S/O skin care: What do you do for your under eyes? [EDIT]

in Success after IF
So I think I should be doing something. I do nothing.

I want to keep things as tight as they can - I wear glasses (so no big sunglasses for me *pout*) and so I squint a lot in the sun and noticed when I moved to CA I started to get little lines....maybe it was age (but I was only 24 at the time) or it was being in the sun and squinting. I now live in Seattle so less sun to contend with but the squinting = worry for me.

Thoughts? What do you do?

EDIT: Ok but what does "eye cream" mean? Maybe I shoudl have been more specific. What KIND of eye cream? What brand? What ingredients do you look for?

    I usually use an eye cream, but not all the time. I can't tell if it helps or not, I still feel like the skin under my eyes is terribly thin and lined. One trick that I was told is to apply with your ring finger, not your index finger, as you won't use too much pressure which can pull the skin and make it worse.

    ETA: I think this is the one I most recently have used. As I said, I can't tell if it helps. I still think I look older than my age. Maybe I'd look workse without it?

    Stalking.

    Always in search of a good eye cream.

    I've got super thin skin under there already.  Aging hasn't helped matters.

    I'm tempted to try one of those caffeine sticks but I know that's a temporary fix for one bad morning.

    I need to find something that's really good for long term help.

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.

    I use the same night-time cream on my whole face and under my eyes (see skin care post - I posted a pic of the product I use there) - during the day I use this - it's light, has a cool feeling, and I like it.
