Best Moisturizing Eye Cream

You could try Clinique's Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream, I have also used Dior's Capture Total eye creams both as samples. They were both very good but I am more concerned with puffiness around my small, slanted eyes rather than wrinkles. The dryness I experience is the inner-corner and over, with some 'flakiness', both creams improved the quality of the skin.

I am recent total convert to Dior's skincare, and apart from the fragrance in most of the products I am a total fan.

If you can find something good without any fragrance go for that.

I don't believe you need a separate eye cream to your normal moisturiser, as these are usually at least twice the price of normal face moisturisers. The purest, lightest face oil should be a sound bet for allover.

Whichever eye cream, don't go too heavy and don't go too near the actual eye as you'll end-up with puffy eyes (again, my main concern).

@McLoverly I highly recommend Mad Hippie’s eye cream. I started using it on March 6 and haven’t looked back. It’s the most soothing wonderful stuff on the planet - not that expensive - a little bit goes a long way. I bought out all the stock at Whole Foods Market when it was on sale.

ETA: I smooth this all around my eyes - lids, lower eye, corners. It’s just that good. Very light fragrance that disappears quickly.
 
I'm liking Soveral Forever Young Eye Cream - very moisturising ( I use it at night) and reasonably priced to boot. Feels really nice and works very well for smoothing/wrinkles imo. In a tiny glass pot so best to use an applicator of some sort...
 
My eye area tend to get very dry and I've tried many eye creams over the years. Here are the ones that worked for me:
  • Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Eye Cream (my go-to: it's affordable when on sale, easy to find, evened out wrinkles, moisturizing but not greasy)
  • Shiseido Bio-Performance Glow Revival Eye Treatment (harder to find, but also works wonderfully, affordable when on sale)
  • Shiseido White Lucent Anti-Dark Circles Eye Cream (not as moisturizing as the above two, but a good day eye cream)
  • Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb (good day eye cream for summer, very cheap and always on sale, but not moisturizing enough to colder months)
  • La Mer Eye Concentrate (such a luxurious and amazing eye cream, but unfortunately above my budget)
  • SK-II Skinpower Eye Cream (feels luxurious too and works wonderfully, more expensive than the Shiseido ones but not nearly as much as La Mer)
  • Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Complex (works great, affordable when on sale)
Ones that did not work for me:
  • Kiehl's Avocado Eye Cream (for some reason it always stung my eyes and makes my eyes water, also caused flakes in the corner of my eyes, and wasn't that moisturizing for me, did nothing for wrinkles)
  • Origins Ginzing Eye Cream (did not moisturize and did nothing for wrinkles)
I always apply around my eyes - lids, under eye, inner and outer corners (taking care to massage the corners more)

Neocutis makes a nice one called Lumière Illuminating Eye Cream (I use the "Firm" version ("Rich" version is also very nice) - it even has a drop of caffeine for good measure :loveeyes:

Creme de La Mer also make a very nice eye cream - pricey, but a little goes a long way.

Wow! Thank you all for the great suggestions. I totally forgot that I have a container of Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Complex. I used to really like that serum so I’ll give it another try before moving down the list.

I also use Estée Lauder I have used it for years, recently I bought la mer and found it very moisturizing for dry eyes, that’s also my area of concern.
