After a stressful few months, I managed to end up with really bad dark circles under my eyes. Ive been using No7 Beautiful Skin Overnight Revitalising Eye Balm but it hasnt made any difference.
Are there any products that genuinely work or alternative remedies?
I agree with Bianca. Vaseline is really useful for this kind of things. I'm sure that you'll see the change! And i can also suggest you Clinique's eye treatment cream. It's also really useful.
I've had dark circles under my eyes my entire life and no cream works. The only thing that kind of works is more sleep, just an hour more than usually is enough, more iron (very important), more water everyday and a good quality concealer. :/
I'm going to try and get more sleep for sure. I think I'm just going to have to deal with it & realise they'll never really go, all I can do is try to make them a bit lighter and use concealer on whats remaining. Big thank you to everyone for your tips though and I will try some of the products mentioned so keep an eye out for my reviews!!!
Bobbi Brown corrector is what I use under my concealer after an all-nighter. Sometimes I'll even go without the concealer and use the corrector by itself... set it with my mineral foundation and I'm set ready to face the day.
Girl I have under eye circles too. Ugh, they don't ever really go away but you can use certain things to diminish the signs of them. More sleep is SO TRUE! they dont magically go away but they look wayyyy less noticeable. As for eye creams ( I use them more for wrinkles which I don't have just a precaution) but clinique has some amazing ones. Also, concealer I agree with Shelley, Bobbi Brown but I also blend that w a GREAT full coverage concealer like Hard Candy ($6 !!!) or MAC Concealer w SPF 35... play around w some concealers and see which do the trick for you. (:
My under eye circles are genetic and i havethe hardest time with them. Besides sleep and good diet, the only eye cream thats worked for me and hows me a difference right away is clinique all about eyes cream. i love it!
One thing i like to do is take a concealer that is about a shade or two lighter than my skin tone and i put that under my eyes and it conceals the dark circles and helps brighten my eyes. Hope this helped! :)

Apparently if you put Vaseline or Lucas Pawpaw Ointment on before bed it makes them go away after a few days.

It seems like youve recently gained much more stress overtime causing tiredeness Get more sleep of course and less stress
BUT if you are looking for a great under eye cream i would strongly recommend my favorite AMORE PACIFIC a bit pricey though but worth it
also Origins has good under eye creams which are less pricey
Also remeber these creams will only improve the eye area but YOU WILL be satisfied
hope i helped and hope it works out for you good luck!!
