Hey guys
Do you use anti aging eye-creams? Since I have been diagnosed with KC I havent been able to apply those creams because I always feel my eye get itchy.
Any experiences? Any special brands?
waiting to hear from you.
Cheers

I use one of the clinique eye creams. my eyes dont react or get itchy (if anything it stops my eyes being itchy after my showers) - i actually started using it as my skin was reacting to the eye gel i was using at night. It is about £15 for a small pot however it lasts about 6months or more. It is quite light cream as well.

I am almost embarrased to admit it but I have used eye creams in the last few days! I was given some freebie Clinique for men samples when buying something for my wife.
i do not have KC but do suffer from hayfever and do get the symptoms in my eyes. However I have been able to use the Clinique cream without any problems at all.It has only been 3 or 4 days although in my experience reactions do tend to occur quickly.
I do understand that all the clinique products used around the eyes are approved by Ophthalmologists.
Hope this helps.

There are various eye products across the price range, always look for something which is ophthalmologist tested, otherwise it is trial and error.
SPF [ideally 15] is really the main anti-ageing ingredient of any face cream, not the psuedo science they spout about action nanosomes etc on the adverts.
Clinique do one of the few eye creams with an SPF but there are other good creams around too, No7, Simple, Eucerin. Look for a soft cream or gel-cream because you don't want to drag the skin around your eyes. 'Pat' it it around the eyes and in my experience it's better not to use it at night as it can cause puffiness.
