Okay, so I'm kind of joking about the aging, but kind of not. I'm nearly 32 and I'm starting to notice some darkening/wrinkleage (yep, that's a technical term) under my eyes and I'm thinking I need to step up my game for nighttime under eye cream (I use Origins "Ginzing" in the daytime and like it). Any good recs? Also, does anyone use products with Retinol? If so, how do you like it?

I really like Kiehl's Abyssine eye cream. I've been using eye creams since I was 18 - ha!

I use the Olay regenerist one-- I can't tell you how much it actually works, but I'm your age and feel like I should use something. My skin is really sensitive and tends to react to anything besides Olay, so I try to stick with that brand in general.
I also really like the face cream that comes in the red glass tub-- the one that "beat the $700 cream" or whatever they say in the ads. The ads worked because I was like, OOH gotta get some of that!

Raw cucumbers work for me!

Gaaah, I need an eye cream, heck I need a facial and a new concealer. Mama's not getting a lot of sleep over here!
I really like the Decelor line, pricy, but it kind of seems to do something.

@fancyfunction: Wow, 18?! You are way ahead of the game. I've never used Kiehl's for skin care, but I have always heard good things.
@Foodnerd81: A lot of women swear by Olay products, so there must be something to that.

@fancyfunction: @meredithNYC: A friend of mine in college started using the Creme de la mer stuff (like, $$$$) and the guy at the counter was like, how old are you? You don't need to be using this so young. Her response was that she intends to STAY looking this young, thankyouverymuch. Of course, her parents were funding her expensive skin care habit at the time which made it easier to say that

@meredithNYC: I love everything from Kiehl's! I used to live a few blocks from their original store so I was always in there. I also swear by their lip balm - always put it on as a base before gloss.

It's super pricey but I loooove la prarie. It feels great and my mom swears by it.

I don't use eye cream yet, but I'm interested in trying some. I just bought some Physicians Formula concealer, and holy cow do I look less tired using that stuff! It's magic.
FWIW, I'm 27, but I've always had wicked dark circles under my eyes.
