I am looking for any information on a great eye cream. Any opinions?
Eye Creams?

Burt's Bees eye cream is pretty good IMHO. They have a few different ones, they are all worth a look. Thalgo men's eye gel is OK as well (if you can get it at a good price). My next one to try is Alba Botanica.
I wouldn't bother with L'Occitane - it's very average, quite expensive, and (like all LO products) needs more to get a decent result. Their old Almond/Apple eye gel (I believe sadly discontinued) was really good.

What does an eye cream do exactly?
I recently purchased Chagrin Valley Face & Eye Mousse. It's very soothing, and while it's not going to get rid of the wrinkles around the eyes, I find it's very moisturizing and I don't get the burning sensation around my eyes when I smile or laugh too much. Also, it's only $7. You can't go wrong.
Anthony Logistics makes a decent one, but I used to date a model who swore by a tube of Preparation H, kept in the fridge. Nothing brought down the puffiness like that did. It pays to date a model......in more ways than one..Ahem..

I've heard of that trick which did work unfortunately the ingredient that helps was taken out.
Another case of "reformulated" screwing up a product.

Does the Prep H have to be refrigerated?
Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado. The best thing about this one is that it doesn't migrate into the eye like petroleum-based ones can (particularly important if you wear contacts). It's not inexpensive but a little goes a long way. Kiehl's has started making a couple eye products specifically for men, but I haven't tried them yet.

I have used and like Clinique and Zirh eye creams. Zirh is a bit runnier and can make your eyes look wet for a while. Clinique, for me has the edge but is quite expensive.
Check out what Nancy Boy has to say about what eye creams really can and can't do.
For example:
"None, including ours, do anything for dark circles or puffiness (even though some of them claim to) because no product can...Eye creams, serums, gels, etc. are the most profitable products in any skincare line. That's because each manufacturer simply takes its moisturizers, puts them in very, very small packages and charges very, very high prices for them...The only under-eye problem that can be addressed with an over-the-counter product is fine lines and wrinkles."
It's a refreshingly honest thing to read from a company that sells skin care products.

Unbelievable honesty and just straight forward, love it! I do like their shaving cream!
Nancy Boy generally delivers in most aspects. Some I've found to be duds, but they still shoot you straight.
I have been using the obagi cream for about two months and my skin looks so good. I receive compliments as it is very suitable for my dry skin. I was sold the obagi eye cream from an plastic surgeon, who explained me that my face will start peeling and I will see wrinkles improvement soon, and indeed I am very contented. But you may visit the obagi page for more information.

So did the Nancyboy opinion nullify everyone's thoughts on eye creams? I sometimes use some of my normal moisturizer around my eyes but later it ends up burning - I'm hoping some of these suggestions don't burn.
I've tried a bunch of different products and I partly disagree with the Nancy Boy statement because I think some of them have done at least a little bit for dark circles, wrinkles and such but not as much as I would have hoped. I've been using the Nancy Boy Ultramarine night cream only under my eyes for a little over a week now and I do think I have less lines already. It does feel really good going on and although it's not cheap, if I only use it under my eyes the jar should last a long time.
Getting a good night's sleep can help with the dark circles, but only plastic surgery can really get rid of bags under the eyes. Moisturizers can help with fine lines but that's about it. I will occasionally use an eye cream, but most often just use my face moisturizer around my eyes when doing the rest of my face. The plus for an eye cream is it would be (or should be) formulated for use around the eyes, preventing any burning or discomfort that a face moisturizer might cause.
First day using hemorrhoid cream under my eyes....
unfortunately with those/most of us with apnea even getting a good night's sleep is not possible
