Ready to Buy Anti Wrinkle Eye Cream Products? Read These Top 4 Tips First.

With the plethora of anti wrinkle eye cream products available on the market today, how do you go about buying the product that is right for you? Even if money were no object, and let’s face it, not too many of us are in that enviable position, there is still the issue of time and effectiveness. No one wants to waste their time or money buying a product that doesn’t actually work.

As I have said in earlier articles, buying an eye cream can be an expensive proposition, there is also the risk of allergic reactions if the product is not right for you or used incorrectly. Whether you decide to go with something top of the line like Chanel Sublimage or, something a little more budget-friendly like this Clinique Repairwear Intensive Eye Cream , the same basic principles apply.

Here are my top 4 tips to help you buy the best eye cream for you:

1. Personal recommendation – got a girlfriend with gorgeous skin? What about your mum, your hairdresser, the lady you see on the bus every day? Ask them what they use. Most people are delighted to share. They usually feel flattered that someone has noticed enough to comment, and will usually be more than happy to tell you what they use.

2. Try a sample first – Most of the reputable skincare companies these days have samples available for their customers to take home and try. That’s not to say you should go from beauty counter to counter grabbing every sample out there just for the sake of it. When you see or hear about a product that looks appealing to you, ask if there are samples available. You also need to ask exactly how to apply the product and what results you can expect.

3. Consumer reviews – This is one of my personal favorites. We often read in magazines things like “Editors pick” or “Staff faves” etc. Sometimes these are genuine recommendations but bear in mind that the cosmetic companies spend kazillions of dollars wooing beauty editors into writing nice things about their products. They also spend big bucks in advertising so the mag itself is hardly going to bite the hand that feeds it by writing a bad review. Reviews written by consumers are a different matter. You can find these in magazines or even online. I would much rather hear the opinion of someone who actually purchased the product, than someone who got it as a freebie.

4. Money-back guarantee I’ve saved the best tip till last as this is a biggie to me. Most reputable companies will offer a refund or an exchange if you have an allergic reaction to their product. And fair enough too. But what about if the product just didn’t do what you wanted it to do? 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 whether I can return the product if I am not satisfied. If a company is confident in their products and cares about their customers, the answer will be a resounding YES. If there is hesitation, ifs, buts and maybes, then keep walking or clicking until you find a product whose manufacturers stand by their claims.
