Dark under-eye circles : Causes, care, best creams and skincare

Prima regola: Know your skin! Sono occhiaie se si presentano con una colorazione più scura, la maggior parte delle volte bluastra-violacea, e possono essere accompagnate da un infossamento della zona contorno occhi.

Sono tra gli inestetismi più comuni dell'area perioculare, colpiscono individui di ogni età e ogni genere e sono tra i più difficili da trattare.

Causes

The main causes of under-eye circles are:

  • Genetics: definitely the main cause.
  • Skin aging: this factor leads to fine lines and roughness, the famous "crow's feet", which worsen the appearance of under-eye circles.
  • Medical conditions: anemia, skin conditions like atopy or eczema, hormonal disorders, etc.
  • Lifestyle: lack of sleep, stress, eye rubbing, smoking, or excessive unprotected sun exposure can cause under-eye circles or worsen them if you already have them.

Ingredients to Use

Choose microcirculation-boosting ingredients like flavonoids (found in ingredients such as Chrysin, arnica, Centella Asiatica), caffeine, escin, and peptides (Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7).

In addition to these, hydrating ingredients that plump the skin, eliminating lines and roughness that make you look even more tired: hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, panthenol, and allantoin.

For the same reason, opt for anti-aging ingredients like peptides (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38) and antioxidants, which reduce melanin levels, such as Vitamin E, Vitamin C, niacinamide, and retinol.

Useful Tips

Choose a suitable formula made specifically for the Eye Contour Gel. Avoid behaviors that worsen the appearance of your under-eye circles: improve your sleep quality, quit smoking, don’t rub your eyes too much, and wear SPF!

Don’t be afraid to use other cosmetic allies, like concealer: for purple/blue under-eye circles, correct them with yellow concealer; for light blue under-eye circles, use peach/apricot-colored concealer; while for red under-eye circles, the right shade is green.

How to Prevent Under-Eye Circles

Remember, everyone is different: there are many causes of under-eye circles, and they can also occur together.

Don’t forget that it’s also a matter of expectations: since this is mostly a genetic condition, a dermocosmetic routine will help improve the appearance of under-eye circles and your face overall, but eliminating them will require medicine and cosmetic surgery (and, unfortunately, these are not always permanent).
