Dark circles cream: the best products to rejuvenate your eyes

It sounds cliché, but it’s true: makeup looks good when the skin is well treated. When we talk about the face, countless creams can help to conquer the silky skin that women so desire. Dark circles cream is one of them.

Dark circles can be difficult to hide even with concealer, depending on their intensity. Continue on to learn more about the causes of dark circles and the best products to treat them!

Causes of dark circles

The dermatologist at the Leger Clinic, Gina Matzenbacher (CRM: 52.85449-2 / RQE: 20820), explains that there are three main causes of dark circles:

• Genetics: Genetics is the main determinant for the appearance of dark circles, as well as the factor that makes treatment more difficult.
• Vascular changes: they are responsible for the appearance of dark circles with purple tones.
• Increased melanin in the eye area: this is the cause of dark circles with brown tones.

Bags of fat and sagging under the eyes are also possible determining factors for the appearance of dark circles. It is important to remember that consultation with a dermatologist is essential to start the appropriate treatment.

In the case of superficial dark circles, Matzenbacher gives tips on home treatments with the use of substances rich in flavonoids, such as chamomile and cucumber, which improve blood and lymphatic circulation in the eye area. For the most intense dark circles, chemical peels, pulsed light, laser, filling the region and specific creams are the best options.

The best creams for dark circles

According to Matzenbacher, “Creams for dark circles normally act by increasing blood support in the eye area, thereby improving the functioning of all structures in the region. Result: improvement of skin texture and luminosity and control of eventual episodes of swelling at the site.
