This is a good point.. Maybe you'd want another creme for the eyes that sinks in a little quicker? But aside from that it shouldn't really matter, right?The skin under the eyes is the same, albeit thinner and without collagen, as the skin on the rest of your face, and it all needs the same things: moisture, nutrients, and sun protection. What does an eye creme do that a gentle face moisturizer with antioxidants & vitamins and SPF does not?
Thanks for all the replies!
I started moisturizing my face a lot last summer, and I noticed some scars have faded and, even more importantly, the lines in my forehead have almost disappeared! Yay! And my skin isn't as dry and flaky as it used to be! I'm a moisturizer convert...

One more thing: don't we already pull our eyes when removing make-up, even when it's done gently? Would it make sense to dab the eyecreme then?
The skin aroung the eyes is different and if you use a regular moisturizer your eyes can get puffy. You should gently dab and pat eye cream, concealer, etc around your eyes. Never rub or pull the skin around your eyes. People who rub their eyes have more wrinkles. I have tried numerous eye creams and sold skin care and cosmetics for years in college. A good starter for younger women is clinique all about eyes. I use Loreal revitalift eye in the morning and RoC at night.
