Dumb question maybe, on the list of ingredients, does it say "Parabens" or do you have to try and figure it out.

I'm looking for some antiwrinke eye cream without parabens, I say that the Yes to blueberries was recommended as not having parabens but wanted to look at other options too.

Yes, read the list of ingredients. If you see anything that's listed with a "paraben" at the end, those are the ones you want to avoid. Methylparaben and propylparaben are the ones I see all the time.

My favorite eye cream is by 100 Percent Pure: http://www.drugstore.com/100-pure-caffeine-eye-cream-organic-coffee-bean/qxp213607?catid=182883.

Jennifer, does that eye cream smell like coffee? My husband might like that, lol.

It does! The smell fades pretty quickly after application, but straight out of the tube it smells wonderful!
