Is Eye Cream really any different to Face Cream?

I know they use to say the skin around the eye is fragile %26amp; to use special cream. But I have since read that moisturizer is fine around the eyes you dont have to pay the earth for special eye cream. This was in the paper with hints to help a budget. Any ideas??Is Eye Cream really any different to Face Cream?
There is little difference between eye cremes and regular cremes.The only real difference is that eye cremes seldom contain sunscreens and your eyes are more prone tp sun damage and wrinkles from sun damage than the rest of your face. None contain anything that will de-puff eyes or eliminate dark circles, that's just wishful thinking and advertising hype/ You don't need a special eye creme. one note: if your skin creme contains anything the irritates the eyes, then it shouldn't be used on the face because it's probably irritating the skin all over the face. If a scent makes your eyes burn -again -don't use it on the face. Here's the ';cosmetics cop'; and what she says about eye cremes:

It really depends, some eye creams are not too different vs. face creams. However, some of the higher end ones like NIA24's Eye Repair Complex has niacin (decreases lines) and caffeine (works against puffiness) and other brightening agents to diminish dark circles and is really made just for the delicate eye area, because the other NIA creams can be disturbing to the eye area. La Roche Posay is a decent brand found in drugstores that can have better ingredients. There's lots of competition now so you can get better products at drugstores.





So it depends on your age, as you get older, if you can, use better eye creams that have better ingredients to give you a better result. Oh and also use your fourth finger (ring finger) to apply creams as it's the weakest and most gentle on your eyes. Use gel in the morning to avoid smudges, and cream at night. Hope that helps!
It really depends on the moisturizer. Check the chemicals. I never rub anything near my eyes, like you said it's fragile. Even putting the most gentle creams around your eyes could come right back at ya in the long run.
Check this site out, they have alot of info on eye creams in general.
