What ingredients are truly effective for the relief of dark circles under our eyes you ask? Well there are a wide array of things in this wonderful world that can help fade and eleviate the appearance of under eye bags. If you’re in an urgent position to get rid of your not so attractive black eyes, I would consider checking for eye creams and products with some of the following attributes:

  1. Firming Agents:
  2. Such things as retinol, alpha-hydroxy acids, vitamin C and copper are common ingredients among the most effect anti-aging eye creams and products. These ingredients actually work to stimulate collagen growth, and are truly effective in enhancing the skins elasticity and firmness, supporting the skin from within and stimulate growth causing (over time) firming of the skin and smoothing over of fine lines and wrinkles. Be weary of caffiene and and alcohol as ingredients though, as they are more short lived solutions that temporarily dehydrate the skin to pull it more tight.



  3. Inhibiting the darkness
  4. Several products are common place in effective relief of the darkness of the skin in the sensitive eye area, namely; Kojic acid, hydroquinone and vitamin K. Vitamin K for example has been proven to inhibit bruising of the skin, and this is why it is suspected to help counteract common and pesty dark shadows in the sensitive eye skin care area. The others, Kojic acid hydroquinone are known and effective skin whitening ingredients, common place due to their effectiveness in things such as bleaching and age spotting creams and treatments.

This basic list is a good guideline and starting point for determining an ingredient lists effectiveness, and should help you to make a more educated purchase if you are considering buying a treatment or skin care product to help elleviate the appearance of dark circles under your eyes and puffiness :)
