Eye Creams For Dark Circles : What Worked For Me And What Not

Dark Circles under and around eyes, can ruin a beautiful face. Dark Circles can be a permanent resident on deep set eyes, like I have. From my experience, I can say, if you have dark circles, they can never totally disappear, but they can be minimised. I have tried many eye creams some expensive, some under budget. I am going to share what worked for my under eye area which has dark circles plus some fine lines also has started showing up. Will also let you know, which ones didn’t work for me. My skin is oily but my under eye area is very dry. So rich in moisture creams can only work for me.

If you are looking for natural remedies to treat your dark circles, read this.

Aroma Magic Under Eye Gel

Aroma Magic is a very trusted brand, and most of the products offered by this brand, are very effective. Aroma Magic under eye gel is a light gel based under eye treatment, which is suitable for dull & tired eyes. It is a gel, hence it gives soothing effect after a long day at work. This is perfect if you have mild dark circles or puffy eyes. Retails at about Rs. 135 for 20 gms. Since my under eye area is quite darkened, this gel could not give much brightening. But yeah, it definitely gave soothing effect to my eyes.

Aroma Magic Almond Under Eye Cream

If you have major dark circle issues, you need something heavy duty like Aroma Magic Almond Eye Cream. Almond Oil helps in reducing under eye fine lines and dark circles to great extent. But you have to be patient and consistent with the application. This also retails at Rs. 135 for 20 gms. It worked little bit on my under eye area. This could not make much difference though. It moisturised my under eye area. It felt little heavy since it contained almond oil.

Jovees 24 Carat Eye Contour Gel

I have not personally used it, but have read lots of reviews. Recently my sister started using this since she is also dealing with dark circles and fine lines under her eyes.It’s working for her.   A unique formulation containing 24 Carat Gold leaves, precious herbs and botanical along with pure gold. Since it’s a gel, it won’t feel heavy on your eyes. It refreshes eye area. You might layer up your regular moisturiser upon this gel for extra hydration. Retails at Rs. 235.

Forest Essentials Eye Cream With Anise

My HG eye cream. It’s texture, efficacy & smell, every thing is so wonderful. It gave results in about 2 weeks. It also helped me with fine lines under my eyes. It brightened my under eye area. It lasts very long since you need very little amount for each application. Read the full review here. The only downside of this eye cream is it’s ever raising cost. When I first started using it, it used to come for about 15oo bucks, very costly even at that price. Now, it retails at about 2200 bucks only for a 15ml pot. Way too costly.

Oriflame Optimals Seeing Is Believing Eye Cream

This is an eye cream which is not as costly as Forest Essentials Eye Cream, but almost as efficient. There is only little difference between Forest Essentials Eye Cream and Oriflame Optimals Eye Cream. Oriflame Eye Cream also take care of the dark circles and fine lines but it takes some time, while Forest essentials show results withing a lesser time period. To maintain the effects, you must use an eye cream. Oriflame’s Eye Cream retails for about 500-600 bucks, but I always buy it from Amazon at discount.

Juicy Chemistry Coffee & Green Tea Eye Cream

Who does not want fast results? Juicy Chemistry is a herbal brand. But it’s products are exceptionally quick to deliver results. Within 4-5 days my under eye area started looking moisturized and relaxed. Within 10-15 days, it started looking brighter than before. Being affordable & natural is like bonus point.

Clinique All About Eyes

I have used the tinted version of this cream as well as the non tinted version. This proved to be a good eye cream, just very costly. This is quite rich in consistency and provide good hydration. Gives little brightening effect to eye and also helps with fine lines. But it costs about 2850. Forest essential is cheaper and more effective.

Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector

This is actually a concealer plus eye cream. You can take it as a tinted eye cream. I didn’t find much difference in my dark circle while using it. I took it more as a very costly concealer since it costs around 3250 bucks.

Himalaya Under Eye Cream

I have seen people raving so much about this under eye cream, but my dark circle are quite intense, this cream could not do much about them. It retails for about 165 bucks, get from Amazon.in at discount.

Biotique Bio Almond Soothing & Nourishing Under Eye Cream

This is quite a thick cream, I found it too thick for an eye cream. I really had to rub it vigorously to try to make it fully absorbed into the skin which it never did. It just sat under my eyes. It was helpful with the dark circles, but I just didn’t like it for it’s texture. Also it took time to show up some results. It costs about Rs. 199 but available at discount on Amazon.in.

Oriflame Royal Velvet Firming Eye Contour Cream

It is not actually meant for dark circles, but it is rather a firming cream. It of course didn’t do much for my dark circles, but yeah worked little bit on the fine lines under my eyes. I didn’t repurchase it, because, I stumbled upon Forest Essentials Eye Cream by the time I finished this eye cream from Oriflame.

Iraa InstaRenew Multi Action Under Eye Cream

This is a light weight, fast absorbing & non greasy eye cream. It works to improve under eye texture and gives a smooth look. But do not expect much improvement in the improvement of dark circles.

L’Oreal Paris Youth Code Eye Cream

This is the worst eye cream I ever used. I am sorry L’Oreal, but I actually had an allergic reaction from this eye cream in first few usages. I bought the Youth Code Serum & Eye Cream few months back, but both proved to be a disaster. The face serum gave me rashes while the eye cream irritated my under eye area. End Of Story.

I shared my experience with some eye creams so that it could help some one. Look out for a rich in moisture eye cream if you are 25+, lack of moisture can introduce & intensify the eye area darkness & fine lines. You can go for gel based under eye treatments just for relaxation.

I will also share how I conceal my under eye area. Stay tuned.

XOXO.
