What is the best eye cream for dark circles?

Have you ever wondered what causes dark circles under your eyes?

Many people will tell you that fixing it is as simple as getting more sleep or drinking more water. But it's a bit more complex than that. And the good news is that there is something you can do about it.

What causes dark circles?

Lack of sleep and dehydration are common causes of dark circles under your eyes. But if you look more closely, you might see that the dark circles have either a blue or brown tinge to them. This colour determines what the underlying cause is and how best to care for them.

Blue or purple: 

Are known as vascular dark circles and indicate a lack of circulation of blood and lymphatic liquid around the eyes. Lymph fluid helps blood to circulate and keep the skin around the eye healthy. If the lymph system isn’t working properly, it can't get rid of the blood pigments effectively. And because the skin around the eye is so thin, this accumulation becomes very visible, hence the dark circles.

Brown:

These are known as pigmented dark circles, which are a result of inflammation or stress around the eye. This causes the production of melanin, which is the chemical that is responsible for the colour of our skin. This excess of pigment caused by the inflammatory response is so much easier to see because of the thin skin around the eye.

What is the best eye cream for your dark circles?

Our new Rides Eye Contour Global Treatment contains a combination of three botanical extracts chosen to help reduce the look of both kinds of dark circles, plus ingredients that help soften the look of wrinkles.

If you have vascular dark circles, it is formulated to help the eye area look brighter and less shadowed.

For pigmentation dark circles, it helps soothe the eye area and improve the look of uneven tone.

As an added benefit, it helps the eye area look less puffy, which often goes with dark circles.

Germaine de Capuccini clinics also offer a new treatment using suction and rose quartz massage, designed to leave the eye area looking refreshed and less puffy.

Our SRNS Illuminating Eye Detox Formula is also a good choice for dark circles. It is more suitable for younger clients as it does not contain the anti-wrinkle properties of the above product, but it helps reduce the appearance of dark circles and leaves the eye area looking fresher. Plus, it has a slight tint to reflect light and minimise imperfections.
