Mods, I have no clue where to post this. It's not acne related, but it is skincare related. Please feel free to move this to wherever it may belong.

Okay, I have an annoying situation. One day this summer (back in like may or june or something), I think I got just a tiny bit of BP or something in my eye (forgot to wash my hands after moisturizing or something, then wiped my eye) and I got some pretty bad redness and creases under one eye. The redness and dryness went away, as did the wrinkles when my face is relaxed, and this is thanks to Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum (http://www.drugstore...076&catid=12355) because it was the highest rated on drugstore.com or something (I have been using it since almost the day it happened). Unfortunately, when I smile, that eye has some major wrinkles while the other has almost nothing. (see the attached pic). So, my question is, for anyone who has had this happen or who has just had experience with eye wrinkles in general, what would be the best kind of eye cream to try and get rid of the wrinkles on my left eye? Thanks in advance.

I have the exact same thing but mine is from never wearing sunglasses and always squinting. I'm looking for something too but still haven't found anything either.

Those look like smile lines, not dehydration wrinkles or anything that an eye cream is going to do much about, since they just moisturize the area and make it temporarily appear a little more filled out.

I have extremely dry eye skin, especially in the winter, and it gets worse with eyeshadow and any BP that gets in the area. I use this stuff around my eyes (and only around my eyes since it looks comedogenic as all hell) twice a day, and it does a nice job of preventing those flakes plus is way, way cheaper per ounce than those tiny little jars of eye cream, which by and large don't really have anything special going on. I also wear big celebrity-esque sunglasses to cover the area and prevent sun damage while I'm outside, since sunscreens tend to sting pretty bad there. Anyway, my recommendation would be to do some combo of cheap vitamin E cream around your eyes (Jason Naturals makes a nice one I used to use too), sunblock or hot sunglasses, and wipe that silly grin off your face because that's what's probably causing it

Yeah, but just around one eye? That's just weird. lol. Oh well, helpful information still. Guess I should just get the hell over it, huh? Or maybe I'll just become emo and never smile. Yeah...that might work...

Oh shit, I just realized it's only on one eye....don't know what to do man.

I don't think so...I mean I sleep on both sides...
