Which is better, a $12 eye cream or a $100 one?

It's a common dilemma: You don't want wrinkles or dark circles, but you don't want to shell out hundreds of dollars a year for eye cream either (am I right?). Are you doomed to crows feet or can you get results with a cheaper cream?

Short answer: Um … maybe. But … you have to know which one to use. This eye cream test proves that some inexpensive creams work as well as pricey ones. (See if you can tell the difference.)

What do you think? Are the expensive creams worth it? Or will you stick with drugstore brands?

    The fine lines seem quite diminised in the "after" shot, which is impressive. In general, I have not found that price and effectiveness of under eye creams correlate. Boots brand from CVS has been the most effective for me, and it is far from pricey.

    I say cheaper is always better because even the expensive stuff won't give you great results.

    Expensive doesnt necessarily mean it is better. You have to read the ingredients on the label and see if it contains the nutrients you skin needs. I make alot of my own skin care products such as toner and facial masks then I know what I am putting on my face. I swear the homemade is just as good as the expensive stuff.
