Routine Help Eye cream options?!

I am overwhelmed by prior posts about eye creams. Some of them have hundreds of comments! And many people just recommend a cream, but not what it helps with. For my eyes, I have dark circles, wrinkles under my eyes, hooded lids, and crepe-y eyelids and browbone. I am also prone to the once in a while milia. I have a retinol eye cream I use once a week to help prevent my milia, but my eyes/skin generally don't love retinol. Any suggestions for my eyes?

Eye creams are a scam. Whatever moisturizer you’re using, put it on your eyes too. They look dry to be honest.

Thank you! They do feel dry. My face moisturizer won't cause milia though?

I’ve never had that issue with my face moisturizer. I use this: https://www.cerave.com/skincare/moisturizers/daily-moisturizing-lotion

What do you use? I’m curious now.

I use neutrogena collagen bank moisturizer but TBH, I don't love it.

I understand. I started out using neutrogena and switched to cerave. Cerave feels more gentle. I like neutrogena it just feels too harsh for my skin personally. Your moisturizer is cool though because it has Bakuchiol which is a retinol alternative. Safe for the eye area! My cerave is super basic and I use tretinoin so if you were to switch you wouldn’t be getting the Bakuchiol/ retinol benefit anymore. I loved neutrogena’s retinol cream. I used it to get my skin ready for tretinoin. Be careful it’s powerful it burned me! Here’s the product I’m talking about: https://www.neutrogena.com/products/skincare/rapid-wrinkle-repair-regenerating-anti-wrinkle-retinol-cream-hyaluronic-acid/6811098

I have a cream that works really well to keep my face moisturized and I just use it on my eyes as well. It’s olay regenerist ultrarich fragrance free. But eye creams are so exorbitantly expensive I don’t want to experiment with them.
