The FDA classifies creams and lotions as cosmetics and these products don't need to undergo rigorous testing for safety and effectiveness before going to market. There's no guarantee that these cosmetic products will reduce your wrinkles or even contain any of its advertised ingredients because the FDA doesn't evaluate cosmetic products for effectiveness.
Some research suggests that wrinkle creams contain ingredients that may improve wrinkles, but many of these ingredients haven't undergone scientific research to prove this benefit.

Thanks for this good advice. I really thought that i needed a separate cream for my eyes. My mom swears that the reason why she has wrinkles and some spotting is due to her lack of eye cream throughout the years. I wonder though if it was her smoking and lack of sunscreen that really aiding in the wrinkles...hmmm.
