I tried Neutrogena Healthy Skin Eye Cream to relieve eye strain at the computer, and it has quickly become one of my favorite skin care products. This gentle lotion soothes the delicate skin around the eyes and minimizes puffiness.

I've had trouble with eye creams in the past because I'm a contact lens wearer. Many eye creams get into my eyes, making them sting and sometimes blurring my vision. In the few months I've been using Neutrogena Healthy Skin Eye Cream, I haven't had those problems at all. It's possible that I just haven't gotten any into my eyes, but I doubt that my skill in applying cream has improved that dramatically. I wouldn't deliberately put cream in my eyes (and I don't recommend that you do, either), but I have often done so by accident.

Happy as I was with the cream, I didn't realize how effective it was until I started doing makeup for a friend's independent movie. I knew it made my skin feel better, but I didn't know it made such a difference in appearance--until one Saturday when several of the actors walked in with the usual post-party complaints: dark circles, puffiness, and dry skin. Spending Friday night up late drinking in a smoky room doesn't give you picture-perfect skin on Saturday.

The eyes are the windows to the soul, they say, so I couldn't let the actors sport bloodshot eyes and puffy eyelids. I whipped out the eyedrops and the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Eye Cream and persuaded all but the most timid of our actors to put a little of the cream on. (Side note: if men are so brave, why do some men fear non-menacing things like skin care products?) After a few minutes, I was ready to put makeup on the late-night revelers, and to my surprise, all of them looked substantially better. The puffiness had gone down, and even the color had improved a bit. The dry skin had soaked up the cream and taken on a healthier look suitable for applying makeup. Of course, I still had to douse the rest of their skin with a light moisturizer--but once the makeup went on, the actors looked as fresh as they had after a good night's sleep.

I've found Neutrogena Healthy Skin Eye Cream a great comfort to my own eye area, and have seen improvements in the skin's appearance and texture. I recommend this product to anyone looking for a good eye cream.
