they do so.
I tend to be frugal but this is one of the areas where I think taking good care of yourself is worth it in the long run.More detail ...
