In Search of the Perfect Eye Cream

I have been looking for a good eye cream for years. I don't suffer from puffy eye but I do have dark circles and the skin around my eyes gets dry. I also have a few fine lines under my eyes from squinting but no crows feet and I would like some age prevention from my moisturizer. I also want something I can wear under makeup during the day without it causing my make up to slide around or settle into lines. Oh, and I have really sensitive skin so I need something that is nonirritating. Is that too much to ask for? Apparently so.


I have tried all the Heaven eye creams/gels/masks (not just the one in the photo) but I found they all irritated the eye area and made it feel dry. I've also tried all the Burt's Bees eye creams with the same result. The Jurlique Herbal Recovery cream just really didn't seem to do anything good or bad. I like Eminence Organics Bearberry eye cream, its relatively moisturizing, very soothing, and helps a little with dark circles, I haven't noticed much effect on lines so far but its only been about 3 weeks. I'm still trying Kiehls Midnight Recovery cream on my right eye at night to compare to the eminence one and right now it seems pretty comparable, maybe a little better for dark circles but I have only been using it for 3 days. The next one that I plan to purchase is Origins Dr. Andrew Weil Mega-Bright eye cream because I got a sample of it from Sephora and it seemed to have a miraculous effect on my dark circles, not irritate my eyes, moisturize, and not interfere with my makeup.

Let you know if you have any suggestions or products that you would recommend.
