Dark Circles

Any eye skincare product recommendations for dark under eyes? I’ve tried the Biossance Eye Cream but it hasn’t helped my dark under eyes.

I am very sorry that you are experiencing this dark under eye business! Something that I use to help with my dark under eyes is the Paula’s Choice Anti-Aging Eye Gel. I think it helps to also use the Cerave Eye cream for moisturizing if you wanna put extra effort into it! I really hope this helps, and that you can return from this horrible dark eye circles!

Hi,

I have very dark under eye circles and because of that i have been able to find some great under eye brightening products. Before i give any recommendations i just wanted to let you know that when it comes to eye creams or eye brighteners, it is better to stay away from products in a squeezy tube with a metal applicator because most metal applicators on squeezy tubes are made of nickel which cause extreme irritation. I recently made this mistake and the nickel in the metal applicator caused me to get extreme irritation and a chemical burn under my eyes and anywhere I put the product.

Now onto the recommendations,

- Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Under Eye Brightener  

Yes, this product does have a metal applicator but it is not made out of nickel and I personally use this product and it does not give me irritation.  This product does a great job of brightening my undereyes and It also has a beautiful natural finish which does not dry out my undereyes. I would recommend only using this product during the day as it gives off a more concealer like finnish while still being very natural and skin like (i like to use this eye brightener on my no makeup, makeup days instead of concealer).

- Glow Recipe Guava Vitamin C Bright-Eye Gel Cream 0.5 oz / 15 mL  

This eye gel is great because it brightens and improves skin texture under the eyes while still being hydrating. My sister has used this product for about two months and has been seeing a huge difference in her any texture under her eyes and in her dark circles.

- OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright+ Vitamin CC Eye Sticks for Dark Circles Pumpkin  

I am obsessed with this under eye stick. It gives you a your skin but better look and evens out any discoloration under the eyes. It is also great under makeup because it does not pill or make your under eyes look dry. The only downside is the small shade range but I will say that every shade is very adaptable. If you consider yourself to have lighter skin then use shade banana, if you consider yourself to have medium, olive or tan skin then i recommend using apricot and if you consider yourself to have darker skin then use pumpkin. These sticks may look a bit orange at first but once you apply them the orange undertone goes away.

-   Drunk Elephant C-Tango™ Vitamin C Eye Cream 0.5 oz/ 15 mL  

I have not personally tried this product but I have heard that it is great for more mature skin because it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles under the eyes. This cream is also great for making your under eyes more firm without being drying. The only downside to this product is that it is on the more expensive side but if you don't mind the price then it is a great option.

I hope this helps.
