Do you have crow's feet, dry skin around the eyes, puffiness & dark eye circles? Never fear, this potent eye cream can make them all disappear!

The skin around your eyes is very sensitive. It is thin & very much prone to damage. Moisturizing the skin in that area is essential to prevent skin damage & premature aging. These days, we are so spoilt for choice with the boundless options for eye treatments. It also makes shopping for eye cream a daunting task.

Here are some things to remember to help you make the right decision.

Eye treatments come in different forms and textures such as gels, creams, serum or patches. Do your homework to find out which one will work best for you.

Keeping your eyes looking young and beautiful shouldn't have to break the bank. Of course, you want to make sure that the amount you're spending should be within your means. Eye treatments cost anywhere from as low as $5 to as high as $1000 a jar. With the many choices around, you'll be able to find one that fits your budget.

We road-tested one, the Etude House Eye Cream, for a week. Here's the lowdown:

1. What's in it: The Etude House Eye Cream has 64% hydrolyzed collagen & baobab extract among others. Super or hydrolyzed collagen is not the usual collagen because it has been processed to make its molecules smaller, making it faster for your skin to absorb the nutrients. Collagen keeps your skin cells 'together' and prevents it from sagging. It smooths out wrinkles brightens the skin around your eyes. This is perfect if anti-aging is one of your main concerns. The exotic baobab extracts tone and moisturize the skin around your eyes. This light eye cream absorbs easily and allows your makeup to glide on smoothly.
2. Texture, Packaging & Size: The Etude House Eye Cream is a light cream. It is very lightweight but packs a lot of moisture. The light cream makes it easy to be absorbed into your skin. It does not clump or flake when you put makeup over it. This eye cream comes in a 28ml jar. The size is just right, not too heavy if you need to take it with you for travel.
3. Effectiveness: This superb eye cream claims to smooth eye wrinkles, reduce dark circles & moisturize the skin around your eyes. After a week, our wrinkles were lessened and the skin around the eye area was smoother. The dark circles were only slightly lessened. However, with continued use, the eye area will be brighter.
4. Price: This eye cream is light on the pocket. The Etude House Eye Cream retails for only £18.
