Please help me find a eye cream/serum which gets rid if dark circles! I have light asian skin. I looked haggered all the time and look ancient.

Any ideas? Have used Clinique all about eyes, elemis-serum, Nivea-q10 stuff.

Me too - dark olive skin with dark brown pigmented circles. Have tried loads too (Clinique one utter sparkly shite) - thank god for Bobbi Brown Corrector!

Is the corrector a concealer?

Marking my place here! Always had dark circles and have always looked tired without concealer.

My thank goodness is Laura Mercier's Secret Camouflage.

Clinique Anti-Gravity eye cream has done wonders for me and I thought I had tried them all and had certainly spent a fortune. I am very pale skinned and think it is well worth the money.

I don't wear any make up, never have its a struggle to put eye cream and moisturise on twice a day with the lo!

Mrs - it's a peach toned concealer that cancels out the darkness of the pigmentation. You then layer foundation and/or regular concealer in your normal skintone. Have to be quite light handed with it or it can settle into fine lines, but as long as skin is moisturised and you set it with a light dusting of powder it doesn't look too cakey.

Some of those highlighting/concealer pens are quite good too, but most are too light for darker skin (apart from YSL or Sleek).

My mum has them so think a lot is genetics Hmm
