Puffy eyes and dark circles can be a tell-tale sign of our age, so keep the eye area bright and looking wide-awake with these fantastic eye serums
When it comes to the delicate eye area, banishing those dark circles sometimes requires more than simply logging a good night’s sleep… whilst tiredness can play a part, bags under the eyes can also be put down to genetics, pigmentation, and thinning skin. Whilst skincare products won’t necessarily be able to make those dark circles disappear completely, hi-tech ingredients found in eye serums can do wonders for diffusing light, brightening pigmented areas and giving the skin around the eyes a radiant appearance.
