Here's things to consider when choosing an eye cream

The miracle cure for crows feet and puffy eyes is yet to be found.
SCRIPPS HOWARD
Got a new set of crows feet you would like to send south for the winter? Puffy eyes every morning? You're not alone of course.
The delicate area around the eyes is much more susceptible to wrinkles and other signs of aging, which leads to an almost endless supply of eye creams promising to mask your advancing years.
Dermatologists disagree on whether these creams actually work, but one thing they do agree on is that the area around your eyes needs a gentler moisturizer. If you're going the eye cream route, here's what to look for on the label:
If fine lines are your problem, look for a product with glycerin. It's an ingredient also found in some soaps and works by temporarily plumping up the skin and trapping moisture.
Research shows that products with vitamin C and retinol may help firm up the skin.
If puffy eyes are your issue, try a product that contains cucumber or caffeine.
Eye products tend to come in creams, serums or oils. Creams are the most popular option because they tend to be the most moisturizing. Serums (or gels) are better for blemish prone skin but they can also be drying. Oils spread on easily, which means they won't pull the skin but they are best used at night since they can leave a shiny look behind.
Handle with care
Whatever product you choose, be sure to apply it with a gentle touch. Too much pulling and prodding around this delicate area will make your problems worse.
In some dermatologist monitored tests, very little or no reduction of wrinkles was observed. Sorry ladies! Just remember to use a gentle moisturizer around your eyes. The search for the miracle eye cream goes on.
