Product Junkies

Hi guys,

I am new to this message board (ivillage altogether, to be honest). I am looking for an eye cream and was hoping for suggestions. I am 32 and am more of a preventive mode than a treatment-of-current-wrinkles one. Any ideas?

Also, since I am new to this site, I was just wondering if people have found it useful. What sort of advice do you search for on it? Or what are some of the most interesting boards? There are a lot and I am a little overwhelmed!

thank you in advance!

Hi there and welcome!

Altough it's pricey, I love Estee Lauder for skincare and they have the Advanced Night Repair Eye Cream that fights puffiness, dark circles etc... while preventing future skin damage.
Other than that, there's Clinique.
The most important thing is to moisturize, really, any product that you like will help if you apply it regularly. (I am 32 myself and have started with eye creams at 27, I hardly have fine lines around the eyes now!)

Now as to what boards to visit, it's hard to guide you: there are boards on everything! From health, parenting, pregnancy to sex, dating, work, cooking, beauty... Any subject you might be interested in is covered, really! We have a board to help newcomers find their way, it's the iVillage Tour Guide, and it can be found here: http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-ivtourguide
There are also places for chit-chatting and making friends, like here: http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-ivthis

Hope this helps!

Hi there; I wanted to chime in and welcome you to our communities, too! In addition to the info the CL offered, thought I'd share a few other things with you that I hope you'll find helpful and fun! ;-)

For eye cream suggestions, our editors have offered a few of their favorites:

If you enjoy experimenting with new looks by changing your hairstyle, color or even your makeup, you might enjoy using our online makeover tool. You can upload your own photo and save the looks you create...and it's totally free!

If you want to get a bit of an overview of the types of articles, blogs, quizzes, message board and resources we have in our Beauty & Style area, you'll probably want to check out our Beauty & Style home page and Beauty & Style Message Board Central.

I know the site can seem kind of overwhelming when you first start visiting, but I think you'll find that we cover just about every topic imaginable here at iVillage. We have a fantastic Health section, as well as Food, Home & Gardening, Pregnancy & Parenting and even Entertainment. And if you're looking for something specific you can't find, you can post on the Tour Guide board, as cl-itmylife2001 mentioned, or let me know... I'll be happy to help you find whatever you're looking for!

Hope to see you again around the boards!
