The secret to looking young could very well lie in how healthy your under-eye area looks. Unfortunately, the hustle and bustle of modern life has made it difficult to get a good night’s sleep on a regular and frequent basis, opening the door for the advent of dark eye circles! Of course, how well an eye cream will work varies widely from person to person, and depends also on the cause of the dark eye circles (spoiler: it’s not going to help much if they’re genetic).
Be sure also to test the eye cream for any potential allergic reactions before applying them on your sensitive under-eye areas! If you’re still on the hunt for the perfect eye cream to make you look like you’ve had ten hours of sleep instead of five, read on for a list of the best eye creams for dark circles, which have received numerous positive user reviews across the Internet.
1. Vichy Mineral 89 Eyes
Here’s something that sounds very promising: a product that is clinically proven to deliver two times less dark circles within four weeks.
We’re talking about the new Vichy Mineral 89 Eyes, and the above-mentioned results came from a study that featured Asian women who used the product for four weeks.
The powerful ingredients are the reason why this eye care product works. Vichy Mineral 89 Eyes is formulated with Pure Caffeine, a known depuffing ingredient, as well as hyaluronic acid, which helps to intensely re-plump skin to address dehydration issues such as fine lines. Together with the Vichy Volcanic Thermal Water, a signature ingredient by Vichy, these ingredients help repair the eye contour area and reduce the appearance of fatigue such as dark circles and eye bags.
Best part? It’s free from “nasties” like parabens, silicones, alcohol, colourant, and fragrance, making it a great eye treatment even for those with sensitive skin.
Vichy Mineral 89 Eyes retails at SGD41 and is available at Guardian, Shopee, Amazon, and Watsons official stores.
