Dark circles, puffiness and fine lines can have different causes. A cosmetic eye product cannot “fix” every cause or replace assessment of a persistent eye-area concern.

Separate the concern

  • Pigment and visible blood vessels can affect color.
  • Fluid, allergy, sleep and anatomy can affect puffiness.
  • Dryness and expression can affect the appearance of lines.

Use eye-area products as directed

Check labeled placement, avoid the eye itself and stop use after a significant reaction. Retinoid eye products require the same ingredient and pregnancy-related caution as other retinoids.
