I'm 22 years old, and I noticed little lines starting to form under and around my eyes a few months ago. I used Principal Secret Eye Gel for a long time, and really liked it. However, it's kind of expensive, and I want a cheaper one that I can find in local stores. I'm using Lubriderm's, but it doesn't seem to do anything. In fact, I've been noticing the lines more since I started using it. Can anyone give me recs for one? I'm looking for moisture and prevention of fine lines/wrinkles. Thanks!

Have you tried using camelia oil, jojoba oil, or almond oil? I've heard others on the skin care forum who have had alot of luck getting rid of fine lines and wrinkles by using these natural oils. I personally use jojoba oil as a moisturizer and love it. Cucumbers on the eyes supposably help to smooth out wrinkles. Try including more raw foods and fresh juices into your diet, drink lots of water, avoid too much sun exposure, get plenty of rest, and try to stay stress-free...every little thing helps

I bought jojoba oil, but I'm unhappy with it. It's too light for me, doesn't seem to do much. It was expensive, too!

I've heard good stuff about almond oil. Might try it next, in conjunction with jojoba. Thanks!

"Jason" vitamin E cream. Works wonders.

All the eye gels I've tried have made the lines worse. I don't know why. I gave up on them years ago. There is one I use when my allergies are bad because it soothes the skin, but it doesn't help the appearance at all. For one thing, it only comes in one shade, which is much darker than my skin tone.

Hmm, I've heard of Jason before, but I haven't seen it around. Is it like a department store product? I'll have to look into that one.
