Recommendations for eyecream for dark circles

I'm looking for recommendations for a good eye cream for dark circles. I'm 38 and its something I have suffered with pretty much since I was a kid. My sister also has them so I think it's genetic. I had filler a few years ago and it helped, but the person I went to said that it didn't address the pigmentation and darkness. Is there anyone who has them and found a cream that really helps? I've kinda exhausted a lot of them but maybe there is a hidden treasure out there somewhere :)

Interested to see what response you get on this, as I also suffer from dark circles. I’ve tried so many things but nothing works.

@addictedtomafs sorry to hear you also have the dreaded dark circles. The only eyecream I found that ever worked was an amazing one from Gosh but unfortunately it was discontinued

I am Another who is in hope of a good suggestion. I've also suffered from a child. With my pale completion when they are very dark I can get a lot of concerned looks as it makes me look quite sickly.

@Motherwell91 yeah I totally relate. I get sick of being told I look exhausted even if I have had 8 hours sleep Confused

I’ve the same problem and I’ve never found anything to work :( apparently you can actually get the area tattooed lighter but it’s tricky because of course skin colour can change

Hydroquinone?

Nothing will stop your dark circles as it is likely not the skin but what is underneath that is dark. You can hide the appearance of them by using a brightening eye cream like Sunday Riley autocorrect (expensive). Otherwise, it’s using concealer!

You need a colour corrector, not a concealer in the first instance. Concealer on top if necessary.
No eye cream will magic them away. There are a couple that will brighten the area by using light reflective particles to deflect away from the shadows. Surprisingly one of the best for this was a Superdrug cheapo one in the radiant range.

I use Skin Iceland under eye patches then Bobbi Brown corrector, concealer and powder.

Another vote for Bobbi Brown's corrector, concealer and powder. Pre lockdown, I went into one of their stores and one of the assistants helped me chose the right colours. Worth every penny
