Top 4 Tips For Choosing Your Anti Wrinkle Eye Cream Products

 With so many anti-wrinkle eye creams on the market today, how do you go about choosing the right product for you? Even if money were no object, and let's face it, there aren't too many of us in this enviable position, there's still the issue of time and efficiency. No one wants to waste time or money trying a product that doesn't actually work.

As I have mentioned in earlier articles, eye creams can be expensive, there is also the risk of allergic reactions if the product is not suitable for you or is used incorrectly. Whether you opt for something high-end or a more budget-friendly product, the same basic principles apply.

Here are my 4 tips for choosing the best eye cream for you:

1. Personal recommendation - do you have a girlfriend with beautiful skin? What about your mom, your hairdresser, the lady you see every day on the bus? Ask them what they use. Most people are happy to share. They're usually flattered that someone noticed enough to comment, and they're usually happy to tell you what they're using.

2. Try a sample first – Most reputable skin care companies these days have samples available for customers to take home and try. That doesn't mean you should go from beauty counter to beauty counter and grab every sample out there just for the sake of it. When you see or hear about a product that appeals to you, ask if samples are available. You also need to ask how exactly to apply the product and what results you can expect.

3. Consumer Reviews – This is one of my personal favorites. In magazines we often read things like "Editors pick" or "Staff Faves" etc. Sometimes these are real recommendations, but keep in mind that beauty companies spend kazillions of dollars to entice beauty editors to write nice things about their products. They also spend a lot of money on advertising, so the magazine itself can hardly bite the hand that feeds it by writing a bad review. Reviews written by consumers are another matter. You can find them in magazines or even on the Internet. I would much rather hear from someone who actually purchased the product than someone who received it as a treat.

4. Money Back Guarantee I saved the best tip for last because it's a big deal to me. Most reputable companies will offer a refund or exchange if you have an allergic reaction to their product. And fair enough too. But what if the product just didn't do what you wanted? What if you just didn't like the texture, the smell, or the way your skin felt after application? One of the questions I always ask is if I can return the product if I'm not satisfied. If a company believes in its products and cares about its customers, the answer will be a resounding YES. If you hesitate, if but and maybe, then keep walking or clicking until you find a product whose manufacturers stand by their claims.
