      It's because you have been using the wrong concelear color to cover up your black eyes. The one that works for everyone is the salmon color (the blacker the more orange-salmon you should use your conceler) that color cancels the black and doesn't allow the black to show, plus it will fusion with your skin color.

    Esthetician here: I agree with everything you said here but I wanted to add something. After using loads of eye creams in my career, I have noticed that many spa eye creams do address specific eye concerns. They tend to be non-fragrance and lighter weight. They seem to absorb better and are less irritating to they eye area that my facial creams. Some people just have dryness under their eyes and a lighter weight cream can be helpful. Beauty counters, box beauty stores and drug stores are over hyping their claims and a lot are useless. Thank you for your content. I appreciate the education you are bringing to the consumers.

    What you should look for in your eye cream:
    - Caffeine (constricts the vases, causing blood to accumulate less in the area and making it less purple);
    - Retinol (for wrinkles).
    For puffiness:
    - Thermo-therapy (i.e. eye-patches) or talk to a doctor in case of fat deposits in the area.

I decided to go to the drs and take a blood test to see if I have any deficiencies or allergies that might contribute to my under eye darkness/ circles. Turns out I’m anaemic, have a few vitamin deficiencies and I have mild allergies. Once I started eating cleaner and avoiding foods that would agitate my skin, my UNDER EYE DARK CIRCLES / BAGS have IMPROVED!!!

    Beside special treatments and eye-safe retinoids, I would also add one situation when a person would need a separate moisturiser for the eye area: oily skin.
    My skin is very oily (truly oily, it stays oily the whole year and the whole face, not just the t-zone) and the moisturisers I use for the face (water creams and lotions that are basically just hydrating agents) are simply not occlusive enough for the drier under-eye area. I need more fatty, occlusive ingredients for under eyes, so I use a different product there. However, I do not use creams that are marketed as eye creams, exactly for the reasons you stated in the video. I use face creams or sleeping packs that are intended for dry or dry to normal skin types. If it's in a jar, I scoop them over to a small travel box so that I only touch and expose to air and light a small amount at a time. They last forever as I only use a tiny bit.

    Hello mam, At 4:33 you mention caffeine causes vasoconstriction. I'd humbly like to correct a little. Caffeine acts on vascular smooth muscle cells and after a short vasoconstriction effect, it causes significant vasodilatation. The under eye swelling or puffiness (non medically used term) is caused due to accumulation of tissue fluid aka lymph. Blood cannot temporarily seep out of capillaries and then go back in. So the effect of caffeine at the end is as you mention - depuffing, the process is entirely different.
    Caffeine dilates the blood vessels basically, so the lymph drains out faster than it otherwise would. Even if you don't apply caffeine, it would drain ultimately, but it will take time. Caffeine helps hasten the process a bit.

So if your eye cream helps then I would continue to use it. I recently tried the Niod fractionated eye serum and I must admit I can actually see a difference. When I finished it I used Cerave PM rather than spend again on the eye serum, but it caused dry patches so I'm back to eye creams. Guess it works for some people

      Creams can kinda slow the ageing process down. But they aren't a miracle pill that you take one time and you're go to go. Retinol and Hyaluronic Acid creams have to be used everyday. You can't stop using them and hope those fine wrinkles won't come back. Because if you stop using them those fine wrinkles will come back.
      And the Retinol products prescribed by a doctor are much stronger than those in over the counter moisturising creams. The over the counter stuff takes a lot longer before you see any results...... ☮️⚛️👀🌏

    I'm a Doctor, If I look at it from another view I could say that I'm glad they make under eye moisturizers because the one moisturizer I love on my face irritates my under eye area and don't moisturize it well, I use a hyaluronic acid gel for under eyes and my dryness problems are all gone. So the thing is, it's true around eye area is really a sensitive area and needs special formulas than those used for the face.
    Pricing issues are the same among all beauty products not jjust eye creams,so it depends on knowledge and personal preference.
    Lastly, I prefer those tiny bottles for eye creams bcuz no body really needs a big amount that will expire before finishing half of it because it's actually used on a small space.

      It depends on face cream. Some face creams irritate my under eye area too, some not. I need just moisturizers (I don't have any other problems with that area, for now, thankfully).

      I don’t know, i once used one specialized in under eye area that made my under eye dark circles to become red and so I stop using these types of creams..

      What she wanted to point out is, if you have problems with puffiness or dark circles around the eyes, no amount of moisturizer will treat that. If your problem is dryness around the eyes, then moisturizer is for you.

    Hi Cassandra, thank you for a brutally honest review, we, your viewers, truly appreciate it. On the topic of anti-ageing (anti-wrinkles) eye creams - have you ever come across Sesderma's Retises Eye contour anti-wrinkle 0,05%? Can you advise anything based on the ingredients? Now that we know that retinol is key, I think that it would be very interesting to learn what concentration of retinol to look out for to avoid those with negligent amounts. Thank you so much if you take the time to answer my query. :)
