What do you use? - Dark circles

[~Gee_Whizzy~]

So due to ongoing insomnia i now have terrible dark circles and puffiness under my eyes. Can anyone suggest/recommend a product that has worked for them?

So far i've tried cucumber, tea bags and haemarroid cream - all to no avail as i still look like i've gone ten rounds with Mike Tyson

any suggestions greatly appreciated.

subbing - wld love some ideas too. I've tried a roll on one that is in the oil of ulan range with no benefit. Also I think a loreal brand one that is caffeine or something? Anyway, it didn't work for me. I've got a pevonia eye cream that is good for puffiness but doesn't help with the dark circles.

Bad enough when you feel like death from lack of sleep, let alone look like it ;-)

In the past I have used the green roll on stick in the Garnier range, worked really well for me. I was actually able to go out without feeling like I needed to put on make up to cover my black eyes.

I think Clinique have one out that has rave reviews, I haven't tried it personally.

I have tried the garner roll on around my eyes but it didn't do a lot and then I forgot to use it daily.

I have a good concealer but yeah, other than that I am not sure.

I have never tried the tea bags or cucumber as I never have the time to leave it on for long enough to do anything.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I was using the Garnier one for awhile before I saw an improvement.

I tried and bought the Clinque one and loved it! Noticed a difference within a couple of weeks. Have been pretty lax about it over this whole festive/busy season so this thread is a good reminder for me to start again.

It applies really easily although it is a bit costly. I like it.

I think the best thing you can do for dark circles (even though yours are influenced by lack of sleep), is to support your liver. Cut out alcohol, fatty foods & maybe start the day with a fresh home made juice or try the liver cleansing diet.

thanks Ang - what is the name of it?

I don't use makeup at all. Hate the stuff, so I always go out looking like rubbish.
But I'm feeling you on the big bags. Just yesterday I had someone randomly say to me 'You look really sad' to which I said 'Nah, just really tired' and they said 'I can tell. Have a nice day'
Maybe I should invest in makeup :|

Anyways I'm subbing too cause I wanna know myself

I have all about eyes by Clinique and its awesome! Have they changed the name or is there two types now?

Nutri metics have a great one I use when the dark circles are in but it's a little exxy

I also find upping my water intake for a few days helps too!
