While some inherit thick, luscious manes and large, enviable eyes, I was born with a genetic predisposition to anxiety and unsightly dark circles. Unfortunately, there’s not much to be done about hereditary rings under the eyes without making a trip to the dermatologist’s office. But, while I wasn’t blessed with excellent genes, I do have something else—a market brimming with brightening eye creams that reduce the appearance of dark circles at my disposal.
Vichy’s Ideal White Eyes – Deep Whitening Illuminating Concentrate is a hypoallergenic formula steeped with whitening agents like caffeine and vitamin b3 that instantly diminish the appearance of dark circles. The multitasking Clarins Shaping Facial Lift Enhancing Eye Lift Serum is infused with alchemilla, kaki, and zerumbet plant extracts to combat the signs of aging and simultaneously brightening eyes. If you notice unwelcome shadows under your eyes (after an all-nighter or a long flight), you can benefit from the Clinique Pep-Start™ Eye Cream, which is akin to the beauty equivalent of a shot of espresso to your face. For a fast fix, the Klorane Smoothing and Relaxing Patches with Soothing Cornflower are crescent-shaped patches that sit underneath the eyes for 10 minutes to minimize signs of a late night out.
