i'm a newbie to applying eye creams - how should i do this? directly onto eyelid and under the eye? or is that too close to the eye?

You know what happened to me with this cream, I had bought two of them, I finished one with no problem and started the second one and that second one gave me a bad reaction. I had to stop it.

I wouldn't recommend on the eye lids or directly under the eye. The closest area would be an inch below the eye. It did help with bags I have about an inch below my eyes where the top of my cheekbones start.

this amazing cream can be used on eye lids and under makeup. It really works.

It's applied to the base of the eyelashes on the lid. Just think of it as a clear liquid eyeliner. Make sure you shake it before applying and don't put so much that some may get in your eye. I've done that a couple of times, and it doesn't hurt but makes you see blurry for a bit.

There is also the possibility that you applied it a bit too firmly to the tender skin; that can make your eyes temporarily puffy. The product seems harmless enough, but perhaps, as C. Keeney suggested, you have an allergy. I would give it and any other eye cream a rest until the eyes are back to normal; then apply it very lightly and see if the result is the same; if so, toss it out.

I find serum to be more effective, more gentle, and more appropriate. any good brand will do. (e.g youth code facial serum is great too, under regular moisturizer, for daily use.) I would not use eye cream after discovering serum. much better moist, long lasting effect.

actually, i do both, but i'm all for overkill when it comes to the fine lines around my eyes. just make sure that the serum/cream/etc has small enough molocules to get into the skin.

Do you pull your lower lid down, and put the gel next to your lid. Easier than trying to put it into your eye.

I probably would not use it as an eye cream, and wouldnt use other facial creams either. The skin cells around the eyes are different from the rest of the face and benefit from a cream that is specifically formulated for them.

Hi yes, cut just the round tip and just use 1 drop for both eyes. Place 1 drop on your finger and touch your fingertips together and apply around the eyes and then do the same with another drop for the face and if you want to use on forehead. It's concentrated so a little goes a long way. You must use morning and evening and wait at least 5 minutes before applying any other product. Use this first after cleansing. I hope you get great results!

I apply it around my own eye area and have had no problems. I've used it for over a year. I do use caution, of course, not to get it into my eye when applying it. I also do NOT put it on my eyelid.

I use it every morning. I let it dry, it can be a little sticky on your skin and then I use an eye cream over it. I use the eye concealer after that. I would definitely recommend to use an eye cream after this product. It doesn't take much for both eyes just a small pump and it's lasted me for 6 weeks.

I was told that I could use the serum on the upper eye area as well. However, I was sold the Replenishing Eye Cream for the upper lid. I have used the serum on the upper lid but it interfers with my makeup (too oily) but the eye cream on the upper lid works better.Retha

I do, just use a Q-Tip or small toothbrush to apply it so you don't get it into your eyes. I imagine that would hurt!

I use under my eye and on my eyelid and have had no problems. As to the loose skin, I would have to say it depends upon how "loose" it is. I have noticed considerable tightening around my eyes since I have been using the products. I use all of the Skin Medica products and love them!

I use coconut, olive oil and almond oil depending on what I'm using it for. You can use some of the oils in eye cream. You need to know which ones first....don't make the mistake of using a Hot EO. Also, if you're using a Hot EO on your face, be sure to use enough oil with it (ie. Coconut, olive, etc.)
