Dark Circles & Puffiness

Targeted Care for the Under-Eye Area

The skin beneath the eye is the thinnest on the face, which is why fluid retention and underlying vasculature read so visibly there. The formulas in this collection approach the concern from two directions: caffeine and peptide blends that address the appearance of morning puffiness, and brightening actives that soften the look of shadowing and discoloration. Revision Skincare DEJ Eye Cream and SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Advanced Eye are the two most-purchased here, while Obagi ELASTIderm Eye Cream and SkinMedica Instant Bright Eye Cream lean toward the appearance of firmness and radiance respectively. For a fast pre-event option, SkinBetter Science Instant Effect Gel EYE gives a temporary tightening feel.

Will an eye cream get rid of my dark circles?

Not entirely. Darkness that comes from bone structure or genetics will not change with a topical product. What a well-formulated eye treatment can do is improve the look of surface discoloration, hydration and crepiness, which often makes the whole area appear less tired.
