Best Eye Cream For Dark Circles And Puffiness

Dark circles around the eyes develop due to various reasons such as stress, lack of sleep, taking an unbalanced diet, smoking, working long hours on computer, sun damage, genetics and most importantly due to aging. Eye puffiness, on the other hand, may occur due to hormonal imbalances in the body, fluid retention, taking a sodium rich diet, alcohol abuse, oversleeping or under sleeping, stress and pollution. Whatever might be the reason behind these, the fact is that nothing spoils the beauty of a woman or makes her look much older than she is, than dark circles under eyes and puffiness.

The market today is flooded with many eye creams, with some proclaiming to be the best for dark circles, some claiming to be the best cream with SPF and others claiming to be the best for puffiness. However, if someone is suffering from both these conditions i.e. eye puffiness and dark circles simultaneously, it makes sense to opt for an eye cream which eliminates both these simultaneously. Given below is a list of the best creams along with their ingredients and reviews, which claim to eliminate both these conditions with regular usage.

Ingredients
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Hyaluronic Acid, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7,
Arnica Vitamin K and Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate.

Review
The main advantage of this is that it helps in keeping the skin around the eyes hydrated and moisturized. It is known to reduce dark circles, puffiness and bags which develop around the eyes. In fact, if you go through the customer reviews on the Internet, some of them claim that its effects are visible within three weeks. According to the manufacturer, this cream rebuilds the tissue strength, thus making the skin around the eyes firmer and thicker. The main drawback of this cream is that it can be very pricey. Its retail price is approximately $89, which can be very hard on the purse. Also, the company does not provide any free sample to the customers.

EyeVive

Ingredients
Pamitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Algae concentrate, citrus fruit extracts like Chrysin and collagen.

Review
This eye cream with peptides reduces dark circles, puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. Puffiness which is caused due to fluid retention can be especially relieved with regular application of this cream. Also, the lost collagen in the skin around the eyes gets restored naturally by applying this cream with collagen on a daily basis. One of the biggest advantages of this cream is that unlike other creams, it can be used on the entire face. This cream comes in a pump-topped bottle which makes it impossible for bacteria to reach the cream, making it extremely safe for using around the sensitive eye area. Its main disadvantage is that there is very less information on its ingredients. Also, this cream is highly priced i.e. $ 90 approximately and almost impossible to find at stores (can be purchased online though).

Roc Retinol Correxion

Ingredients

Review
If there is one cream that can be trusted, it is Roc Retinol as the manufacturer of this cream has been in the skin care business for over forty years. This cream is hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and oil free. And the best part is that it just costs $ 20, making it affordable for almost everybody. This cream is claimed to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles around the eyes. This cream with vitamin k and retinol is known to make the skin around the eyes firm and thick. This makes the skin smooth and younger looking within a few weeks of application. Its main disadvantage is that if it accidentally enters the eyes, it can cause a lot of irritation. Also, this cream might not suit every body and a person takes time, approximately two weeks to get used to it.

Revita Lume Under Eye Dark Circle Treatment

Ingredients
Hesperidin methyl Chalcone, Chrysin Cucumer Extract, Palmitoyl oligopeptide and palmitoyl tetrapeptide.

Review
The manufacturer offers this cream for a thirty day trial period which is free. Although the manufacturer claims that it will start showing results within three days, the reviews of the customers who have used it show that it takes approximately a month for this cream to show its effects. This eye cream with collagen makes the skin around the eyes thick, reduces eye bags, under eye circles and puffiness. It is also claimed to smoothen and refreshen the skin. Some of its drawbacks are that many of its ingredients are not very well-known and the product can be bought only from the manufacturer's website.

The skin around our eyes is much thinner and delicate compared to the skin on the rest of the body. So while applying any of the proclaimed creams mentioned above, it is advised that you consult a dermatologist.
